We should be learning more hopefully. It does highlight China as a real threat that would like to damage the USA as much as possible.

I wonder what took so long to make the arrest. Maybe they hope to gain more information by keeping an eye on his activities. IDK

Five of the last six what ? Spy's and traitors ?

I haven't been keeping track but that sounds right. I wonder why ?

Now that I think about it the last admin. was very lax on national security and its a major issue now just how bad they were.

Poor leadership that's for sure.

I'd like to see more information on this, I assume we'll learn more as the story develops. I'd like to know how and why this all happened.

This guy was a CIA agent for over 20 years. If the allegations are true, I wonder what happened that made him betray his oath and country.
