Yesterday, Ron Rockwell Hansen, a 58-year-old resident of Syracuse, Utah and former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officer, pleaded guilty to attempted espionage. Hansen allegedly tried to transmit sensitive defense information to the People”s Republic of China. According to a U.S. Department of Justice press release: Hansen held a Top Secret clearance for many years, and signed several non-disclosure agreements during his tenure at DIA and as a government contractor. During the course of his relationship with the agents of the Chinese intelligence service, Hansen received hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation for information he provided them, including information he gathered at various industry conferences. The information in the documents related to the national defense of the United States in that it related to United States military readiness in a particular region and was closely held by the United States government. The Washington Times revealed she was notified by the FBI five years prior The senator said in a statement that “he was not a mole or a spy, but someone who a foreign intelligence service thought it could recruit.” “The FBI reviewed the matter, shared its concerns with me, and the employee immediately left my office. The FBI never informed me of any compromise of national security information,” she said. As a chairwoman on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 2009 to 2015, Feinstein had access to the intelligence community”s most sensitive secrets, which included clandestine spying operations, covert action programs and other secret intelligence operations. The Daily Caller reportedly obtained his name Russell Lowe a Chinese-American who worked for Ms. Feinstein for 20 years Feinstein never disputed their findings. Hansen may have worked directly for or with the senator and her staff, including Russell Lowe. Other spies, such as former CIA officer Kevin Mallory, who was charged and convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage in attempting to sell secrets to China, and Jerry Chun Shing Lee, who was also arrested on spy charges, may have all collaborated together in a vast Chinese intelligence “spy network” that still operates to this day. Jeffrey Harp, a former FBI special agent who specialized in counter-espionage, said investigations like the one involving Feinstein”s staff member are “difficult and very complicated.” “Sometimes the endgame is not prosecution but disruption,” he commented. The Washington Times In an August, 2018 interview, Harp said, “They always have their tentacles into the community, not only for secrets but for political influence.” Last year, Feinstein and her staff were accused of leaking to the press a confidential letter from one of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh”s accusers, Christine Blasey Ford. When confronted about it by a fellow senator during the controversial Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, Feinstein seemed befuddled: Considering her past actions and behavior, is it too much of a stretch to believe the senator herself might also be directly involved in providing China with sensitive information? $94 million How did she make that much money with her current salary of $174,000/yr?
