Are you sure?! How can an Amish person be working for the government in DC?
Of course not. That’s why they only charged her with lying to FBI. They don’t have to get into the primary crimes at the trial that way.
I have to imagine that law-savvy spies, when calculating the potential costs if caught and how they conduct their operations, consider that they’ll be free from prosecution for deeds that would require revealing sources and methods in open court. This really weakens the deterrent for certain types of espionage.
If she had simply refused to say anything to the FBI, perhaps she would have gotten off scot free, though her diplomatic career would have been kaput. She did have her Chinese fashion design training to fall back on.
I see you decline to defend your ridiculous, ignorant, statement.
To which of my rediclous, idiotic statements do you refer?
Have the co-conspirators mentioned also been arrested and charged?
If not why not? If yes who are they?
Unknown
Let’s just say she is a member of a group that might go to “church” to hear the (un)Reverend Wright.
Be well.
Throw the book at her and let her plea out for a slighter lesser charge in return for naming names.
You can bet she's not the only one in the thousand or more State Department employees who was on the take....or worse.

LA Times says she supplied the Chinese with information about a dissident living at a US embassy but she claims she gave them only unclassified information. Not sure if she means information that was never classified or information that had been declassified.
Trying to help “a younger relative” get into a fashion school in China.
This relative did something while in China [or was accused of doing something in order to set her up] and the Chinese agents did her a favor to “help the relative flee China.”
I suspect the dissident she gave the Chinese information on was Chen Guangcheng ... if so that was quite the strange case.
If it’s this guy he was pretty much screwed over because of all-important Iran and North Korea nuclear negotiations- they left the poor guy at a Chinese hospital after leading him to believe he would have 24 hr protection :

No, she’s not.
She’s since plead guilty in April 2019...
question is, why was a person attached to “Caucasus Affairs” in Shanghai and why were the Chinese interested...
Ukraine?
And why was there so much fake news posted about her including a misleading photo?
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia
And of course the region borders on Iran
She looks like she could be Obama’s daughter... funny thing is - even now- when you google her some droopy white woman pops up, I believe that’s just the official who read the charges. You have to wade through all the fake news to get to the real pic. Google has never gotten around to fixing that, I wonder why?
