Headed by former employee Mary McCord, who helped set up Flynn then moved on to work with Adam Schiff on impeachment.
Interesting that Mary McChord started it... she was in charge of the investigation of the State Dept’s Candice Claiborne who was spying for China... I wonder if she took charge of that in order to control the scope and depth of the investigation...
APRIL - MAY 2012 : (SOMETIME IN THIS PERIOD STATE DEPT EMPLOYEE CANDICE CLAIBORNE PROVIDES HER CHINESE HANDLER WITH INFORMATION ON CHINESE DISSIDENT CHEN GUANGCHENG, WHO WAS SECRETLY STAYING AT THE US EMBASSY IN BEIJING ) -— http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/state-department-employee-accused-of-aiding-chinese-spies.html
