“Both men born in China and naturalized US citizens. How they received top secret clearance?”

That’s a good question. We had a lovely couple in our SoCal church, born in China and naturalized US citizens. Due to DH’s security clearances we couldn’t even SOCIALIZE with them because it might jeopardize Hubby’s clearances. And now these Navy guys HAVE T.S. clearance? It’s a crazy world.

Jinchao Wei was a Chinese born citizen that was approached by Chinese intelligence during his applicartion for citizen into the US.

“Wei was approached by a Chinese intelligence officer while his application to become a U.S. citizen was pending.”

Wenheng Zhao was also a naturalized citizen from China and his work is alleged to have covered over a year starting in 2021.

Not surprised this is coming out as it is being used to deflect the state government, and their superstar governor, from the Reedley problem.

It was a package deal: A worthless piece of refrigerator art and a free spy placement in military installation, all for $500,000!

Confirming that they aren’t being fed disinformation? They might need potential saboteurs at low levels , anyway.

Both men born in China and naturalized US citizens. How they received top secret clearance? The Maxwell Smarts at the FBI are not saying.

More of our “diversity strength” helping out America’s enemies. Why not? It’s obvious that’s why they joined the American military in the first place.

How did they give out security clearances like this? I don’t remember anything like this in the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s. Just having a foreign spouse from a non-NATO country was a problem for any ticket above secret.

That is why Biden is so ticked. He did not get his cut. Back when I was a Counselor, I used to tell my Clients, "Don't steal, the Government doesn't like the competition."

ransomnote, When the Government, or an Agent of the Government steals, it is o.k. AS long as the Big Guy gets his cut.
