First, the judge said this case was BS.
Personally, I can't find a motive. There was no cash changing hands. No mistress. No drugs. No ideology.
If lee was a spy, I can't find a motive.
Every spy case I know of has cash, sex, drugs, or ideology involved.
Did he turn stuff over to the Chi-coms; i.e., was he a spy? I don't know. Perhaps if he did spy he was coerced.
Knowing that he lived up to his plea agreement will be a strong indicator IMO that he was not a spy and it will suggest that the judge was right.
You're not looking very hard, are you?
They said the same thing about Alger Hiss.
He likely always has been a closet Chi-Comm agent. That IS who he helped, after all. He expressly tipped off another Chi-Comm agent at Lawrence Livermore by a recorded phone call that the FBI was onto him.
And if you're gullible enough to believe Lee's story that, after his dedicated, time-consumingly tedious surreptitious measures to sneak the information out of the secure computer system onto his portable syquest drive...Lee suddenly just "lost track" of the device...then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
I would bet a million dollars that the drive now resides in China and has for over 8 years.
And if it isn't a closet communist sympathy...How about something as simple as Chinese nationalism. Seems to be working BIG TIME with a lot of expatriate Chinese community.
And as far as other motivations...do you happen to know whether there aren't massive bank accounts for Dr. Lee in Swiss or other foreign banks deposited for him by his "friends" in Bejing?
As for the Xlinton-appointed judge, need anything more be said? NOTHING in the public or private realm vindicated Lee of being a spy. It was purely Xlinton disinformation to shelter his own connections to China, which did not bear close scrutiny...and would have been the PROPER reasons to bring him up on articles of impeachment.
Lastly, if you persist in your slanted "disbelief" in the original FBI case against Lee (which was never disproven, or given an opportunity to be tried), then you are implicitly buying into the Xlinton goat-scaping of loyal patriots, such as Notra Trulock.
I believe Notra.
