Bias: Last week a report from far-Left Politico detailing Russian and Chinese espionage efforts in Silicon Valley contained a massive bombshell nugget that ought to have been the top story for a week for every major news outlet.
In reporting on the ongoing espionage efforts, which are aimed at stealing trade and technology secrets, the news site noted that the Chinese especially are also conducting political espionage, as there is a large ethnic Chinese presence in San Francisco and the surrounding area.

Democrats get warning from Obama DOJ. Republicans get FRAMED by the Obama DOJ.
Question: Why would the Feds inform a Senator that she is being spied on and not notify a Presidential Candidate?
If it means that Mueller can continue the witch hunt if he can find the trigger for Trump’s impeachment. Chinese spy’s, selling Uranium to the Russians, collusion with Iran is nothing to them as long as they keep their eyes on the prize.
(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.
(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.
(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")
(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.
================================================
"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to theClinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?
================================================
REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet. This has gone too far and it needs to stop now, Reid said. I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.
============================================
Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprats Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:
<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations:
Caesars Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.
NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.
Harry w/ grand-daughter Ryan Elizabeth Reid. ///One Congressman (now in jail), and certain associates, borrowed $1 million from a wealthy supporter and disguised the funds as a loan to a consulting company for a mayoral race.
After he lost the mayoral election, the Congressman allegedly returned $400,000 to the donor that the campaign had not used, and arranged for Educational Advancement Alliance (EAA), a non-profit entity that he founded and controlled, to repay the remaining $600,000 using charitable and federal grant funds that passed through two other companies, including one run by an associate.
To conceal the contribution and repayment scheme, the defendants and others allegedly:
<><> created sham contracts, and,
<><> made false entries in accounting records, tax returns and campaign finance disclosure statements.
In addition, after his defeat in the mayoral election, he sought to extinguish approximately $130,000 in campaign debt owed to a political consultant by agreeing to arrange for the award of federal grants of tax dollars to the consultant.
The Congressman directed the consultant to apply for a tax dollars in the form of a $15 million grant (which he did not ultimately receive), on behalf of a then non-existent non-profit entity.
In exchange for the award of the funds to the non-profit, the consultant allegedly agreed to forgive the debt owed by the Congressman's campaign.
The Congressman also misappropriated funds from his mayoral and congressional campaigns to repay his sons student loan debt. To execute the scheme, arrangements for his campaigns to make payments to a political consulting company, which the company then used to lessen the sons student loan debt.
Between 2007 and 2011, the consultant made 34 successful loan payments on behalf of the Congressman's son, totaling approximately $23,000.
In another alleged scheme, beginning in 2008, the Congressman communicated with individuals in the legislative and executive branches in an effort to secure an ambassadorship or an appointment to the U.S. Trade Commission. In exchange, the putative appointee provided money and other items of value to the Congressman.
As part of this scheme, the indictment alleges that the defendants sought to conceal an $18,000 bribe payment by disguising it as a payment for a car sale that never actually took place. Finally, the indictment alleges that one insider obtained $50,000 in federal grant funds that supposedly claimed would be used by EAA to support a conference on higher education. The conference never took place.
Instead, the insider used the tax dollar grant funds to pay $20,000 to a political consultant and $10,000 to her attorney, and profited herself by riting several checks to herself from EAAs operating account.
ABC-TV reports on suspicious visas being fast-tracked -- and the role top Democrat, Harry Reid, played. Officials overseeing a federal program that offers an immigration short-cut to wealthy foreign investors have ignored pointed warnings from federal agents and approved visas for some immigrants suspected of having committed fraud, money laundering, and even one applicant with alleged ties to a child porn website, an ABC News investigation has found.
The shortcomings prompted DHS concerns that the boutique immigration program would be exploited by terrorists, according to internal documents obtained by ABC News.
It is shocking, said Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican. Particularly when you have F.B.I. and other law enforcement agencies that are saying national security could be compromised or is being compromised -- that's enough for us to be concerned.
Five different Homeland Security whistleblowers spoke with ABC News about a range of cases where visas were approved despite numerous red flags. They said objections were often ignored because the immigration program is so popular within the Obama Administration and with members of Congress from both parties.
===============================================
In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (Rep-Iowa) exposed the visa
program----Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas
1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.
2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.
3) Use by terrorists.
4) Investment fraud by regional center.
5) Investment fraud by investors.
6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.
7) Illicit finance/money laundering.
=========================================================
Obama's hand-picked henchman, USCIS' Leon Rodrigues, oversees EB-5 visas. Under Obama/Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:
NEED TO KNOW----ARE REID/OBAMA/RODRIGUES SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO:
<><> (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS,
<><>(b) ISIS TERRORISTS,
<><> (c) FOREIGNERS FINANCING THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT.
=============================================
Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a Third World pressure group pushing for unlimited immigration on behalf of foreign governments. Rodrigues also has connections to foreign pressure groups across the nation.
(National Review) More than 5.46 million foreign nationals received work permits from the federal government since 2009, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.
Data uncovered from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency reveal that approximately 982,000 work permits were given to illegal immigrants and other foreign nationals unqualified for admission, most of whom crossed the border without inspection.
USCIS is the agency within DHS responsible for issuing work permits and processing applications related to President Obamas executive action on immigration. On Tuesday, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that funds DHS, while blocking funding that would allow USCIS to implement the presidents executive action.
The remarkable number of work permits granted by the federal government to law-breaking aliens better explains how all net jobs growth since 2007 has gone to immigrants. The government issued approximately 1.7 million work permits since 2009 to aliens whose status was not known, not recorded, or not disclosed by USCIS, according to the report.
The report says employment is not authorized by law for approximately 1.2 million immigrants who collected work permits while having a temporary visa status. And the data show that approximately 1,200 new work permits went to unlawful entrants who were denied asylum, were suspected of using fraudulent documentation, were stowaways, or were refused at a port of entry.
Approximately 1.1 million legal immigrants and 700,000 guest workers enter the country every year along with the millions of foreign nationals that have received work permits from the federal government, according to a statement from CIS.
I was astonished at the huge number of work permits that are being issued by the Obama administration outside the legal immigration system through executive discretion, especially at a time of high unemployment and stagnant wages, said Jessica Vaughan the director of policy studies at CIS in a statement. Besides the effect on the American worker, it encourages and rewards more illegal immigration.

CIRCA MARCH 206——Hillary Begs For Democrat Establishment To Save Her From FBI Probe
dc whispers ^ | March 11, 2016
FR Posted by Red Steel
Two of the most powerful members of Congress, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., both longtime Clinton supporters, were among a five-member group who sent a letter accusing the investigation into Mrs. Clinton by the Obama-appointed Inspectors General of being tainted by partisan politics.
The letter was particularly strong in condemning State Department inspector general Steve A. Linick of a fishing expedition.
It should be noted that Mr. Linicks Washington D.C. career began in great part when he worked under the Bill Clinton administration as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for almost the entirety of the Clinton administration.
The Feinstein letter is being viewed by many as a direct shot across the bow of Mr. Linicks future career within the federal government. In short, he is being told to back off of Hillary Clinton. It is also intended to continue to give Clinton the ability to state on the campaign trail that the entire email scandal is yet another in a long line of what she once so infamously declared to be a vast right-wing conspiracy against her and her then-President husband.
There is a very important problem with that current narrative though, and it is one which the the Clinton Machine is all too aware of. The investigation long ago expanded beyond the office of the Inspector General. It has for months been an FBI matter. This same FBI is said to be nearing its concluding phase of the investigation, the results of which apparently have Hillary Clinton very-very concerned.
As well she should be.
Mrs. Clinton has been caught intentionally sharing a repeated misdirection with the American public when she declares she never sent or received information that was marked classified via email.
That is true NOBODY in the federal government receives email that is marked classified. Government email is such that classified emails go through a specific, government-protected email system without being marked classified.
The classification designation is simply implied by way of Mrs. Clintons former position as Secretary of State. She knows this, and yet she purposely set up a private email server to bypass the governments system.
NO FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE HAS EVER DONE THIS.
When Mrs. Clinton says her predecessors did the same thing regarding having a private email account, she is again misleading the publican the FBI knows it. First, Hillary Clinton used email by the tens of thousands. No other Secretary of State has ever done that. Second, Mrs. Clinton purposely mixed personal and government business onto the single private, unsecured server. No other Secretary of State has ever done that either BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL.
So the FBI is watching as Hillary Clinton repeatedly misleads the American public, even as it continues to extract information from the private server Mrs. Clinton attempted to destroy including the over-30000 emails the former Secretary of State refused to hand over to investigators but instead had her legal team delete from the server.
Rumors now suggest a shoe is about to fall within four to six weeks regarding this matter, and that Hillary Clinton has been in near-daily contact with her legal team in preparation for what they fear to be a difficult outcome for her campaign and perhaps even her own personal future.
Hillary Clinton is in big trouble. She knows it, and is begging her high-powered, political-elite friends to try and save her and her 2016 campaign:
POTUS is accused without evidence and investigated while Democrats with a mountain of evidence of criminality are not investigated. Shockingly, the GOP is just fine with this situation.
Secret FBI meetings w/ Democrat Yee contain details you'd expect of a mob thriller: murder for hire, gun running, marijuana farming, truckloads of contraband cigarettes and stolen liquor and political pay-for-play. The story is stranger still given the political corruption target. Democrat Yee holds a doctorate in child psychology and has held elected posts on the San Francisco school board and Board of Supervisors, and has sat in both the California Assembly and Senate. In the affidavit, he is described once as "Uncle Leland."
==============================================
Gun-grabber State Sen Leland Yee knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc....how'd he know that?
Did Lee get any help from Di/FI...and Hillary's State Dept?

CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF ARMS TRANSFERS
Third party transfers are subject to requirements for Congressional notification under AECA, §3(d) (reference (c)), using guidelines similar to those for AECA, §36(b) (reference (c)) notifications (see Chapter 5, section C5.6).
A 30-day prior Congressional notification is required for third-party transfer requests that involve defense articles and services with original acquisition values that fall in one of the following categories: Major Defense Equipment (MDE) with an acquisition value equal to or greater than $14,000,000 for non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) recipients and $25,000,000 if the recipient is a member of NATO, Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand or Republic of Korea; or any other defense article or related training or defense service with an acquisition value of $50,000,000 or more for non-NATO recipients and $100,000,000 or more for NATO, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand recipients.
Approval is granted after the 30-day (including weekends) period has expired if no objections are raised.
================================================
NOW GO GET DI/FI.
BACKSTORY: Back in Sept 2014, Senate intel head Di/Fi was whining about the CIA looking through her computers and taking documents. Clearly, the CIA had plenty on her----even BEFORE the shocking Chi/Com missile scandal broke.
Di/Fi's known aversion to guns did not prevent her from honoring jailbird Lee's co-defendant, Raymond Chow---Chow is the key figure in Cali's Demorat state Sen Leland Yee's shocking missile deal w/ China (Yee is a notorious grabber of American guns).
INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:
<><>Feinstein heads the Senate Intel Committee;
<><> Her hubby Richard Blum made million as the lawyer for Chinese interests;
<><> gun-grabber Leland Yee knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc;
<><> Co-conspirator Raymond Chow was jailed, then freed when he professed to be a really nice guy.... honored by Di/Fi for working with local Chinese youths.
====================================================
THE DI/FI STORY COULD DWARF YEE'S ARMS DEAL: Taxpayers demand and investigation of Di/Fi's intel activities.
<><> Did Di use her access to valuable US security data improperly?
<><> Hubby Richard Blum made millions in China deals in past years. How'd he do that?
<><> Is hubby cutting new deals w/ the Chi/Coms?

You are one of FRs most valuable assets. Thank you so much for your Herculean efforts.
These old liberal bags in politics are a threat to our country’s security.
Obviously the difi Chinese spy story is not going to be covered by the MSM.
“”One Congressman (now in jail), “”
WHO?
Agree - don’t know how she does it....
“”Reid said. I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.””
Do you have any idea what he regrets? I know we all regret he ever served in the Senate but what’s his regret?
