Plan One - demand that the CIA release all kinds of highly classified documents to support his case.
It would take ten years of appeals just to start the first trial.
Demand home confinement and an ankle monitor while all the appeals go through the courts.
Whoda’ thunk a Chinaman would spy for China?
Oh, is this where Feinstein’s chauffeur went to after it was finally revealed that he worked with the CCP for decades whilst driving that old bag around?
Only fair to give him the same sentence a Chinese court would issue in a reversal of roles. 7.62 mm shot to the back of his head in front of a ditch.
