Horan was a twenty year expert at the FBI on Chinese spying

Another possible explanation for her demotion is that Horan knew too much about transfers of US nuclear technology to China alleged by Sam Cohen (father of the neutron bomb)to have occurred under HW Bush. Win Ho Lee's wife worked for the CIA & FBI during the years that Win Ho spoke to Peter LEE and when the neutron bomb and US nuclear weapon design legacy codes were lost or transferred to the China.

While at FBI Horan certainly would also have known about the transfer of US missile defense (SDI) tech to the Chinese at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico during HW Bush tenure as VP and President. Army intelligence tried to get the FBI to do something about CHinese aquisiton of US missile defense and AWACS JSTARS radar technology and the FBI refused under HWBush.

GW Bush has reportedly revealed some operational details of the new US missile defense system to China and Horan would know about those revelations as well.

The thing that still baffles me when I try to apply ANY type of Rationalle to those moves is --- Why Was It Done?

Could ANY of the participants in those allowed transfers actually believe the Chinese would NOT use it against us?

All that may or may not be as to her knowledge. She appears to also possibly to be a ChiCom appeaser. But to expect a generally Bush favorable audience to turn on Bush the morning after he gives a patriotic-appealing SOTU speech, I think you will find little resonance, as worthy as probing further may be.

It looks like a reormation is occurring in the FBI -
what officials said was an unusually swift decision
may at least be done to appear that the Chicoms are not running the Fed govt intelligence agencies. We'll see.

But is Ms. just a visible target, low hanging fruit, or is she actually very helpful to doing the job?
