Interesting that Mary McChord started it... she was in charge of the investigation of the State Dept’s Candice Claiborne who was spying for China... I wonder if she took charge of that in order to control the scope and depth of the investigation...
APRIL - MAY 2012 : (SOMETIME IN THIS PERIOD STATE DEPT EMPLOYEE CANDICE CLAIBORNE PROVIDES HER CHINESE HANDLER WITH INFORMATION ON CHINESE DISSIDENT CHEN GUANGCHENG, WHO WAS SECRETLY STAYING AT THE US EMBASSY IN BEIJING ) - http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/state-department-employee-accused-of-aiding-chinese-spies.html
