Attorney General Merrick "Judy" Garland made an announcement Monday that the DOJ is charging 13 people for allegedly spying for the Chinese in the United States. This is the first time since assuming the position of AG that Garland has done something good for the country.
Garland made the charges public at a news conference at the Justice Department and described the situation as a "significant national security" investigation. Thus far, only two of the alleged spies have been arrested while the other eleven remain at large.
The charges involve three separate criminal cases, two of which are being prosecuted in the DOJ’s Eastern District of New York and the third filed in the District of New Jersey where you are not permitted to pump gas for yourself.

One set of charges came from information obtained from a double agent. The DOJ said the person works for the FBI, but agents of the People's Republic of China believed his allegiances were with the forever smiling Xi Jinping.
The double agent met with suspected Chinese intelligence officers who allegedly sought insider information on a criminal probe into a Chinese-controlled telecommunications company.
In a different case, alleged Chinese spies are accused of harassing a Chinese-born American resident with the intent of bullying the person into returning to China. The agents even appeared at the target’s New York home and threatened him with multiple Chinese finger traps.
The home visits amounted to “harassment and attempted repatriation by force” of the victim, according to the DOJ.
Seven defendants face charges in connection to the home visits. Of these, two have pleaded not guilty and five remain at large in China, according to NBC News.
The remaining set of charges involve four Chinese nationals who allegedly tried to recruit American academics and federal law enforcement individuals to work as Chinese state spies. This is almost as bad as having a spy working as a Democratic Senator's driver, or a spy sleeping with a Democratic Congressman from California, or having the President's family tied to the CCP via their bank records.
These Chinese spy recruiters have allegedly been attempting to ensnare Americans into working for China from 2008 to 2018, according to the DOJ.
FBI Director Christopher Wray pointed to the indictments as evidence that the United States government is finally working against the potent threat of Chinese espionage.
“Beijing may think our adherence to the rule of law is a weakness, but they’re wrong,” Wray said. “We’re disrupting Chinese government criminality and aggression not just while adhering to our values, but by adhering to our values.
“Our democratic and legal processes arm us with weapons China doesn’t have — among others, real partners and allies. And our partnerships help protect the American people every day,” all Bidens aside.
