What We Are Focused On

For John, BLUF:  The Chinese Government is committing crimes in the US, but our Government is focused on proving its own Citizens traitors.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

DOJ Drops Charges Against 5 Possible Chinese Spies as FBI Focuses on January 6

Here is the sub-headline:

FBI Drops the Ball, DOJ Drops the Charges

From PJ Media, by Mr Kevin Downey, Jr, 26 July 2021, 3:37 PM ET.

Here is the lede plus three:

Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has dropped charges against five Chinese scientists spies who hid their involvement with the Chinese military in order to obtain work visas at American universities.

Prosecutors stated they would no longer pursue visa fraud and various other charges against the five scientists, who were looking to work at universities in California and Indiana.

FACT-O-RAMA! There are typically half a million Chinese students in the U.S. every year.

Judges have dismissed parts of the cases against two Chinese researchers after the FBI (shockingly?) failed to inform the suspects of their Miranda rights against self-incrimination.  Miranda rights are the rights every American with a TV has heard a thousand times:  the rights to remain silent or have your words used against you, and to have an attorney.

Yesterday was the Birthday of the FBI, back in 1909.

Yes, there was some bungling, but the FBI is laser focused on the Lego Insurrection.

Yesterday my Middle Brother sent me a link from The Old Gray Lady that started out:

Bret Stephens:  Hi, Gail [Collins]. I don’t think there’s much doubt among reasonably sane people about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6.  Do we really need a House committee to investigate it?

I think the Commentariat has a view as to what happened and thinks that view is widely shared.  They could be wrong.  And, I don't expect the FBI, or the House investigation of the Lego Insurrection to do anything but obscure the mostly peaceful demonstrations that day and the killing of Ms Ashli Babbit.

As they used to say in the Soviet Union, "The future is known; it’s the past which is always changing.”

I added a label, a tag, for President Donald J Trump, because even six months after he left office it is all about him.  You don't wish it to be about President Biden, do you?
