if the FBI discovered that a staffer for Nunes,

who had worked for him for 20 years, had been spying for Russia.

And all Nunes did was quietly fire him and then keep it under wraps.

Now, this is Dianne Feinstein, a US Senator from California.

Turns out, one of her long-time staffers was allegedly a spy—

“The Chinese spy was Feinstein's driver for 20 years,

who also served as a gofer in her Bay Area office,

and who was a liaison to the Asian American community.

He even attended Chinese consulate functions for the Senator.”

the FBI came to Feinstein with this information,

A possible Chinese spy was close to a US senator

while she sat on a sensitive intelligence committee,

“You know anybody who sits on the House Intelligence Committee,

they all have a top secret security clearance and even higher,

and those people are all prime targets of opportunity.”

Now I'm not saying Dianne Feinstein is a spy

But I am saying, records show Feinstein had
