[Right Scoop] Senator Dianne Feinstein, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee with a top-secret clearance, had a Chinese spy working for her for twenty years in a just released report.Here’s more from CBS San Francisco:
New details emerged Wednesday about how a mole for the government of communist China managed to stay by Senator Dianne Feinstein’s side for nearly 20 years.So apparently he wasn’t a very good spy if he never got access to anything of substance.
It happened five years ago, but additional information is just surfacing about how the Bay Area senator’s office was infiltrated by a Chinese spy. On Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle uncovered additional details in a column written by reporters Phil Matier and Andy Ross.
The column revealed that the Chinese spy was Feinstein’s driver who also served as a gofer in her Bay Area office and was a liaison to the Asian-American community. He even attended Chinese consulate functions for the senator.
Feinstein ‐ who was Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time ‐ was reportedly mortified when the FBI told her she’d be infiltrated. Investigators reportedly concluded the driver hadn’t leaked anything of substance and Feinstein forced him to retire.

The FBI believes he worked for her because she was on the Senate Intelligence Committee:
