[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A former top aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul enjoyed a life of luxury because she was an undeclared agent for China, federal prosecutors have claimed.
Linda Sun, 41, is accused of acting as an unregistered operative for the Chinese Communist Party and using her position to influence Hochul and ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo into actions favorable to Beijing.
Sun earned a government salary of $145,000, but was also receiving millions of dollars from side deals arranged by Chinese officials, prosecutors told her trial Monday.
She and her husband Chris Hu used cash to purchase a $3.6 million mansion in Long Island, $1.9 million condo in Hawaii and a 2024 Ferrari Roma, which sells for at least $243,300, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Sun allegedly indulged in Nanjing-style salted duck dinners prepared by the Chinese consulate chef and was regularly acquainted with Communist Party insiders.
She made frequent visits back to China and even celebrated the Communist Party's 70th year in power at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the court heard.
Prosecutors allege Sun received funds from China, which were then siphoned through Hu's businesses. The couple are also accused of generating $2.3 million in kickbacks on personal-protection equipment imports during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sun is charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, visa fraud, bank fraud and money laundering. She denies all wrongdoing.

I remain unterrified by this claim. Unterrified and even unsurprised. Not sure why the FARA prosecution is the best that can be done here. Must be the best way not to dirty up Hochul in the process.

You may not be surprised but you can bet your butt that Hochul will claim that she is. And that's the part that may not be terrifying but is certainly a matter of great concern. Here we have a prominent member of a major political party who has allowed herself to be influenced by the CCP. Is she an outlier or is this the tip of a huge iceberg that has been carefully engineered to sink our country? Dianne Feinstein and her so-called driver come to mind and then there was Eric Swalwell with his CCP girlfriend Fang Fang. When you think about the way Democrats behave, it's easy to believe that this is an iceberg.

[JustTheNews] Subsidies were greatly expanded by the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic as an emergency measure, but Democrats have fought to keep them permanent. Those subsidies went mostly to Democratic donors.

Add the illegals and see what happens. Schumer's Scheme wasn't about noble deeds but blowing up the system while giving cover to insurance companies to deny more and more claims. Friends of Luigi, indeed, creators of the problem is more like it.
…after The Arizona Republic detailed how state contractor Sunshine Residential Homes bribed Gov. Katie Hobbs and AZ Democrats with $400,000 and in returns got millions more in state money.

Hobbs is dumb, corrupt, unlikeable and incompetent. That puts her in the very small subset of Dem politicians that will possibly be held accountable. It’s not a probability, but it’s possible. For instance, if Katie has taken the bribe in check format and deposited it directly into her own bank account, nobody will really be amazed. She is paste eater level stupid.

[Off The Press] Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have produced to Congress a new cache of documents showing how Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation collected donations from foreign and domestic interests seeking influence — raising fresh concerns that such evidence was kept from federal prosecutors who tried to investigate pay-to-play allegations against the former first family a decade ago.
Officials told Just the News that the documents were transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee in recent days and detail numerous instances of foreigners and even a U.S. defense contractor seeking to curry favor with the Clintons through donations to their family charity, including when Hillary Clinton served as secretary of State. Bill Clinton was a U.S. president from 1993 to 2001.
The officials said some of the evidence was flagged by whistleblowers who claimed such evidence was kept from a corruption investigation that was being conducted in 2015 by the Little Rock, Ark., U.S. attorney’s office before it was shut down by the Obama administration’s Justice Department.
The documents will make clear that there was an effort "to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the Foundation by blocking real investigation by line-level FBI agents and DOJ field prosecutors and keeping them from following the money," said one official directly familiar with the documents.
Officials said they have been gathering the evidence for weeks and have dubbed the documents the "Clinton corruption files."
