Details Surface About Dianne Feinstein And The Chinese Spy Who Worked For Her – CBS San Francisco sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/08/01/det…
Feinstein — who was Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time — was reportedly mortified when the FBI told her she’d been infiltrated.
SAN FRANCISCO—In the fall of 1989, during the Cold War’s wan and washed-out final months, the Berlin Wall was crumbling—and so was San Francisco. The powerful Loma Prieta earthquake, the most destructive to hit the region in more than 80 years, felled entire apartment buildings.
Freeway overpasses shuddered and collapsed, swallowing cars like a sandpit. Sixty-three people were killed and thousands injured. And local Soviet spies, just like many other denizens of the Bay Area, applied for their share of the nearly $3.5 billion in relief funds allocated
by President George H.W. Bush

Senator Dianne Feinstein’s staffers reported to the Chinese Ministry of State Security, China’s foreign intelligence agency.
The staffer was a spy, working for a Senator on the Select Committee on Intelligence (she was the Chair at the time) and the Defense Appropriations
Subcommittee. San Francisco’s local CBS affiliate KPIX talked to former FBI agent and security analyst Jeff Harp about the incident. Harp was running counter-espionage activities in the city, saying Chinese spies would be interested in everything from business, research,
“Think about Dianne Feinstein and what she had access to,” said Harp. “One, she had access to the Chinese community here in San Francisco; great amount of political influence. Two, correct me if I’m wrong, Dianne Feinstein still has very close ties to the intelligence committees
there in Washington, D.C.”

California Rep. Ro Khanna and Eric Swalwell's brother Joshua and father Eric are no longer friends with Chinese spy 'Christine' Fang Fang on Facebook.
Committees
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is charged with oversight of the United States intelligence community, which includes the intelligence related activities of 17 elements of the U.S. Government, and
the Military Intelligence Program.
•Chair, Intelligence Modernization and Readiness Subcommittee: This subcommittee oversees overall management of the Intelligence Community: the policies and programs focused on making sure that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies have the
workforce, infrastructure and services they need to succeed. This involves fostering greater collaboration and better use of resources across the entire Intelligence Community in personnel management, security clearance reform, information technology modernization, and other
areas.
House Committee on the Judiciary
The Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over matters relating to the administration of justice in federal courts, administrative bodies, and law enforcement agencies. 

Adam Schiff currently serves as chairman of the United States House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He is currently on leave from the House Appropriations Committee,[1] which he joined in 2007. He previously served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and the State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Subcommittee of the
Appropriations Committee. Schiff has been a prominent supporter of surveillance reforms, especially in the wake of the leaks of classified intelligence by Edward Snowden.[34] In 2007, in response to disclosure of the Terrorist Surveillance Program, Schiff and Rep. Jeff Flake
offered a successful amendment in the House of Representatives to clarify that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is the exclusive means for collecting foreign intelligence information within the United States.
Schiff was appointed to the House Select Committee on Benghazi in 2014 by Nancy Pelosi to serve as one of the five Democrats on the committee.[38] Schiff had participated in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence investigation into the attacks on the Benghazi
diplomatic compound Schiff formed the bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Caucus for the Freedom of the Press in 2006[42] aimed at advancing press freedom around the world. The Caucus proposed the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act and it was originally introduced to Congress
by Schiff and Rep. Mike Pence (R., Ind.) and by Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.) on October 1, 2009, in response to the murder of Daniel Pearl by terrorists in Pakistan.
Following the iconic interviewer’s bombshell special with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Spears’ supporters believe Winfrey, 67, is the best person to dig deep with the “Toxic” singer.
“Can’t stop thinking about how much we need an Oprah interview with Britney,” one person
tweeted. “It would absolutely change her life.”

Engineer and entrepreneur Igor Pasternak hosted a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff in 2013. Pasternak's business provided some military hardware to Ukrainian military troops who were fighting Russian forces in Donbas.

Ahmadis and destruction to Ahmadiyya property. During the extremist Islamism of Zia-ul-Haq, a more strict anti-Ahmadiyya law was passed known as Ordinance XX. Ahmadi life became more persecuted and strict.
This law does not allow Ahmadi Muslims to call themselves Muslim or
to "pose as Muslims", which are crimes punishable by three years in prison. This Ordinance and the 1974 amendment in the constitution effectively gave the state of Pakistan, the exclusive right to determine the meaning of the term "Muslim". After the formation of Pakistan on

George Bush: Dirty Secrets of Vice President – Rolling Stone

On October 5th, 1986, one of Rodriguez’s cargo planes, a Southern Air Transport C-123K, loaded with 10,000 pounds of ammunition, failed to return from a scheduled drop in Nicaragua. Fearing rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
the worst, Rodriguez made a series of phone calls to Washington that evening. What was unusual was that Rodriguez did not notify anyone at the Defense Department or the CIA but rather attempted to get word about the missing plane to Donald Gregg, the national-security adviser for
Vice President George Bush. This earlier operation, known as Black Eagle, went on for three years, overlapping North’s operation.
