Federal prosecutors charge Chinese cancer researcher with lying about her ties to the Chinese military and Communist Party when seeking a visa to come to the US. FBI believes she is evading arrest by staying at China's consulate in San Francisco.

Prosecutors allege that Tang — who was issued a visa in November and arrived at San Francisco’s international airport on Dec. 27 — answered “no” when asked if she had ever served in the military or been a member of the Communist Party. The affidavit presents evidence that Tang is in fact a member of China’s ruling Communist Party and a member of the military.

Maybe she’s just having lunch with Diane Feinstein and her “driver”

Wait, lying is a crime in the US now? Have I got a list for you!

With what has happened in Houston perhaps we need to visit all the Chinese in consulates in this country.

FEDs can charge anybody with anything. Thats why you never talk to them without a good lawyer. The intent here is to also close the China’s consulate in San Francisco.

It’s fun watching the Progressives suck China’s weiner in the face of their genocide against the Uighurs, the brutal takedown of the Hong Kong freedom movement and everything they do to destroy America. I wouldn’t expect any less from Biden voters.💁🏼‍♂️

Boy, NBC sure does their best to paint a communist infiltrator with a rosy glow.

Honoré says about federal troops in Portland, Oregon. 'They're wearing these uniforms as a function of intimidation.' If these aren't real officers and their uniforms are bogas who is paying them to do this. These are peaceful protests they are attacking. I think the WH just want all the protests too stop. I just realized what Trump is doing is unconstitutional. I mean, it’s not like he cares. LTG Honore is absolutely correct on this issue. The administration needs to listen to him now! These people in Portland, whomever they are need to stand down.
