New details have emerged about Senator Diane Feinstein and how her Bay area office was infiltrated by a Chinese Spy for 20 years.

According to CBS San Francisco:

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.

…

Now, all eyes are on Chinese intelligence in the Bay Area after the website Politico reported last week that a staffer for Senator Feinstein turned out to be a Chinese spy who reported back to the government officials about local politics.

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.

Feinstein’s office issued a clarification that the spy never had a security clearance, but it seems like he had a close relationship with the Senator. In those 20 years would it have been possible for the Senator from California, who was head of the Senate Intelligence Committee to slip up?
