DOJ hunt for Chinese spies wrongly ensnares American citizens

[ElNono]

Second case in the last 3 months or so where the DOJ ruined the reputation of a couple of American citizens, then withdrew the charges.

Latest case:
U.S. Drops Charges That Professor Shared Technology With China (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/12/us/politics/us-drops-charges-that-professor-shared-technology-with-china.html)

Previous case in May:
Accused of Spying for China, Until She Wasn’t (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/10/business/accused-of-spying-for-china-until-she-wasnt.html)

Pretty fucking embarrassing they don't even know what the alleged evidence is before bringing up a case.

Pathetic. Dude needs to be set up for life now plus his job and position should be restored. Hope these knuckleheads don't have anything to do with nuclear inspections.

FBI agent makes shit up about a welding professor.

Sad to say, Biden teases the Yellow Peril nonsense too.


An FBI agent admitted in an ongoing trial to falsely accusing a Chinese-born Tennessee professor of being a Chinese spy, using baseless information to have him placed on the federal no-fly list and spying on him and his son for two years, the Knoxville News Sentinel (https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2021/06/14/federal-agents-falsely-accused-university-of-tennessee-professor-spying-china/7649378002/) reported.


The newspaper said FBI agent Kujtim Sadiku admitted last week to falsely accusing former University of Tennessee, Knoxville, professor Anming Hu of being a spy.


Sadiku also admitted to using the false information to pressure Hu to become a spy for the U.S., the Sentinel reported. No evidence was ever discovered that suggested Hu, an internationally recognized welding technology expert, is a spy.



Sadiku admitted to telling university officials that Hu was a Chinese military operative, despite having no evidence to back up that claim. He never followed up with the officials to clarify that his statements were false, the newspaper noted.https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/558345-federal-agents-admit-to-falsely-accusing-chinese-professor-of-being
