According to court documents, in August 2012, Lee and his family left Hong Kong to return to the United States to live in northern Virginia. While traveling back to the United States, Lee and his family had hotel stays in Hawaii and Virginia. During each of the hotel stays, FBI agents conducted court-authorized searches of Lee’s room and luggage, and found that Lee was in unauthorized possession of materials relating to the national defense. Specifically, agents found two small books containing handwritten notes that contained classified information, including but not limited to, true names and phone numbers of assets and covert CIA employees, operational notes from asset meetings, operational meeting locations and locations of covert facilities.

Guy should have just said he didn't intentionally retain it. Problem solved.

I would be willing to bet that he knows or has some connections to Hilldog or the Clinton Foundation

The Comey Doctrine just invalidates so much of Federal criminal law, it's laughable.d
Of course I didn't intend to, officers. I'm just incompetent - dangerously so. So, elect me President, pretty please? It's my turn.

umm 2012 was still obama so this right in the middle of the largest criminal enterprise being conducted by a sitting administration. they were suspicious of him for some reason so im guessing he wasnt playing ball with their illegal activities so the guy may have been a whistle blower or really a bad guy.
pardon me for being skeptical of anything that happens under obamas administration so i will have to wait for more info on what info he had before i decide if the guy was up to no good or not

WASHINGTON — The Chinese government systematically dismantled C.I.A. spying operations in the country starting in 2010, killing or imprisoning more than a dozen sources over two years and crippling intelligence gathering there for years afterward.
Current and former American officials described the intelligence breach as one of the worst in decades. It set off a scramble in Washington’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies to contain the fallout, but investigators were bitterly divided over the cause. Some were convinced that a mole within the C.I.A. had betrayed the United States. Others believed that the Chinese had hacked the covert system the C.I.A. used to communicate with its foreign sources. Years later, that debate remains unresolved.
But there was no disagreement about the damage. From the final weeks of 2010 through the end of 2012, according to former American officials, the Chinese killed at least a dozen of the C.I.A.’s sources. According to three of the officials, one was shot in front of his colleagues in the courtyard of a government building — a message to others who might have been working for the C.I.A.
Still others were put in jail. All told, the Chinese killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 of the C.I.A.’s sources in China, according to two former senior American officials, effectively unraveling a network that had taken years to build.
quote:
The mole hunt eventually zeroed in on a former agency operative who had worked in the C.I.A.’s division overseeing China, believing he was most likely responsible for the crippling disclosures. But efforts to gather enough evidence to arrest him failed, and he is now living in another Asian country, current and former officials said.
quote:
Still, the Chinese picked off more and more of the agency’s spies, continuing through 2011 and into 2012. As investigators narrowed the list of suspects with access to the information, they started focusing on a Chinese-American who had left the C.I.A. shortly before the intelligence losses began. Some investigators believed he had become disgruntled and had begun spying for China. One official said the man had access to the identities of C.I.A. informants and fit all the indicators on a matrix used to identify espionage threats.
After leaving the C.I.A., the man decided to remain in Asia with his family and pursue a business opportunity, which some officials suspect that Chinese intelligence agents had arranged.
Officials said the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. lured the man back to the United States around 2012 with a ruse about a possible contract with the agency, an arrangement common among former officers. Agents questioned the man, asking why he had decided to stay in Asia, concerned that he possessed a number of secrets that would be valuable to the Chinese. It’s not clear whether agents confronted the man about whether he had spied for China.

This is bad.

A former CIA officer who was charged Tuesday with unlawful possession of secrets is suspected of a much worse crime: betraying U.S. informants in China, sources familiar with the case told NBC News.
The former officer, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 53, was arrested Monday after flying into New York from his home in Hong King, federal authorities announced.
Lee, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, was charged with a single count of unlawfully possessing national defense information, based on a 2012 search that found him to be in possession of two notebooks containing the true names of CIA assets and covert facilities, which are some of the agency's most closely guarded secrets.
But sources familiar with the case say he is suspected of funneling information to China that caused the deaths or imprisonment of approximately 20 American agents, in one of the worst intelligence breaches in decades.

If true, he needs to join the Rosenbergs in infamy.

Won't cut it with the Law. Gross Negligence has nothing to do with intent. Unless you've got Comey as the State Prosecutor and you're a Lib. Severity of Sentence might.

I would like to know what the frick has been going on for the past 5+ years.

This guy going to jail.
Unless he's a Democrat. No intent.

Not on that charge.

Arent we pretty sure the toilet server got assets in Iran executed?

Too many frickers in government have security clearances. I wonder how many CIA agents were killed in China because of this guy? (He was obviously working for the Chinese).
Moreover, no one born overseas should ever have access to classified material. I know some clearances require that you and your family be born in the U.S. Perhaps all of them should have this requirement.

Sec. of State (Clinton Adm.) Maddy Albright believes that the US being the sole super power is not a good thing. That is how the Chicoms got the plans and built our most advanced jet fighters. And they probably did it for half price. So that left money to donate to the Clinton Campaign (which they did).
Muh Russians.

This guy right here is responsible for at least a dozen american spies being outed to the Chinese and possibly the Russians as well. He tipped them off. They were either killed or imprisoned.
Piece of shite. Throw him under the prison.
