    She took orders from the Chinese government and her election was aided by that adversarial nation, Sun was even on her campaign committee as Treasurer. That alone is more than enough grounds for these charges and is properly illegal.

        Technically, if you find a direct line of funding from Israel to AIPAC then you should come forward with that evidence because it is illegal, however it’s not nearly as big a deal when a friendly or allied nation does is as when an Adversarial Nation, which is defined in US Federal Law, does it.

      Man that’s like nothing compared to what Trump and co got up to with Russia (why he was first impeached, I watched the whole trial and holy shit so much fucked up dealings were happening) … It’s kind of wild how one dude became president - twice 🤮 - and this lady is getting prosecuted.

      That’s justice for you. /s (which I shouldn’t need because italicized can mean sarcasm but I’ll put it just for all us special types)
