A Southern California mayor has agreed to plead guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government, and has resigned from her city position, officials said Monday.

So was she acting as a Chinese agent in her role as mayor, or just as the operator of a website posting PRC propaganda?
Charges are for actions before her term as Mayor.
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.
Foreign agents, former or current, are barred from office by US Laws. Sun got 4 years, Wang is looking at 10.
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)
Yeah, Trump should die in prison, no arguments there.
As long as those foreign agents aren’t from Israel or rich.
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.
