I wonder how much of this goes on and has gone in Washington. Congressional aide works with the Chinese to set meeting up with those in Congress to influence their vote on legislation and the punishment is she gets fired? Shouldn't she be charged for violating the Foreign Agent Registration Act?
The Foreign Agents Registration Act is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests. It requires "foreign agents"—defined as individuals or entities engaged in domestic lobbying or advocacy for foreign governments, organizations, or persons—to register with the Department of Justice and disclose their relationship, activities, and related financial compensation
