  1. Empty, and your others are mentally murderers types who are serial killers. From, serial killing… I bet you snatched all them up from guantanamo bay, bet that's where you train them from.

  2. Oh..so they werent your chinese spies…we see what you did there.

  3. These spies are very good at escaping. Be careful with them.

  4. A small window still exist to charge Trump. If the DOJ waits until he announces he runs for 2024, they will not prosecute, On purpose?

  5. Hey garland why can’t you do something about ingrown traitors?

  6. GUESS EVEN A BLIND SQUIRREL STUMBLE'S INTO A NUT ONCE AND A WHILE, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Trying to build a narrative that the reason they lost in the Mid-terms is because of foreign election interference. Good Luck with that!

  8. China is a enemy. And its been foolish of the mainstream news too defend them blindly for so many years while they actually carry out acts of genocide and the infiltration of US agencies and institutions, it goes beyond the US they are all over the world spying on other nations.

  9. So when are these clowns going to see the inherent security and privacy threat posed by TikTok?

  10. Anyone who thinks China is anything but a motivated, avaricious enemy against the United States, think again.

    We are at war. End of.

  11. Aside from the cost, it's almost irrelevant who we fight with.
    It's much more telling who we prefer to cooperate with !
    The faith attitude of potential partners is essential!

  12. Didn't Donald Trump do all that and more yesterday? ARREST DONALD DRUMPF!!!! We have an ex-president commiting felonies daily and not a charge. Something happens with the Chinese ( probably DJT) and they want to search the planet.

  13. I would say half of student visa chinese kids are obvious Chinese agents. You see them at colleges all the time.

  14. What good timing, get ahead of the shady voting before it happens again

  15. GARLAND HAS TO HIDE THESE SPIES FAST, THEY WERE GOING TO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON THE ELECTION MACHINE FRAUD. WRAY YOUR COHORT GUY RAY EPPS NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED LIKE THE OTHER JAN 6TH PROTESTERS. THIS JOBAMA CORRUPT DOJ NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED DOWN PELOSI'S $1.7 MILLION SAN FRAN TOILET.

  16. This is a joke right? We are supposed to be impressed that he is making a big show about corporate espionage for his bosses, while the ex president sells national security secrets and he sits on his thumbs and its used as a campaign tool. Our country and media are so f'd

  17. Good to see the focus on real spys vs American citizens

  18. Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands everywhere.

  19. I think somehow, Trump's name is going to pop up within this investigation.

  20. China has a police department here in the United States 😳

  21. Smoke screen!!!! Credibility 0 !

  22. Am I the only one that thinks there's something fishy going on with this? I wouldn't be surprised if they were just normal Chinese ppl that the FBI was tryna recruit & wouldn't go along with it so they hit them with that espionage charge(allegedly).

  23. China Spies and other Spies are everywhere 👎🥺😒👎

  24. If this is like the rest of crime. Imagine the ones we DON'T catch.

  25. Should be 13000. But garland and the demorats are themselves corrupt.

  26. to warrant such a response from the ADL's SWAT team (aka the FBI), these 13 dog eaters must've really upset America's kosher overlords 😱

  27. No no no Donald Trump and family and friends

  28. What about Soros, Gates the Clintons with Epstein or the Bidden scandals plural

  29. Chinese agents jail them all.No Mercy.
