The FBI has successfully smoked out two agents of the Chinese Communist Party,

who were acting on American soil, attempting to bribe and manipulate the IRS into doing China's bidding.

After they were caught trying to bribe a U.S. official, the two men, they were arrested,

and they wound up pleading guilty, and just three weeks ago they were sentenced, one of them

to 16 months and the other to 20 months behind bars. And the story of who these men were, how they

got recruited, the plan that they were enacting, the specific policy of China's that they were

pushing forward here in America, as well as how the FBI was ultimately able to sniff them out

and capture them is

all fascinating to say the least. And it gives us a bit of a glimpse into what the FBI can do

when defending this country against foreign agents, as well as the kind of lengths that the Chinese

communists will go to to silence dissent of any kind. And so let's go through the entirety of the story together.

To start with, on May 26th of 2023, the Department of Justice released an official statement

saying that they have arrested and filed charges against two men. You had Mr. John Chen,

a 70-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who was originally from China, as well as Mr. Lin-Fung, a 43-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, who was originally from China, as well as Mr. Lin-Fung,

a 43-year-old Chinese citizen.

And according to the indictment paperwork that you can see up on your screen, these two men were

charged in connection to a bribery scheme that they were enacting right here on U.S. soil

at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party. And their crimes included the following, acting as an agent of a foreign government without

notifying the Attorney General, bribing a public official, as well as conspiracy to commit

international money laundering.

Essentially, these two men were acting as Chinese communist agents here on U.S. soil in order to advance

the CCP's persecution campaign against Falun Gong practitioners.
