Collusion by Feinstein?
https://nypost.com/2018/08/08/dianne-fei...hinas-spy/
Feinstein's actions aren't necessarily criminal, but they sure stink.
"...After a Justice Department task force investigated widespread illegal fundraising during the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign, Feinstein returned more than $12,000 in contributions from donors associated with Huang, who was later convicted of campaign-finance fraud along with other Beijing bagmen. The DNC and the Clinton campaign had to return millions in ill-gotten cash.
Still, Beijing got its favored trade status extended — thanks in part to Feinstein. In speeches on the Senate floor and newspaper op-eds, she shamelessly spun China’s human-rights violations, as when in 1997 she compared Beijing’s 1989 massacre of hundreds of young demonstrators to the 1970 Kent State shootings, calling for the presidents of China and America to appoint a human-rights commission “charting the evolution of human rights in both countries over the last 20 to 30 years,” that “would point out the successes and failures — both Tiananmen Square and Kent State — and make recommendations for goals for the future.”
Feinstein also led efforts to bring China into the World Trade Organization in 1999, which gave Beijing permanent normal trade relations status and removed the annual congressional review of its human-rights and weapons-proliferation records...."

RE: Collusion by Feinstein?
"...Starting in 1996, as China was aggressively currying favor with his wife, Blum was able to take large stakes in Chinese state-run steel and food companies, and has brokered over $100 million in deals in China since then — with the help of partners who sit on the boards of Chinese military front companies like COSCO and CITIC.
China investments have helped make Feinstein, who lives in a $17 million mansion in San Francisco and keeps a $5 million vacation home in Hawaii, one of the richest members in Congress.
Feinstein has insinuated that Trump is compromised by a foreign power. But it’s clear Feinstein has an alarming blind spot when it comes to China and national security."

Why is it that every time we look hard at Feinstein, there's a chinese national in the mix? Let me guess, Feinstein is also against Trumps tough trade rhetoric with China too?

RE: Collusion by Feinstein?
Feinstein is running for re-election. Having come in first place in California's non-partisan primary, she will face the primary runner-up on the November ballot. That candidate is also a Democrat, who is very much in the mold of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
What limited polling I’ve seen shows Feinstein ahead by 25+ points. It’s hard to see how she could lose. But at age 85, and clearly losing the strength/stamina a job like US Senator requires, it may be an unexpected issue like this that turns the race upside down.
