IMHO, this has nothing to do with the current WH occupant. This is how the Chinese roll, and they would be doing this regardless of who was the current POTUS.

Probably so. But, IMO there sure is a whole lot of "rollin'" goin' on.

ETA: From the article..."This [White House Communications Agency] guy opened an email he wasn't supposed to open," the source said.

There is no truth to the rumor that the offending email was from a wealthy Nigerian family looking to donate to a certain re-election campaign.
