Don't think that is a crime. Must be here for color. From the complaint, one of those emails.

Chen detained by customs in Jan 20 on return from China.
Asked what he's doing in China. Says "collaboration." What kind? "A collaboration is a collaboration."
Name drops MIT. Director position.
No dice, all devices seized.
As an MIT employee, I also have to fill out this same exact form every year
Chen allegedly failed to mention his foreign $$ and appointments.
The strong sense from this charging document is that collaborating with China *is* espionage, in the view of DOJ.

This is also the Rochester Police - dreadful mishandling of an altered mental status call - which led to their current crisis team, which was unavailable (and they didn't wait for in a low threat situation as they could have) for this 9 y/o!

In both cases there is a failure to use good judgement, make a valid threat assessment, to match in force to situation, failure to choose to wait for safer and appropriate staff/conditions and to use their time wisely. They also treat 'perp' as more object than human.

By the way... Rochester is near Buffalo - where this happened...

Without jumping to conclusions, this is a strange coincident. Is someone trying to kill two birds with one stone?
If you don't get caught up in the noise of the media, you'll notice a few more things. The far-right Oath Keepers has been patrolling major cities with heavy weapons for weeks. They were present in numbers at the Capitol, but without weapons.

You find photos of the arrested vandals but strangely enough not of the one 70-year-old who allegedly had a truck full of weapons. And at least I couldn't find an image of that truck. But the old man was apparently very talkative to the police.
The most questionable aspect, however, is the FBI's search for a person who was apparently caught on a surveillance camera the previous night.
At that time, it was possible to predict a mass gathering, but not the riot.
If you want to know what really went on with last week's DC Protests, look at the role of the FBI and federal informants involved in the event.

This is fundamental, especially regarding the visible presence of masked provocateurs
Watch as more information emerges.
