Despite the best efforts of congressional Democrats, the far-left, and their loyal boosters in the legacy media, the Trump administration keeps racking up wins. On Monday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took to his official X account to highlight a string of major arrests — and these weren’t small-time cases.
Here are some specific cases:
Kevin Luke, a retired Army Colonel, pleaded guilty to unauthorized communication of national defense information and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. In 2024, he met a woman online and sent her photographs of classified information detailing a future U.S. military operation. It doesn’t matter who you think you’re talking to, classified MEANS classified, and the FBI will hold anyone accountable who waivers in safeguarding our national defense information. Thank you @FBITampa, and @RealAFOSI.
An Army colonel should know better than to hand classified information to anyone — but giving it to “a woman he met online” is a whole new tier of reckless. With this guilty plea, he’s effectively admitted to betraying both his oath and his country. It’s the kind of disgraceful lapse in judgment that reminds us how deeply accountability is needed, even — and especially — at the highest ranks.
This next one is pretty chilling:
Yunqing Jian, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, pleaded guilty to charges of smuggling a DANGEROUS biological pathogen into our country and then lying about it to FBI agents, and was DEPORTED. The FBI will not stand by and allow our foreign adversaries to exploit our top-notch university facilities in furtherance of their agendas. Thank you @FBIDetroit , and @CBPNorthAmerica.
For the record, I don’t agree with President Trump wanting to bring something like 600,000 Chinese students into the U.S., for this reason and about 599,999 others.
By the way, it’s unclear what the pathogen was, but this isn’t the first time a Chinese national has been caught attempting to bring undeclared biological materials into the United States. Whether it was an innocent “mistake” or something more like a test run is exactly the kind of question that demands scrutiny — especially given the pattern.
Speaking of China:
Chenguang Gong, a dual citizen of the U.S. and China, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for stealing highly sensitive trade secrets from a Los Angeles-area R&D company where he worked. This included THOUSANDS of files and blueprints for cutting edge technologies that were developed for use by the USG to detect nuclear missile launches, track ballistic and hypersonic missiles, and allow U.S. fighter planes to evade heat-seeking missiles. Let this serve as a warning that anyone who tries to undermine U.S. national security will face severe penalty.
Again, why, exactly, are any Chinese nationals in our country? Good on the FBI to find this jerk, but how many thousands more are there?
Then there is this last one mentioned by Bongino:
The FBI was proud to collaborate with one of our most trusted partners to combat the significant threat posed by Russian state-linked actors bribing politicians to advance Russian interests. We assisted the London Metropolitan Police in bringing down Nathan Gill, who was sentenced 10.5 years of prison for taking bribes to make pro-Russia statements as a Member of the European Parliament. In 2021, the FBI seized the phone of an accomplice in the U.S. and was able to share data from the phone with the UK as evidence in the case. The FBI is dedicated to protecting the integrity of democratic systems and institutions, both here and abroad.
Well, look at that — actual Russian collusion.
These are solid arrests, no doubt about it. And let’s be honest: the pace of these kinds of busts and convictions has noticeably ramped up. It’s a never-ending job, but it sure seems like we’ve been seeing a whole lot more of this since, oh, about January 2025.
