Kudos to the journalists who have reported that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., was compromised for more than a decade by a staffer with connections to Chinese spying. Kudos also to the reporters who’ve noticed the senator’s long history of lobbying on behalf of China’s interests.

Why this story hasn’t gotten wall-to-wall coverage is anyone’s guess.
