I’d be shocked if this isn’t another professor that’s been caught working with China.

Doesn’t look good within the context of everything else going on right now.
China, for sure, has spies,... who doesn't. But the overwhelming majority of these cases tend to be non factual. Causes like fearmongering, departmental rivalries, someone wanted a medal, gathering prisoners for exchange, setting example, etc... are usually what is behind this. If I were a Chinese researcher, no matter the area of expertise, I would leave the US... and this is not Trump! This is the current US policy that all sides subscribe to.

Incorrect. If they weren’t doing anything wrong, they wouldn’t be hiding supplemental income from and agreements with Chinese sources.
I don’t even oppose partnerships with China. I’m fairly pro-China. But it needs to be done out in the open, with proper procedure followed.

The press remained almost unanimously silent on the Assange persecution, the abductions & assassination of journalists by US allies, and the slaughter of journalists by Israel.
The press itself played a pivotal role in eliminating the free press.
True, there was not a whole lot of mainstream media coverage of assange but there were journalists from places like the intercept and I believe rolling stone or vice also covering it.
In this case, and many cases all over the country lately, I'm finding that tiny local news outlets are doing a better job keeping us informed than mainstream media or even larger less mainstream news outlets.
Also realized that if this was a case of spying it would seem very unlikely he would have a lawyer at his residence while it was being raided but who tf knows. Not us.

The Intercept revealed Reality Winner as their source to the government, and helped bury the Hunter Biden laptop story. Fuck the Intercept.

You really don't know how researches work... they get to be in multiple projects globally, specially when in a university... that us why of their name. Besides, the US is highly sensitive with confidential information and for the most ridiculous things you need "security clearance" that he will never get even the most basic one. Today, most on the spying in not done presentially within the target country, let alone with such a prominent position.

Yeah fuck the intercept, not really the point.
My point is that while big news networks are fucking around it's the locals news and individuals who are getting fucked over the most by this bullshit who are actually trying to make sure this shit doesn't get buried

Not really. Sinclair broadcasting bought up most of them. Unfortunately all of the best investigative reporting is being relegated to bloggers and independent journalists.

Are you sure that you know how it works? They are legally required to disclose those relationships and payments received.

No much. He would have to declare if conflict of interest or to IRS. But strong feeling that is not the case. Again, if evidence was there, the FBI and even Trump would be all over with the evidence. This guy, probably had no even Confidential Security Clearance (lowest one). The only think I can think of is industrial espionage but those are brought by the injured party and goes to a normal judicial channel... nothing indicates that here... he won't go through a normal hearing, you will see.

Yep fuck Sinclair broadcasting too, but as you can see, the only news covering this is from local Indiana news reporting.

That’s been exactly the case with multiple researchers and professors for the past decade.
-
Yeah, if only we had a free press that could keep the public informed about matters so we could know what the fuck is actually going on anymore.
It's especially weird the university just didn't release a statement about it or anything.
Journalists are trying to cover it, but the FBI isn’t talking and issued a gag order to IU not to discuss it either.
