Ex-NPYD Michael McMahon was convicted of being a Chinese agent. He says Chris Wray’s FBI took an innocent scalp to show they are tough on Xi Jinping.
how New York’s most storied private eye, Bo Dietl, sold half his security and investigations company to a Chinese company run by a man sources say is a Communist intelligence agent.
It seemed like a routine job for a licensed private investigator who had been one of the NYPD’s most distinguished officers until his retirement in 2003 in the wake of an injury caused by a violent pursuit. “The Chinese job was typical of the surveillance work I had done in the past. There was nothing out of the ordinary.”
McMahon was so sure that the agents had made a mistake with him that he agreed to be questioned without a lawyer present. “I voluntarily spoke to them because I wanted to help the government and I didn’t think I would need a lawyer,” he said. Two weeks after he was arrested, the FBI, under FBI Director Christopher Wray, ordered urgent, nationwide action against Operation Fox Hunt.
Former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the China Initiative in 2018 to combat spying and theft by Chinese spies in the US. After the plan’s failure, the DOJ focused on Operation Fox Hunt“I don’t know how anyone could come to the conclusion that McMahon was knowingly working on behalf of the Chinese government,” Eftimiades told The Post.
