The only way to get the Executive to do something about the espionage debacle going on was to take it public.

If they had kept Lee under surveillance until (assuming the charges are correct) they knew who he was passing secrets to, and kept that person under surveillance until they had established a full network, and then arrested and prosecuted all involved, they could legitimately get up and talk about an intelligence debacle. As it is, all we have is one scientist of Chinese ancestry and a technical breach of security.

The notion that further evidence cannot be released for fear of compromising ongoing investigation is ridiculous; if Lee was an intelligence agent the Chinese would have assumed all his contacts compromised the moment we moved on Lee, and moved to control the damage a long time ago.

Classic case of pulling the trigger too soon. An intelligence debacle in its own right, and all for a momentary political advantage.
