The legislators “totally disagree” with the federal sentence of 18 months delivered to a private eye for spying on behalf of China, which is much stronger than that hand to a real spy.
The former New York Police officer, Michael McMahon, decorated, 57, was convicted in 2023 and sentenced on Wednesday. However, he caresses that he had no idea that it was a leg working on what the communist Chinese government.
McMahon was convicted of stalking a New Jersey couple along with two coacked, who had a leg by pressing their brand, a Chinese expatriate, to return to their homeland, part of a country’s government campaign against the criminals of the criminals “criminals” that the criminals hunt.
But Republican legislators say McMahon is being scape for the Department of Justice.
“I disagree with the sentence and I believe that the charges presented by the Department of Justice against Mr. McMahon were wrong from the beginning,” Republican Republican Republican on a statement on Thursday said on Thursday.
“I will continue to support efforts to combat this spontaneous abortion of justice.”
Lawler joins the republican congressman Pete Sessions (R. Texas) to stand firm with McMahon, who always said he was hired because the man he was looking for, Xu Jin, oed Money to a construction company.
McMahon’s judgment is a rescuer that the one that was delivered to Ming Xi Zhang, an owner of a New Jersey restaurant known as “Sushi John” who admitted to having worked as a spy for China.
Zhang was convicted of spying on China in April 2024, delivered three years of probation and left the court that day.

However, Zhang was arrested by agents of application of immigration and customs last month and is detained at the Elizabeth detention center, according to the reports. The federal case against him is sealed.
McMahon plans to appeal.
“An innocent man, an American hero who sacrificed his entire life to serve others, was a sentence at 18 months for doing a private investigator,” said Martha Byrne, McMahon’s wife, a winning actor of the Emmy who shuddered.
“The Department of Justice chose to align with the CP [Communist Party of China] About US citizens and protect the national security of this country. This case needs a complete audit and research to provide full transparency of the FBI’s tactics and manipulations, who failed once again to follow the potential clients that would have protected this country, “he said.
McMahon, a former New York Police detective highly decorated, told La Court on Wednesday, “I never thought for a minute that I was working for China stalking anyone. This is a nightmare.”
