>He fucked a communist spy and he admitted he did it.

The communist spy is the invented reason. There has been zero evidence presented that Alice Huang is a spy for the CCP[1], and if they did have evidence it would have been more appropriate to charge Jenson last year when the Trump administration was made aware of the relationship.

Everything about Alice being a honeypot has largely been hearsay.

To me, it's far more likely that someone in the state department did not like that Jenson was circumventing export controls and manufactured this to bury him.
