...According to an FBI affidavit filed last week in Virginia, two days later Keyser boarded a plane to Taiwan. There, he allegedly met a 33-year-old female Taiwan intelligence agent who had flown from Washington, where she worked for Taiwan's representative office. He spent $570.01 at a Taipei Christian Dior shop, according to the affidavit, and paid a bill at the Grand Formosa Regent Taipei hotel in the amount of $333.19. Then on Sept. 6 he flew back to Japan. By his own admission, the FBI says, he didn't tell his wife of the trip...
...year following the Taiwan trip, Keyser met repeatedly with the agent from Taiwan, going to New York by train with her, picking her up after work and eating in restaurants with her and her boss. At one such meal last summer, FBI agents watched as he handed two envelopes that seemed to bear U.S. government printing to the two Taiwan officials. Keyser later left the restaurant and was seen heading to his vehicle carrying a folded manila envelope. He met again with both agents earlier this month and passed them a document.

...that time, the FBI was already deep into its investigation of AIPAC. A former U.S. official interviewed by the FBI more than a year ago told TIME that the bureau sought information on key AIPAC personnel, their meetings with White House and other national-security officials in Washington and even details about their personal lives.

Meanwhile, a former case officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency says that when he was questioned in the I.N.C. case, the FBI seemed frustrated in that investigation. That case officer, who worked alongside I.N.C. intelligence gatherers at the time of the alleged breach, says he was interrogated and polygraphed by the FBI. He contended to TIME that the allegations against the I.N.C. are baseless and that the bureau is "grasping at straws." U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement officials insist that U.S. intercepts of Iranian communications prove that secrets about U.S. code-breaking were gravely breached and that the only question...
...including Franklin, is known to have been charged in either case. In the meantime, AIPAC and its allies have launched a p.r. blitz, urging backers to bolster the group by contacting members of Congress with expressions of support. Whatever happens in the case, many in the FBI believe their ability to get to the bottom of the matter has been seriously compromised by the revelation of Franklin's name and other details leaking out about the scandal. "We may never know what really happened or how big and wide it was," says a bureau official. Using Franklin to make more...
