As we can see, Christine Fang (Fang Fang) was quite a social butterfly, mingled with low to mid-level state politicians, and eventually found her way into California House Rep Eric Swalwell's circle.

By noon EST today, the CISA will know which US govt agencies were affected by the SolarWinds vulnerability.
CISA reporting to the DNI will allow the DNI to give Trump emergency powers as per his 2018EO.
The first domino has fallen and everything is in motion now.

CISA ISSUES EMERGENCY DIRECTIVE TO MITIGATE THE COMPROMISE OF SOLARWINDS ORION NETWORK MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS
Original release date: December 13, 2020 | Last revised: December 14, 2020
WASHINGTON – The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) tonight issued Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a known compromise involving SolarWinds Orion products that are currently being exploited by malicious actors. This Emergency Directive calls on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks for indicators of compromise and disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products immediately.
“The compromise of SolarWinds’ Orion Network Management Products poses unacceptable risks to the security of federal networks,” said CISA Acting Director Brandon Wales. “Tonight’s directive is intended to mitigate potential compromises within federal civilian networks, and we urge all our partners—in the public and private sectors—to assess their exposure to this compromise and to secure their networks against any exploitation.”
This is the fifth Emergency Directive issued by CISA under the authorities granted by Congress in the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. All agencies operating SolarWinds products should provide a completion report to CISA by 12pm Eastern Standard Time on Monday December 14, 2020.
