It depends on what your definition of the word "spy" is.

If your the President and you sell your country's secrets to the ChiComs for campaign contributions is it still spying?
 

John Huang was made a Commerce Department deputy assistant secretary. Bill Clinton had, you may remember, made Commerce the repository for US cryptology. Sometimes two or three times a week, John Huang crossed the
street from his Commerce Department office to make calls and pick up faxes
at an investment firm with ties to his former Indonesian employer Mochtar Riady, who had close ties to Red China.

That sounds like spy stuff to everyone -- except the Clintons.

BTW, I see now that this current White House guy was hired by Al Gore ...
