Sounds like treason to me.
Yup.
The decision on defense tech should come from the DOD, not the State Dept. What Bill Clinton did was transfer authority on restricted defense transactions from DOD to Commerce to get around the ban on def tech to China, repaying Chinese funding of his election. Hillary learned from him.
Well, of course, it's treason.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the Congressional Republicans to prosecute.
When they had the chance to prosecute the `Toon over Chinese espionage, A.K.A. Chinagate, they looked the other way and filed articles of impeachment over the `Toon lying in a sexual assault case.
They knew the sex assault case wouldn't kill the king. They merely wanted to wound him without exposing their own complicity in Chinagate.
More treason. It never stops.
