With America's Eyes on Ukraine, Biden Made Biggest Concession to China Yet
Newsweek ^ | Ben Wiengarten

Posted on 03/07/2022 1:16:07 PM PST by anthropocene_x

With America's eyes fixed on Ukraine, the Biden administration just gave Communist China its greatest gift yet.

In a little-noticed February 23 university speech, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division announced the department would be terminating its preeminent counter-espionage program, the China Initiative. This comes as the Biden DOJ is ramping up its pursuit of Americans on the basis of purported "domestic terror" threats it has never explicitly defined or substantiated.

The initiative was more than justified given China's penetration of America's schools, research centers and businesses. As FBI Director Christopher Wray recognized just a few weeks ago in a speech on the domestic threat posed by Communist China:"When we tally up what we see in our investigations—over 2,000 of which are focused on the Chinese government trying to steal our information or technology—there is just no country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, our innovation and our economic security than China."

The termination of the China Initiative is all the more outrageous given the politically correct rationale behind it. The Biden DOJ, in its own telling, did not drop the initiative because it was ineffective. Rather, it did so because progressive activists cried racism, and the department apparently lacked the will to weather the criticism, let alone rebut it, apparently prioritizing optics over national security.

It’s going to be a long impeachment as the articles keep building.

US citizens who support the Constitution are the real threat to this regime, that’s why they are focused on us.

Everything started in the Trump era has to be erased by these rampaging Maoists.

It was dropped because the US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is married to Dr. Alice Tu Chen, a Chinese Spy.

And Brain Dead Biden knows it.

The problem with Chinese spies is once you catch one you need to catch more 3 hours later.

I hope folks are paying attention.

We have had article after article after article showing how this administration has crippled America in dozens of ways.

Putin could only dream of this kind of damage.

The DOJ is America’s KGB - they are the brain and political nerve-center of Fed.gov. Using lawfare, they approve and vet all high level political schemes.

If they don’t approve, then the FBI gets involved.

Chicomjoe and Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division give more aid and comfort to the enemy of the United States.

Both should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to become one time rope testers.

The RNC should be running commercials CONSTANTLY about how traitorous/inept/corrupt the Dems are. There’s a never-ending source of materials - they could feature the Treason of the Week.

There is nothing like the threat of Global War to bring out the funniest comments I have seen in years on FR.
