OK one last time. CFIUS ok'ed the deal. They reached their conclusion in lightning fast time not even using the full 45 days review. The deal was ok'ed by the P&O company shareholders. The crap hit the fan only when the story gained national media attention thanks to the Internet and blogging. So from your post you state that the President or his admin had to have been notified of the CFIUS decision. Now the President and Sec Snow say they didn't know about it. So either someone broke the law or someone is lying or they are so clueless that they were notified and forgot. Knowing politics I would say someone is lying to try not to appear weak on national security. I'll leave you to figure out who is lying.
I didn't state anything I gave you a copy of that part of the act. If you will go to the site you will find they have to give him a written conclusion and recommendation. They advised him there was no security risk and no reason to veto the deal. He has 15 days to read the recommendation and decide. Since DP has been approve many times by security checks no one saw a problem. You can figure out who's lying, I don't spend my time on conspiracy. If you don't like him don't vote for him. Its simple, you get a chance every four years to vote for the perfect candidate. If you want a liar think back to the first time you heard Arabs are buying our ports.
