Washington Post 5/16/99 Walter Pincus and Vernon Loeb "...The long-awaited document, which could be released this week, concludes that U.S. national security has been damaged by China's theft or acquisition of nuclear warhead secrets, satellite and missile technology, supercomputers, telecommunications equipment, jet engines and sophisticated machine tools..... The investigation initially focused on two leading U.S. satellite makers, Hughes Electronics Corp. and Loral Space & Communications, under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for allegedly sharing unauthorized information with China about the failure of two Chinese Long March rockets in 1995 and 1996 carrying U.S.-built satellites. Loral's chief executive officer, Bernard Schwartz, was the Democratic Party's largest single donor in the 1996 campaigns. Both companies have denied wrongdoing. But the Cox committee, with a staff of 45 and a $2 million budget, soon broadened its investigation to include the transfer of all sensitive technology to China, from satellites to supercomputers. Last fall, staff investigators learned of an FBI criminal investigation into suspected Chinese espionage at Los Alamos National Laboratory and soon came to focus on China's theft of nuclear secrets....."
You're nuts if you don't think Clinton got away with treason. Do you think 0bama is not getting away with treason right now?
Eh, there actually was some technology transfer under Clinton. It was “dual-use” technology that got defined as “commercial” to enable sales.
However, people need to keep in mind that there was explicit military tech transfer under Reagan and Bush I (including direct sale of weapons like lightweight torpedoes). Of course, at the time China was an ally against the Soviet Union.
The problem is that people exaggerate the tech transfer that did take place, to give the impression that the Chinese would be armed with sticks and rocks today were it not for Bill Clinton. Totally not the case.
In terms of military technology that was overtly sold to China and not stolen through espionage, the overwhelming majority of Chinese military tech is Russian; quite a lot is French, and a decent amount is Israeli, and there’s more of each than what was explicitly given to China by the US.
Also it needs to be kept in mind that the Chinese have had the ability to put multi-megaton ICBMs on US cities since the early Reagan adminstration; that capability was not the result of what the Clintons gave them.
Really? No kidding? lol
If it is true the whole country would have known about it and it would have been the biggest scandal in US history and Clinton would have been been impeached and removed from office for this and not for get a BJ in the Oval office and lying about it under oath...
Yeah, right, the media would have told everybody /s
(actually some of them did, as I said Tim Russert screamed TREASON for weeks on end).
As per Monty Python, "Not necessarily."
The whole country - that part which paid attention - did know he was guilty of treason, including the House and Senate.
However, he couldn't be impeached for TREASON since that crime is only a Constitutional crime when committed in wartime against a declared enemy. And since BillyBoy had not declared war on China, he could not be impeached for TREASON - hence Monika. He was free, like Obama to give away whatever he chose, by whatever means, or route.
Further, BillyBoy was a Third Wayist - if all countries have the same stuff, then none will bully or make war on another - and so Obama works diligently to insure Iran gets a working nuclear weapon - and so Obama orders the publishing of what otherwise would be classified data in to further his agenda of diminishing the US to Third World status without fear on committing TREASON.
