I wonder if it will come to a vote???

“High Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Sequel”
Wonder if Bubba and his past cabinet sleazes and their staffers engaged in “advising” to make this deal happen
Undoubtedly the chinese will be glad to make generous contributions to the Obama and Democratic campaigns coffers.
Dr. Smith:
was whiny,
had delusions of grandeur,
regularly sold out his benefactors (who were providing him food, shelter & security) to any alien who would further his own cause,
would rather shirk than work,
seemed to want to hang out more with the guys than the gals,
would lie, cheat, or steal at the drop of a hat,
would talk big but cower behind others when harm was imminient
caused the mission to go off course, but would never admit it.
So “Lost in Space” does seem an appropriate metaphor for Obama

The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy, also known as Chinagate, was an alleged effort by the People’s Republic of China to influence domestic American politics during the 1996 federal elections.
The issue first received public attention in early 1997, with news that a Justice Department investigation had uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in violation of U.S. laws regarding foreign political contributions.[1] The Chinese government denied all accusations. Twenty-two people were eventually convicted of fraud or for funneling Asian funds into the United States elections, and others fled U.S. jurisdiction. Several of these were associates of Bill Clinton or Al Gore.

I doubt Majority Leader Harry Reid will allow a vote.
Sounds like we have a new kickback king.
Any secrets given to China go to N Korea, and others not so friendly to us. We have enemies “both foriegn and domestic” implanted into this regime, and the lines have blurred.
Bernie Schwartz, the head of Loral just happened to be the single largest contributor to Bill Clinton. Some things never change.
A BLAST FROM THE PAST!
Wang Jun was (is) a notorious Chinese arms dealer. Clinton approved the import of a boat load of his rifles that congress had just determined were covered under the assault weapons ban after this meeting.

So, the long and short of it: Al Gore & the federal gubmint didn’t invent the internets?
..........”Only if intelligence data showed that AsiaSat had allowed the Chinese military to put payloads on its satellites would enforcement action be taken, the State official said.
The license to AsiaSat is being carried out under the Arms Export Control Act, and is part of the Obama administration program of seeking a major loosening of export controls of sensitive technology.
Critics opposed to loosening export controls have said the new policy will help China’s large-scale military buildup, specifically its space warfare programs.
A joint State Department-Pentagon report made public in April warned that U.S. plans to loosen controls on satellite exports will boost China’s space warfare capabilities.
Because of close ties between Chinese civilian and military space development, there is a “high likelihood that space-related items and technology will be diverted from a civil use and applied to military programs,” under relaxed U.S. export controls, the report said.
“As China advances in operational space capabilities, it is actively focusing on how to destroy, disrupt, or deny U.S. access to our own space assets,” the report said.
The report said China is building several new classes of offensive missiles, upgrading older missile systems, and “developing space-based methods to counter ballistic missile defenses of the United States and our allies, including anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons.”........
BUMP!
“I wonder if it will come to a vote???”
No. It will not come up for a vote.
The export process requires an unofficial congressional 20-day notice (already passed), then an official 30-day notification period.
This 30-day window is to allow time for congress to officially review the export license request. Congress must VETO the request if it is to be stopped. The notification process is NOT an opportunity to vote FOR the requested export, just an opportunity for congress to veto it.
Doing nothing after 30-days results in automatic approval of the export.
You see, if congress does not vote down the export license request then by default it is approved.
Congress can now say, “I never voted for that” and be correct.
