ZTE reportedly hires former Sen. Joe Lieberman to spearhead a national security assessment of its products. "There are obviously still concerns about the safety of their products or the extent to which their products could be used to compromise American security in any way or even individual security," Lieberman tells Politico in an interview. ZTE has "decided to really try to get ahead of those concerns and be in a position to answer them," he says. Lieberman adds that while he will register as a lobbyist, he will be focusing on his national security evaluation and won't actually lobby for ZTE on Capitol Hill.

Can this be for real?
Never trusted his loyalty to the US. This confirms it. One hopes that any clearances he ever had are terminated. Has he registered as a foreign agent?
Is a “lobyist” required to register as foreign agent? Foreign agent was my terminology. Maybe that does not fit the definition as a foreign agent, but in this position his loyalty would be to his employer.
And this eases national security concerns how, exactly?
Because a Demo rat politician is now on the payroll?
Lobbyist, agent, traitor...
Apparently, ZTE thinks Lieberman’s influence is worth the money.
Clinton legacy
Uni-party figurehead to the rescue!
Paul Ryan is jealous...

A national security assessment? What a hoot! He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Just give him a little time - maybe a year. Then he’ll either be a “consultant” for a foreign government or for a company that needs legislative favors.
very funny.
I thought he always worked for ZTE.
Lieberman, just another Commie.
And I had such high hopes for him....
Don Corleone does Bonasera a favor. Don Xi Jinping now requires Joe 'Bonasera' Lieberman to 'do a service' for him.
ZTE could turn over their OS source code, firmware source and HDL to the NSA for review and it would still not satisfy national security concerns (ZTE could just change stuff in the factory for starters). Lieberman has no skills whatsoever (that I know of) so he’s going to do what?
Good to know they have a technical expert in there assessing possible risks.
What a whore.
Lynchpin Lieberman, “the conscience of the Senate”, ALERT!
Joe sold out.
Jeez.
Yep... That was my question too when I read the title. When did lieberman become a firmware diagnosis expert? If my memory serves me right, he barely understands how the internet works.
I feel much safer already... lol
