Top Obama officials aid Chinese firm ('Huawei') targeted by Trump order....

Two former top Obama administration officials are working on behalf of Huawei, even as the Chinese telecom giant faces a Trump administration that increasingly sees it as 'a threat to national security'.....

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday likely aimed at limiting the influence of Huawei, ZTE, and other Chinese companies the U.S. intelligence community and law enforcement officials see as threats.

But 'Samir Jain', 'Obama’s senior director for cybersecurity' policy for the National Security Council, registered as a lobbyist for Huawei in March 2019,.... and 'James Cole', who was Obama’s deputy attorney general from 2011 to 2015, has represented Huawei since 2017 as an attorney with law firm Sidley.

Cole is defending Huawei against Justice Department criminal charges of bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to commit money laundering, obstruction of justice, illegal actions related to dodging Iran sanctions, and more.

Jain is now lobbying for Huawei on topics such as “foreign investment, government purchasing, and security-related issues arising under the National Defense Authorization Act,” according to his disclosure filing.

The Justice Department is working to disqualify Cole, who was No. 2 in the Obama Justice Department for five years, from defending Huawei for his previous experiences investigating Huawei-related matters while at the DOJ.

“Obama’s senior director for cybersecurity’ policy”

So, the guy responsible for the OPM breach is representing China?

Interesting. It seems he helped China both times.

The former Dem Congressman from my District, Rick Boucher, took a lobbying job with Huawai.
His Party killed tobacco and coal (both big here), but he won re-election for years.

\It’s hell being a poor District....rich Districts can offer so much more for a vote.

So the two former Obongo officials are now openly working for Huawei.

Under the "everyone assumed Killary would win" assumption, I wonder when exactly they started receiving remuneration from the ChiCom company?

By any measurement, the O'Bammy cabal had to be the most corrupt in American history.
