Why? Well, I will tell you why. This was a political loser for the left, and had it gone through the 45 day investigatory process, you, me, and everyone else paying attention to this port deal story would have learned of the TRUTH and the FACTS, and it would not have been seen through the prism of alarmist hysteria.
The Democrats and their unions were panicking.
No kidding! I wonder also how many union people were calling Republicans to kill this deal.
