Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., ignored multiple requests for comment when asked why she signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to engage in closed-door discussions about a Chinese battery company's proposed factory.
Slotkin's office confirmed to The Detroit News earlier this year that the Michigan lawmaker and her deputy legislative director Austin Girelli signed NDAs to discuss the proposal from Gotion, a subsidiary of the Hefei, China-based Gotion High-Tech, to build an electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in Big Rapids, Michigan. The proposed factory would be located outside of Slotkin's congressional district.
Austin Cook, a spokesperson for Slotkin, explained to the outlet in February that Slotkin believed it was important "to learn more about significant economic development projects like this to better understand their impact, and if there are ways to help from the federal level." He acknowledged Slotkin and her staff signed NDAs to "be part of those conversations."

We are being ruled (not governed) by a corrupt bunch of criminals.
Damn women politicians are just as big of crooks as men are. Trannies are as bad as both men and women.
About two weeks ago NDAs were considered here as ordinary, everyday things.
The Chinese company may not wish to make its decision points known so it can drive better deals with land owners and local governments and to leave other battery makers unsure of the size of the market it will be taking for itself.
Congresswoman Slotkin is only one of 435 deciders.
The amount of the bribes and who gets them was discussed.
“The Chinese company may not wish to make its decision points known so it can drive better deals with land owners and local governments and to leave other battery makers unsure of the size of the market it will be taking for itself.”
And a U.S. representative has exactly what reason in participating in those discussions and agreeing not to reveal the subject matter to her colleagues and constituents?

Check her background, she may have been a Clown, iirc
Traitor
Snells like... treason.
Payoffs, ripoffs and things nobody saw
She learned her word salad remarks from Harris.
NDA’s are SOP... No company is going to discuss its internal plans or details of anything important with anyone external who hasn’t signed one.
I’d honestly be shocked if any company ever discussed potential plans for expansion, growth, or anything with a politician or anyone else without having them sign an NDA.
Otherwise, the person they are talking with are free to blab all their internal plans to the press, their competitors or anyone else without the company having any recourse.
This is government-to-government. Big diff. Sunshine should prevail when congressclowns deal with the Chicoms.
No it’s a private company and a government official, not government to government.
Could there be something nefarious going on? Sure.. but as I said, no company worth its salt is going to openly discuss its detailed plans with an outsider without an NDA in place.
I’ve had to sign NDA’s with nearly every company I’ve ever worked with in any capacity, some required them to just have an interview with them.
The underlying supposition that an NDA in and of itself is evidence of malfeasance is hogwash
i think the problem with this one is the Chinese battery manufacturing is outside the critter district. plus why need fed help
