Hey guys, remember that bribe we talked about yesterday? You know, the one where Comrade Stupid’s company took a buncha Chinese Ameros for developing a golf resort with hotels and condos and, well, golf and suddenly tried to roll-back his embargo on American Technology to ZTE who literally were spying on us and selling their products to Iran and Syria?

Getting ZTE back in bidness was on the list of demands the Chinese provided to the U.S. as part of trade negotiations (see #5)?

China Never Demanded Nuttin’!

The Washington Post and CNN have typically written false stories about our trade negotiations with China. Nothing has happened with ZTE except as it pertains to the larger trade deal. Our country has been losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year with China…

OK, so it was a straight up bribe.
