“I’m feeling relevant again.”
Tiger Beat on the Potomac (Thanks Charlie!) has the deets:
“Chinese telecom giant ZTE is tapping a deeply connected Washington insider, former Sen. Joe Lieberman, as it tries to fend off ongoing concerns that it poses a threat to U.S. national security…
“U.S. officials have ramped up warnings that ZTE, which produces networking equipment as well as smartphones and tablet computers, provides opportunities for Chinese cyber espionage, given its ties to the Chinese government. Key lawmakers this summer sought to block the company from doing business in the U.S., but Congress later settled for a ban on ZTE entering into U.S. government contracts, following intervention by President Donald Trump.”
Good hire, China! Because when you really want to destroy Americans’ faith and trust in anything, Traitor Joe Lieberman is your man!

Oh goody, maybe Trump will tap him for Veep so we could have a one-two Russia + China -owned Executive Branch.
Also, how can we miss Traitor Joe if he never goes away?

Bummer. If there were only some way the US could produce its own networking equipment as well as smartphones and tablet computers. Sad. Damn you profit margins.

Traitor Joe’s super power is a droning voice that can put everyone to sleep. Unfortunately for him, he’s not immune to it.

Didn’t the intervention by Trump (aka Ginger Krampus) last summer occur when China arranged a $500 million loan to the Trump Organization ?
