Caught Red-Handed

Investigative journalist and president of the Government Accountability Institute Peter Schweizer has a new book coming out this week called, "Red-Handed: How America's Elites Get Rich Helping China Win."  I'm looking forward to reading it as I expect it will be full of shocking revelations.

Here's something that probably won't shock you:  Uber lobbyist Tony Podesta is working for Huawei, a major Chinese company.  According to financial disclosure reports, Huawei paid Podesta $1 million to lobby the Biden Administration last year on trade issues and gaining greater access to our markets. 

If his name sounds familiar, it should.  He's the brother of John Podesta, Bill Clinton's White House chief of staff, a top Obama White House adviser and Hillary's Clinton 2016 presidential campaign manager. 

The Trump Administration designated Huawei as a national security threat because of its close ties to the communist Chinese government.  The Biden Administration renewed that designation just last month. 

Huawei insists it is just a normal business like any other company.  But even the left-wing Washington Post has reported that Huawei is deeply involved in helping China's communist regime conduct mass surveillance on its citizens and political dissidents.

In 2011, then-Vice President Biden delivered a groveling speech in China.  Biden declared that "A rising China is a positive development, not only for the people of China but for the United States and the world as a whole." 

Biden went on to say that we needed to cement our relationship by inviting greater Chinese involvement in virtually every aspect of America, including "all levels of government. . . [and] classrooms and laboratories, athletic fields and boardrooms." 

Joe Biden also took his son, Hunter, on trips to communist China.  While there, Hunter cut deals with companies controlled by the Chinese communist government.  There is speculation that the Biden Administration is limited in its ability to confront communist China because the whole Biden family may be compromised by Hunter's financial dealings. 

Meanwhile, Rep. Eric Swalwell, who was literally in bed with a Chinese communist spy, still sits on the House Intelligence Committee.
