The Clinton/China timeline

I was researching something related and stumbled across this excellent Wikipedia article. Essentially, under Mr. Clinton's watch as President, the Communist Chinese government directed large amounts of financial contributions to the Democratic Party. Also, under Clinton's watch, the Chinese were able to operate an espionage ring in the Department of Energy such that they were able to steal complete designs of all seven of our current nuclear warhead designs. In addition, stuff like this was happening (from the Wikipedia article):
On February 14 (1996), a People's Liberation Army (PLA) space launch vehicle crashed destroying the Loral Space & Communications satellite it was carrying. Chinese officials kept American investigators away from the crash scene. When they were finally allowed access, they found the highly militarily sensitive encryption chips were missing even though their encasing was left intact (encryption technology denies outsiders access to, or control over, American satellites in space). Loral and Hughes Electronics' engineers gave away missile secrets to China in the ensuing investigation. Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz was the top contributor to President Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign and joined Ron Brown on numerous trade flights to China.
Here's another:
On March 21, 1996, Charlie Trie dropped off $460,000 into Clinton's legal defense fund. Trie's money was returned later when it was noticed that the money orders, from many different people, had sequential serial numbers. Immediately after the donation, Trie sent a letter to President Clinton that expressed concern about America's intervention in tensions arising from China's military exercises being conducted near Taiwan. Trie told the President in his letter that war with China was a possibility should U.S. intervention continue.
And people have the gall to complain about President Bush. Clinton's "legacy" is one of double-dealing, lying and corruption. Scum... Posted by DaveH at April 12, 2006 1:42 PM
