Sabotage: Justice Dept. had Chinese exec arrested without telling POTUS Trump as he dined with Xi

Treasonous: The Deep State continues to work against POTUS Donald Trump in every way possible, up to and including bringing the U.S. and China to the brink of a hot war.

Earlier this week, POTUS Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping dined together at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The primary subject: Trade.

Following the dinner, both sides announced some progress. The U.S. and Chinese governments would suspend tariff regimes for 90 days while trade negotiators from both countries attempted to work out a more permanent compromise.

Making trade fairer between the U.S. and China is a central tenet of POTUS Trump’s economic agenda and a major part of his “MAGA” plan. Without question, there needs to be a better balance: On Thursday, the Commerce Department announced that the trade deficit between the U.S. and China has grown to a near-monthly record of about $55.5 billion in October, the highest since 2008.

If Trump can’t get control of the rogue DOJ he may as well just retire to Mar-a-Lago now.

Bolton knew about the pending arrest before hand. He isn’t some anti-trump wacko.

The indictment of Meng had been “prepared for some time”. When she was on Canadian soil, was the convenient time to arrest her.

“U.S. prosecutors made the extradition request based on a sealed indictment for alleged violations of Iran sanctions that had been prepared for some time, people familiar with the matter said. A federally appointed U.S. overseer, formerly charged with evaluating HSBC Holdings PLC’s anti-money-laundering and sanctions controls, relayed information about suspicious Huawei transactions to federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, some of the people said.”

Term limit bureaucracies...

In the last 40 years we're allowed a ‘ruling class’ to entrench themselves in Washington DC... that's been a mistake.

DC jobs should be a privilege... and should be rotated every 6 years with government employees from our 50 States...

Term limit Washington bureaucracies... a permanent unelected ‘ruling class’ is a threat to freedom.

REPORT: Chinese Huawei CFO Arrest – John Bolton Knew Arrest Imminent, President Trump Did Not?…

Posted on December 6, 2018 by sundance

If the latest reports are accurate, this is *not* good.  Remember, there are trillions at stake and Wall Street has spent hundreds-of-million on behalf of multinational interests lobbying to keep the current status with China unchanged.

There’s a deep financial motive within this dynamic to stop President Trump from resetting the trade relationship with China. Additionally, Canada is aligned in self-interest with Wall Street and Trump’s adversaries toward the same goal.

Apparently National Security Adviser John Bolton was aware the CFO of Huawei was going to be arrested in Canada.  However, President Trump was kept out of the loop.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, said in an interview with National Public Radio that he knew in advance about the arrest of a top executive of the Chinese technology giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd [HWT.UL], according to an NPR reporter on Thursday.

Bolton said he did not know if the president was aware in advance of the arrest of Meng Wanzhou in Canada on Saturday, the day Trump struck a 90-day truce on trade in a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Argentina, NPR reporter Steve Inskeep said in a tweet.

“I knew in advance. That is something we get from the Justice Department,” the tweet quoted Bolton as saying. (read more)

Here’s the alarming (if true) aspect:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump did not know about a U.S. request for the extradition of Huawei’s chief financial officer from Canada before he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping over dinner last weekend, a White House official said on Thursday.

Huawei Technologies Ltd’s CFO Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the company’s founder, was arrested in Canada on Dec. 1 and faces extradition to the United States. The United States has been looking since at least 2016 into whether Huawei violated U.S. sanctions against Iran. (read more)

So while President Trump was sitting down with Chairman Xi to negotiate the framework of their ongoing trade discussions; Bolton knew a very geopolitical arrest, that would directly impact the relationship, was about to take place…. And he did not inform President Trump?

If true this is concerning because the Deep State would like nothing more than to scuttle any possible trade reset between the U.S. and China; and Canada would be more than willing to assist therein.

Canada benefits from the status quo.  Canada exploits their access to the U.S. market as part of their overall economic model.  Canada brokers Asian manufactured goods through their country, and assembles some parts into finished products therein.  This skirts any countervailing duties imposed on the originating Asian nation by the U.S.  This exploitation has been very lucrative for Canada.

Additionally, the Wall Street multinationals and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have paid U.S. politicians to allow maximum benefit to Chinese manufacturing.   The Big Club is opposed to President Trump; there are trillions at stake.

If Bolton knew of the location of a landmine that could have serious damage to the efforts of Trump’s economic team, and he kept it hidden, he could have intentionally positioned President Trump’s policy toward China for maximum collateral damage.

Not good.

Must watch this closely.

Suspicious cat needs more information.

“On Tuesday, the day before news of Ms. Meng’s arrest broke, the head of Canada’s spy agency said state-sponsored economic espionage and cyber threats now pose a potentially greater challenge to the country than terrorism, warning that foreign actors are already targeting the domestic technology and telecommunications sectors.”

Huawei oligarch should have eaten some plutonium.

Everything would be much simpler if we just murdered our enemies like the Clintonistas and Russians.

“Do they work for we-the-people?” Give me a break! They are Lawyers. The Biggest Crooks in the Country. If you want to know the real reason the Mueller Probe is going on so long, take a look at the Checks financed by you and me that the Lawyers there are depositing in their bank accounts. It’s the old story...”Follow The Money”.

If they’re claiming Trump wasn’t supportive of this, then I’d be disappointed.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Somebody has to say it. My belief is that coming down the road the deep state is going to push Trump to the point he has no choice but to call martial law.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the military tribunal deal goes into effect in January. It was just announced a couple of days ago that a bunch of military guards were headed to Gitmo. I think currently we only have 9 prisoners there so Trump must be gearing up for something.

That warmonger moron Bolton knew about this. Why did Trump let him in his administration?

[bert]

Fortunately, the decision was not left up to the likes of you

Well, Trump did have cruise missiles launched at Syria while he was sitting down to dinner with him last time.
