Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was heavily criticized Friday after a Fox News Digital report showed she spoke twice with a top Chinese government official before the White House announced plans to tap emergency oil stocks.
According to internal Department of Energy (DOE) calendars obtained by Americans for Public Trust, Granholm consulted China National Energy Administration Chairman Zhang Jianhua, a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party, Nov. 19, 2021, and two days later on Nov. 21, 2021.
On Nov. 23, 2021, the White House announced a release of 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
“Before telling the American people of their plans to undermine our energy security by draining the SPR at record rates for political purposes before the midterm elections, Secretary Granholm reportedly first secretly consulted with the Chinese Communist Party,” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers said in a statement.
“Since then, DOE — under her leadership — has sold millions of barrels of oil from our SPR to China — the world’s biggest polluter,” she added. “It would appear Secretary Granholm meant it when she said America should ‘learn’ from what China is doing.” …

“None Dare Call It Treason!”
Well, I do. This is treason.
Meanwhile, this from our GOP “leaders”: ZZZZZZZZZZ
She be ugly ****h too.
Sold millions of barrels of oil from our SPR to China — the world’s biggest polluter.
Proof of how much Biden’s climate control scam is.
Corrupt to the core.
But she’s especially corrupt and after seeing some clips of her testifying/speaking to committees, she definitely wasn’t nominated for that position for her “energy sector acumen”.
Law clerk, county attorney, US Attorney, AG, Governor, Sec of Energy.....not sure where she got her experience in the energy sector.
Placed there because she’s corrupt to the core and has been a loyal foot soldier to the Left.
Personally, I think Rick Perry is an absolute clown, but having had to deal with the oil companies in Texas, he had some foundational knowledge in that field.
Big reason for the demise of Detroit.

Biden’s Sale of U.S. Oil Reserves to China
Also Cut in Hunter Biden $For a $Piece of the $Action
Edited.....snip....the Biden Admin’s sale of U.S. oil reserves to Unipec America, a company operated by the Chinese Communist Party, raises concerns that U.S. oil could be used by China to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
To ensure the Biden Administration is properly managing the sale of critical American assets, lawmakers are once again calling on Biden’s Dept of Energy (DOE) Secy Jennifer Granholm to provide an immediate briefing, and all documentsm and communications, related to the SPR sale.
According to DOE, the Biden Admin recently sold almost a million barrels of SPR oil to Unipec America, a subsidiary of Sinopec, a company owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
In addition to concerns with Hunter Biden, the President’s son, receiving money from the Chinese deal, the decision to sell to Unipec is troubling ...........efforts to ensure the American people that the Biden Administration is properly managing the sale of critical assets from the SPR and not supporting Russia by providing oil to China, caused lawmakers to request a briefing and documents related to this matter.
Committee Republicans previously wrote to Secy Granholm on May 26, 2022 and July 20, 2022 requesting a briefing on the DOE’s plan to replenish the SPR and raising concerns about the sale of oil to a Chinese energy company....... that Hunter Biden’s private equity firm has a financial stake in.
DOE’s failure to provide a briefing or any information related to the SPR sale jeopardizes the US’ ability to respond to national emergencies and meet Americans’ energy demands.
“Research shows Chinese firms recently trading with Russia’s defense sector, including with companies supporting Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine. This is troubling because the DOE sale of almost $100 million worth of oil went to Unipec, a subsidiary of a Chinese oil company.
In light of China’s close friendship with Russia having ‘no limits,’ there are serious questions about whether SPR oil is benefiting Russia...... or companies assisting Russia in the invasion of Ukraine.
It would be unacceptable for China to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with oil from the United States.
True indeed, but it would be no less treasonous if she were a beauty contest winner.
Leave her alone. She’s already been “torched,” and “heavily criticized.”
Hunter was party to the company's detailed plans for China
to “surpass” America as the “world’s leading country.”
Strategies included coordinating forms of “warfare” as a confidence game
to con other countries into viewing the Chinese Communist Party favorably, not as a “threat.”
If she was not born in Canada she’d be POTUS.
OMG
Hunter is involved too.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm spoke with a senior Chinese energy official the same week that the US began tapping its Strategic Petroleum Reserve in November 2021 — later selling some oil to a Beijing-backed firm linked to first son Hunter Biden, newly uncovered documents show.
Two days after the Granholm-Zhang call, first reported by Fox News, President Biden announced the release of 50 million barrels of oil from the reserve in an effort to bring down gas prices — “the largest-ever” energy stockpile sale in US history.
Around 900,000 barrels of oil were sold to Unipec America, a subsidiary of the Chinese government-owned gas company Sinopec, which in turn had received billions of dollars from BHR Partners — a private equity firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, who held a 10% stake in BHR until at least late 2021
China to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with oil from the United States.
Sounds like Ukraine is the newest member in Biden’s money looping gig no wonder he’s willing to support the war as long as it takes.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Anybody else would be looking at very serious federal charges, but heck, she’s in the Magic Biden Circle.
Perhaps even more so.
Can we give Granholm back to Canada and Schwarzenegger back to Austria?
