FBI head warns against Trump deal with ZTE
By John Bowden - 05/17/18 08:58 AM EDT

FBI Director Christopher Wray is raising red flags over President Trump's tweet claiming he is working on restoring the ability of Chinese company ZTE to do business with American firms.

In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Wednesday, the FBI chief said he is concerned about telecom companies like ZTE, which is closely tied to the Chinese government, being granted access to U.S. markets, Politico reported.

“We at the FBI remain deeply concerned that any company beholden to foreign governments that don’t share our values are not companies that we want to be gaining positions of power inside our telecommunications network,” Wray said, according to the news outlet, while declining to name any specific companies.

The FBI is about 25 years late with this warning. I wonder what compelled them to raise a flag now?

LOL. Yeah right Wray. All bent out of shape by a phone company. Where were you guys when Clintoon and Loral gave missile tech to the Chinamen?

I understand that all Chinese made phones are a problem, not just ZTE.

I believe Janet Reno was employed carrying bags of Chinese cash through the side door to the west wing while Louise Freeh stood by with his thumb in his nose.
