Dozens of members of Congress accepted tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from lobbyists for a Chinese military-backed telecommunications firm, records show.

A total of 46 Republican and Democratic House members and senators have pocketed roughly $35,600 from five Huawei lobbyists, according to Federal Election Commission records and lobbying disclosures reviewed by the Washington Examiner. But this same multinational corporation, which is headquartered in China, may soon be banned by the U.S. government from selling new products in the United States due to the Biden administration's national security concerns. ...

Nonetheless, 33 Republicans and 13 Democrats accepted an average campaign donation of about $770 between September 2016 and June 2022 from those paid to lobby on behalf of Huawei, filings show. The lobbyists are Brian McLaughlin and Edward Newberry of Imperium Global Advisors, Glenn LeMunyon of the LeMunyon Group, Bret K. Boyles of Squire Patton Boggs, and Donald Morrissey of Huawei.

Out of the 46 lawmakers, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has taken the most in campaign donations from any of the lobbyists. ...

Yeah, and it's probably off by an order of magnitude, too.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Huawei hasn't created a single technological innovation since its inception.  The technology for every single thing they produce was stolen from some other company.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
