Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
A Republican leader in the House is accusing the Obama administration of violating a federal law designed to protect America’s most sensitive technological secrets from the Red Chinese. The most extreme of Obama’s czars, Science Czar John P. Holdren, so flagrantly violated the law that a one-sided Justice Department legal memorandum drawn up to exonerate him said it could defend “most, if not all” of his actions.
According to Virginia Republican Congressman Frank Wolf, the offense took place when Holdren attended the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) on May 9-10. Holdren, who heads the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), took nine OSTP employees to the meeting, where they admit they met with representatives of the People’s Republic of China. This violates section 1340 of the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011, a funding bill Congress passed earlier this year to avoid a federal shutdown.
Wolf is the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies and an outspoken advocate for human rights in China. He authored the provision, which prohibits OSTP or NASA from collaborating with the PRC, because he rightly believes China’s burgeoning space program benefits the long-range plans of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The relevant section of the law states:
None of the funds made available by this division may be used for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or the Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop, design, plan, promulgate, implement, or execute a bilateral policy, program, order, or contract of any kind to participate, collaborate, or coordinate bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company unless such activities are specifically authorized by a law enacted after the date of enactment of this division.
Despite the clear statutory language, nine OSTP employees participated in the S&ED with their Chinese counterparts, costing the agency $3,500. Wolf said their participation constitutes “blatant disregard for the law.”
A howling Wolf requested the Government Accountability Office (GAO) offer its legal opinion on the matter. On October 11, the GAO ruled, “we conclude that OSTP’s use of appropriations to fund its participation in the Innovation Dialogue and the S&ED violated the prohibition in section 1340.” In fact, the GAO found OSTP violated two laws; by spending funds that were not available to it, the agency also broke the Anti-Deficiency Act.
As a sign of this administration’s growing contempt for the rule of law, the government did not attempt to hide its wrongdoing; it simply said the lawbreaking is none of your business.

Just what does this usurping pretender President have to do before he's impeached, drop a nuke on New York City?
He'd probably drop anthrax on New York City.
I believe THAT would be forgiven also!
I can’t take it anymore !!!!!!
Someone please give me a frontal labotomy and send me to a place where I can be a hermit.
The longer we let this punk-thug get away with breaking the law the worse it's going to get. IMPEACH him NOW!

WE CAN'T IMPEACH! That would be saying that he is a ligitimate President! HE IS A USURPER IN CHIEF! If he is impeached then we would have to pay for his retirement for life plus his security. Also his family! NO IMPEACHMENT! HE NEEDS TO BE TRIED FOR TREASON!
Thank you Virginia!!
WE CAN"T IMPEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRIED FOR TREASON IS THE ONLY WAY TO RID OURSELVES OF THIS IMPOSTER!!!!!!!!!
Another action on the part of this Administration that their intent is to warp us out of the conservative way of living in this country. Come on folks, lets get rid of this Administration now.
…Once again, the Obama Administration violated Federal Law. This time a Law designed to protect America's most sensitive Technological Secrets from the Red Chinese. Their participation constitutes blatant disregard for the law, yet the Administration walks away without prosecution! They simply say, the lawbreaking is none of your business!!!! Now who in their right mind would want this Criminal Administration re-elected?
40% say`s obumnuts is doing a fine job and most like will vote for him again.
It’s that 40% THAT ARE WATCHING LIBERAL MEDIA, EXPECTING THAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD EVERYTHING AND THAT IT IS THE GOSPEL.
WAKE UP 40%, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
Line up for Surrender, we are being sold out, and none of you are willing to Elect and Independent Candidate because you have been told, if you don't Vote for Democrats or Republicans, your vote is wasted. Well! If you do vote for a Democrat or Republican our nation will be wasted. It's time to stand up and defend our nation. Face the Federal Government and demand The Constitution and Bill of Rights rule our leaders. We have elected Traitors (Wolves in Sheeps clothing) Because we Citizens do not run this nation. We are told to go home and shut up and let the Professional Politician run our nation. They know you do not have the guts to demand our nation be Restored, not Changed. It is time for a Revolution IF you have the guts to ReVote. I'll bring manufacturing back to America, with Made in America my pledge to you.
I would love to see the MADE IN AMERICA STAMP again.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT EVERY SINGLE LABEL ON PRODUCTS I BUY AT STORES, AND I’LL BE DAMNED IF ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE SAYS ‘MADE IN CHINA, HENCHO … CHINA!’
I AM DISGUSTED !!!
What is it going to take for the conservatives in Washington to stand up to the communist democratic regime? Why are the dems exempt from the laws? I want to k now this? If this was citizens doing this we would be called terrorists, thrown in prison and the key to our cell would be thrown in the ocean. Why are the dems exempt from our laws? Why are the dems exempt from our law? Why are the dems exempt from our laws?
Why is obama exempt from our laws? Why is obama exempt from our laws?
I WANT TO KNOW THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What in the crap are not the conservatives banding together and demanding it and sticking together until they make it happen? What are they there for?
13% approval for congress? Wonder why that is? DUH
Giving info to communist countries is nothing new with a democrat (communist) president. If you recall under the woman beating rapist liar the communist Chinese were given the guidance system to launch their missiles more than 25 miles and the communist North Koreans were given the ability to make nuclear weapons under the pretense they would build power plants. It is scary that Barry has access to Americas secrets.
Again the weak knee congress will not call for impeachment of this crook and his gang of crooks. They stand by and do nothing to stop all these violations.
They are afraid if they briing impeachment charges against this bastard halfbreed son of a white trash communist whore that they will have every black,mexicanand muslim demonstrating and stealing burning as they have done in the past,they don't care if this half breed is impeached it just gives them an excuse to hit the streets and steal everything they can get their hands on
Lock and Load then folks…
Stand and protect your homes via self-defense.
And to those of you who do not understand the above, I am not telling you to take to the streets.
I am simply stating that a person bas a right to defend his/her home from intruders.
So if I, as a John/Jane Q. Public, goes to China and give them our scientific secrets it's called treason. If Obama, or one of his czars, does it they say it's none of our business.
I don't get it.
You are forgetting the one who started it ALL? Bill Clinton gave away 50 yrs. of technology to CHINA, and NOBODY said SQUAT!
No, unfortunately I haven't forgotten. We were given a "mock" impeachment trial that the public fell for. I'm afraid the same will be done with obummer.
The most corrupt administration in the history of this nation! I want to see more of our Republican Congressman who were elected because of their professed conservative beliefs to stand up and publicly denounce this adminstration for their corruption and socialist agenda. I want to see more congressman like Ted Poe from Texas who is not afraid to tell it like it is.
SO? WHAT THE HELL IS ANYONE DOING ABOUT THIS? NOT A DARN THING! THIS FRAUD IS NOT ONLY ACTING THE PART OF A DICTATOR THE DIABOLICAL CRIMINAL IS A DICTATOR, WITH NO ONE DOING A DAMN THING TO PUT HIM WHERE HE BELONGS. IN AN ORANGE JUMPSUIT AND GO THE WAY OF ALL DICTATORS! LOOK WHAT THE MIDDLE EASTERN JACKALS ARE DOING WITH THEIRS!
We need to do that to ours.
And this surprises us, how? And, why? It seems that this fiasco, this insult, infection, disease, does exactly as he pleases, and no one in the position to do anything about it, ISN”T DOING A DAMN THING! Why? The only conclusion I can draw from this inaction is that they are afraid of him, or someone, so badly, that they all keep their pussified mouths shut because of fear of something, or someone. It seems that they’d be afraid, more so, of losing their seats in congress or elsewhere, come election time, and speak up and do something. But even that doesn’t seem to worry them any, even at the risk of losing a good “job”. But then, why worry about doing the job, when their “perks and benifits” still remain even if they do lose the “job”. All any of them care about is themselves………..they got what they wanted from us, and now they can go and live their comfortable lives, while we pay for that too, along with the next bunch of liars and thieves to be elected. No, this doesn’t surprise me, it is just another law, broken, along with the many already broken by this muSLIME in office, for all HE wants is to make America ready for the filth he calls his brothers, the muSLIME brotherhood, with the disease that they call islime to cover every inch of our country. I don’t know what we Americans can do except have our own Revolution, to take our country back from these filthy bastards that are taking her away from us, one inch, one acre and one mile, along with one state at a time. If we don’t revolt, we are in for one hell of a rough ride, and a hellish life, with Sharia law to be instated and every right we have ever fought for, and that so many have died for in the past, will be taken, by force, from us. The biggest question I have at this point, is this………..Are Americans going to sit in their comfortable homes and allow this to happen without a shot being fired, and no word spoken to save our once beautiful and great country? Americans that is, who still HAVE their homes, thanks to the theivery of Wall Street and Washington, who has stolen so much from us all. Next will be our freedom, and we will wish that losing a home was our only problem by then! Freedom is much more valuable than square feet of covered comfort!
Why don't they just come right out and say…."America, you are screwed, we have taken over and this is how it will be. Show up at the local fire/police stations and turn in your guns. Property owners bring your paperwork, we now are enforcing eminent domain and confiscating all property for the state.
You will be notified by state TV what to expect here on out. We willdetermine case by case whether you will work in your current job, or be placed in a state controlled work environment.
No more internet except what we allow. No more Facebook, Twitter or any other social media…and on and on it will go…..
We are there, and we can't stop it.
Obama and cronies have walked all over the Constitution and laughed in the face of the Congress and Citizens. The people we elected to represent us have occasionally raised complaints BUT not one of them have the guts to follow the law and Arrest them for Treason. America is drifting without leadership or anyone obeying the Constitution. People need to rise up and take our Government back and rid ourselves of the Usurper in Chief and EVERYONE in Congress and reset our Government to the Constitution believing people that once made our Country great. Time for our Military to wake up and save America!! To hell with all these foreign Governments and their unrest. Obama is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and his vision is to turn America into a Muslim Country. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
You are not only a idiot you are a discrace to this country. You really should do some real research before spewing this complete pile of crap. You really need to get a life you stupid right wing zellot.
YOU ARE theDISGRACE to this country you COMMIE LOVER. Why don't you move to China and take old "Commie Obamie with you.
That is typical of this administration,Obama,beleives he is the law and doesn't have to look to any one for permission to do what he wants weather illegal or not.The first thing is his Czar is illegal he was not approved to do anything by congress or the people.I would dearly love to be on the firing squad when all of his administration are convicted of treason,Pelosi and Reid are at the fore front of all of his treasonist actions, it would be a hard choice as which to shoot first
There is absolutely NO defense for the actions of anyone in this Obscumbo cartel — They will all be tried and executed for highest treason.
AMEN
HOW MANY MORE OFFENSES CAN OBAMA DO BEFORE HE GIVES AMERICA AWAY? IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!!! HE IS TRYING TO GIVE SECRETS TO CHINA? I THINK HE IS DOING THIS ON PURPOSE SO MUSLIMS CAN TAKE OVER AMERICA. IMPEACH, IMPEAACH,IMPEACH OBAMA NOW.
THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN IMPEACH THIS ILLEGAL. THAT'S THE SENATE'S JOB AND THEY WON'T DO IT. OUR BEST BET IS TO GET HIM AND HIS CORRUPT REGIME ON TREASON! CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM TO GROW A SET AND GO AFTER THESE THUGS!

If Barack Obama is re-elected in 2012, this country is going to die. But for those of you who are thinking, “Ah, but if Rick Perry is elected…,” think again. This country is going to die anyway.
Regardless the outcome of the 2012 elections, the U.S. is dying. This opera is just about over. The fat lady’s singing.
Ignoring the facts doesn’t change the facts, and the fact is these United States have not been united for 150 years. The ties that once bound us together by force have rotted. The economic meltdown, multiculturalism, moral relativism and other malignancies have placed this nation into hospice care.
…..Mr Boehner, how many laws you will permit Obama yet to violate before you will decide to impeach Obama? Impeach Obama now!!!
stop screwing around, and impeach this bastard.
