>>4832609, >>4832660 Admiral Rogers Report 2012, Chinese Telecommunications Companies Huawei And Zte (Bread #6168)
Since this is back in notables, I'm reposting from earlier digs on Huawei.
Admiral Rogers' report was presented to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in October 2012. The recommendations in the report not to use Huawei for USG business were ignored apparently, and worse - the USG actually contracted for 70 mobile hotspot units for Hussein while he was in Laos; hussein visited in September 2016. But isn't that odd timing? The first president to visit Laos goes during the height of the Presidential campaign and uses equipment from a company that was known (at a minimum) 4 years earlier to be highly suspect? What did the embassy do with 70 mobile hotspot units after hussein and his group had gone?
