Oh, like the rocket technology that Bill Clinton allowed to be provided to China?

Rockets? Tip of the iceberg - China got whole miniaturized nuclear warhead designs out of the Clinton DoD.

Eh, just keep doing what you're doing, when they try to complain say you didn't "intend" to break the law. Hillary Defense ftw!

I think it was 8 nuclear warhead designs that were "stolen", but Slick Willie signed off on the missile tech. China also made large donations to the Clinton foundation. Coincidence? Seems like quid pro quo to me.

The Hillary defense only works if you've got Hillary $$ and Hillary connections. ;)

I would go for the Chewbacca defense myself.

True story. At a CI refresher briefing the other day the CI chick said a lot of people have been facetiously asking her about if *they* could set up their own email servers and do .gov work at home. Her reply: "Is your last name Clinton?"

I read the letter; I didn't realize this was an old law and went this far. This could get real ugly if the prohibited activities was interpreted to as person engaged in and not in the business of.

I know a few people who do gunsmithing on the side, and this really hurts. The federal government is out of control. Is that insanely high fee legislatively directed or is a regulatory declared fee?

Since we're on the topic... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us...pany.html?_r=0 (From NYT, of all places! )

I currently have this directive being reviewed by an I.T.A.R attorney.
I will complete work I currently have but until I get a clarification I will not be bringing in any new work aside from the very most basic tasks as defined by the directive.

This sucks, I have bills to pay.


Hey, but it will all get better under Hildabeast right?

Grrrr. Please keep is posted.
