Clinton cozied to the Chi-Coms in exchange for campaign cash. In exchange they got missile tech to target US allies and eventually US.

Chi-coms?? You wallow in paranoia, dude, that term hasn't been current since the '60s. And the Chinese have had ICBMs capable of reaching the US since the late 1950s. They have less than 30 warheads, a force with no conceivable value other than as a deterrent to a US strike. If you think of China as as threat to the security of the US, you have been reading too much Newsmax.

"Finance reform" is a direct response to Clinton - his illegal fundraising and his sale of pardons.

Campaign finance has been a dirty business since the first political campaign. I doubt that Clinton did anything that hadn't been done repeatedly before. He's not smart enough to come up with anything really new, and politicians have been digging up sneaky ways to bring in cash for so long that there may not be any new possibilities.
