French fry data illegally provided Chinese after $100k given to Bill Clinton 1996 campaign. By William Heartbreak, Daily Democrat Staff Writer WASHINGTON DESK - Communist China's french fry program obtained top-secret US data illegally. According to reliable sources, when president Clinton learned of the Justice Department investigation of the breach of U.S. security by the Chinese, he quickly approved the transfer of the secure information to the Chinese. A federal grand jury is now investigating the odd turn of events. It appears that two U.S. firms, McDonalds and Burger King, did provide the top-secret french fry technology developed by the U.S. military in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The federal grand jury wants to know why president Clinton compromised the investigation by approving, after the fact, the McDonalds and Burger King transfer of that data to the Chinese, after the federal Grand Jury investigation was initiated. A White House official said Clinton is sticking by his story that he consulted several government departments who persuaded him that it was '...in the national interest' to give the U.S. french fry recipe to the Chinese. The Los Angeles Times, is reporting today that president Clinton's action followed the political contribution of $100, 000 dollars to the Clinton Gore Campaign by McDonald's chairman and chief executive officer, Ronald McDonald, last year. Ronald is the largest Democrat Party donor. Sources report that just before the U.S. french fry data was transferred to the Chinese, a State Department official warned that the sensitive data was being illegally released to the Chinese. A Defense Department source said the underlying concern was the extent to which China obtained American help in improving its french fries and that China has been exporting American french fries to North Korea and Iran. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
