#1 "Rahm Emanuel clearly does not understand the China threat and can’t be trusted to serve as ambassador to Japan," Hawley said.

Emanuel simply doesn't care! The Japanese on the other hand....

#2 A 2016 contract brokered by Emanuel put the state-owned Chinese transportation giant CRRC to work in upgrading the Chicago transit authority’s railway cars, even though the proposal scored 5 points lower in evaluations compared to competing bids.

Obviously corrupt. It was a $1.3 billion contract.

Only question is what few was charged by Emanuel as "broker" -- if it's the same as the 2% finder's fee he used to charge as a matchmaker in the investment banking business, then the Tiny Dancer pocketed about $26 million

Tiny Dancer's nomination is finished. No one will want any digging going on here. Might lead back to the "Big Guy" or the onerous Soetoro. Next candidate please. NEXT !

#4 Emanuel simply doesn't care! The Japanese on the other hand....

Yet another example of how having skin in the game makes a difference.
