If Peter Thiel really “knows this subject better than anyone,” he’d know that both Article III of the Constitution and the treason statute (18 U.S.C. § 2381) define the offense narrowly to require aiding someone with whom the US is at war (so, not China):https://t.co/Mja2AKsuaB https://t.co/NE7xImYQrH

John Bolton just asked about Thiel's comments on Google. Didn't name Goog, but said that when big U.S. tech cos "engage in activity that benefits China, and harms America," U.S. is "entitled to look at that very seriously"

Trump just encouraged Attorney General Bill Barr to examine whether “there’s any truth” to Peter Thiel’s assertion on Fox News about Google’s ties to the Chinese government. Google says it doesn’t work with the Chinese military.

Peter Thiel argues that Google should be investigated for treason and calls Elizabeth Warren, Google's bitter enemy, the most dangerous candidate.

Which shows how complicated tech politics are right now.

That’s not an opinion; it’s a statement of fact.
