The old way: a polite letter, a less polite letter, then a subpoena a month later. The White House just told Democrats it won’t cooperate. That’s a permission slip to skip the fake niceties and start with the subpoena. My take on @CNBC @SquawkStreet @carlquintanilla:

I never want to hear republicans talk about being tough on China ever again …
Reminder that the boss of both of these guys ultimately let Jensen Huang take part in discussions with China. Donald Trump said he knew about the IC findings but didn’t really care. axios.com/2026/11/11/bessent…

Go back and read every statement comer and Jordan issued about the Biden family …
New: I asked Speaker Johnson, a former Judiciary Committee member, about the letter the White House counsel sent Rep. Robert Garcia about Dem investigations. “We've got to watch it very carefully. A lot of the threats that are being made, to me, give the appearance of impropriety that they may be crossing a line. I don't know. We can't evaluate that yet,” he told me. w/ @SyedahAsghar @MSNOWNews

But it’s totally ok for DOJ to do it … good for me, but not for thee is their mantra…
White House Counsel Will Scharf: "They can't investigate for the purpose of inflicting pain on governmental officials ... these are blatantly inappropriate uses of Congress's power ... we're ready to fight tooth and nail"

Coming soon to Collison’s mailbox … a subpoena!
NEWS: A senior member of Trump’s State Department was caught flying around the Mediterranean on a private jet paid for by Stripe billionaire Patrick Collison just one month after she was sworn in. God only knows what other favors billionaires are buying from this administration behind closed doors.

Just like DOJ does it, right?
White House Counsel Will Scharf: "I thought it was very, very important that just at the outset, we set the tone. If there's going to be an investigative process here, it should be a dignified, lawful investigative process."

First order of business will be appointing a new CEO who has credit with the street, investors, media, and Washington. Has to be someone along the lines of a Tim Cook.
Can someone explain the downstream effects of this decision?

2 for 2 …
HOUSE MINORITY WHIP KATHERINE CLARK's office sent out this note to members about the TCAVA vote: "After publicly announcing a recorded vote on TCAVA, House Republicans asked if RM Takano and Democrats would agree to last minute engrossment corrections. While RM Takano and staff were evaluating these changes away from the podium, House Republicans called the vote up and passed it by voice within minutes — depriving RM Takano of the ability to even evaluate the proposed changes and ask for a recorded vote so Members could vote against the biggest cut to veterans benefits in US history."

This aged well…
As the swirl continues (which I believe should be taken seriously), let’s pause for a moment and remember what Jensen has contributed to our industry with his determination and vision, which laid the foundation that we all work off of today. Jensen’s statements have shown grace and dignity to his family and the industry. He surely understands the impact. Now we should be patient and wait for investigations by the board of directors and any government authorities to conclude.

And did FBI/DOJ get read in and prisons FISA warrant to conduct surveillance on Huang …
Jensen Huang’s second affair will intensify the scrutiny on what Lutnick, Kessler and Nvidia’s general counsel did or did not know when the Commerce Department’s Megaspeed investigation was halted.

This is really important actually … what should’ve happened is the FBI/DOJ should’ve have gotten a FISA warrant for Huang under the auspices that she’s a foreign agent…@jahimes should immediately ask if that happened and if so, what’s the status of the investigation.
Soon-to-be @HouseIntel Chair @jahimes says the key Q in the NVIDIA saga is: “Whether the FBI undertook the intensive counterintelligence investigation that would’ve been called for in this case.”

Most of us have managed to avoid either ..
Sleeping with a Chinese spy is one thing, sleeping with your own employee is another.

Lutnick is next…
Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang, its founder and chief executive after he had two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy. - WSJ

They used the same OLD playbook - independent third party investigation, get allies to say how indispensable you are, then try to get back to business as usual - did not appreciate the gravity of the situation, let ego dictate decisions, did not act fast enough to contain the damage.
What a stunning fall from grace.

This was a masterclass in crisis comms fail. Let every company/ceo that’s on the Dem investigations list take note…this is how fast it can go south for you.

So much for “too big to fire” … let this be a lesson to all, on some level, everyone is dispensable … there is a limit to how much pain any company/shareholders are willing to tolerate …

I can help but think about the millions of dollars republicans spent on campaign ads about being tough on China …
