A column this week by former Defense Secretary James N. Mattis that blasted President Trump’s “America First” theme did not disclose that Mr. Mattis holds a senior position at the Cohen Group, a firm that dedicates itself to making business deals in China.
Mr. Trump’s get-tough approach toward China — tariffs and prohibitions on Beijing’s cyberproducts — is generally counter to the Cohen Group’s objective of bringing Chinese and U.S. companies together in multimillion dollar deals.
The Cohen Group, founded by former Defense Secretary William Cohen and staffed by a number of former high-ranking government and military leaders, has two of its four overseas offices in China.

Mad Money Mattis, doing his Kung Flu masters biding?
(I always viewed Cohen as a hustler, so that was no surprise. Mattis was a different matter.)

He was too good to be true. As for his being a Marine, there are Marines….and then there are Marines. We support the traditional ones who fought for their flag and country and were loyal to both. Mattis is clearly an outlier. You could plug him into any big organization; nothing special.

Doggone traitor. If ever there were a time to call a Marine an ex-marine, this and pretty much everything else he's done to betray this nation and the USMC would qualify. He should be defrocked.

I never trusted Mattis after I saw that he was a big investor and promoter of the Theranos blood testing machine fraud. He may be a good soldier but he's not a very good judge of character or truth.

Mattis, like a lot of former D.C. poobahs, was dazzled by the promise of a big payoff if Theranos went public. The fact that Elizabeth Holmes excelled in playing up to old men helped as well. I see he's still chasing the big bucks, only this time from China.

No, No, No, No General. that is conduct unbecoming an officer and the worst part of it is: you screwed one of your most faithful followers who is not in the Corps. you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Mattis is one strange duck, especially for a US Marine, who recently claimed that US foreign policy going forward should not include putting America first.

Now we know why Mattis does not support America First. He's in the back pocket of his Chinese masters. He's not a general. He's a traitor.

It's really too bad that Mattis has not only stained his reputation, but also that of the USMC.

The only one in Washington not feathering his own nest appears to be President Trump. Aligning yourself with, and promoting, Chinese interests seems all the rage. Since we've stopped executing traitors, treason appears to be in high fashion now.
