I think it was a division of GE, not GE in it's entirety. They make F16 jet engines among other things. The sale was to a Chinese Company that the State department blacklisted but they were going to say eff you and do it anyway. Thereby defying a federal law forbidding the sale of military technology to a foreign agitator (paraphrasing that) She had the info so that the "inquiries" from congress that would inevitably happen could be controlled.

The Pakistani location that went dead that night didn't just suffer loss of electricity. it was a total wipe of comms. The sale didn't happen.
