The worst part is he spirit has been crushed; he can no longer work for fear of irrational and frankly random political views and actions detrimental to his health, his research, and his family. If he is to continue and regain an amount of his former life, I wager it can only occur after leaving the USA permanently.

Honestly, this is the type of response someone in the government (which?) would possibly pay good money for to mislead the prossecution – sounds like a good spy vs. spy movie except it's not funny.

He'll probably move to a top-20 research university in Europe if he doesn't stay at MIT. (I sure wouldn't.)

We're talking about the former head of MIT's mech eng department here, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an academician of Academia Sinica. The "necessary pedigree and web of connections to really kick ass" at research don't come from your parents; they come from your advisor and your research. His advisor was Chang-lin Tien, the Chancellor at Berkeley.

Your insulting comment is shameful and does not belong on this site.

He’s tenured, why would he leave MIT? Has there been any indication the university didn’t support him?
