More than 60 Dem lawmakers demand ethics investigation into Trump's relationship with China
By Mary Tyler March - 05/27/18 01:20 PM EDT

More than 60 Democratic representatives are demanding an ethics investigation into President Trump's ties to China, following the president's recent push to rescue Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE.

Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) posted a letter to David Apol, acting head of the federal government's ethics office, to Twitter on Sunday, stating that the request was prompted by Trump "advocating" for ZTE just days after the Chinese government gave one of the president's business endeavors a $500 million loan.

In the letter, lawmakers say the business dealing between the Trump Organization and China may have violated U.S. laws forbidding public officials from accepting payments or gifts from foreign entities without Congress's approval.

"The Chinese government's loan provides a clear financial benefit to President Trump," the letter reads. "Despite the nearly unanimous recommendation by legal experts that he divest from his business interests before assuming the presidency, he failed to do so, instead placing his adult children in charge of day-to-day operations."

Oh shut the hell up! We're not doing that witch hunt thing again. After China, they will want to 'investigate' Trump's collusion with Latvia. If they get away with this stupid China thing, it will never stop.

With existing global businesses and an expectation they be able to continue normal operations [minus Donald Trump], can anyone point out any affect on official issues before President Trump regarding China, that indicate any difference from campaign pledges? Any alteration in policy, changes in direction or in actions that would seem to benefit the Chinese at the expense of Americans? If there is, I ain’t seeing it.

You guys all understand why we don't investigate former Presidents right?
Why we don't release information until they are dead....?
