Rep. Adam Schiff said Tuesday that the Chinese business deal linked to President Trump’s properties was a violation of the Emoluments Clause.
“I certainly view this as a violation of the Emoluments Clause,” Mr. Schiff, California Democrat, said on CNN.
Mr. Trump tweeted on Sunday that he wanted federal officials to help get the Chinese phone company ZTE back into business after U.S. penalties threatened to shut the business down, according to The Hill. The Huffington Post reported that it was only 72 hours later that a Chinese company offered a $500 million loan to an Indonesia construction project associated with Mr. Trump’s company.

It sounds like Schiffty has given up on the Russki “collusion” fiasco. Looking for something else. Keep looking Bugsy. There has to be something out there somewhere.

Schiff is a typical Democrat. No talent. No integrity. Willing to do anything and say anything to advance himself and his party (in that order - with country coming way down the list), and with a personality that makes him an irritant and unlikely to be successful outside of politics - where being a weenie is tolerated and even promoted.

As a part of my company’s security consulting efforts, I met with the US board of a China industrial bank that has offices in Trump Tower.
I guess that makes me part of the “collusion”.

So only parasites who derive all their income from government are allowed to be POTUS.
Glad we cleared that up.

It seems to me that the phone company had its products banned because of a security problem. I guess the demonicrats love security problems.

The conspirator Schiff must be indicted and detained as a flight risk pending his military trial.

Yep. He’s a typical example of an insane lib. Liberalism rots their brains (what little they had) out and causes these visions and pretensions. They cannot comprehend, or even cope with, reality. NEVER let a lib near the levers of govt for this is an example of what destructive insanity brings. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he wasn’t an outright MK-ULTRA zombie.
