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.

The Democrats should review the folk tale THE BOY THAT CRIED WOLF.

By now they have pretty much inoculated President Trump from any crime or scandal.

New charges are celebrated by those that hate the President and ignored by everyone else.

How do you get AIDS of the ear? By listening to too many Assholes. Shitff certainly in this category.

>>”associated with” Mr. Trump’s company.”
What does that even mean?<<

Stayed at a Trump hotel once. Even worse he ordered Chinese food but had Russian dressing on his salad.

They have him dead to rights!

Hey Adam you are guilty of conspiracy, sedition and treason. We are coming to get you !

Emoluments Clause has a “harm” clause. There is no harm to getting ZTE back on track. Just the opposite it seems.

Democrat Schiff has his political career tied up in Mueller finding a Russian in Trump's closet. Schiff went on TV 227 times to milk the story. Schiff told ABC News Sunday: “Indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate the Russian connection......if a foreign government…has something that they can hang over the head of our president that can influence U.S. policy, it is very much in our national security interest to know it.”

===========================================

MEMO TO CONG SCHIFF: You advanced the discredited Russian bunk, as low-level office help....spies working in your Congressional offices.....accessed US govt-issue computers teeming w/ sensitive intel involving the safety and security of Americans.

Cong Schiff, your House Intelligence Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence

• Central Intelligence Agency

• Defense Intelligence Agency

• Department of Defense

• Department of Energy

• Department of Homeland Security

• Department of Justice

• Department of State

• Department of Treasury

• Drug Enforcement Administration

• Federal Bureau of Investigation

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

• National Reconnaissance Office

• National Security Agency

• Office of Naval Intelligence

• Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency

• United States Army Intelligence and Security Command

• United States Coast Guard Intelligence

• Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

===============================================================

Democrats noticed nothing ---as the IT staff back-doored Congressional computers to siphon off classified security intel. The IT staff then absconded, hustled out of sight.......shockingly given visas while under criminal investigation.

Martha Raddatz of ABC News was completely unprofessional for not asking you about the Capitol Hill breach.

Emoluments Clause has a “harm” clause.

The Constitution is also quite specific WRT where those emoluments cannot come from, that is, the Federal and/or State Governments ONLY. Schiff is a moron.

[Hyman Roth]

IE : The Muh Russia is dead. Now back to this. LOL Schiff for Brains is a dolt.

[cweese]

"Schiff is a perfect example of an abject idiot with pretensions of grandeur."

The old Dunning-Kruger effect.

[Cheerio]

[SERKIT]

[Magnatron]

This is idiotic. It would like Trump saying he wants to help Ford get on its feet, then works with Citibank to get a loan for a property. What the hell do the two have to do with each other except reside in the same country?

Schiff is a freakin’ moron.

[jazusamo]

Love those Schiff shoes. lol

[Political Junkie Too]

Somebody should ask Schiff if George Washington violated the emoluments clause whenever his wheat farms made deals with buyers.

ZTE may have something to do with North Korea talks

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Ol’ Bugeyes is sniffin’ him out some corruption!

[DoughtyOne]

I’m so proud of my Congressman.

Gak! Hack spit! Rinse repeat...

[Right Wing Assault]

This guy (and I guess a lot of leftists) is the same as those scavengers who dig through people's garbage cans to see what they find out about them. This is his full-time job.

[jazusamo]

LOL! I’ve noticed before you’ve said he’s you Congressman and I keep forgetting, my sympathies. :^)
