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.

Ok. China? Fertile ground.

Charlie Trie, Loral Space transfer of encryption technology to China, Bill Clinton reelection campaign. Time to investigate Biden’s son’s connection to China.

Be careful what you wish for.

We no longer have two ‘American’ political parties with somewhat different platforms. We have an anti-American party, and a ‘sometimes’ pro-American party.

Unlike the Harry Reid, the Clinton’s and the Obama’s, Donald Trump made his money BEFORE he moved to Washington D.C.

To tell you the truth.

China China China, makes a whole heck of a lot more sense as an agenda, than Russia Russia Russia.

For the entire last generation and a half, we have been completely sold out to China.

Completely.

The way things are going with the democrats, one can expect them to ask for a special counsel to investigate Trump collusion with American businesses and American taxpayers. What else could it be if not collusion to give tax cuts to individuals and businesses, in exchange for their votes?

Worst of all is that, if the tax cuts and reductions of regulations causes the economy to grow and more jobs to be created, the democrats might end up becoming irrelevant in future elections, which could be easily construed (by democrats) as an attempt to eliminate the opposition points of view, IOW: their right to exist. COLLUSION in the highest degree!!! Impeach Trump for trying to destroy democrats. Where is Maxine Waters?!?

(It’s the only thing they got, and they’re desperate).

Russian collusion, possible affairs, the even more ridiculous child trafficking claim, now China? Who's next? Iran? South Africa? Let's spin the wheel of leftist-democrat desperation because oh excrement, President Trump's policies are actually working. America is getting stronger, people are prospering with the 'rats... The fear radiating off the dems is palpable.

Hey 'rats, remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? Just sayin'...

Would have been nice if someone in Congress had taken an interest in the Clintons selling top secret defense technology to the Chinese.

Would have been nice if someone in Congress had taken an interest in Hillary selling influence to all buyers (and uranium to the Russians) when she was Secretary of State.

Would have been nice if someone in Congress had taken an interest when 0bama and Hillary and Kerry were arming and funding terrorists.

Etc.

OK, now that Russia, Russia, Russia!!! has played itself out, the Dems are going to start with China, China, China!!!

I suppose that once that also ends up with nothing, they’re going to start investigating Trump’s relationship with Melania.

I hope that some Republican one day soon says to Mule Face: “Have you no decency?”
