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.

Odd wording. If Fred loans Joe ten bucks I would not say Fred gave Joe a loan of ten bucks. Would say Fred loaned Joe 10 bucks. Whats with the "gave" part? If Joe told Fred to pay the ten bucks to Sue. Then I might say Fred gave the loan to Sue...but I dont think they meant it that way. Seens they were just trying to make it sound like a bribe rather than just speaking plainly
The effin Democrats know good, and well Trump’s divested himself of the activities of the Trump business. It’s all in the hands of his sons.
This accusation is BS, and the Dems know it. They are trying to sour as many of Trump’s supporters as they can.
They are desperately trying to make something up that will stick to the wall, and deem him done.

AUGUST 2015 : (RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DIPLOMATS MEET WITH ROUGHLY 30 DEMOCRATS [AL FRANKEN, AMY KLOBUCHAR, MICHAEL BENNET, CHRIS COONS, TAMMY BALDWIN,...] OVER OBAMA/KERRY IRAN DEAL) DATELINE August 2015——America’s in the throes of Hillary’s presidential aspirations (groan).
WASHINGTON DC […] Top diplomats from Russia and China joined a rare meeting of world powers’ envoys on Capitol Hill this week with roughly 30 Senate Democrats to tamp down concerns over Obama’s [Iran] nuclear agreement.
[…] During the meeting (which was confirmed to Foreign Policy magazine by an aide to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)), a number of Democrats expressed genuine confusion about how world powers would react if Congress rejected the [Iran] deal. […]
On Thursday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) alluded to the meeting […] Other lawmakers attending the briefing included Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Chris Coons of Delaware, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and others. ====================================
Oops. Democrat Sen McCaskill denies meeting Russians——McCaskill Tweets She Has Never Met or Called Russian Ambassador. But Past Tweets State Otherwise and so does this pic.

If Obama was dealing 100% the way Trump has been with China, the Dims would be applauding.
The “Russian” thing is running out of steam, or possibly heading to worse than just derailment, so the poor Dims have to dish up some new matter of their “concern” to keep the anti-Trump drums beating in the media that lies prostrate and submissive before them.
Can this be ignored like the Pubs were when Obastard was there?
How do you Cackle in Chinese?
