Not long after his daughter got into Stanford University with the help of a $6.5 million payment, Chinese pharmaceutical billionaire Zhao Tao met with President Trump to promote a key Beijing foreign-policy initiative. [The MSM never stops, does it? For those who don't know, the WSJ news section has always been center-left, or worse.]

$6.5 million for tuition is the real crime here!
Oh. So you were the one with the binkie on the Grassy Knoll?
It was a very deadly binkie.
Trump also met Madoff.

Democrat thought bubble:”Maybe a special prosecutor should be appointed to look into whether there was collusion.” The current Democrat line of thought seems to be their political opponents should be persecuted at every opportunity. Maybe it’s time the GOP reciprocated.
Actually I bet she’s going “Damn, if I had that kind of dough I could have got my kid into HARVARD!”
But unless you have a subscription you cannot read the entire story.
The Clintons would have demanded that $6.5 million (in cash) (in a briefcase) (delivered through the service entrance) for just meeting with him
Then they would have gifted him with some ultra-top secret military gizmo.
Yes, I agree. Anyone going after the colleges/universities as well??
They pay WSJ for WSJ news articles.
Many non-subscribers to WSJ would run into a pay wall if they used the WSJ link.
Did you notice the painting in the background? It’s a farmer sitting on his tractor clutching Mao’s “little red book”?
Tell me that is a coincidence.

I find this very concerning.
President Trump has a close association with a Chinese man who actually WANTED his daughter to attend Stanford.
Thanks for clearing that up. I typically will not grace MSN with my clicks.
But it makes sense that MSN would pay for this story. Their target audience would eat this story up.
It makes that accusation that Trump met with a billionaire that bought his daughter’s way in to a prestigious college (Trump probably helping).
Then later in the article the truth is suggested but not really spelled out that Trump was meeting with a prominent foreign businessman that is working to improve trade with his country. Something that is Trump's job and something that he does frequently.
If you don’t read past the first couple paragraphs, which many people do, you simply get the intended message that Trump is a member of the upper elite that help each other screw the little guy whenever they can.
and after that: Hitler once walked by a building that was later knocked down to build a Trump Tower
So the Chinese can bribe their kids’entry but not rich californians?
Right.
This is really getting absurd.
Colleges and universities have been giving favorable treatment to the families of big donors and those who hand over endowments for donkeys’ years. This isn’t anything new.

The only reason prosecutions of these college acceptance payment schemes are going ANYWHERE, is because the coach extorted the money, and not the college, itself. Wealthy people have been “donating” their unqualified kids into big name schools FOREVER. Nobody EVER goes after them. I spent 8 years of embarrassment over the utter ineptitude of speech and dearth of eloquence in George W. It was most apparent when his words would follow Tony Blair’s, at which time W. would basically resort to, “Huh...yeah...what HE said!” Yet this man was a graduate of YALE. There is NO WAY he earned his degree honestly. People say that about Trump, but Trump is able to get his point across, he just does so rather bluntly, with perhaps, an overabundance of adverbs (really, really, tremendous, so great, etc.)
W. could hardly put a sentence together.
