That Russia thing not having worked out, the Dems try, try again.
ZitatMore 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.
"The Chinese government's loan provides a clear financial benefit to President Trump," the letter reads. "Despite the nearly unanimous recommendation by legal experts that he divest from his business interests before assuming the presidency, he failed to do so, instead placing his adult children in charge of day-to-day operations."
Pretty soon we will see stories and commentaries treating these allegations as fact. Only thing is I suspect this could well back fire as people are going to get sick of the Dems yelling, "Wolf".

Yeah now that the Russian "probe" has proved fruitless they're well trained on how to further story lines by fake dossiers and anonymous sourced innuendo.
Will the American people ever recognize this blight on our democracy?
"60 Democrat lawmakers"? Wow crazy travels in packs with the dems. TM
