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.

Between this, and the "Child Trafficking!" allegation, the panicked frenzy of the Dems is reaching a fevered pitch in the last week or so.

Nothing is really getting traction, so this makes me think that perhaps some high-level Democrat arrests are imminent??

Fingers Crossed! I want these people OBLITERATED! I want the Socialist Democrat Party to be a *BLIP* on the Radar Screen of History!

Yep. I’m mean that way - like a Junkyard Dog! ;)

Is there any doubt that this is in response to the resolution calling for a special counsel investigating Crooked Hillary and the cabal of criminals that acted to protect her.

I guess it’s now Chinese Collusion.

I can’t wait until it’s collusion with Antarctica!

I think I’ll get this info to Maxine Waters.

If they called for an ethics investigation into McConnell and his wife’ ties to the Chinese shipping companies, I’d be on board with that.

You need a program booklet to keep up with all this stuff...

...or a computer database.

Of course, then the Russians would just steal it all.
