There's going to be many sleepless nights for T-rump starting on January 3, 2019, when the new House of Representatives convene.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said in an interview this morning that Democrats will investigate President Donald Trump's financial ties to Saudi Arabia as part of a "deep dive" on the kingdom when majority control of the House changes hands in January.

"There are a whole set of potential financial conflicts of interest and emoluments problems that Congress will need to get to the bottom of," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told reporter Greg Sargent. "Certainly if foreign investment in the Trump businesses is guiding U.S. policy in a way that's antithetical to the country's interests, we need to find out about it."

T-rump has repeatedly denied any financial ties to Saudi Arabia, yet he had bragged on the campaign trail he has made 'millions of dollars' from the Saudis. And according to a Washington Post report, the revenue from Saudi customers have kept his namesake hotels afloat this past year in Chicago, New York and Washington.

To think they called Obama a terrorist sympathizer and founder of ISIS when most of ISIS came from within the Saudi borders, and we're now selling them weapons like never before.

The House is guaranteed to find even more violations of the emoluments clause. Not sure what they'll be able to do with it, but Carter wasn't even allowed to have a peanut farm. Presidents are either supposed to liquidate their assets or put them in a blind trust, and Trump has done neither.

It's amusing to know that Republicans have chosen to look the other way on all of this. Do they really think voters will forget when 2020 rolls around? We didn't forget this year and we certainly won't forget in 2020.

The problem is that just a few days ago the media reported Trump's ludicrous solution to devastating fires being raking the forest.

And for a minute, the media was focused on Ivanka's emails.

Before that, we were talking about an American resident, a journalist, murdered by this ally of Jared & Donald.

This is the whiplash administration.

And the corporate media is loving the click bait & IGNORING THE REAL SCANDALS!

Since the GOP tax cut, the stock market is down about 300 points & Wall Street has increased risky lending. Since the GOP tax cut, they're talking about cuts to Social Security & Medicare.

Pay attention to what they do.

And why they do it. We need to follow the money.

When the Dems take over Congress there will be a REAL investigation of Trump's finances. REMEMBER! Trump has repeated "There is no collusion" over a thousand times. But there have been EIGHTY known contacts between the Trump family, aids & associates & at least 25 in-person meetings with Russians AT THE SAME TIME that Russia was attacking the US.

And that's just Russia.

Trump & Kushner ties to Saudi Arabia are bloody now.

And NO ONE looks weaker than blowhard Trump licking up what the Saudi prince ejaculated about Khasoggi: "well, he TOLD me he wasn't with another woman . . ."
