Turning a blind eye

How can Congress ignore obvious appearances of impropriety by members of this administration of using their positions for personal profit? Rogue Chinese company ZTE was sanctioned, by the U.S., basically out of business. Then Trump received a half-billion-dollar backing for his Indonesian project by a Chinese government business, and Ivanka got seven new trademarks from the Chinese government. Suddenly Trump changes course and sets out to save ZTE.

Jared Kushner’s family was turned down by Qatar for an approximate $500,000 real estate loan. Shortly thereafter the president’s son-in-law lobbied within the White House for an Arab blockade of Qatar, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson opposed the action. Kushner won the battle to punish one of our strongest Gulf State allies.

The appearance of impropriety is overwhelming and needs investigating. I would like to know why our congressmen are turning a blind eye to potentially illegal shenanigans. ED HUDNALL
