Something is fishy with Obamas Treasury secretary, Jacob J Lew.

 

If Obama and Hillary sold out to the Chinese and their plan was to weaken America by destroying foundries, metal production, ship building and infrastructure (via metal quality, electrical equipment etc), then Jacob is knee deep in it.

 

He is rabidly anti-trump, especially in regards to imports and tax cuts.

 

Need to check Treasury employees who stayed at or close to Grand Hyatt Chongquin in 2016/17, there were a number of events hosted at the embassy.

The last stand of Congress’s Never Trump brigade

 

Some of President Trump’s loudest Republican critics are asserting themselves during their final weeks in Congress, as the GOP prepares to usher in a class of lawmakers poised to show stronger support for the White House.

 

One defiant Republican is seeking to protect the special counsel investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, another wants to toughen U.S. policy toward Saudi Arabia, and a third is warning that embracing Trump is perilous for the future of the Republican Party.

 

The moves amount to a last gasp from a wing of the GOP that has been unable steer the party away from Trump during the first two years of his presidency and will see its ranks diminished in the next Congress. The shifting dynamic reflects Trump’s dominance in the party and the marginalization of dissenting voices, even after a disappointing midterm election for Republicans in which Democrats won back the House.

 

Some Republican activists who do not like Trump have expressed frustration at his enduring command in the party. Fergus Cullen, a former New Hampshire Republican Party chairman, said he was hopeful that Trump critics like himself would be on the right side of history, but that “history is moving really slowly right now.”

 

It’s unclear who, if anyone, will emerge as the leader of the Republican resistance to Trump next year on Capitol Hill. Sens. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Rep. Will Hurd (R-Tex.) have spoken out when they have disagreed with the president. Flake said he believes Sen.-elect Mitt Romney of Utah will be willing to call out the president when he thinks he is wrong.

 

But Romney has not been as sharply critical of Trump as he once was, and the political risks of developing a reputation for challenging the president are as acute as ever.

 

“I’m still hoping the party is going to come back to its senses one day, but I don’t see it happening in the near term,” said Cullen.
