investigate trump, but not elected officials?
It's alright that the media investigates Donald J. Trump's transitioning/dissolving/blind trusting etc. his private businesses before taking office as POTUS.
But to be equal, they should investigate elected officials who did not withdraw their votes from any measure or bill proposed or pending they had a personal or private interest in.
Just in Colorado alone, there are elected officials, former and present, who use their positions and taxpayers $'s to unjustly benefit (self-enrich).
But they've yet to be investigated.
Why?
Here's Colorado's Voting Recusal Provisions...What's your state's?
