One of the things surprised me most about the Dem-led House is how *much* time and leeway they gave @realdonaldtrump to answer questions about his personal finances.

When he stonewalled them, they didn't have time to force his hand.
One of @realdonaldtrump’s lifelong tactics is exploiting honor systems— places where ppl follow rules b/c of tradition or social pressure, not b/c they’re forced to.
Trump breaks the rules & gains an extra step.
But some House Dems still seemed puzzled when he did it to them!
One example: Trump’s DC hotel. The US govt ***owns the building.***
Yet House Dems have learned almost nothing about what’s happened there. They sent letters with questions, got nothing, had no plan B ready. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
