House intelligence panel hires former racketeering and organized crime prosecutor to run Trump probe

By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow March 5 at 1:23 PM The House Intelligence Committee has hired a former federal prosecutor with a history of trying securities fraud, racketeering and international organized crime to lead its investigation of President Trump’s alleged ties to Russia, the panel announced Tuesday.

Schiff has long promised to focus the committee’s efforts on questions of money laundering, financial leverage foreign entities might have over Trump and his businesses, and whether Trump sought to use his political and presidential contacts to improve his own bottom line, during the campaign and since becoming president.

In the meantime, the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees teamed up to demand materials pertaining to Trump’s contacts with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin, while the House Financial Services Committee’s chairwoman, Rep. Maxine Waters , said last week that she expects Deutsche Bank will cooperate in that panel’s probe of how Trump allegedly sought to secure certain loans.

11_ddonna Totally Delusional and in Denial!!!

Adam Schiff & Jerry Nadler are bullying POTUS, his family, & everyone associated with him. They are acting solely on Abuse of Power & endless investigations. Like the Russian Collusion accusations endless investigations will also fail. All this will help Trump to win in 2020.

Gangster vs gangster..wow

Land of the free and disgusting PresidentialHarassment DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

But...but...but, I though Mueller's team was going to uncover all these financial crimes by Trump? They did for Manafort. There's nothing there, this is just an attempt to keep the WitchHunt going.

Am reading AndrewMcCabe's TheThreat. It is a real shame that he is now on Trump's PublicEnemy list. He would be the perfect person to run this probe for the Democrats. He is an expert in Russian Mobs & RICO. His book is brilliant. He sets the table for why TrumpIsATraitor.

Good way to waste money. Start investigating the slush fund

THAT'S what I'm talkin about!

Organized crime is what Trump ran

The more professional eyes on No45's and Trump Inc's links to Russia and project 'funding' the better. But prepare world. The brighter the investigative light that shines on Donald Trump's various 'affairs', the more aggressive his back-to-the wall tweeting is likely to be.

Probe is another word for fishing expedition because there is no evidence currently. This nonsense is costing us millions in taxpayer money just being spread around DC like confetti...

I always new Mr Trump recklessness would pose major threat to his presidency, family, and business.

Trump reminds me Jimmy Hoffa and doj wars during 1970s on mafia links Mr huffa faced huge legal problems on multiple fronts that later brought him down Mr Trump fighting multiple fronts now and it's only matters of time before incriminating evidence would cause his demise.

Russian prosecutor is colluding with DNC to prove collusion between Trump and Russia.

there goes another $50Million in nothing burger

The House Intelligence panel is disgraceful.

Now we are getting somewhere.

Great choice!

Adam Schiff is a member of the illegal lobbying group J Street. First Amendment of J Street states that all members are loyal to Israel. That makes Adam Schiff a recruited Spy, working for the State of Israel rather than America.....and that makes Daniel Goldman...a Spy as well.

Ask the Special Council and SDNY for hire suggestions?

It’s time to hold this administration accountable to America for potential abuse for personal profits and violations of the laws of our country! Let the chips fall where they may! No man is above the law, including the President & his family & friends. We are a country of laws!!

Good!

Okay..Adam B. Schiff is Jewish Mob, fishing for a connection of trump and Russia, where there is none. Now Schiff hires Goldman to go after Trump and 'find' evidence. What ? You couldn't find a nonjewish prosecutor to appoint? or did they all have integrity to NOT take the job?

This is a taste of FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVE DEM Socialism/Communism. America's Freedoms, Judicial system & Laws are under attack.DEMS do NOT RESPECT America's Privacy Laws & American's Individual Freedoms.Its the FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVE DEM SOCIALIST PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY

HialeahTbreed Right now Trump & his lawyers are digging up all the info possible on Dan Goldman. Seeing if there is any dirt. They are also trying to see if he can be bought? How much will it take? What kind of offer can they make? Don't take this lightly. This is how they work!

ABUSE OF POWER BY TheDemocrats .. EnemyOfThePeople JerryNadler SpeakerPelosi AdamSchiff

... and Muller keeps watching

An attorney for Michael Cohen raised the possibility of a pardon with attorneys for the president and his company after federal agents raided Mr. Cohen’s properties. COHEN'S ATTORNEY WAS TOLD TO TAKE A HIKE. IT PROVES COHEN HAS NOTHING ON TRUMP. COHEN LIED ABOUT THIS.

The Trump witch hunt sustained by overzealous dems will be turning even moderate Trump dislikers in his favour...

Could've used this team, they know where to look 😂

Hmm, sounds like Schiff thinks someone may have done the RICO! Paging Popehat

What a bunch of ignorant politicians. Now you think the Mueller didn’t know what he was doing? He had full power to investigate anything to do with Trump. Schiff is such a joker. Still waiting for collusion proof you promised.

Sounds like exactly what they need👈🇺🇲

How much $$$?

Why isn’t House judiciary hiring outside experts?

They should use RICO on Obama’s misfits that used their government positions to try & overthrow a duly elected President w/ a Russian Collusion Hoax drummed up by the FBI/DOJ/CIA & the DNC. Time for a real investigation that will restore the above agencies of their misdeeds.

Still upset Clinton Machine lost

Woohoo!! RICOact Part 1 Things are only getting better!

How much of my money is the government going to waste on stupid hearings that go nowhere?

riwired If thumpers had a thought process, it would be to ask, if they didn't have a case then why the RICO treatment? But in the fantasy world, the abuser is the victim...

Dems spend all their time hating Trump trying to find a crime. yawn

Who knew we’d have a RICO/mobbed up president? Thanks deplorables.

danielsgoldman is a great choice, RepAdamSchiff We like to hear his spin on MSNBC. Glad you have chosen the best to do our work. Thank you.

God bless America 🇱🇷🇱🇷

Very appropriate.

LoL!

Well the Trumps are a crime family ! Goo thinking !

Wow when trump admin hired a news contributor all hell broke loose.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍿

Daniel S. Goldman, an NBC News and MSNBC Legal Analyst. Works for John Brennan. Conflict of interest much?

I don’t get it, so more collusion, no something else? Isn’t there a special prosecutor doing the same thing? There should be a way for us taxpayers to get our money back for this bs

love watching american heroes be born

Sounds about right!
