As usual, Democrats, be careful which cans you're opening.
I am really bothered by this but I believe the other side of the aisle is no different.
I believe if they dig deep enough they will find questionable items. After all he is in so many deals and I would think pushes the limits on what is acceptable.
But that doesn't justify looking without any legitimate basis. I believe the basis currently used in these committees is we hate President Trump and are sure he is evil.

Gee, you might even get one or two morally and ethically endowed people running for office that manage to remain that way for a full term.
Would be nice.

It's so cute how some people seem to think that anyone would be bothered by everyone in D.C. having to disclose all of their dirty dealings.

Air it all out I say and let the chips fall where they may.

None of them should be above this sort of scrutiny.

Which why Trump's foundation was shut down and he is longer allowed to legally have one. His fans never acknowledge this fact.

The Mueller investigation turned up all kinds of evidence pointing to illegal activity, Congress is merely following up on it while the investigations are going on in other jurisdictions.

Many have.

The crackdown commenced on August 27, 2013 when Las Vegas Sands agreed to pay $47.4m to avoid federal charges for failing to report suspicious gambling transactions by an alleged drug kingpin from China.

In September 2015, U.S. and Nevada regulators fined Caesars Entertainment Corp. $9.5m for deficient anti-money laundering (AML) controls at its operations in Asia and Las Vegas.

From 1998 to August 2013, there were four fines totaling about $3m for AML violations, according to Kacy Drury, who is a senior vice president at Everi, an AML compliance, slots manufacturer and payments company in Las Vegas.

In less than four years since the Las Vegas Sands settlement, gambling regulators in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia have levied fines totaling $210m on casinos for failing to comply with AML guidelines, Drury said.

Anyone who thinks that there is no reason to pursue this has blinders on.

Did the Muellar investigation point to anything that justifies this? Maybe I don't know but if you do could you point it out?

By whomever has the authority. The House has the authority. New York has the authority. Feds have the authority.
