The committee is looking to hire money-laundering and forensic accounting experts, three sources familiar with the plans confirm to The Daily Beast. One Democratic committee office said the purpose of the potential new hires is to examine unanswered financial questions about Trump and Russia, but their work could apply broadly across the panel’s intelligence oversight.
This indicates that likely chairman Adam Schiff’s stated interest in the intersection of financial crimes and intelligence threats isn’t just talk.
Schiff, a California Democrat, has said publicly and privately that he’s interested in President Donald Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank, the German financial giant that has been scorched for its connections to money-laundering. When other lenders were loath to lend money to Trump in the 1990s, Deutsche Bank stepped up and spotted him tons of cash. The president may still owe the bank up to $175 million, according to MarketWatch. Bringing on staffers with expertise in financial crimes would position the committee to pursue those questions.
LMAO..Oh please. The IC isn't a law enforcement agency.
No, but it has the power to investigate anything they choose. If something criminal is found, it's turned over to the Justice Dept., and then the law decides to proceed or not.
It will be real interesting to see what is underneath when the rock of Trump's finances gets turned over. Because he sure has been resisting letting anything be revealed.

Trump's finances will not be turned over.
The House can do whatever they like, and I'm sure they will. It won't matter. Trump will ignore what should be ignored and continue with the business of being President.
FWIW, I would do the same as Trump - no one is going to look at my finances except the IRS. It's not a requirement of the office and I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't let my finances out either, if I had something to hide. If I had nothing to hide, I would do it and get this whole mess finished once and for all.
Go ahead keep poking the bull....when ya get the horn we all know the democrats will squeel like little girls....I can't wait for President Trump to start releasing and unclassifying stuff that will throw the democrats for a loop. They were already warned this harassment won't go unchallenged.
Calling this “harassment” after the 8 years of endless hearings on Obama/Clinton is pretty rich in irony.

typical stupidity of the average american who doesnt understand their constitutional rights.

So I guess that Trump also was stupid and didn't understand his constitutional rights when he kept promising over and over that he would release his tax returns when he was campaigning. Or was that just another one of his empty promises?
No matter what, it will be interesting to see how this plays out for Trump. He certainly seems to be squirming more and more.
