House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced Wednesday a broad investigation his committee would undertake "beyond Russia" into whether President Donald Trump's financial interests are driving his actions.

Schiff said the investigation would "allow us to investigate any credible allegation that financial interests or other interests are driving decision-making of the President or anyone in the administration." "That pertains to any credible allegations of leverage by the Russians or the Saudis or anyone else," Schiff told reporters after the House Intelligence Committee's first meeting in the new Congress. In a statement, Schiff said the investigation would include a continued probe into Russia's actions during the 2016 election and contacts between the Russia and Trump's team, as well as an examination of "whether any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates."

Schiff said the investigation, which could involve additional congressional committees, would also look at whether Trump or his associates have "sought to influence US government policy in service of foreign interests" and any potential obstruction into the various investigations.

Schiff's announcement is the most detailed look yet into how congressional Democrats will investigate Trump's finances and possible ties to foreign entities, and how Democrats are sure to continue probing Trump and his team well after special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation had concluded.

These investigations are metastasizing to be virtually infinite in scope, targets and duration. There appears no way to stop them from within the system and they simply sap away the life of the country. Maybe the Venezuelan model of a million people in the streets will need to happen to stop the cancer spreading in the US, either that or star chambers and death squads like in some of the beloved Latin American countries whose culture the Left is so rapidly importing.

Betting Trump has something on Schiff, because he is going all in on Trump. When he starts going down the drain, he can say Trump is behind it as retribution against him.

Now they're drawing a bead on President Trump's ability to apply tariffs.

Larry Kudlow Discusses the State of The U.S. Economy – While Decepticon Caucus Makes Anti-MAGA Moves…

Posted on February 7, 2019 by sundance

ACTION ALERT: The Decepticon caucus inside the senate, under the control of U.S. Wall Street’s primary CoC Lobbyist and Big Club President Tom Donohue, are assembling to launch a full frontal assault against President Trump’s trade policies. Seriously watch out for Senators Pat Toomey, Rob Portman and Ron Johnson:

Toomey said reining in Trump’s tariff powers also has strong backing from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable and dozens of other trade associations. “There’s clearly a lot of momentum, but only time will tell whether it’s enough to get over the goal line.” (link)

National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow appeared on Fox Business today to discuss President Trump’s State of the Union address and the Trump administration’s economic policies.

It appears that the House Democrats really are going to squander their brief opportunity to hold majority control of the House. A year and a half from now, having passed nothing substantial into law, their voters will abandon them.

This outcome is probably what President Trump has had in mind all along whenever he weighed the pros and cons of using his executive powers to try and snuff out the Mueller witch hunt.

Is the Mueller witch hunt and the Democrat obsession with RussiaGate really hurting the POTUS that much? I don’t think so - if this is what the House Democrats are going to spend their political capital on - if this is what the Democrat controlled committees are going to “work” on - maybe we are dodging legislative bullets.

Just think of the job-killing regulations and socialist wealth-redistribution schemes the progressive wing of the House could be advancing, were it not for their obsession with this imaginary Trump-Russia conspiracy.

Trump signaled during TSOU to little Adam that things can played from both sides. Revelations of Shifty motel night moves to tarnish his reputation.
