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.

OMG, this is a great idea!
Odd, how they are totally disinterested in the Clintons’ finances....

It is weird how they were very silent when hildabeast was SOS and her fake foundation was taking millions from Russia.
Oh never mind, that money was for the chirrens.
LMAO this is Little Adam Schitt’s admission that the Russian “collusion” witch hunt is a total failure.
He is so incredibly creepy with paranoid bug eyes, I laugh every time I see a photo of him. He’s an absolute buffoon.
This is why Trump will be reelected next year. The Democrats literally have no realistic agenda that stands a chance of being implemented by next year. This “investigation” is no surprise, the rats have been promising it. It doesnt matter. Theyll find nothing, just like Mueller. It will serve only to turn off moderate lefties (there are such things) and reinforce support with his base. After watching Nunes get stonewalled for the last 2 years by the Democrats, they surely cant believe the GOP is going to help them out in any way. A big waste of time is what these investigations will look like to the public by mid 2020. If the Dems dont get a platform up and running theyre toast again.
It means they have not found anything questionable so they must look elsewhere. There is no hint of a crime. This is purely a fishing expedition.
To quote a prominent leftist:
“HEY ADAM, GETCHO HAND OUT MY POCKET!”
Schiff’s retaliation for being kicked off the bus.
You can’t investigate someone who is not under investigation. And to investigate someone, you need probable cause.
Schiff is playing to the Trump hating knuckleheads. He is doing this because they are demanding it. It will get nowhere.
Each of these despicable democrats are known criminals. It is well past time to bring them to account for their crimes. Schiff is among them, as is Pelosi, Maxine, et al.
Plenty of them could, what you really want is someone who would. {:-)
Washington inherited all of Martha’s vast holdings from her deceased Parks husband, my ancestor. This made him the wealthiest landowner in the colonies.
Don’t you need evidence ?
Time to release the 60,000 ++= sealed indictments.
Scorch them down.
Actually, that was Tojo who said that. Yamamoto was supposed to have said, “I fear we have awaked a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve.”
Time to claim Executive privelage and tell all of them to go pound sand.
Challenge all subpoenas and adverse court rulings to SCOTUS.
F’em. No more cooperation.

It’s time for a Special Forces dude to “retire” Schiff.
