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.

Yamamoto’s observation was probably based on Japan’s experience in China. There was a domestic small arms industry due to embargo and warlords needing weapons, and guerilla warfare killed tens of thousands of Japs.
Yamamoto also knew America well and no doubt regarded the nation as awash in guns.
Nowadays he might observe “there will be a pistol in every citizen’s pocket. Occupation will be a very hazardous undertaking for our soldiers.”
Why don’t these bubbleheads do their REAL jobs? There is NO crime there and they are attempting to mask their own evils.
Leaker, liar Adam Schiff, is abusing his power to ramp up investigations into President Trump and his family/associates. That’s the it of it.
The Dems are going to squander the next two years on childish rants.
2020 and a RNCt congress is going to flip the script and do the same thing to Clinton and Obama foundations exposing dual pay-to-play and extortion. Schiff better hope he doesn’t also get investigated.
Liddle Adam & the Standard Hotel.
I've said that many times. However, I think a better response is: I DON'T REMEMBER; I DON'T RECALL; I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THAT. It worked for crooked Hillary and lying Comey almost countless times.
There is no way any investigator or institution can prove you DON'T REMEMBER. They will play their mind games with newly re-phrased questions for entrapment, just don't add anything to I DON'T RECALL. When they ask how can you not remember such an important event/ matter, "I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THAT."
Also, don't make any opening statement if you're going to claim the 5th!! Claim it right off and repeat it for every question. Nothing more!
Well. there’s the photos of Adam Schitt with RAT donor Ed Buck, the homosexual who killed two different black male prostitutes after injecting them with speed.
And then there’s those pedo rumors....
Intelligence and Schitt in the same sentence. No way.

"And because the Entertainment Industry is one of the largest job creators in the region and an economic powerhouse, Schiff is a leader on efforts to combat intellectual property theft and piracy. He is a founder and co-chair of the International Creativity and Theft-Prevention Caucus, a bipartisan group of House and Senate lawmakers dedicated to working with America’s international trade partners to secure the enactment of strong copyright laws and the vigilant enforcement of those laws.": Biography: Congressman Adam Schiff
This sounds like a clear 4th amendment violation. Secure in you papers (etc.).
lol
Isn’t there laws against fishing expeditions?
31 responses before anyone states the obvious. ..geez
Simple solution: Ignore subpoenas. Ignore questions. Tell the committee you don’t recognize its authority.
Just keep in mind, Adam, that Haman was hung on the very gallows he had built to hang Mordecai on.
That is assuming the GOP has any clue what is going on.
They are still scared that voters will find out McCain and Graham were involved in the FISA coverup
Keep it up, stupid party Dims.
If you can’t figure out that your own base...at least half of your base....doesn’t care about or want this Russia/investigate Trump Schifft to continue?
Think Caine Mutiny and the strawberry incident.
When you have nothing, you go back to your one real achievement, the strawberry incident
