House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced a series of hires Tuesday, including a former prosecutor with experience combatting Russian organized crime to lead his investigation of the Trump Administration.
Daniel Goldman, who served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York from 2007 to 2017, joined the committee's staff as a senior adviser and the director of investigations in February.
Goldman oversaw prosecution against against more than 30 defendants involved in Russian organized crime for racketeering, gambling and money laundering during his time at the SDNY.
"I am excited to announce the recent addition of a number of capable individuals to the HPSCI leadership team, as we continue our important work of strong and effective oversight of the nation's intelligence agencies," Schiff said of the new hires in a statement.
"I look forward to working with them to perform important oversight and investigative work to ensure the security of our country and its institutions."
Goldman's hiring underlines Schiff's desire to pursue investigations into potential collusion between President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.
Schiff's committee concluded its investigation into Russian interference last year when it was controlled by Republicans, but Schiff and other Democrats have disputed that result.
Last month he announced a sweeping probe into Trump's potential ties to Russia, focusing on five key areas.
The areas are matters directly related to Russian interference; possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow; whether a foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage over Trump; whether Trump or anyone in his orbit are under foreign influence; and whether any actors are trying to "impede" or "obstruct" investigations into these matters.
Trump has denied any accusations of collusion, calling investigations a "witch hunt."
The Senate Intelligence Committee chairman has said Schiff's panel after two years of looking has yet to find direct proof of collusion.
Democrat sore-loserism is going to destroy the American Republic.
Who is paying this sorry shyster bastard? I hope the taxpayers aren’t on the hook for making Schitt’s shyster buddy rich.
More read meat for the base.
This is beyond ridiculous.
Need more woodchippers in D.C.
Is the Pope Catholic??
There has to be a way this is all paid for by the Democrat Party who is behind it all rather than the taxpayers. Even the Democrat taxpayers.
So Schiff, hires Goldman and both are working toward impeachment with Nadler. I expect a backlash, big time.
Have they not wasted enough money yet?
It is time to put half the House of Representatives and big parts of the Senate in Jail. So they understand that justice is a two way street!
Wait till you see the prosecutor for Schiff’s treason trial.
More read meat for the base.

That is the *only* thing that matters with these Congressional lifers. They really don’t have any intention of solving anything. The play for them is continuous conflict on pet issues. And the same goes for the bastard Republicans (e.g. see “repealing Obamacare”).
Last month he announced a sweeping probe into Trump’s potential ties to Russia.
Not going to end well Fox news has recording of Schiff talking with Russian collusion ensues.

Investigate Shiff and Buck.
Free speech, gun rights, free association, lawyer/client privilege, presumption of innocence until proven guilty, right to self-defense etc. All hanging-on by a thread.
Democrats will burn the United States to the ground to gain power.
One day they're going to storm the National Archives and burn the US Constitution.
Schiff and intelligence dont belong in the same sentence.
“So Schiff, hires Goldman and both are working toward impeachment with Nadler. I expect a backlash, big time.”
I would love for Barr to meet with his best friend Mueller and ask him to be special counsel for investigating collusion between Schiff/GPS and the Clinton campaign to steal the election from Trump.
That would be fun to watch.
The Rats are butthurt that the Mueller witch hunt went nowhere. So they are opening up Congressional witch hunts.
A fishing expedition. Nothing more.
Trump voters see exactly what this is.
