"SNIP....

“The House intelligence committee’s incoming Democratic majority is taking its first steps to follow Donald Trump’s money,” the Daily Beast reports.

“The committee is looking to hire money-laundering and forensic accounting experts… 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.”

Team Mueller just released eight Investigators whom specialized in Financial Auditing or Forensic Auditing. If these folks move to the House Committee,talk about hitting the ground running. Mr. Schiff is going to rip the Trump Crime Syndicate apart by Spring Time.

Golly Gee Whiz!

Mueller has resources and experts far superior to anything the House Intelligence committee could ever have. If there is something there Mueller will find it.

Despite predictions every week that he would be for almost 2 years now. Do you really think Mueller is hiding something for fear he will be fired?

"House is a different branch of government with different powers" Um, Yes, and that different branch of government has no power to bring criminal charges. Um, only the Executive branch can. So unless you think Mueller is incompetent, or worse, he is covering up something, what is the point?

It has been predicted for almost 2 years now. Is Mueller hiding things he is finding for fear he will be fired or "stopped dead"?

BTW, no, Mueller can't be "stopped" at this point. The investigation has gone on way too far for that to happen. Whatever he has found will be public.
