House Intelligence chairman voices concern Mueller's scrutiny of Trump's finances isn't adequate

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee expressed concern Sunday that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has not adequately scrutinized President Trump’s finances and said House investigators plan to probe Trump’s relationship with a bank implicated in Russian money laundering.

“We are not interested in our committee in whether he’s a tax cheat or not worth what he says he is,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) said in an appearance on the NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “What we are interested in is, does the president have business dealings with Russia such that it compromises the United States?”

In particular, Schiff said the House panel plans to investigate Trump’s two-decade relationship with Deutsche Bank, a German institution that has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties in recent years after admitting its role in a $10 billion money laundering scheme that allowed clients in Russia to move vast sums overseas.

Schiff voiced concern that Mueller has shied away from investigating Trump’s ties to the German lender, saying that “if the special counsel hasn’t subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, he can’t be doing much of a money laundering investigation.”

Schiff was referring to reports last year that Mueller’s office had told Trump’s lawyers it was not seeking Deutsche Bank records related to Trump’s accounts or loans. Deutsche Bank became a critical lender to Trump in the late 1990s when major U.S. banks refused to do business with the New York real estate developer after repeated bankruptcies.

1. I thought this odd because he did it so

publicly. Schiff couldn't voice his concerns privately to Mueller? And if not, why not?

2. Perhaps SDNY is doing this??

3. Maybe this is beyond the scope of the Mueller investigation

There are so many crimes to investigate that it takes multiple investigations. I'll bet that we won't know the full extent of trumps crimes until well after he's out of office. We may not know everything until he's died. Historians will continue to look under the rocks to see all that he's guilty of.

4. Nope.

5. Trump Told Mueller his finances would be a 'red line' so of course there's no deep dive into them by

... Mueller
