The House Intelligence Committee has hired a seasoned former Southern District of New York federal prosecutor with experience going after Russian organized crime to lead its myriad investigations into President Donald Trump.
Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced on Tuesday that Daniel Goldman joined the committee last month as senior adviser and director of investigations. Goldman, who was second-in-command at SDNYs organized crime unit, has prosecuted the Russian mob and has secured convictions for racketeering, murder and money laundering, including against the Genovese crime family.

(8,817 posts)If you don't think that the Repubs have already assigned a hundred lawyers to go after this guy full force, you are very mistaken..............They will bury anyone who tries to accomplish anything with tons of BS, Paperwork, Suits, etc etc etc
Just look at how they successfully obstructed Obama from appointing a Supreme Court Justice (or any Judges for that matter) until he was out of office................

Oh, wouldn't that be a wonderful sight?

(19,199 posts)One competent fascist could destroy our country in a month. Dim-Wit Donnie did enough damage, and he finished dead last at fascist camp. I hope this puts to rest, for once and all, that our country could be a fascist dictatorship. There is the problem of Trump's cult though. What becomes of them when Donnie starts his new career making license plates?
