Rep. Schiff Says If Mueller Won't Look Into Trump Deals, Congress Will

Well, obliterate was not my choice of words. But what it means is this, what ought to concern us the most from an oversight point of view is, is there any entanglement with a foreign power that might influence U.S. policy against our national interest? And what we saw in the Michael Cohen revelation, some of the Michael Cohen revelations, that the president, while he was denying any dealings with Russia, his business actually was pursuing a multi, multimillion dollar deal in Moscow, hiding it from the country, seeking the Kremlin's help with it, that is deeply compromising.

Now, the president has wanted to draw a red line and say you can't look at my business, but if the business is trying to curry favor with the Kremlin, we can't ignore that. And the president should not be in a position to say you can't investigate certain things, only other things that I don't care as much about.

So, that's what I mean.

If Mueller is not looking into this, and I don't know whether he is, someone needs to because otherwise we are being derlict with our security.
