That's the best you could do?

You might want to check out a law that was signed by Bush in 2007 called the Foreign Investment and National Security Act that gave Congress more oversight powers over CFIUS.

And now, because this administration has left so many positions vacant, things will only get worse.

Even if something illegal was done, the statute of limitations for most federal crimes is 5 years, so it's a moot point.

Why is this issue being brought up 7 years after the fact when Republicans in Congress had years to investigate it?

Mueller Has Enough Evidence to Bring Charges in Flynn Investigation

Federal investigators have gathered enough evidence to bring charges in their investigation of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser and his son as part of the probe into Russia's intervention in the 2016 election, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation.

Michael T. Flynn, who was fired after just 24 days on the job, was one of the first Trump associates to come under scrutiny in the federal probe now led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign.

Mueller is applying renewed pressure on Flynn following his indictment of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, three sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

The investigators are speaking to multiple witnesses in coming days to gain more information surrounding Flynn's lobbying work, including whether he laundered money or lied to federal agents about his overseas contacts, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.

Flynn's son, Michael G. Flynn, who worked closely with his father, accompanied him during the campaign and briefly worked on the presidential transition, could be indicted separately or at the same time as his father, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.

If the elder Flynn is willing to cooperate with investigators in order to help his son, two of the sources said, it could also change his own fate, potentially limiting any legal consequences.

The pressure on Flynn is the latest signal that Mueller is moving at a rapid, and steady, pace in his investigation.

Last week, investigators unsealed indictments of Manafort and Manafort's business partner Rick Gates. They pleaded not guilty.

Investigators also revealed Monday that former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had pleaded guilty to lying to federal officials and had been cooperating with Mueller's investigation.

If the senior Flynn is charged, he would be the first current or former Trump administration official formally accused of criminal wrongdoing by the Mueller team.

So far, the probe has only ensnared campaign officials, and the White House has argued that the connection to the president is minimal.

An indictment of the president's former national security adviser and his son would scramble that dynamic.

A former senior law enforcement official said that in the weeks after Trump's inauguration the FBI was asked to conduct a new review of Turkey's 2016 request to extradite Fethullah Gulen, an elderly Muslim cleric living in the U.S. whom President Erdogan blames for orchestrating a coup to overthrow him.

The FBI pushed back on the request because Turkey had supplied no additional information that could incriminate Gulen since a review of the case during the Obama administration, the official said.

It is unclear whether the request to investigate Gulen came from Flynn or through the typical diplomatic channels at the State Department.

The FBI is also investigating former CIA Director Jim Woolsey's account to the Wall Street Journal — which he confirmed to MSNBC — that Flynn and Turkish officials discussed a potential plan to forcibly remove Gulen from the country in September 2016, according to sources close to Woolsey, who say the former director has spoken to FBI agents working for Mueller about the matter.

Flynn was fired in February following public revelations that he had lied to Vice President Pence about his dealings with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak.

Flynn's lawyer, Robert Kelner, declined to comment.

The younger Flynn's lawyer, Barry Coburn, declined to comment.

The elder Flynn, an Army lieutenant general, was pushed out as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 and retired from the military.

He then founded a lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group, where his son worked closely with him.

The younger Flynn was involved in the daily operations of his father's firm and functioned as his chief of staff.

He often attended meetings with his father and would communicate with prospective clients.

The elder Flynn was paid $530,000 last year for work the Justice Department says benefited the government of Turkey.

The elder Flynn did not register as a foreign lobbyist at the time, but did so retroactively this year.

The issue has been part of Mueller's probe.

His lawyer later said Flynn didn't need to register because his client was a Turkish businessman and not a government official, but had opted to do so retroactively.

According to Flynn's Justice Department filing, the Flynn Intel Group was hired to gather information about Gulen, and to produce a short film about its findings.

During the contract, which ended the day after Trump won the election, Flynn had at least one meeting, in September 2016, with Turkish officials, according to officials.

Woolsey says that it included a discussion about kidnapping Gulen and flying him to Turkey.

Flynn also was paid some $35,000 in 2015 by Russian state television for a speech in Moscow at a gala where he sat next to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The younger Flynn accompanied him on that trip. The trip raised concerns among federal officials.

NBC News has reported that others under scrutiny by Mueller include Carter Page, a Trump campaign ally; Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior White House adviser; and the president's son, Donald Trump Jr.

They have denied any collusion with Russia.

President Trump has denied any collusion with Russia during the campaign and has called the investigation a politically motivated witch hunt.

Kelner has declined to comment when asked if Flynn denies colluding with the Russian election interference effort.

Turkey has long demanded the U.S. extradite Gulen, saying he is considered a terrorist.

Erdogan forcefully renewed that request after the attempted coup against him in July 2016.

U.S. officials have said the Justice Department has not found sufficient evidence linking Gulen to the coup attempt despite the boxes of documents Turkey has submitted to the U.S. that Ankara says back up its claim.

Extradition requests are processed through the U.S. justice system and are not determined by the White House or other agencies.

Any quid-pro-quo deal such as the alleged agreement between Flynn and Turkey would be illegal, officials said.

Leaked documents reveal offshore dealings of top Trump officials.

A slew of leaked documents reported by a consortium of news organizations show several individuals connected to President Trump as having legally protected their business investments or influenced policies that would keep client and company funds in tax havens.

The more than 13 million documents, dubbed "the Paradise Papers," center around Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm, among other companies, and were first reported by German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.

They were then shared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in partnership with other news outlets, including the Guardian, BBC and The New York Times.

The same organization was also behind the release of the Panama Papers.

Like the Panama Papers, the Paradise Papers revolve around the issue of offshore entities set up by members of the global elite.

The Paradise Papers reportedly pinpoint over 120 politicians and royal leaders around the world who have connections to offshore finance, according to NBC News.

Several top Trump administration officials are among those mentioned in the reports.

NBC News, which obtained some of the documents, reported that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross failed to disclose shared business interests with Russian President Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, as well as other members of the president's inner circle, according to the documents.

A Commerce Department spokesperson told NBC News in statement that Ross has recused himself from matters related to transoceanic shipping and is in contact with ethics officials to “ensure the highest ethical standards.”

The spokesperson added Ross has "generally" supported sanctions regarding Russia, although the statement did not address the ties referenced in the NBC News report.

The president's chief economic adviser Gary Cohn has held leading roles in 22 separate entities for Goldman Sachs in Bermuda between 2002 and 2006, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
also directed a company in Bermuda in 1997, according to The Guardian.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also directed a Bermuda-based company known as Marib Upstream Services Company in 1997, according to The Guardian.

Tillerson was also the head of ExxonMobil's Yemen arm in 1997, which was tied to Marib, the documents showed.

Citizens for Tax Justice reported last year that Exxon had 35 subsidiaries in tax havens in locations such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the Bahamas.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is not named in the leaked documents, but the bank where he served as deputy chairman gave customers finance structures for highly priced personal aircraft, the Guardian reported.

The leaked files reportedly show that U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman was one of the heads of a previously undisclosed offshore company, while a biotech company formerly run by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson set up offshore firms.
