Well, sure, you can see from the transcript that he had this concern based on basically a year's long worth of research. And not just cursory stuff, but actually going into court filings and corporate filings. He had this concern about the possibility of money laundering. This idea that you might have, for example, Russians who have somehow acquired money illegally and they're needing to cleanse that money and they're investing it in Trump properties. But, as Jim mentioned, and as you see in the transcript He said at the end of the day that he couldn't provide hard evidence of that. He only saw signs of that. And the reason he said he couldn't provide hard evidence is because Fusion GPS was not a governmental entity that could subpoena different entities for information. And the House Intelligence Committee I think is unlikely to follow up on a lot of those leads, unfortunately. Part of that because of the resources committed to the committee. The politics of it. But I do think that it's something that Bob Mueller should and will look into. So it's not something your committee would actually look into? I hope that we will but unfortunately it's something that I would not be surprised if the committee does not.
