In March of this year, House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff hired attorney and former federal prosecutor Daniel Goldman as the committee’s senior adviser and director of investigations. Goldman had an impressive success record as a prosecutor for Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office. He has also been a frequent legal analyst on MSNBC.
Quote: “Goldman seems well suited to lead this effort. As deputy chief of the organized-crime section of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, Goldman supervised the prosecution of more than thirty defendants accused of racketeering, gambling, and money laundering. During his decade in the office, Goldman convicted individuals associated with Russian organized crime of securities fraud and health-care fraud, and convicted leading figures in the Genovese crime family of racketeering and murder.” — Jeffrey Toobin writing in The New Yorker
