Having shell companies is smoke, but money laundering, influence peddling, hiding money from taxation and other crimes are the gun. So far, a lot of smoke, but no evidence of any of the other things. Tracing the funds is done to show the actual transactions and how they tie to a specific crime. Come back with that and they'll have indictment worthy evidence.
We already know that he hid money from taxation. Remember he has tax charges for not paying all of his taxes in two years and the whistle blowers say he committed felonies hiding his income in 2014 and 2015. The evidence is already there, the bank records that Comer subpoenaed, coupled with the IRS agents testimony should be plenty to proof that he was hiding income.
