House committees gearing up to investigate President Trump are experiencing a boom in applications.
Some have posted job applications like one that CNN discovered for the Oversight Committee that outwardly advertised a need for staffers with 'executive branch investigative counsel.'
Democrats on those committees have received unsolicited applications, as well, they've said.
New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who sits on the Oversight committee, told CNN: 'They are people with law degrees and experience just wanting to be part of this historic moment.'

Trump's party lost dozens of seats in November's elections, putting Congress firmly under Democratic management in the next legislative session
Expected Intelligence Committee Chairman and Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said he's been 'deluged' with resumes from esteemed candidates.
Trump's party lost dozens of seats in November's elections, putting Congress firmly under Democratic management in the next legislative session.
A CNN report on Friday said that the new majority will be doubling the number of staffers in response to the sea change, and they currently taking applications in advance of the session that starts on Jan. 3.
A help wanted ad popped up on a job board the day after the election, CNN says. It advertised for an 'investigative counsel to conduct congressional investigations and advise on policy matters related to oversight of the executive branch' for an unidentified committee.
'Responsibilities include staffing letters and subpoenas, conducting interviews, organizing and staffing hearings and preparing memos, talking points, statements and reports as necessary,' the ad reportedly said.
Republicans will have a 53-seat majority in the United States Senate, but even some of the president's party members in the upper chamber have expressed an interest into taking a formal look at Trump's foreign policy decisions.
Senators have vowed to hold hearings on his sudden announcement that he's pulling more than 2,000 U.S. forces out of Syria and grill whomever he taps to replace outgoing Defense Secretary James Mattis.
In the House, the president's taxes are likely to be investigated by the Ways and Means Committee. And his is financial ties to Russia and Saudi Arabia could be probed by the Oversight and Intelligence panels.
Schiff says he'll be looking at the Trump Organization and whether it was involved in illicit money laundering operations.
Lawmakers have also indicated that they have questions for the president's top aides, including his daughter Ivanka, whose name came up in conversations about building a Trump Tower in Moscow.
It would have housed an Ivanka-branded spa.
Incoming House Oversight Committee chairman Elijah Cummings is hiring up -- and had already started requesting documents from the White House
And then, there's her husband, Jared Kushner, a senior adviser to the president whose top secret security clearance has been under review since the beginning of the administration, because of his financial holdings.
Incoming Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings submitted a letter to the White House asking for documents pertaining to the process.
Lawmakers also want to know more about Kushner's involvement in a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower. They promised to provide dirt on Hillary Clinton, leading to allegations of Russian collusion.
Legislators will also be coming for Cabinet secretaries like Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Brock Long. Their taxpayer-funded travel has raised eyebrows and could be probed.
Trump's acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, may also be scrutinized for comments he made about the special counsel investigation before he was in his current role and allegations that he inflated his resume.
Anticipated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has committed her caucus to investigating the deaths of two migrant children in the past month while they were in U.S. custody.
A dozen congressional probes into Trump and his administration could be up and running in the new year, and for that, Democrats will need a slew of lawyers.
They're staffing up generally on Capitol Hill to keep up with their net gain of 40 seats in the 2018 mid-term elections.
'There are a lot of Democratic refugees out there after the Republicans took over the House, the Senate and the White House,' House Armed Services Committee member Adam Smith told CNN.
He said of the surge in applications, 'They're finding us.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
