Adam Schiff Confirms There Is Evidence Of Collusion (Video)

 

Adam Schiff Turns The Screws On Trump.

Congressman Adam Schiff on Sunday said he believes the investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling is just beginning.

“We are far closer to the beginning of the investigation than we are to the end,” Schiff, who is the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC’s Martha Raddatz on “The Week.”

Schiff, during his interview, also confirmed that he believes there is evidence of collusion between the Trump team and Russia.

Additionally, Schiff noted Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ testimony to the Senate last week, where Sessions confirmed that the president asked him to leave the room before a conversation with former FBI Director James Comey.

Comey testified that Donald Trump asked him to drop the FBI probe into ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn during that conversation.

Schiff also called out the double standard that he sees being applied to Trump. Schiff said that he thinks the president knew asking Comey to drop the investigation was inappropriate.

“We don’t have one ethical standard for this president and a different ethical standard for other presidents,” Schiff said.

“The president cleared the room of everyone except himself and James Comey [and] that signifies, I think, that this president knows all too well that it was inappropriate for him to be asking the attorney general to essentially drop a criminal case against his most high profile surrogate,” he said.

Schiff says there is evidence of obstruction

Schiff also went on to confirm he believes there is evidence of obstruction.

“The fact that the president can fire someone for good cause and can fire someone for no cause, doesn’t mean he can fire someone for malicious cause,” Schiff said, referring to Trump’s firing of Comey.
