Schiff claims there's already 'direct evidence' of collusion by Trump campaign

[mobeau69]

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday that he believes a Russian lawyer's 2016 offer of damaging information on Hillary Clinton to members of the Trump campaign and their subsequent meeting amounts to "direct evidence" of collusion.

“I think there is direct evidence in the emails from the Russians through their intermediary offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what is described in writing as the Russian government effort to help elect Donald Trump," Schiff said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

"They offer that dirt. There is an acceptance of that offer in writing form the president’s son, Don Jr., and there is overt acts and furtherance of that," he added, citing a summer 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between the Russian lawyer and members of the president's team.

"That to me is direct evidence," Schiff continued. "But there’s also abundant circumstantial evidence."

4. Trump wouldn't care so much if there wasn't...

But it’s comforting to hear him say it.

5. The nation saw him ask the Russkies on TV to hack Hillary''s emails.

And we all know about Junior's trump Tower meeting.

7. We really don't need more evidence than directly witnessing the crime on TV.

Any additional evidence (such as the Russians hacking the DNC 1 hour later) is just cholesterol-laden gravy on the KFC.

6. Someone had better listen to Schiff

Trump is listening, that's why he calls him names.

The evidence is already available.
