ADAM SCHIFF TO HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE


Adam Schiff, speaking before the House Intelligence Committee meeting on March 28, 2019:

"My colleagues might think it’s okay the Russians offered dirt on the Democratic candidate for president as part of what’s described as the Russian government’s effort to help the Trump campaign. You might think ’s okay. My colleagues might think it’s okay when was offered to the of the president, who had a pivotal role in the campaign, the president’s did not inform the FBI, he did not adamantly refuse foreign help — no, instead said he would ‘love’ the help with the Russians.

You might think it was okay he took meeting. You might think it’s okay Paul Manafort, the campaign chair, someone with great experience running campaigns, also took meeting. You might think it’s okay the president’s -in-law also took meeting. You might think it’s okay they concealed it from the public. You might think it’s okay their only disappointment after meeting was the dirt they received on Hillary Clinton wasn’t better. You might think it’s okay. I don’t.

You might think it’s okay , when it was discovered a later they had lied about meeting and said it was about adoptions, you might think it’s okay the president is reported to have helped dictate lie. You might think it’s okay. I don’t.

You might think it’s okay the campaign chairman of a presidential campaign would offer information about campaign to a Russian oligarch in exchange for or debt forgiveness. You might think ’s okay. I don’t. You might think it’s okay campaign chairman offered polling data, campaign polling data, to someone linked to Russian intelligence. I don’t think ’s okay.

You might think it’s okay the president himself called on Russia to hack his opponent’s emails, if they were listening. You might think it’s okay , later day, the Russians in fact attempted to hack a server affiliated with campaign. I don’t think ’s okay.
You might think it’s okay the president’s -in-law sought to establish a secret back-channel of communication with Russians through a Russian diplomatic facility. I don’t think ’s okay.

You might think it’s okay an associate of the president made direct contact with the GRU through Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks, is considered a hostile intelligence agency. You might think it’s okay a senior campaign official was instructed to reach associate and find what hostile intelligence agency had to say, in terms of dirt on his opponent.

You might think it’s okay the national security adviser-designate secretly conferred with a Russian ambassador about undermining U.S. sanctions, and you might think it’s okay he lied about it to the FBI.

You might say ’s all okay. You might say ’s just what you to do to win. But I don’t think it’s okay. I think it’s immoral, I think it’s unethical, I think it’s unpatriotic and, yes, I think it’s corrupt, and evidence of collusion.

Now, I have always said whether this amounts to proof of conspiracy was another matter. Whether the special counsel could prove beyond a reasonable doubt the proof of crime was to the special counsel and I would accept his decision, and I do. He is a good an honourable man and he is a good prosecutor.

But I do not think conduct, criminal or not, is okay. And the day we do think ’s okay is the day we will back and say, is the day America lost its way.

And I’ll tell you one more thing is apropos of the hearing today. I don’t think it’s okay during a presidential campaign Mr. Trump sought the Kremlin’s help to consummate a real estate deal in Moscow would make him a fortune. According to the special counsel, hundreds of millions of dollars. I don’t think it’s okay he concealed it from the public. don't think it's okay he advocated a new and more favourable policy towards the Russians, even as he was seeking the Russian's help, the Kremlin’s help, to make .

I don't think it's okay his attorney lied to our committee. There is a different word for than collusion and it's called compromise. And 's the subject of our hearing today.

The point is that it's Trump who started the name calling........He called Mr. Schiff "Pencil-jNeck" at his rally in Michigan.......Trump name-calls constantly....or haven't you noticed?......Everything Schiff says here is true and has been confirmed.......And your silly comparison of Schiff to McCarthy is a ludicrous overreach.......you don't have to repeat everything uttered by Hannity.

Apparently you haven't even read the bog......if you have, your comprehension is deplorable.

You seem to think that "wrongdoing" and "criminal conspiracy" are interchangeable terms........do you think that only those actions that can be criminally prosecuted are wrong ?.........I suggest you pull your head out of Trump's ass (careful you don't leave anything behind) and read what Schiff said.

The big difference is that Schiff never flew combat missions like Tail Gunner Joe.

We don't really know what Mueller said on this point.
All we have so far is a summary of Mueller's summary.
The former was written by a Trumpie.
Colour me cynical, but i have some suspicion that Barr might be spinning and cherry picking Mueller's results.
