Schiff claims there's already 'direct evidence' of collusion by Trump campaign
By Brett Samuels - 03/03/19 11:26 AM EST
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," in response to a question about collusion.
"They offer that dirt. There is an acceptance of that offer in writing from 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."
He pointed to charges against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen's testimony as examples.

Why be constrained by reality when you can construct a world of lies and then use them as a reason to act in accordance?
The media will not challenge the left and their followers are incapable of critical thought. Why not?

We know that's BS. How do we know? Because if they had ANY thing on Trump it would already have been leaked to the pressholes.

Uh, .... no. In a word.

Schiff wouldn't know direct evidence if he had it up his.....well, nevermind.
