(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, made something very clear in his opening statement on Monday: "Most important, we do not yet know whether the Russians had the help of U.S. citizens, including people associated with the Trump campaign,” he said.
"Many of the Trump's campaign personnel, including the president himself, have ties to Russia and Russian interests. This is, of course, no crime,” Schiff continued.
“On the other hand, if the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a serious crime, it would also represent one of the most shocking betrayals of democracy in history."
