Schiff’s Claim
“All of this is evidence of collusion,” said Schiff, a former federal prosecutor. “Now, I’ve never said that there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s for Bob Mueller to decide. But to say there’s no evidence of collusion, you’d have to ignore all this.”
He seemed to be implying there was a reason Trump wouldn’t sign the memo’s release. His statement suggested that something was in the memo that Trump was scared of being released.
“If this were a trial on the issue of did the Trump campaign conspire with the Russians to interfere or violate U.S. election laws by providing help to the Trump campaign, if this were a trial on that conspiracy charge…all of that evidence would come in as evidence of collusion,” Schiff said.
“It’s not fine to work with a foreign power even if there is no violation of law involved,” he added.
It was time for the memo to be released in all fairness. Let those in authority decide if to accept or reject its findings.
