Schiff: Evidence of collusion between Trump campaign, Russia 'pretty compelling' | TheHill

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is pushing back against Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr's (R-N.C.) assertion that the Senate panel has not found evidence of collusion between President Trump's campaign and Russia.

Schiff said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that there is "pretty compelling evidence" of collusion during the 2016 election.
===========================================================
Quoting Sciff: "You can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence. Now, there's a difference between seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt."

Burr last week had said that his committee doesn't "have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia."

Leave it to the Repubs to defend Trump until the last.
 
To date not one iota of evidence of collusion by President Trump has ever been offered. However, the OPer is welcome to present what evidence he has.
 

Oh.…"ADAM SCHIFF SAID..."

From Trump? None yet.

But there's a mountain of evidence that Stone, Flynn, Don Jr, Kushner, Manafort, and Papadopoulos invited Russian nationals to help them in the election.

I believe the original post said campaign collusion. So quick to defend Trump actual wording by Schiff was missed. Not to worry, Trump has colluded with himself to look like a complete incompetent, that will be his downfall. Legal collusion with Trump and Russia TBD

Bull****. Flynn's PERFECTLY LEGAL conversation was AFTER THE ELECTION; complete LIE about MANAFORT and PAPADOPOLOUS...and Stone emailed WIKILEAKS long before anyone suspected what Gucifer2.0 was.


The Trump Tower meeting was a SETUP , arranged by the OBAMA ADM. (Lynch), the Hillary Campaign , through Fusion GPS, and its RUSSIAN BUDDIES.

Try again...we SEE WHO WAS WORKING WITH THE RUSSIANS, DON'T WE?

I know, reading is hard, so let me quote and highlight the key part you seem to have not understood.

 

Making **** up again I see. Not surprising you have no sources for your claims....

You bought the media's gaslighting?

Russian Collusion: It Was Hillary Clinton All Along

Adam Schiff, Glenn Simpson and their Forrest Gump-like encounter in Aspen

Sen. Mark Warner texted with lobbyist with Russian ties to get in touch with dossier author: Report

Adam Schiff, gullible fool

No, it's the Democrats that have all the deep and longstanding Russian connections, and the Mueller 'investigation' is only designed to distract you from that.

And still, you bought the media's gaslighting?

Uhhh, It's Trump that you are trying to hound. So far, not one iota of criminal activity, nor any collusion, nor any direction to have someone else do it for him.
 
Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS to compile incriminating "Russian" inspired disinformation on Trump to help the Dems. win the election.
Where's Schiff's outrage?
 

The House Dems don't want to impeach Trump...they want to defeat him in the 2020 election. To do that, they need to throw as much **** against the wall as they can. They know that the more **** they throw the more they'll be able to influence the voters. That's why Schiff, Cummings, etc, won't come out and say they have direct evidence. They'll say they've seen stuff that's "pretty compelling".

"Pretty compelling" = "nothingburger"
 
Shiff is a laugh a minute. He has nothing now just like he's always had nothing.
 

Bigger question... Why did Adam Schiff meet with Fusion GPS Founder Glenn Simpson, one of the key and most controversial figures in the Russia collusion scandal.

Simpson ran the firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party to find dirt on Trump in Moscow. He employed retired British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, whose infamous and unverified dossier became the main evidence for the FBI’s probe of the Trump campaign, particularly the surveillance warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

“It’s interesting that Simpson is at the heart of the dossier and the dossier played a mighty role in not only going after Carter Page but in much of Adam’s and Eric Swalwell’s [D-Calif.] quest to find collusion, that [Schiff] would in fact in that exact same conversation, or time frame, be in conversation or appear to be in conversation with the guy who’s principally responsible for the dossier,” Conaway said.

Of course it's compelling...for 50% of the population. The other 50% simply doesn't care and prefers to rationalization it in a myriad of ways...outright denial, trolling, lying, fine people on both sides, conspiracy theories, scorched earth, etc.

The thread is about Schiff claiming, in contrast to a senate Republican, that the evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is "pretty compelling".

As far as I know, it was not a response of Schiff to the phony question "what about Marc Elias!!!". Are you trying to derail the thread on purpose, or by accident?
 

Well, when "compelling evidence of collusion" involves stuff like a twitter conversation between Stone and Wikileaks wherein Stone tells them to stop bashing him and Wikileaks tells Stone to stop saying they know each other when they don't it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that anything and everything will be "compelling evidence".

Heck, Democrats got busted doing to Roy Moore what they accuse Trump of doing to Clinton.
 
by all means then, show us some evidence.

if they take this all the way to 2020 without making a case, be prepared to hear screaming of "where is the evidence of this" echoing throughout the nation.

IF they have something they should show it soon, otherwise they held it back for political gain only, OR they didn't have anything.

unless its a smoking gun, it may not even be believed if it seems they withheld for political purposes in 2020.

Not to mention Manafort's connection to the Russian mob which he met with at Trump Tower for years.

It's being said by Kevin McCarthy that Schiff should recuse himself after his secret meeting with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
I think so too. Sounds like collusion to me.
 

The topic of the thread is not me.
 

Mmmmm.... the fetid stench of RW desperation.

Absolutely. Why do Democrats ignore real collusion like Schiff's and Hillary's while believing steadfastly in imaginary collusion like Trump's? That's not a real question, of course. We all know why.
