Schiff continues to spin the same old story.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D.CA), who was recently expelled from the House Intelligence Committee because he lied to the American people, was asked by Dana Bash about his false claims that Trump had colluded in 2016 during a recent appearance on CNN’s State of the Union.
“You stated that there was evidence that Donald Trump conspired with Russia in 2016. Bash stated that Robert Mueller, special counsel, said in his report – quote — “The investigation didn’t establish that members Trump’s campaign conspired with or coordinated with Russia,” Bash stated. “Republicans claim that this is proof that you used your position on the Intelligence Committee in order to deliberately mislead Americans. This is why you shouldn’t be on that committee.”
From Daily Wire:
Schiff claimed that the report didn’t say that, and that it revealed that Trump’s campaign manager had shared campaign polling data with an agent from Russia. He claimed that collusion was what most Americans consider to be collusion. “Now, it’s not clear if that’s evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of the crime conspiracy — Bob Mueller was referring to — I have always distinguished the two.”
Bash replied by pointing out another example Republicans use when they refer to the problems they have with Schiff’s membership on the Intelligence Committee.
Bash stated, “Ahead the first Trump impeachment was completed, you claimed that the committee had never spoken to a whistleblower.” Bash stated, “In reality, that was not true.”
Schiff stated, “When I was asked this question, I thought they meant whether we had brought in the whistle-blower.” “And I should’ve been clearer in my answer.”
Bash pointed out that the Washington Post’s fact-check team denied Bash’s claim regarding whistleblowers.
