Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told the Los Angeles Times Monday that the investigation into so-called “Russian collusion” with President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign will be a top priority if Democrats win the midterm elections.
He vowed to go after Trump’s personal business interests: ““The president has sought to keep that off limits, but if that’s the leverage Russians pose that’s a real threat to our country,” Schiff said, as quoted by the Times.
Schiff, whom House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is said to be grooming to take her place, has been a ubiquitous presence on cable news as he has pushed the Russia collusion theory for two years.
In March 2017, Schiff insisted that there was “more than circumstantial” evidence to substantiate the claims against Trump — but despite his best efforts, and those of Special Counsel Robert Muller, no such evidence has emerged.
Schiff has also resisted efforts by Republicans to investigate the actions of the outgoing Obama administration as it conducted surveillance on members of the Trump campaign, based largely on the pretext provided by the phony Russian “dossier” compiled by a former British intelligence agent in the pay of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
In 2015, Schiff also supported the Iran deal, arguing that there was no alternative.
Schiff canvased in Orange County for Democrat lottery winner Gil Cisneros, who had been accused of sexual misconduct by a fellow Democrat until his accuser suddenly withdrew her claims with weeks to go before the general election. He also rallied canvassers in Ventura County for Katie Hill, saying they should be motivated by the confirmation of Justic Brett Kavanaugh to ensure accusations of sexual misconduct were never ignored.

The Demorats continue to beat this dead horse of Trump/Russia collusion. Apparently they believe, with considerable justification, the American People are stupid enough to buy this absurd narrative. I keep waiting for someone, like Schiff, with their superior intellect to explain, rationally, why on earth the Russians would want to help elect a US President who advocates rebuilding the US Military and putting America first over a corrupt political shrew who actually DID collude with Russia in the sale of Us uranium reserves to that country in exchange for $145 million in kickbacks to her “foundation”, and in the creation of a fake dossier! A corrupt political shrew the Russians knew they could buy! Anyone with an IQ above their shoe size should be able to see the absurdity of that BS!
He should change his name to Adam”bad apple”Shitthead
Why in the world would people in the USA go out and put Democrats in charge of the House when Trump and the Republicans have done so much for this country with the economy,world politics,a strong military,respect for our veterans.And if we would have helped him in taking the house as well as the senate we would have a immigration policy and a health care policy.Now with the house being in control by the Democrats no Daca no immigration policy higher taxes sanctuary cities no ICE illegals everywhere only in America could this have happened
The only involement by Russia was for the DNC, they paid them and the organization to do the Dossier on Trump. We need to kick the DEMOCRATS out of the Country.
well said Ron.
