Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday he believes the investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling is just beginning.
“We are far closer to the beginning of the investigation than we are to the end,” Schiff, who is the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC’s Martha Raddatz on “This Week.”
Schiff also cited Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s testimony to the Senate last week, where he confirmed that the president asked him to leave the room before a conversation with former FBI Director James Comey. Comey separately testified that during the conversation, the president asked him to drop the FBI probe into ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The Democrat added that he thinks the president knew asking Comey to drop the investigation was inappropriate.
“We don't have one ethical standard for this president and a different ethical standard for other presidents,” Schiff said.
“The president cleared the room of everyone except himself and James Comey, [and] that signifies, I think, that this president knows all too well that it was inappropriate for him to be asking the attorney general to essentially drop a criminal case against his most high-profile surrogate,” he said.
Schiff went on to say he believes there is evidence of obstruction of justice.
"The fact that the president can fire someone for good cause and can fire someone for no cause, doesn't mean he can fire someone for malicious cause," Schiff said, referring to Trump's firing of Comey.
Schiff’s comments come after a Washington Post report surfaced this week claiming that the president was under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller for obstruction of justice.
Trump said in a tweet Friday he was under investigation for firing Comey, although his legal team says he was not confirming anything.
Schiff.
Look over your shoulder.
....They’ll investigate nothing for years. It’s all they have....
However, with the MSM accomplices this will be the lead or second story through at least November, 2018.
I thought Schumer was the biggest DEM POS. This guy Schiff dwarfs him by a long shot.
They’ll “find” something.
Trump won’t resign though, and I doubt they’ll have the votes to impeach.
Not holding my breath.
it may be just beginning, but it will come to a head long before it is finished
I fully agree.
The proglib comrats have zero ethical standard.
Therefor it can not change from the previous president to the current President.
.
I agree, Schiff is a lying partisan sob right up the with Chuckie.
We got nuthin' else, so let's investigate this to death.
They will investigate until another democrat wipeout at the polls, where they will discover people actually wanted them to do something about jobs and the economy.
Reminds me of the kid in High School that would constantly get his ass kicked if he wasn’t hanging on to some teachers apron stings.
What a swarmy sleaze ball.
“We don’t have one ethical standard for this president and a different ethical standard for other presidents,” Schiff said.
The hell you say? Then why isn’t Shrillary in prison, next to Huma, Comey, Weiner, Lynch, Holder, and 0bama?
There must be something up. King was on TV today with a similar message, won’t be over til next year, 20% done. Yet Mueller said he’d be done in “a couple of months.”
Some possibilities:
1. Obviously, King & Schifty could be right.
2. They know it’s almost over already, and are trying to buck up the troops with more crap.
3. They “Hope” it will go on, but don’t have anything.
...and he knows it was malicious because he believes he can read Trump's mind. But of course, he can't. Only democrats considering operating on evidence that only exists in the head of one of their own. See: Acting A.G. Yates. Schiff is delusional.
yea agreed, It is beginning to look like hey If I (trump) don’t mess with you leave me alone scenarios in which the country loses, If hillary and the bozzo folks are not indicted hard our country is gone, it means laws are only enforced on the slaves, and if the gangsta mint wont do it, we will be oppressed hard..
from what I am seeing the whole bunch of them are crooked.
I like some things Trump is doing but mostlty its all like obozzo by executive order and can be overturned by next administration..Our world is at war, the world economy is a fake shell game, morality is gone and man could care less about others ..a recipe for global war..sad but true
Umm, no. You are the minority. It’s time to demand that the Republicans shut this witch hunt down.
