The 11-month-old investigation into whether President Trump or members of his campaign colluded with Russians has still not turned up any evidence thats strong enough to put before a jury.
Thats according to California Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, which is overseeing one of the parallel investigations into whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated with the Kremlin to influence the outcome of the election.
Im not prepared to say that theres proof you could take to a jury, Schiff told ABC News Martha Raddatz on Sunday when asked if hes seen proof of collusion.
As a leader of the House committee, Schiff has been able to review classified information held by various agencies of the intelligence community. He has also sat in on briefings with FBI officials to review information in the case.
Though Schiff acknowledged that he has not seen evidence thats strong enough to present to a jury, he believes that investigation is warranted. He asserted that when the FBI opened its investigation last July, the bureau had good cause to do so.
I can say that theres enough that we ought to be investigation, Schiff said Sunday.
Indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate. If a foreign government
has something that they can hang over the head of our president or our administration that can influence U.S. policy, it is very much in our national security interest to know it.

instead, they hide behind weasel words like "deeply concerning", and "troubling", and hope their outrageous message somehow sinks in subconsciously. it's the most outrageous slur and political slander since andrew jackson's political opponents implied that his wife was a prostitute.
Pay attention to this guy’s weasel words. Notice he says they haven’t found enough evidence to bring before a jury. What that means is he has not found any evidence at all.
Schiff mentions a jury to insinuate there is something there. In reality there id zero and hr id playong to the Liberal base.
Memo to Cong Schiff: While you were busy trying to debunk Trump, you turned a blind eye to your low-level office help....spies working in Congressional offices accessing US govt computers containing intelligence that involves the safety and security of Americans.
The Pakistani Awan gang worked exclusively for Democrats. The gang had access to numerous agencies centering on Americans safety and security.
Cong Schiff, your House Intelligence Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency
Defense Intelligence Agency
Department of Defense
Department of Energy
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Justice
Department of State
Department of Treasury
Drug Enforcement Administration
Federal Bureau of Investigation
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
National Reconnaissance Office
National Security Agency
Office of Naval Intelligence
Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency
United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
United States Coast Guard Intelligence
Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
The Paki spies back-doored Congressional computers to siphon classified security intel....they then absconded, getting viasas from the State Dept to while under criminal investigation.
Martha Raddatz of ABC News was completely unprofessional for not asking you about the Capitol Hill breach.

What investigations. We have heard from Comey (if he is to be believed) that there were no investigations into Trump w/r/t Russian collusion.
Yet this article keeps mentioning “investigations”.
There have been ALLEGATIONS, but according to Comey, no investigations.
I wish people would be clear in what they are saying and not muddy the swamp any more than it already is.
Everything else is just media propaganda hype and coup plotter maneuvering.
True. They have no real power so they stir up as much shite as possible in hopes of damaging Republicans reelection chances. It seems to be backfiring on them.
The only thing being investigated before the election was Clinton and her associates.
However, Clinton did make various allegations during the campaign period that Trump was too close to Putin.
So now that the Russian narrative has clearly imploded, the Globalists move for Obstruction.
Again they have no proof, but let’s put that critical point behind us and pretend they have proof.
Even Leftist like Alan Dershowitz ADMITS the President has the Constitution AND Legal Authority to do it. After all he is the U.S. President. He is like a CEO of the USA, and he can fire anyone he wants, and there is nothing they can do about it. The Globalists are lying again hoping the public is dumb enough to by it.
A toxic cabal of media bullies and unelected bureaucrat criminals attempting to smear an innocent President with a nonexistent crime and drive him from office. Divest these monster/brats of power, turn the tables on them, or we will be left with a Banana Republic.
That’s exactly it!
They Deep State is attempting a coup on a legally Constitutional election.
They are just hoping the public is dumb enough to buy their lies.
It’s very dangerous what they are doing and it could lead to a physical civil war.It’s one thing when you are within the Constitution and the law, and it’s a completly another thing when you are outside of law and attempting an illegal and coup. That’s very dangerous.
it was initially brought up as an excuse to bug his campaign. It is now being use to distract from all the real crimes of the demos and to ultimately drive him from office. If the reps in the senate and the house would go to the WH and stand behind Trump in photo and announce this sh^t would be over but most of them are part of the deep stat swamp Trump is trying to drain. This situation of crimes is much much worse, for wider and deeper than anyone could have ever imagined...courts, and ALL branches of GOV...all being black mailed by the muslism running the IT in the congress and through....murders and pizzas!
Impeach 100% bull Schiff ! ...
Impeach 100% bull Schiff ! ...
I agree 100%.
Deep State/Military Industrial Complex at work.
Idiot First Class
Basically my point. Hillary was alledgedly under investigation. We now know the FBI did nothing to investigate and much to obstruct. Meanwhile hillary sends Schiff & Co. into CYA mode by investigating Trump. There was no mention of investigating Trump until this utterance by Schiff. This was during the election and so illegal they won’t acknowledge same.
After the election Hillary makes a public declaration that Trump & Russians were “bad people”. At that point every Agency in the USA investigates Trump. To this day nothing has been found. No one knows what was done between July ‘16 and Nov ‘16. My guess is the NSA, Brennan, Clapper, etc... were illegally spying on the Trump campaign. They unmasked some of his people. Now Schiff acknowledges the DEMS were after Trump the entire time.
Spot on
“The 11-month-old investigation into whether President Trump or members of his campaign colluded with Russians has still not turned up any evidence thats strong enough to put before a jury.”
IOW we haven’t been able to djinn up anything a jury wouldn’t laugh themselves to death over—like ‘2 people close to the WH say...’
Even if that’s true, it’s probably Schiff and a pal driving by the WH and making stuff up.
