Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russia was treason as he continues to signal that Donald Trump Jr. is in his investigative sights
During an appearance on UnPresidented Podcast when Schiff was asked whether he thought the June 2016 meeting orchestrated by Trump Jr. was treasonous and unpatriotic, he said its pretty darn clear that the presidents campaign had intent to collude with Russia.
Certain things are beyond doubt and the first is, the Trump campaign, in the form of Don Jr., and the campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and the son-in-law Jared Kushner, were more than interested in getting the help of the Russian government, the congressman said. So in terms of intent to conspire, intent to collude, thats pretty darn clear.
Schiff also said there is ample evidence when it comes to collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The congressman said the only remaining question is whether the evidence is conclusive enough to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. - PolitiusUSA
I cannot wait for the history to be written on this stage of the republican-treason/Russia conspiracy.

(33,643 posts)1) Proof that the 'Dirt' discussed at Trump Tower ... is one and the same with the DNC/Podesta 'Dirt' ... some of which was first released by DCLeaks (Guccifer 2.0) and later by Wikileaks (after acquiring it from Guccifer), and
2) Proof that anyone on Trumps team actually agreed, in exchange for release of 'Dirt' ... to drop any Sanctions on Russia, OR to put their finger on the Scale in the Prevezon Case ... if elected ...
(the above is probably enough to nail Junior, Kushner, Stone and Manafort with actual Russian Conspiracy charges ... in addition to whatever else they may be in trouble for),
3) Proof that Trump approved of offering help to Russia, if elected, in exchange for the 'Dirt' being released
What would REALLY seal the deal would be:
4) Proof that ANY of them were aware as of the time that the offer to remove sanctions in exchange for 'Dirt' was made ... that the 'Dirt' ... was stolen from US entity AND/OR
5) Proof that anyone close to Trump (Parscale being a very good person to suspect) actually RECEIVED any stolen DNC/Podesta docs, via email, whatsapp, tweet, whatever AND/OR
6) The REAL killer ... proof that anyone near Trump actually proactively asked Russian actors to break into the DNC (or something similar to that) to try to find dirt on Hillary in the first place, and either offered $$$ for it, or promised Sanctions relief.
THere's OTHER ways to impeachment, mind you, but AFA as an actual criminal case around Collusion at some point ... I think you need the first 3 at absolute minimum. Though maybe the Trump Tower Moscow stuff has some criminal liability for Trump as well.
