Something changed between Shiff's first interview on CNN and his interview on

MSNBC.
He hadn't seen what Nunes had leaked to Trump when he was on CNN, and when talking later he stated there was direct evidence of collusion.

Was what Nunes saw was the evidence of collusion and HAD to pass it on to trump and didn't trust anything but conveying the info in person?

Is the investigation by the alphabet soup going into full speed now that there is direct evidence? Are arrests going to be made soon?

Gots to go get some popcorn with extra butter.

"Actually, no, Chuck," Schiff said. "I can tell you that the case is more than that. And I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now … I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial, and is very much worthy of investigation."

That's a Rubicon, that was just crossed. Things will speed up now.

referred to what his Committee has already seen.

He explained about Nunes- he has not seen what is being referred to and that it may be like "two Chinese businessmen under FBI surveillance talking and mentioning the name Donald Trump. Incidental and nothing to do with Russia.

He then went on to say that there is more than circumstantial evidence but wouldn't go any further.

So he did confirm there's direct evidence but that comment had nothing to do with what Nunes said or alleges to have seen.

Did the alphabet soup pull a sting to bring more out in the open?

There doesn't seem to be much to them, based on his own words.

However, maybe he needed an excuse to see Trump and warn him of the DIRECT evidence that is maybe new. And maybe it couldn't be done with intermediaries because the intermediaries are implicated? Maybe Trump has to throw someone under the bus and Nunes didn't want them to know in advance?

There's a lot more here than meets the eye. Beyond irregular...and why?
