In the Newsweek Interview, Schiff talked about the reforms that American needs to enact now.
Adam Schiff was angry. It was late March, and Attorney General William Barr had just released his summary of the special counsel’s Russiagate report, deflating many Democrats’ hopes for impeachment. Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, had spent the past few days trumpeting the finding of “no collusion” and then ridiculing Schiff, head of the House Intelligence Committee and one of the president’s fiercest critics, for continuing to press the case against Trump.
Beyond that, federal prosecutors in New York have dubbed Trump “Individual 1” in a criminal case involving hush money that sent his personal lawyer Michael Cohen to jail. They are also reportedly looking into Trump’s reliance on wealthy Russians starting in the late 1990s to keep afloat his real estate and branding enterprises, which have declared bankruptcy four times.Schiff has claimed that evidence of wrongdoing by Trump “is in plain sight.
In terms of Russia’s relationship with Trump, there’s a lot we already know. Mueller got 34 indictments, seven guilty pleas and four people sentenced to prison. What does it say about our legal system that this investigation, with all the powers of the state behind it, can’t find illegality in any of that with respect to the man in the middle of it?
Does this new lower standard suggest to you that the American legal system is flawed and vulnerable when it comes to ethics and corruption and the definition of treason? Speaking of angry tweets, personalized smears and attacks have become commonplace in politics now, including those directed at you. What is the key to leadership at this time and in this era, generally, and in your position now, with Republicans calling for your resignation?
As a member of Congress and a former assistant U.S. attorney, I was deeply disturbed to see the attorney general make such a cavalier and reckless suggestion that those now under his purview engaged in “spying” on a political campaign. This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a “deep state coup” at his political rallies and in the Oval Office, but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions.
Republicans seem to be stalling the release of the Mueller report and have used the time lag to depict Democrats as “sick” and obsessed with a fantasy. Are you worried that pursuing this will backfire politically on Democrats?
