Chris Stewart: No One Has Brought Us Any Evidence of Collusion

‘I think Mr. Mueller should pursue all of these questions and come back and report to the American people’

EXCERPT:

STEWART: "No, I didn't -- I didn't say that, Chris. I said we should -- we should investigate these and we should answer those questions. But I would ask you if you have evidence of collusion come and share it with us because I think -- look, it's not just me, it's Dianne Feinstein, it's many others -- Democratic leaders who have said, you know, we just don't see evidence of that right now."
CUOMO: "But --"
STEWART: "Now, we might -- we might and maybe some of that will come forward --"
CUOMO: "Right."
STEWART: "-- but right now, we don't." 
CUOMO: "That's the part of it I don't get. So, it's an ongoing investigation, Mueller just started. You haven't seen any proof yet but, really, I mean, you guys keep saying that we shouldn't know what they know, right? You know, that this would be a closed process. But if it's not over yet how can you conclude what you know?"
STEWART: "What I said was, and this is just really simple, we don't have evidence yet of any collusion --"
CUOMO: "Right."
STEWART: "-- and if you have evidence of that, then come share it with us."
CUOMO: "Right."
STEWART: "But we don't and, again, that's just not me saying that. I don't know why you're being contentious on this. Well, you're challenging --"
CUOMO: "Oh no, I'm not. I'm just saying if you want the process to go on --"
STEWART: "You're challenging that position --"
CUOMO: "I mean, I'm challenging the notion that you want something to go to its conclusion but you want to conclude right now that one aspect of it will bear no fruit. That's what I don't get -- that inconsistency."
STEWART: "This is really pretty simple. We're saying we don't have evidence yet --"
CUOMO: "Right."
STEWART: "-- but we will continue to investigate it."
CUOMO: "OK."
STEWART: "If anyone has evidence of that bring it to us --"
CUOMO: "Right."
STEWART: "-- because, once again, it's not just me saying that, it's others who are saying that -- Democrats who are saying that -- which is why you don't hear much talk about collusion any longer. Most of the conversation has shifted over to obstruction because at this time we don't have any evidence of collusion."
