Rep. Schiff: Regardless of Nunes’s Report, Trump’s Tweets Are ‘Nonsense’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "I certainly haven't had any conversations with the President. Now, the President had a huge staff so I don't want to represent whether or not I've heard from anyone related with the prior administration, but I will say one thing that has been abundantly clear from this week, and it began with Director Comey's testimony and Director Rogers and what they represented on behalf of the Department of Justice, and that is there's still absolutely no basis for what the President has accused his predecessor of. That was just pure nonsense. And I think what's happened here, and I really think people need to understand what is going on here, is the following: the President made a slanderous accusation against his predecessor. One with absolutely no basis that his predecessor, Barack Obama, engaged in felony crimes and illegally wiretapped him. One after another, Republican chairs of the House committee and the Senate committee and senators on other committees and the Speaker himself said, 'We've seen no evidence to support the President's statements.' And then we heard testimony from the directors this week saying there is no evidence of this."
