Schiff: We Need to Know If the Russians Have Any ‘Leverage’ over Trump

‘If you conspire with others to violate any number of laws, there’s a crime’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "If there’s a conspiracy to violate election laws and get help from a foreign power, if there’s a conspiracy to engage in illegal quid pro quo, an act of bribery where you will get help in exchange for a legislative change on the Magnitsky Act, obviously that would be problematic. If there’s any conspiracy to obtain illicit information, to steal the information, any number of those things could be violation of law. Those are things that Bob Mueller will be looking at for the purposes of do we bring a prosecution? There are also things that Congress needs to look at in terms of what were the full range of actions taken by the Russians. Did they have the help of U.S. persons, and most important, how do we protect ourselves from this happening again? And if there is any leverage the Russians have over the President, we need to know about it."
