Adam Schiff: There Doesn’t Need To Be a Quid Pro Quo To Impeach President Trump

‘That is a terrible abuse of the president’s power’

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: "So you see that as a quid pro quo? Not just the military aid?"
SCHIFF: "First of all, there doesn't need to be a quid pro quo. But I think it clear already from the text messages that this meeting that the Ukrainian president sought was being conditioned on their willingness to interfere in the U.S. election to help the President. That is a terrible abuse of the President’s power. Whether that abuse goes further, that is the withholding of military aid also as a leverage. There are certainly strong indication that that is true as well. We will get to the bottom of it. But here you have a president of the United States abusing his power to the detriment of our national security, and doing so to get yet another foreign country to intervene in our election. It's hard to imagine more of a corruption of his office than that."
