Schiff: Russia Aiding Trump ‘Would Represent One of the Most Shocking Betrayals of Democracy’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: “... have ties to Russia and Russian interests. This is of course no crime. On the other hand, if the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a serious crime it would also represent one of the most shocking betrayals of democracy in history. In Europe where the Russians have a much longer history of political interference, have used a variety of techniques to undermine democracy. They employed the hacking and dumping of documents since leak propaganda as they clearly did here. But they have also used bribery, blackmail, compromising material and financial entanglement to secure needed cooperation from individual citizens of targeted countries."
