Marc Morial on John Lewis: ‘Someone Whose Opinion I Would Not Challenge’

‘And if [Russia] did [support Trump], then it constitutes espionage’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BROWN: "So first question, do you agree with Congressman Lewis?" 
MORIAL: "John Lewis is one of the great Americans of our generation. He’s a personal hero. He’s a friend. He’s someone whose opinion I would not challenge. But what his statement underscores I think, and this is a point, is why we need a select committee, a bipartisan effort, a complete examination of the role of Russia in the last election cycle. Because it’s dangerous and people have missed the point. The point is not simply did it have an impact on the election. The question is did they attempt to have an impact on the election. And if they did it, then it constitutes espionage, it constitutes something that all Americans should be concerned about. Any interference with our election process. So the air needs to be cleared and it’s not going to be cleared unless there is a trough examination. Either a select committee, bipartisan commission of citizens with the full power to examine all of the facts and in a public fashion."
