Adam Schiff
The Public Record
Adam Bennett Schiff is an American lawyer and politician currently serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district, a position he has held since January 3, 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has played a significant role in various legislative efforts and is known for his work on national security and intelligence issues. He served as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, where he was involved in high-profile investigations and oversight of intelligence agencies.
Chair Jordan seems to be looking for any excuse to discredit law enforcement and DOJ, who are finally holding Donald Trump accountable for his serious violations of the law.
I move for unanimous consent to enter the entire transcript into the record, so the American public can see for itself exactly what he said.
the Mueller investigation revealed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in 'sweeping an systemic fashion,' correct?
Let's go to invited Russian help. Mr. Durham, you're aware of Donald Trump's public statements along the lines of, hey, Russia, if you're listening, hack Hillary's emails.
Well, look, it's a badge of honor, as Roosevelt said in his time, that sometimes you could judge a person by the enemies they make. And this was a MAGA resolution that Donald Trump threatened if any Republican voted against, as many had…
This gets to the receipt of help, second thing I mentioned, receiving Russian help.
your report attempts to make a case that the investigations of Clinton were given more favorable treatment to that of President Trump.
Don Jr. when offered dirt as part of what was described as Russian government effort to help the Trump Campaign said, 'if it's what you say, I love it.'
There's clear evidence on the issue of collusion. I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight.
Well, I mean, the Matt Gaetzs and the Donald Trumps and others are deeply disappointed because this was a four-year investigation. It was supposed to uncover this deep-state conspiracy, Biden was supposed to be indicted and Clinton was…
Trump's Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, said that the former President's handling of this information put U.S. service members' lives and our national security at risk.
Are you aware, Mr. Durham, that Mueller and Congressional investigations also revealed that Don Jr. was informed that a Russian official was offering the Trump Campaign, quote, 'very high-level and sensitive information,' that would be…
It is simply not true, as the most extreme voices in this room have claimed, that the investigation was somehow launched by the Clinton Campaign.
Even if you believe, as Chair Jordan claims, that President Trump has committed no crime, surely, we can agree that it is dangerous and profoundly irresponsible to have taken these documents from the White House and left them unsecured in…
Mueller also reported that, though he could not establish the crime of conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt, he also said, quote, 'A statement that the investigation did not establish certain facts does not mean there was no evidence of…
The Russians offered help, the campaign accepted help, the Russians gave help, and the President made full use of that help, and that is pretty damning.
Trump's hand-picked Attorney General Bill Barr, with whom I agree on very little, hit the nail on the head when he described the former President's legal troubles as entirely of his own making.
Why, Mr. Durham, would you leave out a glaring contrast between the FBI's public discussion of the Clinton investigation right before the election and it's keeping confidential the Trump investigation?
I think the investigation of his misconduct was very important. It ultimately led to his impeachment, which I was proud to lead, and it led to the first bipartisan vote to remove a president in U.S. history.
You think it's insignificant that he had a secret meeting with Russian delegation for the purpose of getting dirt on Hillary Clinton, and the only disappointment expressed at that meeting was that the dirt they got wasn't better?
the Durham Report unequivocally concludes that the FBI not only have the evidence to open an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, but actually had an affirmative obligation to investigate ties between the Russian…
