Democrats, unwilling to accept the innocence of Trump and his administration, have tried to discredit the committees' outcome by pointing out that “direct evidence” is rare and given the same weight has circumstantial evidence.
So the Democrats have a person in mind and they're looking to find a crime--that is not due process in the least, and it's an abuse of law and power.
House Democrats, led by new committee chairman Adam "Shiftless' Schiff (D-CA), have vowed to continue investigating anything they can to prove Trump has committed a crime – even using congressional authority to subpoena Trump’s tax returns.
In response to Schiff’s fanaticism to find a crime, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) released a serious of questions for his Democrat colleague.
“Chairman Schiff stated in March of 2017, he had evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and that his ‘evidence’ was more than circumstantial but not quite direct. To date Chairman Schiff has produced no evidence to support that claim,” McCarthy posted on his blog.
But Shiftless Schiff has also come under scrutiny after it was reported that he had a chance encounter with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson last summer during the Aspen Security Forum. The meeting between Schiff and Simpson occurred before the latter testified in front of Congress in November 2017 about the FBI’s handling of the Russian collusion investigation and the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, which she got a "Get Out of Prosecution Free Card" from fired FBI director James Comey.
“In addition, Chairman Schiff and House Democrats went to great lengths to keep investigators from finding out Fusion GPS was hired by a law firm at the direction of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Investigators ultimately had to go to court to secure access to who was behind the still unvetted Steele Dossier. Chairman Schiff obstructed and opposed efforts to identify the funding behind the salacious, still unverified report,” McCarthy wrote.
Schiff has lots of 'splaining to do, but he would rather use his time to undermine the President than come clean. Perhaps coming clean would show just how dirty his hands are.
I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

But it's unlikely that anything will come of this and Schiff will not be in legal jeopardy because it seems that high level politicians are "judgment-free" in this country.
McCarthy stated that Schiff asked Simpson during his testimony about where to take the investigation into Trump and it looks as if Schiff was taking direction by using claims from Simpson.
In March 2018 – several months after Simpson testified – Schiff released a list of witnesses he wanted to speak to about the Russia probe. On that list was Cleta Mitchell, a former NRA attorney who had not worked for the organization for years. Her name was mentioned as someone who was apparently concerned with the NRA’s Russia ties. Guess who claimed Mitchell had concerns.

Yes, it was Simpson, according to handwritten notes by Bruce Ohr, the Justice Department official heavily involved in the investigation and with Fusion GPS, and whose wife, Nelly, worked for Fusion.
Schiff had demanded former Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) recuse himself because he did not disclose meetings with the White House.

McCarthy says this same standard should apply to Schiff in light of his meeting with Simpson. Also, McCarthy has some serious questions for Schiff:
Along with this Aspen Security Forum meeting, how many other meetings did Chairman Schiff have with Mr. Simpson over the past three years?
What did Chairman Schiff and Mr. Simpson discuss at the Aspen Security Forum meeting, along with any other meetings?
Why did Chairman Schiff go to such great lengths, including supporting Chuck Schumer’s former staffer who was representing Mr. Simpson – even going to court – to keep secret who was behind paying for the political attack piece on then candidate Trump?
Why did Chairman Schiff seek investigatory guidance and suggestions from Mr. Simpson, a witness whose credibility has been called into question but whose bias is unmistakably anti-Trump?
If Chairman Schiff is really interested in who provided false or misleading testimony to Congress, why not start with Mr. Simpson?
Given Chairman Schiff’s previous underlying rationale when calling for others to recuse themselves from Russia-related investigations, in order to avoid charges of hypocrisy or perceived bias, should Chairman Schiff recuse himself from his intended investigations after meeting with a witness of an ongoing investigation?
Schiff has lots of 'splaining to do, but he would rather use his time to undermine the President than come clean. Perhaps coming clean would show just how dirty his hands are.
