Schiff: Given that Russia intervention was on your behalf, the conflict of interest is clearly yours

@RepAdamSchiff

Poor relations with Russia were caused by Russia’s violation of our sovereignty, not the investigation of it. And their support for Assad and invasion of Ukraine.

Given that Russia’s intervention was on your behalf, the conflict of interest is clearly yours, not Mueller’s.

Before Trump was sworn in his people attempted to establish a back channel with Putin. Nothing has been published on whether that effort ended in a back channel. Now fast forward to this weekend where Nikki H. announced new sanctions on Russia. Putin, using this back channel, told Trump he needed to cancel those new sanctions. Today (Monday) Trump said there will be no new sanctions on Russia.

The back channel was not for the transition period but for after Trump is in office, specifically for times like this.
