The Senate's top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, cautioned President Donald Trump from trying to interfere in Congress' investigations of Russian meddling into the US election last year, saying it would be "possibly criminal," and encouraged investigators to follow the "money trail."
"It's a serious investigation. They ought to follow every lead. If the White House tried to interfere, that obviously would be very, very serious and possibly criminal," the New York Democrat told CNN's Manu Raju in a wide-ranging interview Friday. "I hope they don't."
Schumer also said that he would like to hear Attorney General Jeff Sessions testify before Senate Russia investigators, and also highlighted lead Democrat on the investigation, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner. ...............

He doesn't care if it's criminal. He's in so deep he might as well take the risk rather than be exposed.

Rachel covered this yesterday, the lying.

I'm sure trump believes he can just pardon himself and family members. I was reading earlier on google that theoretically the POTUS can pardon any offense against the US, apparently including his own offense.
I don't want to believe this is true, and if it is it's bullshit and needs to be changed. Fuck you lil Donnie!

With Schumer giving a warning like that, I'm beginning to wonder if they have anything directly tying Trump.
