The typically soft-spoken Schiff responded angrily after Republicans called on the House intel chairman to step down, accusing them of ignoring evidence that the Trump team tried to accept Russia's help in 2016
The House Intelligence Committee devolved into bitter infighting Thursday, as all nine Republicans demanded Chairman Adam Schiff resign his post and the California Democrat responded with a blistering account of “evidence of collusion” between President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia.
He also noted that Trump helped dictate a false story about the meaning of his son's meeting and, during the campaign, openly asked Russia to obtain Clinton's emails — a comment Trump later construed as a joke. "You might think that’s OK. I don’t," bellowed Schiff. “I think it's unethical. I think it's unpatriotic. I think it's corrupt and evidence of collusion.”
