There is circumstantial evidence of collusion. There is direct evidence, i think, of deception. Thats where we begin the investigation. I dont want to prejudge where we ultimately end up, and of course theres one thing to say theres evidence, theres another to say we can prove this beyond a reasonable doubt or theres enough evidence to bring to a grand jury for purposes of a criminal indictment. But there is certainly enough for us to conduct an investigation. Reporter and this is important because this is really where the divide could break down this congressional investigation. If the findings of the committee break down over party lines, thats where there is danger that the whole probe could be just written off by critic

It is not accurate to Say Obama Administration did not about it. 35 Russian Diplomats were expelled and properties were closed in the u. S. The president giving that interview to fox news channel.
