It wasn't just about collusion - it was about being compromised. [View all]

Adam Schiff stated it very clearly in his response to the Republicans' personal attack upon him. It is not OK that Donald Trump was lying about having no business with Russia when he was negotiating a Trump Tower in Moscow, right up to the end of his campaign. Putin and the Russians knew what he was doing but the American people did not. He was compromised by the Russians.

This administration is corrupt, just as Congressman Schiff stated. Not only was Donald Trump looking to make hundreds of millions of dollars in Moscow, he was also making untold amounts from foreigners off his properties in the US, most notably the Trump International Hotel that is just down the street from the White House. The emoluments clause to our Constitution does not apply to Mr Trump, or so it seems?

If impeachment charges are ever brought forth, these are the charges he must answer for. He may have been cleared of any "collusion" charges, but the corruption does not stop there. Congressman Schiff is doing a great service to America by attempting to expose these behaviors.

Donald Trump is far from exonerated.
