Hilariously ironic... Don't mind a little treason and crime in a president?Collusion isn’t a legal termSchiff, in his closing questions to Mueller, asked how he would describe a campaign that was “knowingly accepting assistance from a foreign government,” to which Mueller responded “a crime.”
Schiff continued, adding that if knowingly accepting assistance from a “foreign government during a presidential campaign is an unethical thing to do.”
“And a crime in certain circumstances,” Mueller responded.
Schiff continued: “To the degree that it undermines our democracy and our institutions, we can agree that it’s also unpatriotic.”
“True,” Mueller replied.
Schiff questioned whether public officials acting unethically “also exposes them to compromise particularly in dealing with foreigners.”
“Is that true?” Schiff asked.
“True,” Mueller responded again.
Schiff: That foreign partner can expose their wrongdoing and extort them.
Mueller: True.
Schiff: That conduct can be of a financial nature if you have a financial motive or elicit business dealing, am I right?
Mueller: Yes.
Schiff: It could also just involve deception. If you are lying about something that can be exposed, then you can be blackmailed.
Mueller: Also true.
