Adam Schiff listened.
He wanted the information first !!! He even ask questions to get more information !!!
He said he would call the FBI, but he is a known liar and leaker so that isn't any guarantee of what he would actually do !!! He would call AFTER he got the information !!! What is the difference between Schiff and Trump on that ?

This has always seemed completely ridiculous to me. Foreign entities sometimes have information. It is not a criminal act to listen to what they have to say. If a source deep within the Russian government came out tomorrow with absolute proof that Donald J Trump was a Russian agent, would the Democrats "do the right thing" and completely disregard that information, "because getting information from foreign sources is treason"?

Let's say you got information you know came from China's Ministry of State Security (their version of the KGB more or less). They've just provided you with absolute undeniable proof that the man your sister married last week is a serial rapist and murder, that she's his 30th wife and the 29 that came before her are all dead and disappeared without a trace. So do you "do the right thing", completely disregard this information and never tell your sister? Would you be committing treason if you told her about it?

The whole Russian Collusion conspiracy theory has addled peoples' brains. It's apparently now treason to interact with anyone or anything Russian for any reason. My boss is an ex-pat Russian. Am I a traitor?

How pathetic is this post. Trump all but admitting he would sell at the nation and the best you can did say is he is "trolling". What kind of "man" much less a president would go on national TV and say he would collude with a foreign nation against the interests of this country.

Trumpers are acting like a 5th column in this nation.

If that’s the case then why the hell would Trump want to take the dirt? Lol. Can’t wait to see you try to square that circle.

Reporting this sort of very important information to the FBI is not equal to completely disregarding the information.

Why do you guys not understand this?

You wish, he is just that stupid to say something like that on national tv. You might be Lyao, but it isn't for the reason you think it is. Or, perhaps you have to laugh to keep from crying, that your guy would say something like that on tv. He will just double down on what he said in the days ahead, no trolling there my friend.

So if China had information that Trump did something illegal, Biden would not want to hear what they had to say ?

Biden would report it to the FBI as every other presidential candidate before Trump would have done. Only a Trumper would think otherwise.
