American democrats will listen very attentively to FBI director James Komi when he speaks to the Standing Committee of the House of Representatives on intelligence, looking for information that would be useful for impeachment of Donald Trump.
He could make statements about Russia's interference in the US presidential election, about all the scandalous information leakage about members of the administration of Donald Trump, as well as about the president's statements that his predecessor allegedly listened to him.
"It is not known how many details will disclose the Komi about all these problems, but the president seems to be on the verge of publishing a message on Twitter that his administration has nothing to do with Russia," writes Newsweek, recalling that Trump On his page blamed the Democratic Party for allegedly "inventing" a story about his possible Russian contacts.
Literally a few minutes before the hearing with the head of the FBI began, Trump added: "But what about the contacts of the Clinton team with the Russians? Is it true that the Democratic Party will not allow the FBI to investigate this?".
Sen. Democrat from Pennsylvania, Bob Casey responded to Trump's message on Twitter, commenting that "any attempts by the US president to divert attention from legitimate questions on Russia indicate a clear need for an independent study.
The publication notes that confirmation of suspicions of coordinating the actions of Trump's team with Russia during the election will be an explosion. American intelligence agencies have already come to the conclusion that the Kremlin, with the help of hacker attacks, tried to help Trumpu win. The media over the past months have revealed that several important officials from Trump's team have been in contact with Russian officials. In particular, this was done by ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn.
But the former head of the CIA, James Clapper, while still in his post, said that there was no evidence indicating the cooperation of the team of the Republican candidate with Russia. Democratic senator Adam Schiff, who is also a member of the Standing Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives, yesterday noted that Claper's confidence in him had surprised him.
"I do not think that you can make such categorical statements. Before the investigation, I would characterize the situation this way: there are indirect evidence of cooperation. I think there are direct evidence of fraud, and that's why we are starting an investigation, "Schiff said..
The publication notes that the Democrats have already begun to disseminate the idea of ??impeaching Trump, especially after his statements about listening. Democrat Congressman from Texas Sheila Jackson Lee noted that everything will depend on what the FBI director will say.
If Komi confirms that there is no evidence that Trump was being listened to, then the president himself framed himself and made possible his impeachment.
"If you do not have any evidence of what you insist on for three weeks, then you are exactly on the verge of the issue of public trust. Such actions can be regarded as a crime or an offense at the highest level. And in this case it will be possible to talk about a violation of the article on impeachment, ".
