As bad or worse than Watergate, Congresswoman Jackie Speier tells BBC:

Unless Watergate involved Russia, then it is worse than Watergate. On the other hand, if we learn that Roger Stone, who was involved in Nixon’s dirty tricks, is and was always a Russian operative, and perhaps Stone-Trump friend/Trump lawyer Roy Cohn, who ran McCarthy’s hearings was a Russian operative, then Watergate would be as big. It is worth noting that Nixon was involved in the House Unamerican Activities Committee. What if he too were a Russian agent sent to destroy the country? On the other hand, what if Putin is a creature of Roger Stone, and/or Paul Manafort? Or, Trump and Putin simply creatures of the Russian mafia? There appears a common thread. Half Italian, half Hungarian, Roger Stone would make a perfect interface for Russian-Italian organized crime. But, will we ever know the truth?

Sunday:
Congressman Adam Schiff:
Tomorrow, the House Intelligence Committee will hold an open hearing on Russia’s interference in our election. For a lot of Americans, this will be the first time to really tune in to exactly what the Russians did.

I’d like to walk the American people through, with both the Directors of the FBI and NSA, what we know about the Russian operation. What was its breadth? Were there U.S. persons that were helping the Russians in any way? What can we do to protect ourselves in the future and help our allies now? These are the questions I’ll be asking.

I discussed it this morning on Meet the Press:

Here’s where we begin our investigation into Russian interference – with circumstantial evidence of collusion & direct evidence of deception
