Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, criticized former special counsel Robert Mueller for not indicting President Trump. Schiff, who called Mueller "fundamentally conservative," did praise the special counsel for laying out a systemic effort by Russia to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, team Trump's embracement of the assistance, and showing that President Trump "lied about it, covered it up, and obstructed the investigation."



In an interview with HBO's Bill Maher on Friday's broadcast of 'Real Time,' the congressman said if there was any doubt about Trump's fitness for office there is none anymore, calling the president unfit for office.



Schiff also said he opposes impeachment at the moment, calling Trump's crimes "so far" unimpeachable. He also acknowledged you're not going to get people to vote based on Russia and encouraged the Democratic presidential candidates to talk about how they will help Americans put bread on the table.
