Schiff was explaining the reasons why the investigation was called for. Because that's what Republicans are saying was a biased and partisan call. It was not, the actions of the Trump administration actors raised serious questions that had to be examined.
Now the Republicans are saying there was no collusion. But that claim is not based on the Mueller report. No one but Barr has seen that report. What Republicans are relying on to make their claims of innocence, is the report/non report/non summary crafted by Barr, which makes the claim. And Barr only uses the absence of a collusion conclusion by Mueller, to mean that there was none.
As I have said before, the Trump campaign officials are not brain dead, they are highly skilled and high functioning people with careers and reputations to defend. They would not lie, under oath, to Congress, casually and without some very substantial and compelling reason. Any feelings that, what they were lying about, was legal, permissible and acceptable, can not be reasonably believed to be the cause of them telling so many dangerous lies.
