A Smoking Gun?

Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee, gave a brief interview after an absolutely moronic move by the Republican chairman of the committee, Devin Nunes. Nunes decided to share some special findings about domestic surveillance with the President, who is one of the subjects of the ongoing investigation by his own committee. Nunes' intent was probably to exonerate the President, but instead he ended up incriminating him further.

During Schiff's interview, he dropped a bombshell concerning the investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign:
I don’t want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and very much worthy of investigation.
The phrase "evidence that is not circumstantial" can't really mean anything else than "direct evidence", although Schiff declined to use the word "direct". He has a law degree, and he knows he can't say too much without leaking classified information. This is a big revelation, and we expect more detailed information to be revealed over the next few days or weeks.
