“You have a president who, in my opinion, beyond a shadow of a doubt, sought to, however ham-handedly, collude with the Russian government, a foreign power, to undermine and influence our elections.” – Beto O’Rourke, presidential candidate

“I think there’s plenty of evidence of collusion and conspiracy in plain sight.” – Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee

“I called (Trump’s) behavior treasonous, which is to betray one’s trust and aid and abet the enemy, and I stand very much by that claim.” – John Brennan, former CIA director

“The biggest scandal in U.S. history is coming into focus. On Friday, Rachel Maddow made it clear. Donald Trump conspired with the enemy.” – Rob Reiner, film director
