EXCERPT:
HIMES: "Let's be very clear. If Donna Brazile's accusations — and again, I think we're all reading about them for the first time — are true, that's an internal problem. That's a management problem within the DNC. The President would have you believe that there is illegality. I've seen or heard nothing that would suggest that there was any illegality. Let’s remember the Uranium One deal. You need to read about that for about five minutes to know that there is absolutely nothing there. Let’s also remember about Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal which went on for years and tarnished her name. Again, absolutely zero evidence that there was a violation of law there or that there was any harm suffered. So what the President is trying to do is he is trying to say, 'Look at this conviction of George Papadopoulos, the indictment of Manafort,' a serious law enforcement issue raising the question quite frankly, and it’s a question, it has not yet been answered, raising the question of possible treason, that that is somehow equivalent on the other side to Clintons, to possible mismanagement at the DNC or to suboptimal e-mail practices. Come on. That’s just ludicrous on the face of it."
