Rep. Adam Schiff took apart John Durham Wednesday during his Congressional testimony.

Special Counsel John Durham testified in front of the House of Representatives and was made to look like a fool when Rep. Schiff called him out for feigning ignorance on how Russia interfered during the 2016 election and helped Trump against Hillary Clinton by hacking and delivering campaign emails.

Schiff offers up a master class.

Durham: What the diplomats reported was there was a suggestion of a suggestion that the Russians could help at damaging information as to Mrs. Clinton.

Schiff: By releasing it anonymously, right? And that's exactly what happened, isn't it?

Durham: I don't I don't—

Schiff: You really don't know?

Durham: I'm not sure exactly, when you say exactly, what happened?

Schiff: Well, the Russians released stolen emails through cutouts, did they not?

Durham: There were emails.

Schiff: It's a very simple question. Did they release information, stolen information through cutouts? Yes or no?

I'm not sure.

Schiff: You really don't know the answer to that? The answer is yes, they did through DC leaks.

Durham: Well, in your mind it's yes.

Schiff: Well Mueller's answer was yes, more important than mine, Mueller's answer was yes. Now that information of course, was helpful to the Trump campaign, wasn't it?

Durham: I don't think there's any question, but that the Russians intruded into, hacked into the system. They released information --

Schiff: And that was helpful to Trump campaign, right?

Durham: And the conclusion in the ICA and in the Mueller investigation was that the Russians intended to assist -- -

Schiff: Was helpful to the Trump campaign, right? And Trump made use of that as I said, didn't he by touting those stolen documents on the campaign trail over a hundred times?

Durham: I said, I don't really read the newspapers to or listen to the news.

Schiff: You're totally oblivious to Donald Trump's use of the stolen emails on the campaign trail more than a hundred times?

Durham: I'm not aware of that.

Schiff: It escaped your attention?

Durham: I Am NOT aware of that

The Russians wanted Trump in office, said they would help -- hacked and distributed emails and Trump used them against Hillary Clinton.

Pretty cut and dry.

If that's not collusion, what is?
