Rep. Adam Schiff
(D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, blasted President Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, saying Americans should be skeptical on how hard Trump pressed Putin on Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“The American people can be forgiven for a healthy skepticism about just how hard Mr. Trump could have pressed the Russian autocrat, given that the President publicly cast doubt on Russian responsibility and the probity of our intelligence agencies only the day before,” Schiff said in a statement.
“Can we really expect the President to be more forthcoming with the Russian President if he is not willing to fully level with our own people on the same subject?”
Schiff also slammed the possible creation of a working group between the U.S. and Russia on cybersecurity issues.
“The establishment of a working group as reported by Foreign Minister Lavrov to study how to curb cyber interference in elections in which the Russians would play any role, would be akin to inviting the North Koreans to participate in a commission on nonproliferation — it tacitly adopts the fiction that the Russians are a constructive partner on the subject instead of the worst actor on the world stage,” Schiff said. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said after Trump and Putin’s face-to-face meeting that Trump confronted the Russian leader on Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“The two leaders agreed that this is a substantial hindrance on the ability of us to move Russian-U.S. relationships forward and agreed to exchange further work regarding commitments of noninterference in the affairs of the United States and our democratic process as well as those of other countries,” Tillerson said. “So more work to be done in that regard.”
But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after the meeting that Trump “accepted” Putin’s assertion that Russia didn’t meddle in the U.S. election.
"U.S. President Trump said that he heard firm assertions from Russian President Putin that it is not true and that Russian authorities have not meddled in the elections," Lavrov said. “[Trump] said that he accepts these assertions. That's it.”
I’m getting tired of this schiff-head.
Bwahahahahaha, Rep. Adam Schiff? No bias there. hahahah
We’re so lucky to have a gaggle of mediacrats to give poor Donald step-by-step instructions on how to be a President.
/s
He was the guy pushing the 17 Intelligence Agencies BS.
Pencil necked Liberal Geek.
It was their first meeting. Usually you don’t get into a major arm wrestling match on the first time you meet.

Adam Shiftless is pretty WORTHLESS!!
Like most in the Rat Party, the guy is a jerk off. They will go to their graves or burn the country down before they admit this Russia,Russia,Russia BS is all a ruse and cover for THEIR crimes they accuse President Trump of. It is confounding that Clinton and Obama have immunity and useful idiots do their bidding like good sheep.
Schiff is the Dems universal asshole.
I can see Trump and Putin
Laughing about 3 seconds
On “ meddling...
Then moving on to serious stuff!
Oh yeah I guess the portable waterboard should have been used.
Pencil neck ahole wouldn’t know how to negotiate himself through
his daily dump.
The professor who is an actual Russia expert on with Tucker right now sees it very differently (duh). Worth watching.
This punk is such a worm he makes my skin crawl.
Because Schiff can be trusted to give an honest, unbiased opinion based solely on facts and reality, right???
Schiff was one of the Shi/guys pushing the 17 Intelligence Agencies BS.
“Representative Adam Schiff … dismissed accusations from Carter Page, another Trump adviser who is under scrutiny, that the committee is preventing him from testifying. Mr. Schiff ... said the investigation would first review relevant documents before interviewing witnesses.”
In other words, Page, who has been portrayed via intelligence leaks to the news media as essentially a traitor, won’t be given the opportunity to defend his reputation until Schiff and the other Democrats decide the time is ripe.
Yet, it’s not as if the House Intelligence
Bull Schiff-t.
After all, he is a democrat.
Ultimately, this shameful, lying, media-driven demonization of the President of the United States, by the very Swamp that the President—and the People—want to drain of its arrogance and corruption, will only drive more and more of the waverers to climb aboard the Trump Train.
The American people know loser behavior when they see it, and the Left and Media couldn't look more like losers, they way they've been acting for the past 2+ years.
Any fool who wants to join those lying, hateful, violence-inciting clowns deserves whatever fate awaits them in the coming years. Meanwhile, that portion of We the People who aren't hysterical, raving lunatics will get on with the work of making America great again...
Oh, poor little adam. He’s got a big mouth, though. He needs to put his mouth back to its usual purpose. There’s got to be plenty of demand there in his casual haunts.
I can’t imagine anyone who wants anything else from the poor pathetic little poof.
