Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, on Monday suggested that Donald Trump Jr. may have been the first individual to become aware of the Russians intention to help his father in the presidential election.
Schiff spoke to MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show following a new report in The New York Times that said Trump Jr. had been told in an email that harmful information about Hillary Clinton was coming from the Kremlin as part of an effort to help his fathers campaign.
So if this is correct, the first person who may have found out that the Russians had decided not just to gather information about what the candidates positions might be or what they might do in office, Schiff told Maddow.
But they had made a decision to intervene to try to help a candidate, the first person who may have learned that was the presidents son, through this email because at that time, we couldnt be sure whether this was going to go beyond the intelligence gathering operation.
Schiff noted that the reported email to Trump Jr. came before the hacked documents were dumped.
And at this point, we wouldnt have known that the Russians intended to escalate that way, Schiff said
Schitt!
The media are still playing Pin the “Tale” on Trump. If you remember the game from childhood birthday parties, it’s where one person stumbles around blindly, misses the target entirely, and generally makes a fool of himself.
DO, you have my sincere condolences.
What the heck is wrong with Drudge? He is linking main article from NY Times which is fake news. Is Drudge going anti-Trump, too?
Exactly...That was many years ago for me and it definitely was a stupid game.
He’s your congressman?! I didn’t know you were in Illinois (as am I.)
We need to get rid of the penis puffers like Schiff....
OMG, I confused Schiff with another Congressman from Illinois -— MY BAD!
Schiff is in California, not Illinois.
The stupid must painful for Schiff.
This is not like the Clinton sex scandal. We had a President commit perjury, a felony.
Trump has done nothing wrong except try to pursue a dialogue with Russia and that’s a hanging offense.
Liberals and their captive media are upset over Trump because he won, he’s President and is pursuing policies they don’t like.
I want them to run with this in 2018, considering the lack of proof for colluding with Russian and alleged Russian meddling. Go for it, Dems and CNN!
I am so disgusted with Drudge I won't even go there any more!! He has outted himself as " one of them!"..
schifty bugger.
“... following a new report in The New York Times...
So if this is correct...
And if it’s not correct, then we will revert to whatever previous pile of bullcrap story seems convenient.
I sent Drudge a terse message the other day, about his linking to NYSlimes.
Told him I would no longer be visiting, if he intends to support Fake News media.
Schiff is deranged. It’s a common psychological problem with CA politicians. Think Pelosi and Boxer. And the Democrats in Sacramento.
really?? because suppose this person came to tell them that Hillary was colluding with the Russians
Schiff may be the first convicted pedophile of this Congress.
He’s gone full retard.. 110% bull Schiff! ...
Schiff is San Marino, California...
