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.”
Freddie Blassie – Pencil Neck Geek Lyrics
Back when I was a kid, life was going swell.
Till something happened, blew every thing to hell.
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak,
Said “A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek.”
Mom said, “Sell it to the circus, what the heck.”
Dad said, “Nope, this one’s a pencil neck.
And if there’s one thing lower than a side show freak,
It’s a grit eatin’, scum suckin’, pencil neck geek. “
You see if you take a pencil that won’t hold lead,
Looks like a pipe cleaner attached to a head,
Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks,
You got yourself a grit eatin’, pencil neck geek.
[Chorus:]
Pencil neck geek, grit eatin’ freak,
Scum suckin’, pea head with a lousy physique.
He’s a one man, no gut, loosing streak.
Nothin’ but a pencil neck geek.
Soon the geeks were poppin’ up all over town.
You couldn’t hardly sneeze without knockin’ one down.
After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick,
Just reach for a geek, they’ll do the trick.
One day we cut one up for fish bait.
Learned our lesson just a little bit late.
Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red.
Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead.
Chorus
Most any night you know where I can be found.
Yeah, stomping some geek’s head into the ground.
So keep the faith ‘cause in Blassie you can trust,
I won’t give up ‘til the last geek bites the dust.
Chorus
They say, “these geeks come a dime a dozen.”
I’m lookin’ for the guy who’s supplin’ the dimes.
It’s gonna be real hard times for all of these
Grit eatin’,
Scum suckin’,
Boot lickin’,
Drop kickin’,
Gut grindin’,
Nail bitin’,
Glue sniffin’,
Scab pickin’,
Butt scratchin’,
Egg hatchin’,
Sleezy,
Smelly,
Pepper bellied,
Dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin’, freaks.
Nothing but a pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.
Then forgive my skepticism for taking you as nothng more than a party hack who will say or do anything to protect Democrat ass.

The Entire Deep State DC Institutional Apparatus Knew Trump Was Not Under Investigation (List)
However, more importantly, James Comey also admitted he told congressional leadership the exact same thing, repeatedly. Specifically, James Comey stated he informed: •Paul Ryan, •Nancy Pelosi, •Mitch McConnell, •Chuck Schumer, •Devin Nunes, •Adam Schiff, •Richard Burr, •Dianne Feinstein and •Mark Warner.
You didn't level with the people for months, Adam, so why should we expect you to level with us now?!
It's a long way down from the top of your high horse.
Don't break your neck when you fall off.
See 61 for the list of those who knew.
He is a straight forward man who won't stay silent for fear - like Obamarama who didn't have a spine except to screw the People ....
And he even did that through intermediaries.
