The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee warned that if President-elect Donald Trump tries to reverse the Obama administration's latest sanctions against Russia, Congress will have a "vigorous" response.
Rep. Adam Schiff of California said he thinks Congress may actually want to strengthen Russian sanctions.
"You're going to see Democrats, and Republicans like [John] McCain and [Lindsey] Graham, and others come together with a strong sanctions package because frankly even though what the administration did was more than symbolic -- it was very meaningful -- it is not enough to deter Russia," Schiff told ABC News Chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl on "This Week."
The White House announced Thursday that the U.S. is expelling 35 suspected Russian intelligence operatives and sanctioning five Russian entities and four individuals in response to an alleged cyberattack that the U.S. says was intended to interfere with the 2016 election.
Asked by Karl how Congress would react if Trump reverses the sanctions after he takes office, Schiff said the reaction would be "even more vigorous, I'm convinced, in favor of stronger sanctions against Russia."

It appears Congress was complicit with O of arming the Muslim rebels. They are desperately trying to make Russia the bad guy. Saudi money spreads around Congress as easily as the White House.
This clown makes it sound like the rats are in full power, and can do as they please.
Most people think I’m kidding.
I’m not.
There are sooooo many asshat pimps in congress. They need crushed into further irrelevance.
How many Republicans are like those two?
Tom Cotton, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and several others.
All neocons, some are still weighing the political dynamics of hiding it, or forcing a foreign policy on Trump. Or attempting to do so.
Trump must put his foot down. And the first time McCain goes overseas and starts talking in contravention of POTUS policy, he needs to charge him under the Logan act. Actually have the FBI arrest him after indictment led by the DOJ and the US Attorney for DC.
The only reason that the Democrats, individuals in the United States that are sympathic to homesexuals, and the media hate Putin and Russia is that Putin stopped the queers from adopting Russian male orphans and passing them around for sex toys. And he cracked down on homosexual activity in Russia. They both happened within the same time frame. Prior to that, both the media and the Democrat Party, including, according to the media, the smartest woman in the World, One Hillary Roddam Clinton, loved, adored, and worshiped him. Once they became estranged, both the members of the media and Democrat Party put out the word to their moles and judas goats to spread the word far and wide that Putin bad. When reality, Putin is the same as he was before he cracked down on the queers.
Congress has little popular support for this insane war mongering. Trump can withdraw the sanctions and the public will support him. Going to war with Russia over the fake news Russian hacking meme that exposed Dem party crimes? Absurd.
It was Dem insiders and gov whistle blowers that exposed the Dems via wiki leaks
That’s why I think the pipelines story may hold water.
Additionally Soros is backing Ukraine and McCain spends half his life there.
I could never deny that Putin can be a bully but how about Tibet?
Thank you.
Sounds rational to me.
Your welcome and now we have a link to answer the question, “They, who is they?”
Happy New Year
Dear Congress, we have spoken, if you need us to speak again we will.
PS Might want dust off and update your Resumes as you might soon need them
This little bug needs to be squished pretty quickly. It will put the others on notice.

Tucker Carlson had him on his program a week or so ago and showed viewers what an idiot this Shiff (D-CA) really is!
His mannerisms reminded me of that idiot Kaine who was Hillary’s running mate when he debated Pence. Smug & snarky.
schiff spelling error, its sh##
I feel like I am in Princess bride. You keep using the word “neocon” but I’m not sure you know what it means. Actually I am not sure you know what I wrote means.
I smell fear.
