Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, opened Monday’s bombshell hearing on Russian interference in the 2016 election by warning that if it happened once, it can happen again.
“Only by understanding what the Russians did can we inoculate ourselves from the further Russian interference we know is coming,” he said.
Roughly three hours into the hearing, FBI Director James Comey agreed with him.
“They’ll be back,” Comey said of the Russian government. “They’ll be back in 2020, they may be back in 2018, and one of the lessons they may draw from this is that they were successful because they introduced chaos and division and discord and sowed doubt about the nature of this amazing country of ours and our democratic process.”
It is possible they’re misreading that as it worked, and so we’ll come back and hit them again in 2020. I don’t know,” he continued. “But we have to assume they’re coming back.”
I’d like to read anything Malcolm Nance has to day about this.
Drumpf: “And I helped.”
Holy shit. Did he just admit Russia stole the election for Trump on national television?
“Comey Warns That Russia Will Try To Meddle In 2018, 2020 Elections.”
Republican response: “We see this as a feature, not a bug. After all, it has helped us to win, and that is all that really counts.”
This hearing clarifying to me an independent investigation is needed. Turner: fake news!
