Adam Schiff Lays Out How Trump Is Working For Russia

REP. SCHIFF: Certainly, I think the intelligence community is training its focus and resources on the Russian threat, even if the president isn’t.

I can’t comment on whether the New York Times report is accurate or inaccurate.

But certainly, we- we’ve had a heightened focus on Russian meddling in our elections.

There have been persistent concerns about Russia and other nations preparing the battlefield in terms of our energy grid, and

establishing a deterrent I think is very important.

But that effort to establish a determined- deterrent is dramatically undercut when

the president a month ago told Putin over the phone that he still thinks the Russian interference in our election was a hoax.

When the president says that he still is open to receiving foreign help and he may or may not call the FBI.

What I found most disturbing about that New York Times story about whether we’re preparing the battlefield, in terms of the electrical grid in Russia, was the fact that

the security officials with the administration felt

they couldn’t tell this to the president because he might compromise that information in a conversation with the Russians, or

he might countermand their orders,

their military decisions because of the president’s obsequious at ude towards Russia.

Trump says if GOP paid for Steele dossier ‘there’d be to pay’ — Republicans paid for half of it

President Donald Trump tweeted out once again that he doesn’t know the difference between a man hired to do opposition research and an entire country intruding on an election to sway the result.

In a Sunday Twitter rant, Trump proclaimed that if Republicans had done something like that, “there’d be to pay.”

The problem for Trump is that the Republicans did actually pay for the first portion of the dossier Christopher Steele wrote.

“Fusion GPS was hired by Republicans to do opposition research,

they were hired back [by] the Democratic Party to do opposition research,”

, Fusion GPS was hired by the conservative political website The Washington Free Beacon in October 2015.

It was there that the Steele dossier began.

Just shy of one year after that is when Democrats paid for the other half of it.

The Republican-led Intelligence Committee also issued a report revealing that the dossier was perfectly legal under every law.

You’re right, I can’t really think of a comeback to you not knowing Republicans didn’t pay Steele.

I don't recall saying anything about payment.

Are you suggesting Steele wasn't doing oppo for anyone else in the last election cycle?

Trump’s Russian arms control negotiator failed to disclose ties to Russian agent’s boyfriend

Andrea Thompson, a State Department official in managing U.S. arms control negotiations with Russia,

had a years-long personal friendship with GOP operative Paul Erickson,

the boyfriend of admitted Russian agent Maria Butina — and

failed to disclose this either to the Senate during her confirmation hearings, or to her superiors at the State Department.

Thompson serves as the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and National Security Affairs, and was confirmed to that role in February.
