Cornyn: ‘There Are Many of Us Who Wish the Pres. Would Not Tweet as Much’

‘I know there are many others who wish the president would not tweet as much as he does because it tends to distract us from what we’re supposed to be doing’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BLITZER: "And you're on the intelligence committee as we note. The president, as you know, he was the original -- he made the original issue of tapes on may 12th when he tweeted this, James Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. That was witness intimidation? Was that a threat? How did you see that?"
CORNYN: "I didn't know what to make of it. I know there are many others who wish the president would not tweet as much as he does because it tends to distract us from what we're supposed to be doing. I've been spending my time as I mentioned a moment ago trying to figure out why is it that Russia and how is it that Russia attempted to interfere with our elections? And that's why we've had six public hearings on the Senate intelligence committee and continue to get access to some of the most classified information available in order to get to the bottom of that. I think we need to know exactly what happened so we can prevent it from happening again or even worse, affecting the outcome of an election."
