Adam Schiff: If Trump Doesn’t Confront Putin Tomorrow, ‘He Is a Weak President’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Now the President, I’m sure is doing this because he feels it undermines the legitimacy of his election. But frankly, the fact that he can’t acknowledge what the Russians did is the most that anyone could do to delegitimize himself. Why can't he speak plainly about this? I think in other circumstances, a different president with the same circumstances would have the presence and the character to say, 'The Russians did this. We won’t put up with this. I may have been the beneficiary, but I didn’t invite it,' although in this case he did invite it publicly in the comments that he made. The problem here is that he is going to show, if he doesn’t confront Putin, that he doesn’t have the strength to do it, that he is effectively a weak president and that the Russian president can continue to walk over him when it comes to interference in democratic affairs.”
