Adam Schiff: It’s a Real Problem Because Trump Is Not Well-Informed

‘It’s a real problem because we have a president who’s not well-informed’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "First, I can’t comment, first of all, whether the underlying issue is accurate or not, whether there is that kind of cyber effort going on. But if it’s true that the intelligence agencies or the cabinet members are keeping things from the President because they can’t rely on him to keep his mouth shut when it comes to discussing that with the Russians or with others, it’s a real problem because we have a president who’s not well-informed. It’s a problem because it means our allies are unwilling to share certain information with us because they’re afraid it it gets to the President that he will betray the sources and methods. So obviously it is deeply worrying from a national security point of view, but at the same time it’s not that surprising that people would feel that way. There is little trust, I think, in the discretion or patriotism, when it comes down to it, about the President and Russia."
