Denny Heck: When Asked If I Believe the Russians Will Be Back, My Response Is They Never Left

RUSH EXCERPT:

REID: "Joining me now is one of the members of Congress who was in that election security briefing last week, democratic congressman Denny heck of Washington. Congressman heck, thank you so much for being here. I want to get right to that meeting. Thank you, sir. I want to get right to that meeting. What I’m interested in knowing about your Republican colleagues, and I know there’s limits on what you can say about what you all were told, but what seemed to be their response? Was their response, in your view, one of saying this is a threat, we take it seriously, or one of saying we don’t want to hear this. This only could hurt Republicans, don’t tell us?"
HECK: "Well, joy, thanks for the question. Obviously, as you indicated, I can neither confirm nor deny anything that went on in the meeting. I’m not one to characterize the utterances of my colleagues in a classified setting. However, the past three years have been instructive enough, have they not? After all, we’re in a same song, same verse circumstance here. The Mueller report clearly documented that the Russians interfered in our elections in furtherance of Donald Trump, then candidate’s, election. I have said repeatedly over the last three years when I asked do I think the Russians will be back, my response is, back? I don’t believe they ever left. So that is what it is. Furthermore, as outrageous as this is, as violative of our security, the plain fact of the matter, cold blooded clear eyed fact, the remedy is November."
