Rep. Adam Schiff: Donald Trump Is ‘a Propaganda Piece for the Kremlin’

SCHIFF: "This is deeply concerning. It is one thing when he doesn’t get regular briefings but it's another one when he actually does get briefing and ignores what the intelligence community’s best assessments are. There is really overwhelming evidence of the Russian involvement in these hacks. By continuing to deny it he’s essentially become a propaganda piece for the Kremlin. They would love to sow doubt about their involvement in our campaign and the President-elect is giving them the most phenomenal cover. I find this so deeply disturbing because during the campaign and now after the campaign he’s still willing to disregard the plain intelligence. It means that when it doesn’t suit him, he will ignore it. He will decide to choose his own facts. You simply can’t have that in a commander-in-chief. There is going to come a time in this country where we have a national security crisis. The American people are going to need to believe him and this makes it really difficult.”
