Adam Schiff: I Like How General Mattis ‘Pushed Back on the Torture Issue’

‘I like how he’s pushed back on the torture issue’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Well, I think most of us like General Kelly. We -- he has a very good reputation. We want to know more about his views on immigration and some of the issues he hasn't directly confronted or at least not to the degree he will at the Department of Homeland Security. I like General Mattis very much. I like how he's pushed back on the torture issue. I like how he's frankly, very tough on Russia and I hope will talk some sense in the president-elect. And very strongly supportive of NATO. We are concerned, though, with appointing so many generals, and this I think is directly implicated in that statutory prohibition on filling the slot at secretary of defense with a recent retired military officer."
