Schiff: If Working with Russia Is Our Best Election Defense, We May as Well Mail the Ballots to Moscow

‘I don’t think that’s an answer at all’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "How can we really believe that he pressed Putin hard when only the day before he was denying that we really knew that Russia was responsible? What kind of tough negotiator goes into a negotiation, only the day before he was denying that we really knew that Russia was responsible? What kind of tough negotiator goes into a negotiation, betraying his own position the day before, calling into the question the probativeity of his own intelligence agencies? Then saying we need to move on. I don’t think we can move on, and I don’t think that Russia could be a partner in a cyber question the probativeity of his own intelligence agencies? Then saying we need to move on. I don’t think we can move on, and I don’t think that Russia could be a partner in a cyber security unit. If that’s our best election defense we might as well mail our ballot boxes to Moscow. I don’t think that’s an answer at all."
