Adam Schiff: Jay Clayton’s Election Denial Doesn’t Make Him a Person ‘We Can Count on’ to Give Intel that Upsets Trump

‘He couldn’t say who won the election because he knows Donald Trump doesn’t want him to say that’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Well, look, what they do is they set the bar so low, like Pulte, this real estate guy, kind of a buffoon, really, they set the bar at Pulte. Isn’t anyone better than Pulte? Should we just jump at Clayton because he’s not Pulte? Clayton has very little experience. And as you saw today during the hearing, he couldn’t even answer a basic question that would have required him to speak truth to power. He couldn’t say who won the election because he knows Donald Trump doesn’t want him to say that. If he can’t say who won the election in 2020, how can we count on Jay Clayton to give it straight to the president, to Congress, when intelligence might contradict what the president prefers?"
