Sanders: White House tries 'never to be concerned' with Adam Schiff
By John Bowden - 05/01/18 03:21 PM EDT


White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took a pointed shot at Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.) on Tuesday during a press briefing, saying the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is of no concern to the administration.

Schiff had pointed out that reported questions leaked from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation appear to indicate that obstruction of justice on the part of President Trump is one of Mueller's chief concerns.

In response to a question from a reporter on Schiff's comments, Sanders dismissed the California lawmaker.

"We here at the White House try never to be concerned with anything dealing with Adam Schiff," she quipped.

"What discussions did you have regarding terminating the special counsel, and what did you do when that consideration was reported in January 2018?" is one of Mueller's questions, as reported by The New York Times.

Schiff fired back at Sanders on Twitter, writing, "If you’re not concerned, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, why won’t the President agree to an interview with Bob Mueller?"

Schiff has been a thorn in the Trump administration's side in his capacity as the top House Intelligence Committee Democrat, denouncing his panel's GOP-run probe into Russia's election interference as a partisan farce.

Trump has personally attacked Schiff on Twitter, calling him a "leaker" and a "liar."

“Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with [James] Comey, [Sen. Mark] Warner [D-Va.], [John] Brennan and [James] Clapper!” Trump tweeted in February.

In another tweet, the president referred to Schiff as "the leakin’ monster of no control."

4. We should all be comforting Schiff and patting him solicitously on the back. Because

SHS was mean.

5. I suspect

if Dems take back House majority in 2018, Trump will be sh*tting his Depends at the prospect of what Schiff will do with Trump's ridiculous minions during a properly handled intel committee investigation.
