Schiff accuses Barr of lying over election intelligence
Source: CNN
(CNN)House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff on Sunday accused Attorney General William Barr of lying about intelligence related to foreign interference in the upcoming presidential election.
In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union," Schiff was asked about Barr's claim from last week's interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer that China is interfering with the election more than Russia.
"That's just a plain, false statement by the Attorney General. A flat-out false statement," Schiff said, maintaining, "you can tell that Bill Barr is just flat-out lying to the American people, and it's tragic but it's as simple as that."
He added: "It's just such a disservice to the country that we can't trust our own attorney general, but apparently Bill Barr is willing to do anything or say anything to help Donald Trump."

BTW I might be wrong but "they" are in too deep to allow the truth to come out and/or have Trump
lose the election. That includes DeJoy too.

contact the campaign and they didn't. Stone, Flynn, Manafort, Gates, Parscale, Hannity,
McConnell, Ryan, Sessions, and many more actively worked with Russia and or knew about it
and said nothing.

Winning elections under Trump can be done. Of course, I dont doubt theyll pull out all the stops to try to keep Trump in office. But take heart.

(25,962 posts)The term 'just flat-out lying' needs to be used more often, as it's sadly true all too often.

I love Schiff...but now is not the time to mollycoddle, cajole, or persuade....
It's time to call it what it is.....
TREASON -We need to say the word, prove the crime, apply hand cuffs.
Enforce Sentence. Don't forget this last part, the only part
they will understand. What was that punishment again.......
"IT IS WHAT IT IS" -DISTASTEFUL....BUT REQUIRED BY LAW.
