House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) called on members of both parties to come together to condemn and investigate yet another Russian effort to influence the presidential election in Donald Trumps favor.
During an interview with MSNBCs Rachel Maddow on Monday, the California lawmaker responded to the alarming new report that Russia was caught hacking Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company on whose board Hunter Biden served.
According to The New York Times, Russians could be searching for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens the same kind of information that Mr. Trump wanted from Ukraine when he pressed for an investigation of the Bidens and Burisma, setting off a chain of events that led to his impeachment.

I do find it deeply disturbing, and I would hope that maybe both parties can get out ahead of this, even if the president wont, and condemn any Russian effort to influence the next election, Rep. Schiff said.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) says the intelligence community did not inform him or his committee of Russias latest attempt to interfere in American elections. He only found out about it from The New York Times
Schiff said:
This is, indeed, exactly what Bob Mueller warned about in his testimony that the Russians would be at this again. Director Wray has said the same thing, and they appear, if this reporting is correct, to be in the midst of another hacking and potentially another dumping operation designed to influence another election in Donald Trumps favor. It is clear if thats the case that once again they have a favorite. They dont want Joe Biden, it would appear from this target, and this would help Donald Trump. And I think the other thing thats apparent from this, if this reporting is correct, is the message that Vladimir Putin has gotten is not to stay out of American elections but youre welcome to get involved in American elections as long as it helps Donald Trump. It seems to be the message that President Trump has conveyed, at least the message that Vladimir Putin has received. So were going to start by finding out what our intel agencies know about this. I have to say, Rachel, Im a bit distressed to see this for the first time in a newspaper report. If the intel community is aware of this, that should have been brought to our attention by now. But I dont find it surprising. I do find it deeply disturbing, and I would hope that maybe both parties can get out ahead of this, even if the president wont, and condemn any Russian effort to influence the next election.
The House Intelligence Committee chairman only found out about the latest attack from news reports.

They are going to go full deep fake on this. No matter who the candidate is, dirt will suddenly appear, but will be fake.

(47,573 posts)They don't need actual corruption or scandals. They just want to create the appearance of one or make one up. Then if they can get people to talk about it enough, it will be assumed it is true, like emails and Benghazi.
