Schiff on Georgia FBI raid: Admin willing to go 'extraordinary and lawless lengths' - ABC News
Here are the key points from Senator Schiff's interview:
• Election interference concerns: Schiff warns that Trump may attempt to subvert the upcoming midterm elections, citing his past actions during the 2020 election and recent statements about "nationalizing" elections.
• Georgia FBI raid controversy: Schiff questions why the FBI raided Georgia ballot facilities five years after the 2020 election, and expresses alarm that the Director of National Intelligence was present with Trump on the phone during the operation.
• "Big lie" continuation: Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville and others are allegedly laying groundwork to challenge election results by claiming fraud without evidence, similar to 2020 election denial.
• Voter mobilization strategy: Schiff argues the best defense against election interference is massive voter turnout, as he believes Republican senators and the Supreme Court won't adequately constrain Trump.
• Opposition to SAVE Act: Schiff opposes Republican-backed voting restrictions requiring proof of citizenship, arguing they would disenfranchise millions of Americans who lack required documents.
• Photo ID debate: When pressed on the 83% public support for photo ID requirements, Schiff maintains opposition, stating it would still disenfranchise citizens without proper identification.
