Trump says “Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control” is “finally right about something”
“Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control” might be Trump’s best nickname yet. But nicknames aside, Trump gave Rep. Adam Schiff, his Russia/collusion arch nemesis a backhanded compliment Sunday.
Friday, the Department of Justice indicted 13 Russian nationals and 3 Russian entities. The DOJ also concluded that there was no willing or knowing collusion between an American citizen and Russian operatives nor did Russia’s feeble efforts to disrupt the 2016 election move the dial in any meaningful way.
Deputy AG Rosenstein was quite clear, “There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity,” adding “There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election.”
Nevertheless, Rep. Adam Schiff, who claimed there was “ample evidence” that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian agents, completely ignored Rosenstein, and continued to suggest Trump associates were guilty:
Sunday, Schiff changed his tune, saying maybe, just maybe, the Obama administration bears some responsibility here, seeing as they were aware Russia was planning to cause trouble but did nothing to prevent it.
Leading Trump to respond as Trump responds:
If ever there was a time when Trump’s braggadocio is warranted, it’s now. For over a year he and his ever-ambiguous ‘campaign associates’ have been accused of intentionally conspiring with Russia. A lengthy (and costly) investigation found no evidence to corroborate the accusations, all of which were based on inaccurate leaks, wish-casting, and supposition.
If we must carry on about Russia and their minimal electoral interference, if we can even call it that at this point, perhaps we should turn our focus to what the Obama administration knew and when they knew it.
