House Intelligence witnesses ready to talk Russia
Selected excerpts[Washington Examiner] "There’s almost nothing about Russia’s interference in the campaign that wasn’t known to the president and the Obama administration in real time, and they didn’t think it was that big of a deal at the time that it happened," McCarthy said. "I think that’s largely because everybody thought that Mrs. Clinton was going to win, and so this took on a greater dimension when she lost." McCarthy supported DOJ’s inquiry and critiqued what he saw as a largely incurious media. "Here we have foreign powers that were giving information to the Obama administration and we have foreign spies hired to give information to the Clinton campaign, and they’re not particularly interested." And McCarthy said he agreed that Trump’s friendly comments toward Putin and his skepticism of the U.S. intelligence community are troubling. "I get it. I’m totally with you. We should look into all of that, but you don’t want to see what’s behind curtain number two?" he said. Emphasis added Posted by: Besoeker 2019-06-12 |
