Adam Schiff on trump and russian poisoning....

Link to tweet

Trump refuses to personally condemn Russia over the poisoning of individuals in Britain. Had a Russian nerve agent been used on someone in our country, could we count on on our President to speak out then? What would it take?

1. Let's hope we don't

have to find out.. better left to the imagination

[spanone]

2. trump has NEVER spoken ill of russia or putin...

it's pretty obvious putin owns our 'president'

[bronxiteforever]

3. +1

[Cha]

4. There is absolutely

no doubt in anyone's mind.. he doesn't even try.

[Soxfan58]

9. If you want to prove no collusion

And your not putins puppet. Don't act like putins puppet.

[pandr32]

24. It looks like he can't

Not just won't.

[nocalflea]

5. It would take the deaths of Americans.

But then Trump would only "speak out " due to pressure/optics.

Then he would find a way to blame the victims.

[Thunderbeast]

14. Only members at Mara Lago

[nocalflea]

23. Yes, only "the best" Americans.

[bigbrother05]

21. Thoughts and prayers, which are both empty coming from the Dotard

and Nunes would open an investigation on why Hillary & Obama let it happen

[Iliyah]

6. As a GOP coward, he's blame the victims, Dems, Liberals, Progressives,

Mother Theresa, the Pope, MLK, Jr., "Fake" News, Journalists, et al., and the Republican Party will back him up.

Sad.

That said, I truly hope it doesn't happen.

10. most of all 'OBAMA'

[rurallib]

7. Putin could poison Melania on 5th Avenue in the daylight

and Trump would help wash his hands.

[dalton99a]

18. Melania and Barron

[avebury]

22. Particularly because he would be

Going after Wife #4.

[NewJeffCT]

8. If Putin blocked Trump on Twitter

then maybe Trump would speak out

[Tanuki]

11. We already know what he would say....

"It may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer."

12. A big thanks to Adam Schiff for continuing to speak out...

... and doing all he can to aid in the discovery and exposure of the truth. So terrible for our country that we have a Russian plant who brings such despicable, deplorable scandal and lack of character to the office of the Presidency and so discouraging and disgraceful that the GOP does everything they can to obfuscate, obstruct, and obscure the facts. If we come out of this as a nation, it will be because of the efforts of those who hold our Constitution in the utmost regard, as Congressman Schiff so obviously does.

13. 👍🏼

15. Putin would fire him (or worse) if he did. nt

[UCmeNdc]

16. There is reasons to believe that this poisoning was a setup to test Trump's loyalty toward Putin

Why did Russia use a nerve agent that so clearly leads back to Russia? It is as if the Russians are challenging the US leaders to blame them. Some are saying that Putin did this to see if Donald Trump would challenge him and Russia or instead Trump will just fold under.

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. Yes!

[ananda]

17. Schiff is my first choice for next president!

Please!!!!

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. Putin will continue to test and embarrass

Trumpy. He’ll make it obvious that he has Trumpy by the balls and he won’t stop squeezing. Trumpy won’t cry uncle. He’ll take the abuse because he has too much to lose. This is Putin’s defining moment. He has the President of the United States wrapped around his little finger.

[Liberalagogo]

25. Shithole would only care

if Shithole, and only Shithole itself, got sick.

[GallopingGhost]

26. There is a

terrific article on Schiff in the March issue of Time. Read it yesterday.

He has largely escaped notice before now due to his unassuming manner and measured demeanor, but make no mistake, he is one of our front-line fighters in the Russia investigation.

[spanone]

27. Thank You for that....will read!!

[Mc Mike]

28. He knows there are some very fine people among the FSB's Poisoner Brigade.

[MontanaMama]

29. He is terrified that he might on the Putin poison list.

Which explains his attachment to fast foods. Somebody needs to plant the seed that many people are saying that Russia is infiltrating McDonalds and KFC restaurants just to mess with the Dotard. His very small brain would blow a fuse.

[Erda]

31. I'm thinking the same thing.

I think the poisoning could be a warning to both Trump and Manafort that Putin can reach them anywhere and at any time.

[Nitram]

30. Whether Trump spoke out or not would depend on who was poisoned.

If it was Clinton, he'd publicly praise the assassin and pardon them. If it was Ivanka, he'd launch a nuclear attack on a random target.

[lark]

32. Russia has his balls in a vise and he's a total coward.

If they harmed Ivanka, he'd still not personally condemn them because he is all he truly cares about. Only them letting out tapes of his treachery against American voters would get him to condemn them and they won't do that until they've destroyed us and they think they've gotten everything they can from him.
