Schiff Was on Kremlin-Backed RT in 2013 to Discuss Push for Greater FISA Transparency
So it’s ok that Democrats for years appeared on RT, and for decades before that pushed whatever chaos Russians/Soviets wanted them to, anything that criticized the US. But suddenly somehow, the GOP is ‘treasonous?” Or ‘doing Putin’s work’ when actually their whole conspiracy theory does exactly that.
Quote:Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.) discussed his push for making the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court more transparent in 2013 on the Kremlin-funded media outlet RT, a channel he has since criticized for being a Russian propaganda network.
“We know a lot about the Russian operation, about the way they amplified the damage their hacking and dumping of stolen documents was causing through the use of slick propaganda like RT, the Kremlin’s media arm,” Schiff said during a congressional hearing on March 20.
“Donald Trump appoints one of his high profile surrogates, Michael Flynn, to be his national security adviser. Michael Flynn has been paid by the Kremlin’s propaganda outfit, RT, in the past, as well as another Russian entity,” Schiff said at the same hearing.
Schiff has also been a critic of House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes’ (R., Calif.) memo criticizing the Justice Department’s FISA application methods regarding former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, recently saying that federal law enforcement sources will be less likely to come forward because they might have their identity revealed.
