CNN’s “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper reminded Schiff that Trump has “repeatedly called you the enemy from within. You and Speaker Pelosi specifically. And he said this about his enemies from within.”
“Do you think that he was talking about using the military against you, and how concerned are you about retribution?” Tapper asked Schiff.
Infowars.com reports: Schiff replied, “Clearly, that’s what he was talking about. Would he go to that length with the military and essentially fulfill some kind of an unconstitutional order? I would hope the military would have more independence than that. Historically, the military has stood up to civilian authority where civilian authority has suggested, as in his first administration, unconstitutional acts.”
“Um, look, I’m not going to be intimidated by anything he says, by anything he does,” he continued. “If I was, I wouldn’t be on your show. I’m going to do my responsibility in the Senate. Californians are expecting me, first and foremost, to try to work and get things done, work across the aisle. Where the president wants to fight prices, I will work with him.”
“Where the president wants to engage in unconstitutional abuses of power, just as he did in the first administration, I will defend our state. I will defend the rights and freedom of the American people. So, yeah, that’s what he said. That’s what he may try to do. But I’m not going to be intimidated,” Schiff added.
Tapper also asked Schiff if he had an regrets about pushing the Russian colluision hoax for years without evidence given that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and other “disruptors” chosen by Trump have vowed to bring accountability to those who perpetuated the false narrative.
Schiff, perhaps unsurprisingly, defended the debunked Russian collusion hoax and once again claimed it was true.
“You know, first of all, it wasn’t an overstatement. There is evidence of collusion,” Schiff insisted. “The Trump campaign manager was meeting with Russian intelligence and giving them internal polling data just to give you one example. The Mueller report sets all this out.”

Tapper reminded him that the Mueller report found Trump himself was unaware of members of the Trump campaign meeting with Russian officials.
Schiff replied, “He says the fact that we didn’t find proof beyond a reasonable doubt doesn’t mean there wasn’t evidence of conspiracy or coordination.”
As Infowars has exhaustively reported, the Russia collusion hoax was revealed to have been concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Obama administration and top FBI officials.
The House last year also voted to censure Schiff for using his privileged position as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to spread indisputable lies that Trump “colluded” with Russia.
Perhaps someone should remind Schiff that Trump just won the election in a landslide, showing the bogus Russia collusion narrative failed to dupe the American people.
