Dem Leader: The only one attacking America is Trump
TPM:
Speaking from the Senate floor, Schumer called Muellers probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election critical to the health of our democracy and demanded the investigation must be allowed to continue.
Special counsel Mueller has uncovered a deep and detailed pattern of Russian interference in our elections, Schumer said. It has led to several indictments and guilty pleas. It has also led the Trump administration itself to level sanctions against Russian individuals for meddling in our elections. That is proof positive that Muellers investigation is not a so-called witch hunt.
Schumer also criticized Trump for calling the FBI raid an attack on our country and suggesting the only person engaging in an attack on American values is unfortunately President Trump.
With due respect, President Trump, America has been around for over two and a half centuries, he said. An investigation of your personal attorney is not an attack on our country. The Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor was an attack on our country. 9-11 was an attack on our country. When Russia interfered with our elections, that was an attack on our country. Investigating your personal lawyer with a high standard to be met is certainly not an attack on our country.
