TK’s Matt Orfalea spliced together two more montages.
A California congressman discovers a new favorite word, while the
CIA's former Chief of Staff auditions to become MSNBC's next
super-anchor
The first, “Adam Schiff Says ‘Kremlin’ a Lot,” is self-explanatory,
but no less damning.
The California congressman came out of the womb spouting Cold War
bromides, and since the beginning of the Trump presidency surpassed
even all Russians as the most Russia-focused person on earth. Usually,
public figures are taught in Basic Media Training to push out three
planned messages per TV appearance irrespective of questions asked.
The House Intelligence Chair during the laptop fiasco whittled his
message down to an impressive single word: “Kremlin!”
We came across this tweet that is worth the price of admission...
btw the most 👀 passage from Hurd's book is his evisceration of Adam Schiff
notable for a number of reasons -- chief among them, Hurd's
reputation for collegiality and rarely calling out Hill colleagues by
name https://t.co/5L0V8Dg1P7 pic.twitter.com/Z6Q39ULraS

The second video, “Russia Russia Russia,” shows former CIA Chief of
Staff Jeremy Bash hammering the message about the laptop looking like
a “classic Russian playbook disinformation campaign.”
Bash, a signatory to the original “group letter” denouncing the laptop
story as having the “classic earmarks of a Russian information
operation,” joins the likes of John Brennan, James Clapper, Chuck
Rosenberg, Michael Hayden, Frank Figliuzzi, Fran Townsend, Stephen
Hall, Samantha Vinograd, Andrew McCabe, Josh Campbell, Asha Rangappa,
Phil Mudd, James Gagliano, Jeremy Bash, Susan Hennessey, Ned Price,
Rick Francona, Michael Morell, John McLaughlin, John Sipher, Thomas
Bossert, Clint Watts, James Baker, Mike Baker, Daniel Hoffman, Susan
Rice, Ben Rhodes, David Preiss, and Evelyn Farkas as former
intelligence or counterintelligence officials who’ve gotten paid
on-air contributor jobs, in case you were worried the CIA and FBI were
not able to get their message across to the public. Here’s Matt’s (as
usual) on-target rip on MSNBC:
