<\/a><\/p>\nCalifornia Rep. Adam Schiff, the leading Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, has not been shy about calling out Russia for its alleged attempts to influence U.S. elections through hacking. Nor has he shied away from criticizing Donald Trump for continuing to question<\/a> whether the DNC hack was Russian-led, as multiple intelligence agencies<\/a> have determined. On MSNBC today, he said Trump\u2019s denials<\/a> make him a \u201cpropaganda piece for the Kremlin.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s used that line of attack, nor is Trump the first person to find himself on the business end of it. On Wednesday, Schiff appeared on Tucker Carlson\u2019s Fox News show to talk about this very issue. Like Trump, Carlson has questions about whether Russia\u2019s role in the hacking has been proven. Noting the intelligence community was also certain about the WMDs in Iraq, he describes himself as \u201cskeptical\u201d of Schiff\u2019s willingness to blame Vladimir Putin for the hack of John Podesta\u2019s Gmail account. The interview reached a crescendo when Schiff accused the Fox host of being a Russian agent \u2014 \u201cYou\u2019re carrying water for the Kremlin!\u201d \u2014 and Carlson repeatedly dared Schiff to look into the camera and say, without equivocation, that he knew Russia was responsible for hacking John Podesta\u2019s emails.<\/p>\n The whole exchange is entertaining, but the video starts with the good stuff.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HDtvYHOY_Uc<\/p>\n
