Ron Johnson: “The disinformation that Russia put into the 2016 campaign…”

“Every single inspector general of the intelligence community and of all these agencies has said, it was not a hoax. The Russians were trying to interfere. The hoax is that there is collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The disinformation that Russia put into the 2016 campaign flowed through the Steele dossier and Hillary Clinton. No, I'm not denying that Russia tried to intervene in our election. They've been doing it probably since their founding. That's what they do. I'm chairman of the Force Senate.” (11:05–11:13)
