House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Tuesday called Attorney General William Barr the “second-most-dangerous man in the country.”
“We find ourselves, I think, for the first time with an attorney general who really is the president’s defense lawyer and spokesperson who’s quite good at it and has the veneer of respectability to camouflage what he’s doing,” Schiff said, referring to Barr, during remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C.
“He is not the sophist that Giuliani is, he’s much more dangerous, and I think he’s the second-most-dangerous man in the country,” he added, referring to President Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Schiff, a frequent critic of Trump, did not say whom he believes is the most dangerous man in the U.S.
His comments on Tuesday echo similar statements he made in a USA Today op-ed last month when he wrote that Barr was and “grossly unfit for office.”

And only second because he doesn’t have access to the nuclear codes. https://t.co/gG75kKvwAG
