Schumer hadnt seen that week before, he couldnt have known it wasor coming. For one of the most calculating politicians in washington, it was a rare unscripted moment. And so for the first time in a long time, Chuck Schumer just went with the unvarnished truth. Watch what he said. Let me tell you, you take on the Intelligence Community, they have six ways from sunday of getting back at you.
