“I don’t trust this court decision. You know, being a practicing lawyer in commercial transactions, I think the whole premise of the case, which all legal analysts have said is unusual, is not really justifiable. We’ll have to see ultimately how the appeals run in this case.
“But I think if this case stands, it’s going to be a threat to really just all businesses, including those who are currently operating in New York. You know, all of those trust issues were taken into consideration as the country elected him to president last time.
“And his record as president is what we really need to look at. Our country was stronger. Our economy was stronger. And — and I think our border certainly being secured is probably the most important issue that Americans are going to look at.” – House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner, today on Meet The Press.
Turner is currently under fire from both sides of the aisle for his warning about a Russian security threat, which has been called overblown and a breach of military intelligence.
