Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday that there is so far no evidence showing collusion between Donald Trump's campaign aides and Russian officials.

JAMES CLAPPER: We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, "our," that's N.S.A., F.B.I. and C.I.A., with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report.

CHUCK TODD: I understand that. But does it exist?

JAMES CLAPPER: Not to my knowledge.

I voted for Gary 'what is Aleppo' Johnson & I'm no fan of Pence BUT Pence IMO would be a few notches above Don Cheeto :lol:

Investigations and securing evidence take time. The tease has been to minimize the damage that Trump might make. If it wan't for that we would have a Russian stooge as Director of the NSA, sanctions against Russia would have been lifted and who knows what else. As it is we have a President that is undoing 70 years of diplomacy, weakening our alliances with democracies while making friends with dictators.

Investigations take time and often come up empty. You're assuming that the investigations will bear fruit.

If Trump was elected with Russian help then Pence was also elected with Russian help. If Trump resigns - Pence should be compelled to do the same.

I'm non-partisan when it comes to people who betray this nation. I care about this country and the citizens who live here which is why I could never be a liberal.

He is talking about the sarcastic comment Trump made about hacking Hillary's emails.

What "constant contacts" would that be? Besides Flynn, who is in constant contact with Russian agents? I'd like to them.

Watergate pales in comparison to Trump scandals: Clapper

https://www.yahoo.com/news/watergate-pales-comparision-trump-scandals-clapper-050821281.html

Sydney (AFP) - Watergate pales in comparison to the scandals engulfing Donald Trump and the Russia connection, former top US intelligence official James Clapper said Wednesday ahead of a key Senate hearing in Washington.

Clapper, who has worked in intelligence under every US leader from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama, said his professional instincts had always been loyalty to the president, regardless of which party they come from.

But for Trump he is making an exception.

"Now as a private citizen, I am very concerned about the assault on our institutions coming from both an external source -- read Russia -- and an internal source, the president himself," he said in Australia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I wonder what there really is to this, or is it more of the same ole same ole?

Your quote from the individual who should be doing prison time for PERJURY. Clapper is a documanted lying scumbag. End of story.

Whatever. If you want to keep insisting a sarcastic comment he made on the campaign trail was an actual invite to hack Hillary's emails, go at it. There is just no reasoning with some people who have their minds closed.
 
Absentglare said:
What evidence do you need?

Russia engaged in an espionage and disinformation campaign. Those hostile actions are being swept under the rug by an administration that directly benefitted from them. They are handing back the diplomatic compounds and trying to roll back the sanctions.

Does President Trump have to sign a certified letter, confessing to collusion, for you to understand what's going on?
Click to expand...

FFS!....EVERY country spies on one another. And every country, in some form or another tries to influence elections. Our former Presidents have certainly done it. And we were caught spying on the German Officials for gods sake! Has any of the past Presidents been impeached because of it, or raked over the coals like this?

Why does everyone ignore that fact??

It is YOU who are inventing crap like this BS about a sarcastic comment. Every time Trump gets a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth, you righties want to pretend its just chocolate coating his lips. Its sickening as its you folks who enable him and keep him going with this delusional insanity.

Pity that he's not involved in the investigation and yet still stated that this will make Watergate pale in comparison.

Watergate pales in comparison to the NSAs illegal unmasking under the Obama administration.
The NSAs own IG admitted the violations were wide spread.

FISAs opinion is available online for all to see, its evidence, something you people dont have when it comes to Russian collusion tin hattery

Then what? We appoint Hillary president? I swear, you are so predictable. The US has tried to influence the elections of other countries numerous times. So what if Russia tried to influence our election? Obama let them do it! There is absolutely zero evidence that they actually changed the election results and there is zero evidence that Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russians in order to win the election. Please go to the emergency room ASAP. There is a cure for rabies if you get there in time.

The Constitution provides for it. The Speaker of the House would be President if both resigned at the same time.

There is no need for you to be so personally insulting. It does not help your position.

I think Trump is NEARLY ALWAYS a condescending elitist smart ass who can come off as being a total prick. You call that sarcastic. Its just his normal demeanor.
