Mr Schindler said that taken one by one these conversations were “not all that persuasive” but that collectively “they demonstrate collusion”.

In another tweet, he said: “One intercepted convo between two senior Kremlin guys talking about collusion w/Trump isn’t a big deal; a bunch of them = a very big deal.”

This is why they're not sharing intelligence with him because they're getting ready to bury his administration.

Here's the little problem with this "story".

Revealing National Security Intelligence information is a crime punishable by up to 10 years in a Federal Prison.

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information—

(1) concerning the nature, preparation, or use of any code, cipher, or cryptographic system of the United States or any foreign government; or

(2) concerning the design, construction, use, maintenance, or repair of any device, apparatus, or appliance used or prepared or planned for use by the United States or any foreign government for cryptographic or communication intelligence purposes; or

(3) concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government; or

(4) obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the communications of any foreign government, knowing the same to have been obtained by such processes—​

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.​

So why would anyone risk this result by knowingly, willfully, revealing this information?

Perhaps because no one did.....

Exactly. So there is likely no story here. Just more conjecture and speculation masquerading as truth for the irredeemably gullible to respond to.

Investigate. Just investigate it all. The alleged Russian connections and the alleged wire taps. Shine light on the whole mess and let's see what there is to see. All this speculation and hearsay is not good for the country.
