Pelosi on Clapper's 'No Evidence' of Trump-Russia 'Collusion' -We Need Investigation

[anatta]

Although the former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said he saw "no evidence" of "collusion" between Team Trump and Russia regarding the 2016 election, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that is what only Clapper apparently knows and a full investigation is needed.

As the Director of National Intelligence under President Barack Obama, Clapper's office oversaw intelligence gathering from the FBI, CIA, and NSA.

On the March 5 Meet the Press, NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Clapper if there was any evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, to which Clapper replied “not to my knowledge.” He added that while it is possible that new evidence has been produced since he left the government, he saw “no evidence of such collusion” while serving as Director of National Intelligence.

On March 9 on Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Pelosi: “On Sunday's Meet the Press, President Obama's Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said that for the agencies he oversaw -- CIA, FBI, and NSA -- to his knowledge there was ‘no evidence’ of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. Do you agree with Clapper?”

Well…he’s talking about to his knowledge,” the Minority Leader responded. “We haven’t had the investigation that we need to have, and that’s what we’re saying is follow the facts, follow the facts.”

We think there’s plenty of evidence,” Pelosi said, contradicting Clapper, “that shows for sure that the Russians were disruptive of our election. Follow the facts to the personal, political, and financial connection to Russia.”

The dems are brain dead on this..

ast week, on Meet the Press, Clapper said this:

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.

Ali Watkins of BuzzFeed talked to staffers on the Senate Intelligence Committee on their review of the information so far. A month into its sweeping investigation into the Kremlin’s efforts to undermine the US election, the Senate Intelligence Committee is expected to answer all those questions — publicly, coherently, and fast.

As the days tick by, they’re less and less sure they’ll be able to. Even some Democrats on the Intelligence Committee now quietly admit, after several briefings and preliminary inquiries, they don’t expect to find evidence of active, informed collusion between the Trump campaign and known Russian intelligence operatives, though investigators have only just begun reviewing raw intelligence. Among the Intelligence Committee’s rank and file, there’s a tangible frustration over what one official called “wildly inflated” expectations surrounding the panel’s fledgling investigation.

Is it likely that the Russians wanted to muck around, mess with Hillary, expose embarrassing information from the DNC and John Podesta, and undermine faith in the American system of elections? Yes, it is.
Is it likely that Russia saw Trump as a friendlier U.S. leader? Yes.

But based on what we know so far, and barring some stunning new revelation, the Senate Intelligence Committee is going to find that two separate entities (Russia and the Trump campaign) worked separately towards the same goal (Hillary’s defeat).
Surely the Trump campaign didn’t mind, and in fact gleefully touted the WikiLeaks revelations about the DNC and Podesta. But that isn’t the same as collusion, which is defined as “secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose.”
We don’t know what the Senate Intelligence Committee’s final report will say; the investigation is still ongoing.
But we know the intelligence community, with all of its resources and every incentive in the world, couldn’t find a smoking gun in the two-and-a-half months or so between Election Day and Inauguration Day.

go for it. like a dog chasing it's tail there is nothing there there- but if you are quoting "the American people" and Rush and McCain Warmongers you should look at the partisan breakdown:

The latest poll shows 51 percent of Democrats consider Russia a very serious threat, compared to 24 percent of Republicans who say the same.

I think you should double down on "Russia connection" and make yourselves look even more stupid
when the Intelligence Committees confirms the IC report that there is nothing there.

I don't require instructions from a brain dead ass-licking partisan clown .. and Russia won't go away because some ignorant fool wants it to.

Pelosi on Clapper's 'No Evidence' of Trump-Russia 'Collusion' -We Need Investigation

The FBI stated AFTER an exhaustive investigation that there was no evidence that Hillary Clinton broke any laws with regard to her email server either, but you and the slobbering dogs you run with still screamed "Put her in jail!!!!" anyway.

So dry your eyes and wipe the tears off of your faces.

Both of them.

I suggest LARGE AMOUNTS of coverage and HYPER-VENTILLATION..focusing on a nothingburger.

That's a winning political idea! (not)

The democrat party is going to begin trying to unwind themselves from this Russian mess they started as they now know it will backfire

They will claim something lame like "the republicans were never gong to do a serious investigation and we want no part"

 

[Bigdog]

Trump is playing the State media and the Democrats like a fiddle.

The dems are going to lead an investigation that will expose their own corruption over the last 8 years.

no. they are doubling down on this nothingburger

 

[Airstrip One]

This is a win-win for me, so I hope the investigation rages on. It either embarrasses the Dims, the Administration, or both.

but it's a real loss for rapproachment and de-escalation of the insanity of Cold War 2.0.
Our politics kill off a true Russian reset, and we and NATO as well as Russia are all gonna pay the price.
Money/manpower/international tensions/weapons escalations and not being able to play China card,
are all consequences of Russiaphobia

 

[PostmodernProphet]

well now we know it was the Demmycrats who got the warrant on Trump instead of the IC......not the deep state, instead the deep shit....
