Is Trump done yet? AKA: Trump Asked Intel to issue False Statements

Clapper said there was no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia....if those are the facts, why can't anyone else say it publicly....

James clapper said that was a mischaracterization of the statement.

He also said he wasn't privy to every bit of information the FBI has.

Well, it might be useful, first, to explain the unique position that the FBI occupies in that it straddles both intelligence, as a part of the intelligence community and law enforcement.
My practice during the six and a half years that I was at DNI was always to defer to the director of the FBI, be it Director Bob Mueller or Director Jim Comey on whether, when, and what to tell me about a counterintelligence investigation when the possibility was there that this could devolve into some sort of a criminal investigation.
So I left it to the judgment of the FBI and that was certainly the practice I followed here. But that was consistent with what I did during the whole six and a half years.
So it's not surprising or out of — or abnormal that I would not have known about the investigation, or, even more importantly, the content of that investigation.
So I don't know if there was collusion or not. I don't know if there is evidence of collusion or not, nor should I have in this particular context.

I think we should simply ask WHAT it would take for Trump supporters to ditch Trump. Then, when Trump does it, we can at least hold them to account. As it stands, it's like trying to nail Jell-o to a wall.

A shred of evidence would be nice.

You are asking for evidence into collusion. Wait for the investigation, if the metric fuckton of connections to Russia throughout the campaign aren't enough for you. Frankly, I don't care about collusion. Trump has already done so much that would tank another president, outside of collusion.
