Senate Democrat Who Claimed Hard Evidence of Trump-Russia Collusion: Uh, Never Mind
Townhall.com ^ | March 6, 2017 | Guy Benson

Posted on 03/06/2017 3:22:37 PM PST by Kaslin

Liberal Delaware Sen. Chris Coons caused a stir last week when he indicated during a televised interview that yet-undisclosed transcripts of recorded phone conversations conclusively prove that elements of the Trump campaign explicitly colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.  Yet widely-circulated "bombshell" reports from the New York Times and CNN in recent weeks quoted sources who had no choice but to underline that there is no evidence of such coordination, and that the alleged contacts between Trump allies and Russian officials were not even necessarily unusual in nature.  Therefore, it's understandable why this statement from Coons -- a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee -- touched off a fresh, feverish round of breathless speculation and rumors. Here's the clip, via MSNBC:

Sen. Chris Coons: 'Attorney General Jeff Sessions Lied to The Senate' | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC

COONS: I think it’s important that the outcome of that counter-intelligence investigation be fully shared with the intelligence committees, both in the House and the Senate. There are transcripts that provide very helpful, very critical insights into whether or not Russian intelligence and senior Russian political leaders, including Vladimir Putin, were cooperating, were colluding with the Trump campaign at the highest levels to influence the outcome of our election. And if that information is stonewalled or hidden away and if we are not able to get that on the Senate intelligence committee, House intelligence committee then I think that has real consequences for our democracy.

MITCHELL: Do such transcripts exist? Is that what you’re saying?

COONS: I have not seen them. I believe they exist.

But there was a transcript of Flynn speaking to an ambassador?

You are completely correct.

And Trump set them all up by being Mr. Nice Guy and praising Obama and Hillary.

Just waiting for Dems to try and sabotage him and his cabinet.

He only had praise for them and they stabbed him in the back. All the while plotting for heads to roll.

Same reason he kept Comey around. A severed head makes a lot more racket and attracts a lot more notice when it falls front a pinnacle of power.

If those transcripts don’t exist and the FISA court requests don’t exist, just what does?

It all goes back the the DNC and Podesta email leaks and Hillary saying "Don't look at those leaked emails, the Ruskies must of done that to help Trump".

That was followed with Obama's "Yea, that's the ticket... the Ruskies must have done that to help Trump. We'll look into it"

Then... the MSM: "The government has proof that the Ruskies were helping Trump!!!!!"

How do they know Senator Sessions met with the Russian ambassador? Because they wire tapped him, that’s why.

With all these leaks going on, if they had something on Trump it’d be out there already.

THEY HAVE NOTHING - the emperor has no clothes. They hyped this up so much to take down Trump, to try to convince people another investigation was needed (just a witch hunt/means to get tax returns, constantly smear Trump and demand resignation or impeachment)....only to find there’s nothing to the allegations and what is warranted is an investigation into illegal activities of the prior POTUS.

The problem they really have is idiots like Pelosi and Schumer wont shut up. This is going to blow up in their faces, due to their own arrogance.

I watched the interview with Senator Coons last night. When Wallace pressured him on the evidence, he spun like a top.

No. The Democrats are all reprobates. They mock God (Truth/Reality) (actually banned God as they promote Satanism) and they mock God’s Laws and force the Ba’al Rites of sodomizing others and baby-killing (sacrifice) into our “Justice” (virtue) System. They are vile and filthy—all of them.

Vice will collapse civil society (Cicero). Virtue is essential for free Republics (Montesquieu/Founders).

Sort of like the State of Delaware, aside from major incorporation advantages for all mega US Corps, and the credit card bank operators..... uh, never mind. Say that as you drive through- and it doesn’t take long. Got counties in Texas bigger. Another example why the Electoral College matters

I’ll have you know that there are a lot of very good people here. Unfortunately the state is surrounded by Uber liberalism. The northern county out populates the rest just as Kalifornia and NY do. The influx of people from NY and NJ trying to escape high taxes gave us the asshat Coons.

I’ve got a Maine Coon cat that is smarter then this piece of Delaware mental pollution. And they voted this idiot in?

I know what’s in their water so that is a real possibility why the voters of that state are such fools.

He looks like an assistant principal of a generic junior high school somewhere in the Midwest.

So if the transcripts exist, and they are sourced from recorded phone conversations from the Trump Tower side of the phone calls, the transcripts are then added proof of the illegal wiretapping. Is that the gist of it?

Correct me if I am wrong, but do we even have PROOF that Russia was the entity that hacked the DNC?
