House intel chairman drops bomb on Dem narrative that Trump campaign colluded with Russia
The Blaze ^ | March 19, 2017 | Chris Enloe

A congressional investigation into whether or not President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials has so far yielded “no evidence,” according to the House Intelligence Committee chairman.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) explained Sunday on “Fox News Sunday” that based on all of the evidence his committee has so far investigated, he cannot conclude that there was any collusion whatsoever between Trump’s campaign and the Russians.

When asked by host Chris Wallace if there is any evidence to suggest collusion, Nunes replied, “I’ll give you a very simple answer: ‘No.'”

“Up to speed on everything I have up to this morning — no evidence of collusion,” he explained.

Nunes also said in the interview that he believes it’s “pretty clear” that there are elements in the government that are intentionally leaking information to “undercut” Trump.

“There’s even been stories written about it in numerous newspapers talking about how they said they left breadcrumbs around to hurt the Trump administration,” Nunes said.

“Clearly to leak Michael Flynn’s name talking to the Russian ambassador,” he added. “That was clearly designed to hurt Gen. Flynn and the president’s national security adviser.”

However, he clarified to say that he doesn’t necessarily believe the leaks are from people currently within the government, but rather they’re coming from disgruntled former government employees, such as people from former President Barack Obama’s administration.

“I think it was largely people maybe who were there, had classified information, who are now no longer there and decided to leak it,” Nunes explained.

But the left will keep trying to peddle this lie, in the belief that if they just repeat it enough, it becomes true.

The Dems have dreams of a ‘Special Persecuter’ in their heads.

You are attacking the basic foundation of the Democrat Party and Liberalism in general.

To liberals, if the facts contradict the narrative, then the facts lie.

Let them keep their false ideas on Trump, added to fake man made climate change, their beliefs about what is life, Muslims , the free market , and false narratives on racism. The Trump Russian collusion is just another delusion, cant fix stupid, and one great thing about their newly found McCarthyism, is no longer now can they push communist candidates as they have been so fond of the last 75 years... Trump has beat back the liberal Communist agenda, something all his republican predecessors failed to do...just let them try to cozy up to Communist reforms now !

The Dems know how to push and are always ready to do so.

I wish the Pubs would do the same.

That has been there goal since election night. I have never seen anything like it. The dimoKKKRATS are going all out to find something to impeach President Trump on.

Apparently Flynn was out of country when that call was made. He is still an American but he wasn’t in Trump Tower. I think there are people within the CIA that are going to make sure the proof is found.

There has to be a lot of good guys who hated what went on the last 8 years

You think he was the only one tapped? This is 0bama we’re talking about.

This was not a bomb on the Dems.

The Dems expected it — they have always known that there was no collusion between Trump and the Russians. The Pubs are sooo naïve.

Oh I know. I’m depending on the decent guys outing Brennen and his crew even though they think they covered their tracks

Bull, they’re saying, Trump, please call off your dogs and we’ll call off our dogs, i.e, the democrats blinked. They are dirty as hell and I do believe that they surveilled the Trump campaign and now they’re about to get caught.

“I think it was largely people maybe who were there, had classified information, who are now no longer there and decided to leak it,” Nunes explained. I am not as confident as he is, but then again I do not have information he may have either. I believe though that there are still some still working in the government that are doing it as well.

He is saying this in hopes it will end the investigation that has now been expanded to include things the democrats do not want publicized. Such as the Awan Brotherhood and how they got secret clearances from DWS and what was stolen in the 20 COngressional office burglaries, just to name a couple.

No phoney-baloney “Russians helped Trump” fabricated story is worth exposing their really dirty little secrets.

My Samsung turned itself on today and started talking to me.

It seems confused though. It keeps calling me Dave and I keep telling it "Dave's not here, man!"
