Donald Trump crows Adam Schiff 'knew all along there was no Russian collusion' after interview transcripts show intelligence officials telling House Intel Committee they had no evidence of it

The California Democrat has asserted since launching his investigation that there was behind-the-scenes evidence proving there was collusion and would tease the he could not 'go into particulars.'

'The Russians offered help, the campaign accepted help,' Schiff told CNN in December 2017. 'The Russians gave help and the President made full use of that help.'

But the Journal asserts: 'None of this was true, and Mr. Schiff knew it.'

In one instance of contradictory testimony, Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Schiff and the panel of lawmakers in December 2017 that he 'never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election.'

Barack Obama's former Attorney General Loretta Lynch agreed in her testimony about three months later.

Has Shiff responded? Or is he hiding under his desk?

I wish he would stop saying that. There WAS Russian collusion. It was between Hillary and Russia, though.

A high school friend of mine sent this to me a few minutes ago. He is a retired Colonel from Delta Force, and he sent me this text that was sent to him from a DC lobbyist. He gave me the Okay to post this here.

“From a friend who is a lobbyist in DC:
At least two high level players have struck deals with Durham. What is about to be revealed is that the NSA monitoring which goes back before a Trump won nomination, had a very specific purpose—to collect evidence of trumps ‘shady’ financial relationships which the Dems were certain they’d find b/c every business bends rules and uses loopholes —unfortunately for them Trump had none—but they just knew that couldn’t be true and their legal experts told them that any info on his business could be easily turned against him as a crime-(eg Manafort) so the Russia thing was the cover they used to get FISA warrants that would allow them to continue wire-tapping him and his team-this also underscores how huge it was when Adm Rogers discovered and shut down their illegal monitoring op—although frustrated they were still confident when Mueller investigation started b/c they thought for sure one of Mueller’s targets would turn and tell them of all trumps illegal business deals—ironically what really saved DJT and the nation was Trumps squeaky clean ethics and history.”

The DAILY BEAST weighs in with this snarky editorial-—

People Are Dying, the Economy Is Collapsing and Trump Wants You to Look at This Squirrel

The rats in Trump’s abandoned hometown are fighting each other and resorting to cannibalism as the virus has shuttered businesses and restaurants and cut off their food supply.

The seriousness of the charges matter even if the charges are ridiculous,as when it was asserted that GW Bush flew to Paris in an SR71 to meet with Iranians to get them to not release the hostages.

Ethics are unknown among the DNC.

Schiffhead subverted the legislatuve branch of the government in a seditious attempt to overthrow a Constitutionally-elected president on false charges.

For that Schiff should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison, if not a short drop and quick stop.

What many people here on FR (and on other websites) don't understand is that there is a specific timetable relating to the election for dropping these bombs.

If you drop them too soon, the disrupted Democrat Media artillery battalions can re-group and begin pouring fire into the Good Guys again.

I'm not certain of the timetables, because I'm not "in the know" about inside Washington baseball.

I just know that the inside Washington baseball exists.

I would like to see 6’8” Comey put into a prison cell that is 6’5” tall, so that he has to stoop over all the time, or spend his time on his knees.

Adam Schiff did so much damage to this country. He should be exiled to Siberia.

The point being made by our President is a legal one.

#Knowingly.

How many times was Schiff at this place in his thinking?

I'm shorting Schiff futures.

Yes, he says this is just a diversion away from the horrible job Trump is doing with the virus.

“Adam Schiff did so much damage to this country. He should be exiled to Siberia.”

What makes you think they’d take him?

If we’re going to banish him to someplace cold, let’s just set him adrift on an ice floe near Antarctica.

This is the problem with having hack politicians on these committees asking questions, and not skilled attorney. When I hear an answer like "...never saw any direct empiracle evidence..." I would ask at least three more questions.

Q1: Did you ever see any direct evidence...?

Q2: Did you ever see any empiracle evidence...?

Q3: Did you ever see any evidence...

Then I would expect Clapper to have been asked about the word "saw".

Q4: Mr. Clapper, you've testified that you never saw any evidence...Did you receive any evidence...? Are you aware of any evidence...?

Somebody needed to put that MFer in a box from which he could not later escape.
