    Not Evidence of Collusion.....


    Yesterday former CIA Director John Brennan said the notion that Russia tried to interfere in our election and the allegations of collusion were well founded. At the same time, that doesn’t mean he has evidence of collusion, which he outright said he did not have. Brennan's exact words were “I don’t know.” So, if the media and the Left get excited about the Russian collusion allegations being confirmed, here's some cold water. The former CIA director said that interactions and meetings with the Russians during the 2016 cycle are not evidence of collusion. He noted that suspicions and inquiries are warranted due to the alleged activity being executed in the timeframe of a presidential election. Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) asked MR. Brennan “if someone left this hearing today and said you had indicated that those contacts were evidence of collusion or collaboration, they would be misrepresenting your statements, correct?”

    “They would have misheard my response to the very good questions that were asked of me,” the former CIA director said. “I’m trying to be as clear as possible in terms of what I know, what I assess, and what I can say.”

    Turner pressed on asking, “But you would say that a misinterpretation of your statement, yes?”

    “I would say that it’s not an accurate portrayal of my statement. Absolutely—it was inconsistent with my remarks,” replied Brennan.....snip~

    Uh oh......there goes the Demos and their Cult followings idea about Trump and Russian Collusion. Soon the MS Media will be telling them to not expect much nor any evidence that there is. Muellar will now have the CIA, the NSA, and the DNI all saying there was no Collusion. Which if they didn't see any, its highly unlikely that the FBI would have. Especially after interviewing those in the IC.

    The Demos are running out of Excuses about meetings with the Russians. The Demos should then be puton display for making more out of things than what was actually there. What say ye?

    There is suspicion of collusion but no evidence yet.

    That's why the investigation is ongoing instead of heads rolling.

    Yet most of all the questioning is from before he left Office. Its why the Demos wanted him to testify. Thinking they had collusion.

    Its clear the Demos and their Cult following have made more out of whats actually there. You're one of them. Hence the excuse.

    Yeah, but suspicion isn't cleared so the case isn't closed.

    Trump's obstruction is a sign that truth hasn't been revealed yet.

    I think it's honest to say the suspicion will be there even if no collusion is found.

    Trump is a Narcissist. He feeds off of animosity. And so far to date, there is nothing to show he has obstructed any investigation. Now playing off them and keeping the Demos and their cult following into the feeding frenzy is a different story.

    True, some will never let it go, but their voices become irrelevant.

    I didn't make more of anything. I posted his comments. Be more worried about why the trump folks all lied about their Russian contacts.

    No, my statement was correct. But if you want to play semantics feel free to entertain yourself.

    So then that would include Demos to. Like the Podesta brothers. Which Demo invited the Russian Ambassador to sit on the floor of Congress with them?

    Oh, Flynn lied to pence. So this means trump's folks lied. LOL

    Thing is, there is nothing illegal about anyone in trump's campaign talking to Russians. If they had talked to the brits or Japanese, there would not have been an investigation. LOL Only the Russians. One would think they were still the communist USSR. Promoting their communist revolution to take down capitalism.

    One even got the idea that senators or congressmen should never have spoken to Russians at all for this looks suspicious. LOL Yet it is a part of their job, until 2016. Now it means the only reason they would speak with Russian would be to commit treason.
