Transcripts of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe show Obama officials testifying time and again that they had no evidence of collusion with the campaign of President Trump in 2016.
Regardless of this knowledge, Chairman Adam Schiff repeatedly stated through friendly media outlets that there was “direct evidence” of collusion.
The transcripts were released Thursday evening after Schiff was pressured by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who advised that if the Democrat was not “willing” to release them to congressional members, he would do it himself.
Repeatedly Stated No Evidence
The House intel transcripts show a who’s who of Obama-era officials telling the committee that they had found no evidence of Russia collusion.
- Former National Security Adviser, Susan Rice was asked whether she had evidence of collusion: “I don’t recall intel or evidence to that effect.”
- Former Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said, “I saw indications of potential coordination, but I did not see, you know, the specific evidence of the actions of the Trump campaign.”
- Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the conspiracy: Do “not recall that being briefed up to me,” and “I can’t say that it existed or not.”
- Former campaign Chair for Hillary Clinton, John Podesta: “I have no specific facts or information relating to conversations that may have been had between people from the Trump campaign and either Assange or representatives of the Russian Government, other than
what I’ve read in the paper.”
NEW: former DNI James Clapper says : “I 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.” — in transcript of interview with House Intel during its Russia probe.

Schiff Not the Only Liar
That last one from former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is pretty intriguing. He, like Schiff, went on friendly leftist television and stated the exact opposite of what he testified to.

Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire notes that Clapper was paid by fake news site CNN to opine on matters involving Russia collusion, and apparently lied to their viewers.
“What was the Trump campaign (sic) doing the same time was essentially aiding and abetting the Russians,” he said.
Clapper made those remarks to the House Intel Committee on July 17, 2017

Schiff Lied, Collusion Died
Schiff, in his role as the House Intel Chair, presented lies to the American people as if he had classified information that pointed to direct collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.
“I think there is direct evidence in the emails from the Russians through their intermediary offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what is described in writing as the Russian government effort to help elect Donald Trump,” Schiff said during a CBS interview in March of 2019.
Schiff would also claim that he had “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion.
He lied. The transcripts prove it. And nobody who represents an intelligence committee should be allowed to present false information and continue working in such capacity going forward.

so, the big question now is, how much time in prison should he get for trying to bring down the man? or should old shiffty be hung for treasonous activities to the u.s., i say the latter should do it.
The transcripts should be the key that locks the cell door at the penitentiary for these corrupt liars for DECADES!…
It is time for Schiff to be tried for the crimes he has committed while in Congress.
These people should go to Prison ASAP
These statements are defamatory and they are all done with actual malice because they obviously knew that their statements were false when they made them. That means that they can’t hide behind the public figure loophole. Flynn, Trump, all of them have huge libel cases against these people.
There must be reprocussions for the people who tried to overthrough a duely elected president. What they did is the classical definition of treason.
Soooo now Adam Schiff is a liar? We all knew that 2 years ago. Difference is now there is hard evidence that Adam Schiff lied to congress and to the American people! He needs to be censured! When the Republicans take over the House the first thing thay need to do is investigate Adam Schiff and Krispy Kreme Nadler for treason!
Well we waisted $40M dollars and three years doing the only two things that liberals know how to do, legislate and spend the country into a hole that our grandchildren and their children will never get out of.
But an infinite amount of evidence Obummer’s administration colluded with them!
Every one of these Obama error officials lied to the public. But none all of them Underoath we’re so cowardly that they could not tell the truth then they all used some type of well I never did see anything but it might have been there when they testified. Now my mother used to tell me if someone lies to you even want you can never trust that person to tell you the truth ever. So I say round every one of them up including Obama and shoot them all up with sodium pentathol and make them tell the truth. Here’s some of the questions I would ask. First question for Obama is where were you really born. Next question is Michelle Obama really a transvestite. Are both your girls yours or where they rentals. Next question is Hillary Clinton guilty of Benghazi. Next question did you know about Hillary Clinton’s private server and when did you know. Next question do you know anything else that Hillary Clinton has hidden from public. Next question were you responsible for starting the Russian hoax and if not who was. Next question which one of these obama-era officials who lied to the public and what were the lies. And my last question but I’m going to throw out there is where have you hidden all the incriminating evidence and how do we get to it. now folks there’s another thousand questions we could ask and I am taking for granted we would ask all the other appropriate questions about the phony Trump prosecution and I’m not even going to get into that
James Kallstrom for head of the FBI
How can Schiff and the others believe they are not lying? Do they even care? It seems like many democrat party constituents are perfectly okay with a lie if it serves what they believe will indulge their need to be part of the power group. TDS, a form of intellectual disability, is their way of shutting down their conscience by sticking their fingers in their ears and chanting, “No , no, no, no!!!!” What are facts in their political philosophy? If it doesn’t serve their secular Marxist oriented ends there are no lies too big and such lies they believe are good even necesssary. Even the volume of lies Schiff has told will not offend or convince them they are following a piper to the river.
No big surprise. “Lie, sure we lie, it works doesn’t it”–Harry Squeeker Reid swan song …royal mantra of the Left. Decades of lies, division, diversions, (attempted) destruction of the foundation of this country, deceit, terrorism, traitorous efforts, despicable actions……there is no shame in that maniacal, rabid pack of jackals of the left–no regret, no honor– makes you wonder how they sleep at night, how they look their children (and the rest of the country) in the face and keep doing all this – in the name of what?? greed for money, power/influence/recognition–what — what?
I hear Ivanka Trump was pretty mad at her husband Jared, when she found out that he, Don Jr., and Paul Manafort met with that stripper from Russia, Natalia Veselnitskaya to have a a orgy party at Trump Tower, back in 2016. Shame on them, I guess she wasn’t fooled by their story of trying to get dirt on her father’s opponent Hillary Clinton.
They are doing the very thing they tried to impeach Trump with. They plan to get Biden elected with Michele Obama as Vice President then have Biden step down saying that his health is the reason and Michele run Our country. That’s fixing the election too. Vote for Trump, at least His top priority is the American People. The Democrats are too busy trying to bring Trump down to do the jobs they are getting paid to do.
if the Republican GOP and our Pres does nothing to immediately indict and arrest all these individuals for treason or crimes against the Sedition act then I hate to say it but all our politicians are corrupt and do not want to see these individuals brought to justice like I and We the people do. This is a no-brainer that includes Obama, Hillary and all the rest Of the evil dems. If the Reublican party can not get this done then shame on them. If nothing done maybe someone can identify and hire the Clinton accompl ice who is very good at putting people to sleep eternally so they can meet their eternal Satan sooner than later. Jail time is not enough!!! All these people have committed treason against our President, our country and the American people and should be executed according to our laws. Seems like an opportunity for a televised public execution to ensure this never happens again in the United States of America
Liars one and all. And it goes all the way to the top!
I knew obama was a stink to the USA, Redsailboat posted a pic, Dam the people of this nation that don’t wake up. If you dont? Suffering is coming in a mighty way, this virus will seem like a cupcake!!!
He already ha made a public fool of himself. Just prosecute him and lock him away with Hilary for the rest of his miserable life.
Bring Clapper back under oath, question him on which is truth and which is lie, and make a public fool out of him. Of which he will deny the network news, then scold the news network for hiring a liar. Ruin his life like he helped ruin the lives of others!
There will be riots in the streets, if Barack Obama is imprisoned or executed. Instead, execute George Soros, and arrange for an “accident to happen to Barack Obama”.
He should be hung and left to rot from the tree as a warning to any democRats wanting to take his place.
Fake news
Dirty cops walk – ask any judge.
Nothing to see here.These crooks will go free no charges etc…Dumbocrats’ can do anything they want to with no back fire.
Time to charge Schiff, Clapper, Comey, Hillary and all other government employees including CIA, FBI, DOJ employees with crimes that they committed. Equal justice under our laws. Not special non-justice for government employees. This injustice has to STOP!
That is the actual transcript of former AG Lynch. What was asked and how she answered. It CLEARLY shows how this article took her answers out of context. If you are too stupid or ignorant or cowardly to see that, that’s on you.
You want us to believe you have evidence that there was enough to start the attempted coup? C’mon Schiff, give it up. You’ve been proven wrong.
Q Do you recall if you were briefed on — because as FISC — so the FISA authorities are either 90- or 180-day extensions depending on who the person is and the subject of the FISA. Do you recall being briefed over the course of those re-a pprova ls and reauthorizations?
A No. That would have only happened if I had been needed to actually sign the document. And in instances when either the head of the National Security Division or the deputyAG was not available, NSD would request time on my calendar. I would then be briefed on whatever those FISAs were. Sometimes they were original, sometimes they were renewals. But I don’t recall being briefed on FISAs involving this investigation that we are talking about today.
This article is purposely taking cherry picked quotes out of context to make it look like there was no evidence to start the investigation.
The only liars are those who wrote this article.
Q Okay. Fair enough. Let me clarify. And I appreciate your response. ls it your understanding that the investigation came in through the normal sort of stovepipes that DOJ has, for lack of a better word, was entered into the National Security Division, was raised through the Assistant Attorney General, then John Carlin, then up to the Deputy Aftomey General’s office, and then finally up to the Attorney General’s office? ls that what happened in this investigation?
A I don’t have a recollection of that being the process that would happen in any event, Again, you know, it wouldn’t be presented to me for intake is the point that I am trying to make. ‘ lt would be handled and worked on, and if something required my attention as Attomey General, it would be brought to my attention. But it is not the case with any investigation in the Department of Justice that every step of every investigation be vetted up the chain that you have described.
I rather see them do the Mussolini two step, upside down from a lamp post!
Jail them all. Obama Included
This is another site that piss..s me off. All the goods on the most corrupt president to ever hold the position. All the proof mentioned like in this article. Yet him and the elusive (big foot) hillary still on the dole. Tracks and sightings yet never caught. Hire 48 hrs or cold case files. Come on, there is something strange.
Ok , put shifty Schiff behind bars , and try him for treason !
Schiff needs to be prosecuted for treason as do all the rest
Exactly . You will never see a Democrat Prosecuted for any of the things they have done. Only innocent Republicans get Prosecuted in Washington.
SQUAT WILL HAPPEN, DO YOU KNOW WHAT SQUAT MEANS ??
LSD will cause one to see all sorts of things that aren’t there, kind of like the MSM reports.
I’m sure that schiff DID see what he WANTED to see – he’s that insane!
I’m sure that schiff DID see what he WANTED to see – he’s that insane!

Is anyone surprised that the attempted coup leads right to the top of the Obummer Administration?
