A few hours before FBI Director James Comey was scheduled to appear before a House committee about probes into Russia, President Donald Trump slammed coverage of his campaign’s ties to Russian officials as “FAKE NEWS” in a series of tweets.
James Clapper and others stated that there is no evidence Potus colluded with Russia. This story is FAKE NEWS and everyone knows it!

The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!

The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!

House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) said on Sunday that he has not seen any evidence that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia. The ranking member of the committee, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), did not rule out the possibility of collusion.
“I would characterize it this way, at the outset of the investigation. There is circumstantial evidence of collusion. There is direct evidence, I think, of deception,” Schiff said on Sunday. “And that’s where we begin the investigation.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see the future: Orange man in orange jumpsuit.
Is it wrong that I’m imagining what Nixon would have done with Twitter?
Anyhow…
Yup, if he’s starting his smear campaign, it means he knows it’s not gonna be good.
Geez, is this jerk predictable.
And I hope it’s really, really, really bad. Feinstein’s words seem to indicate that it is.
What time does the hearing start?
10:00am (East Coast time)
