There is ample evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, with significant findings in the public domain. The president and his associates may be compromised by foreign powers, and there are persistent allegations of Russian money laundering through the Trump organization. While there is direct evidence of deception, it's important to note that there is no hard evidence of collusion at this moment. Circumstantial evidence exists, and it can be powerful. The Trump campaign welcomed Russian assistance, incorporated it into their strategy, and failed to report it, while also being deceptive about their actions. There is more than just circumstantial evidence, but specifics cannot be disclosed.

There is irrefutable evidence that detail how president Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the twenty sixteen election to help president Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't. The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people. In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November 2016.

Speaker 0: Did you see evidence of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between Donald Trump and Russian state actors? Speaker 1: I saw information intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau to determine whether or not such cooperation of conclusion was taking place. Speaker 0: That doesn't help us a lot. What was the nature of the information? Speaker 1: As I said, mister Gowdy, I think this committee now has access to the type of information that I'm alluding to here. It's classified and I'm happy to talk about it in classified session. Speaker 0: And that would have been directly between the candidate and Russian state actors? Speaker 1: That's not what I said. I'm not going to talk about any individual's But Speaker 0: that was my question.

There are too many connections between Trump and Russia to be coincidences, including financial entanglements and attempts to hide meetings. Regardless of the Trump investigation, Russia interfered in the election to help Trump, hurt the speaker, and destabilize democracy, and they haven't stopped. The Russians stole campaign manager John Podesta's emails, conveyed them to WikiLeaks, and released them the same day as the "Hollywood Access" tape. The emails were weaponized and targeted at specific voters. Investigators are looking into where the Russians got the targeting information. The Russian government, directed by Putin, engaged in espionage against Americans to influence the election, as confirmed by 17 intelligence agencies. The most important question is whether Trump will admit and condemn Russian interference and reject their espionage, which he has encouraged in the past. Trump's admiration for Putin, a "wannabe dictator," is exemplified by his suggestion to leave NATO, giving a green light to a "murderous, brutal dictator."

The Russia collusion hoax against president Trump remains the single greatest hoax and the greatest assault on our democracy in the history of this country. It was a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government, a coup carried out by the intelligence apparatus of this country, by the deep state, by Hillary Clinton, the Democrat party. The new information revealed eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning and orchestration of this conspiracy. It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against The United States, it meets the criminal elements of an insurrection, a conspiracy against the government and a conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under color of law. One egregious felony after another. Every single actor is now part of that conspiracy, including Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Hillary, Schiff, and others. There must be accountability to reclaim this democracy.

We have found the evidence that proves that this Obama led intelligence community assessment was a contrived document, that was knowingly made using a fake intelligence or substandard intelligence in order to drive this, conclusion that president Obama wanted to see, which was that Russia helped Donald Trump get elected in 2016 or at least aspire to. This directly contradicted every other intelligence community assessment, every other assessment that came from the intelligence community for the last several months prior, both before the twenty sixteen election as well as immediate, immediately after.

He laundered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign talking points through the American intelligence services. That's a violation of the people's trust. That's a violation of what our intelligence services should be doing, and I absolutely think they broke the law. You're gonna see a lot of people get indicted for that. Here's the thing that should really bother the American people. What do you want our intelligence community to be doing? I want them to be catching bad guys. I want them to be making sure that terrorists aren't gonna kill innocent American civilians. I don't want them laundering Hillary Clinton's campaign talking points into the American media and giving them this air of legitimacy. It is sick and it's disgusting. It hurt the intelligence community. It hurt the American people, and it hurt the first Trump administration. We've gotta have consequences for it.

This week, we saw cold hard evidence of the Trump campaign, indeed, the Trump family eagerly intending to collude possibly with Russia, a hostile foreign power to influence American elections. In the month, again, as we celebrate the courage of our founders, Republicans in congress have become enablers of the Trump Russia assault on our democracy. After these latest revelations, it's becoming clear we have suffered a desecration of our democracy not seen since Watergate. Speaker Ryan must allow a vote on an outside independent kit mission to get to the bottom of the Trump campaign's role in Russia's assault on our democracy and prevent Putin from ever doing it again immediately outside independent commission. It's not just about what happened in the past. It's to prevent it from happening again.

Russia hacked the election. President Trump still doesn't sound convinced. If he admits it, it casts a shadow on his victory over Hillary Clinton. Russia is doing it again now with election-related cyber hacking. The CIA, the FBI, the NSA, and 17 intelligence agencies all conclude that Russia hacked the election. If Donald Trump was colluding with Russia while they were hacking the election, that is completely impeachable. A dossier alleged a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian effort to hack the election. The director of national intelligence, the head of the National Security Agency, and the head of the FBI all say Russia hacked the election. To believe that's wrong, you have to believe they're all involved in an elaborate conspiracy to get Donald Trump.

People are trying to say that the FBI is corrupt and that the Steele dossier is discredited, and that the investigation into Russian interference is based on nonsense. However, the Steele dossier was taken seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp. There is a big move to undermine the Mueller investigation by calling it names. The American people were attacked, and that can't happen again. It is unpatriotic to try to stop an investigation from going forward so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.

There are more documents to be declassified that will show how sinister the FBI was in amplifying Hillary Clinton's steel dossier as real and credible, and how they buried the counterintelligence referral memo. According to Speaker 1, he and FBI director Patel will be declassifying these additional documents. Speaker 1 stated that there is no Russia collusion hoax file cabinet at the FBI or CIA, and that they have to look for well-hidden documents by tracing through emails and looking for signs and clues. The Trump administration will continue to shed transparency, light, and truth because this was the greatest political scandal of our lifetime. It derailed the country and President Trump's first four years in office, and Donald Trump is committed to making sure it doesn't happen again.

- Speaker 0 states they believe certain people are dishonest and crooked and that they may have to pay a price; they insist they are truly bad and dishonest people, and imply consequences may follow. - Speaker 1 discusses a criminal investigation into James Comey and John Brennan related to the so-called Russian collusion hoax, asserting they tried to ruin Trump’s life and that he prevailed. - Speaker 1 notes that for years, ranking members of Congress, the intelligence community, and the FBI claimed Donald Trump was colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, and that this was continued through his first presidency. - Speaker 2 references emails suggesting Donald Trump Jr. was willing to collude with Russia, questioning how to know what happens when Trump and Putin meet, and suggests Trump’s repeated denials of collusion may have been truthful. - Speaker 3 asks if there has been any evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, and Speaker 2 disagrees, saying there is plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. - Speaker 1 cites a recently declassified CIA “lessons learned” document from John Ratcliffe noting that the investigation was messed up, aimed at preventing Trump from winning and then hampering his agenda, and mentions multiple procedural anomalies in the preparation of the ICA (intelligence community assessment). - They walk through the timeline: Christopher Steele, a former MI-6 officer with Russian intel expertise, was hired by Fusion GPS, which was paid by Perkins Coie for Hillary Clinton’s campaign (notably Mark Elias) to produce opposition research on Trump; this unvetted dossier was used to bolster the case and was shopped to media to create a narrative of Trump-Russia ties, then used as a legal hook to push a narrative. - Speaker 1 argues Hillary Clinton leveraged influence to funnel the unverified dossier into the FBI and into a FISA warrant for Carter Page, noting it was not disclosed that the dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton, which they view as a major omission. - Ratcliffe’s document is cited as saying including the Steele dossier in the ICA undermined credibility and ran counter to tradecraft principles. - A second parallel element involved Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer paid by Fusion GPS and Clinton campaign, who met Don Jr. at Trump Tower; Don Jr. texted during the meeting that he was unsure what was happening, and the meeting was publicly used to support the Steele dossier claims about Trump’s ties to Russia. - The Speaker covers Hillary Clinton’s classified server issue, including the use of BleachBit and hammers, and notes DNC servers were hacked by Russia; they frame these events as being used to shift focus to Trump collusion. - They describe Crossfire Hurricane as the investigation into Trump, calling it an “insurance policy” to deflect attention from Clinton’s classified server issues and to portray Trump as guilty, describing the investigations into Trump associates (Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Manafort, Flynn) as efforts to keep the narrative alive even after Trump’s election victory. - Speaker 1 asserts Mueller’s appointment was scope-limited but later expanded, allowing broad access and substantial taxpayer cost; Brennan and Comey are accused of feeding initial information for a political purpose, with high-level agency involvement and misrepresentation in Congress. - They claim there was never any actual evidence of Russian collusion charged against the Trump campaign. - They mention Charles McGonigal, a former FBI counterintelligence official, as someone charged in connection with Russia, implying the broader narrative was invalid and asserting that those involved lied. - The speakers conclude that the entire setup was a scam and express a desire for accountability.

Speaker 0 claims that there is more than circumstantial evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but cannot provide specifics. Speaker 1 asks if there is evidence to support the FBI's investigation into collusion, to which Speaker 0 responds that there is a sufficient basis for the investigation to continue. Speaker 0 disagrees with members who claim there is no evidence of collusion, stating that real evidence is emerging. They mention Christopher Steele's findings and the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia aimed to help Trump. Speaker 0 asserts that there is overwhelming evidence of collusion and conspiracy. Speaker 3 questions if any evidence of collusion has been found, and Speaker 0 insists that there is plenty of evidence in plain sight.

We're still waiting for accountability on the whole Russia collusion made up story. Now that DNI, Kelsey Gabbard has released all of those classified documents, we're actually seeing who was behind all of this. Do you wanna see indictments? I absolutely wanna see indictments. Tulsi and Cash Patel reveal aggressive violations of the law: "What they basically did is they defrauded the American people in order to take Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign talking points and turn them into intelligence... by defrauding the American people, defrauding the intelligence agencies, lying about what the intel said, they would take something that supported a Hillary Clinton campaign talking point, and they would overemphasize it and exaggerate it." They "took anything that actually contradicted that narrative and they buried it deep" and "laundered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign talking points through the American intelligence services." That's "a violation of the people's trust" and "I absolutely think they broke the law." You'll see a lot of people get indicted. What do you want our intelligence community to be doing? Catching bad guys, not laundering Hillary Clinton's campaign talking points into the American media and giving them this air of legitimacy. It is sick and it's disgusting. It hurt the intelligence community. It hurt the American people, and it hurt the first Trump administration. We've gotta have consequences for it or we're just gonna see the same play repeated again and after again.

There is significant evidence, much of it in the public domain on the issue of collusion. There is evidence that is not circumstantial. There is circumstantial evidence certainly of collusion or coordination. We're also looking at persistent allegations that the Russians have been laundering money through the Trump organization. The president once said, "the Saudis are spending tens of millions of dollars on my Trump Towers and buying apartments from me." "Okay. So they murdered journalists, but please, they buy apartments from me." That could be part of a broad conspiracy. He is acting like a person who is compromised. Mueller: "the biggest news... there are no new indictments for that underlying any cooperation conspiracy with the Russians to interfere in our elections." On Ukraine: "The favor is to investigate his political rival, to investigate the Bidens." "Don't call me again. I'll call you when you've done what I've asked." This is how a mafia boss talks. Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election. "I've never met the whistleblower." "I should have been much more clear about that." We wanted to bring the whistleblower in at that time, but I should have been much more clear about that. Members of congress need to uphold the truth as well, and we need to attack the problem of dissemination of lies through social media.

We look at where we are now over the last several weeks. We've declassified and released documents that exposed how president Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the twenty sixteen election was done, after the American people said, no, we want Donald Trump to go and be our commander in chief, not Hillary Clinton. And this manufactured document alleged that Russia aspired to help president Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House.

There is ample, clear, significant, abundant, and direct evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. The president seems pathologically incapable of telling the truth and may be compromised by a foreign power. The Russians have been laundering money through the Trump organization, and Trump continues to believe Russian propaganda, making him dangerous. Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians. There is circumstantial evidence of collusion or coordination, and direct evidence of deception. The Trump campaign welcomed Russian help, built it into their campaign plan, never reported it, made full use of it, and then lied about it. There is evidence that is not circumstantial. The case is more than circumstantial.

The special counsel found no evidence that any US person or Trump campaign official conspired or knowingly coordinated with Russia's interference efforts. While criminal charges were brought against Russian nationals, the key point is that collusion was not found. This supports what the president has maintained. The White House, the president, and his attorneys should be pleased with this report. After two years of asserting there was no Russia collusion, the president is now backed up by Mueller. The evidence does not establish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference. This conclusion is supported by the special counsel's extensive investigation, which included over 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, and interviews with approximately 500 witnesses.

Discussion centers on a claim from a book that "the president is compromised by the Russians," citing "the way he talked to Lavrov and Kislyag in the Oval Office" and "the whole issue of Comey's firing, what he said to Lester Holt," with the assertion that "there was no proof established by the Mueller investigation." Speaker 1 counters: "that's not quite true, Andrea. I think the Mueller investigation said that they were unable to prove to a legal standard or bring criminal charges that something had occurred. But they point throughout the report to a variety of deep counterintelligence concerns." He cites "the recent bipartisan senate intelligence committee report, almost a thousand pages from a Republican led senate committee laying out all these counterintelligence concerns," and says "the data is too great to ignore." He concludes: "So, yes, I believe that the president is compromised by the Russians," asserting it "comes from financial entanglements that he is fighting to become known, that the Russians know about and can hold over him," and "from the way they're able to play into his ego and his strange fascination and coziness with dictators and authoritarians around the world." Speaker 0 adds: "Now I remember talking in 2017, the 2017, to a form"

Speaker 0 argues the case is more than circumstantial: 'there is more than circumstantial evidence now' and 'there is evidence not only to have been initiated but for it to continue'. He rejects the view there is no evidence of collusion, saying 'They can call it a fishing expedition. They can call it a witch hunt. It's all in a line message with the White House.' He states 'Christopher Steele may have found out even before our own intelligence agencies that the Russians were in fact aiming to help Donald Trump in the election' and that this 'has now been borne out by ample evidence.' He cites 'the Logan Act' as evidence and says 'the evidence is in plain sight.' The Senate intel chairman also said, at this point, no evidence of collusion, but he counters: 'I think there is direct evidence.'

"We look at where we are now over the last several weeks. We've declassified and released documents that exposed how president Obama and leaders in the intelligence community knowingly manufactured a false intelligence document after the twenty sixteen election was done, after the American people said, no, we want Donald Trump to go and be our commander in chief, not Hillary Clinton." "And this manufactured document alleged that Russia aspired to help president Trump win the election with the aim of undermining his presidency and usurping the will and the voices of the American people who sent Trump to the White House."

It is important to put the investigation into Trump and his associates aside. There is no denying that the Russians interfered in the election to help Trump, hurt Hillary Clinton, and destabilize democracy. According to public testimony before Congress by intelligence professionals, this interference is a clear and present danger to the country. If the roles were reversed and Hillary Clinton had won, she would have stopped at nothing to find out what happened and ensure it never happens again. She would have stood up in front of the country and said that even if it advantaged her, she would not rest until the truth was uncovered.

There is no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to Mister Durham. The FBI's investigation had failures and did not reveal any conspiracy or collusion between Trump and Russian authorities. Vice President Biden and President Obama were aware of this, while Hillary Clinton fabricated it. The FBI orchestrated the investigation, and the media sold it to the public. The question remains: who watches the watchmen? The FBI is seen as protecting the nation's capital but not the American people. Republicans on the judiciary committee must hold the FBI accountable.

Some say this is a witch hunt, but they've caught a few witches. There have been a few indictments. One lawyer called the investigation absurd. But is it? We broke the story about the existence of the dossier and that President Trump had been briefed, but we didn't mention its contents. The FBI director was talking about prostitutes. Almost exactly two years ago, we reported that President Trump had been briefed on the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election, including the existence of the dossier. Despite the president's denial, the special counsel's team has already proven some of the claims in that dossier are true. Have Democrats found any evidence of collusion? Yes, we have. I just want the truth and facts to be respected again in this country.

Speaker 0: By a member of the Ukrainian parliament. Let's talk about the tape recording evidence. Speaker 1: We don't know. Yeah. We don't know much about it because it's floating around Ukraine, but we do know the general prosecutor of Ukraine, our equivalent of the attorney general, came on our show this morning and said the following. There's enough evidence for me to open up a criminal investigation into the illicit effort by a Ukrainian to try to influence the United States election in favor of Hillary Clinton. That's a profound statement coming from the top law enforcement official of Ukraine. Why is it important? There's a court in Ukraine that's already concluded that, Ukrainian officials leaked Paul Manafort's financial records to try to sway the US election. You haven't heard anything about that in the American press, but that ruling occurred recently. Then a parliamentary member comes out and says, I have a tape of these law enforcement officials saying they did it specifically to help Hillary Clinton. That becomes the foundation of the Ukrainian investigation. Speaker 0: You have talked to people that have heard this tape. Correct? Speaker 1: Well, the, the prosecutor himself has heard the tape and said it was important enough, good enough evidence to warrant opening the investigation. So the tape, the court ruling, the top prosecutor in Ukraine says there was a foreign power Speaker 0: Two separate issues here. Number one Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 0: Did Ukrainian officials offered us evidence that, in fact, they were involved in election interference in 2016 to help Hillary Clinton's campaign? But why didn't anybody in in the media pursue the interference story? And I thought they cared about interference, but, obviously, only if it's Russian interference and Trump because we know they don't care about the dirty Russian dossier. Speaker 1: That's right. Keep in mind that just a few months ago, Sean, we reported on your on your show and inside the hill that Ukraine's embassy in Washington confirmed on the record that back in 2016, the Democratic National Committee trying to help Hillary Clinton get elected asked the Ukraine Embassy to help interfere in the election by doing two things, dig up dirt on Paul Manafort and have Ukraine's president make a kerfuffle here in Washington about Manafort and Trump when he came to visit. Now the Ukrainians say they they rebuffed that attempt, but Hillary Clinton's campaign, the DNC, made that request according to the, Ukraine embassy in
