The U.S. House of Representatives’ intelligence committee found ‘no evidence’ of collusion between the Trump 2016 presidential campaign and Russia, according to the committee’s final report that was released earlier today.
The public can now read the full report here, including new details about how Obama’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, leaked information on the ‘Trump dossier’ to CNN’s Jake Tapper, lied about it to Congress, and then was hired by CNN just a few months later.
These revelations were documented in the committee’s findings on pages 107-108 of the report. Here’s an excerpt:
When initially asked about leaks related to the ICA in July 2017, former DNI Clapper flatly denied “discussing the dossier [compiled by Steele] or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists.” Clapper subsequently acknowledged discussing the “dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper,” and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic. Clapper’s discussion with Tapper took place in early January 2017, around the time IC leaders briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump, on “the Christopher Steele information,” a two-page summary of which was “enclosed in” the highly classified version of the ICA.
21WIRE has reported previously on the possibility that CNN is serving as a media adjunct to either the State Department, the Pentagon, NSA or the CIA (or a combination of the four).
Judging by Jake Tapper’s collusive behavior here, this only strengthens the case that CNN is peddling an agenda for those US departments and agencies.
Meanwhile, Democrat Congressman and rabid ‘Russiagater’ Adam Schiff not surprisingly took to Twitter – taking out his frustrations on President Trump and the House majority GOP:
Mr. President, to conclude there is “no evidence” of collusion, you must ignore Russia’s extensive efforts to help your campaign, the litany of communications between Russia & your campaign, & the massive effort to conceal these contacts. Here’s the truth: https://t.co/ufM7sszcxW https://t.co/k2TX7LYfU5

Expect more media meltdowns and grandstanding from Schiff in the coming weeks.
