As I’m sure you know, this weekend when Trump accused former President Obama of “wiretapping” phones in Trump Tower.

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

The FBI pushed back against the allegations during an interview on Meet the Press this weekend.

However, Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper came out with a bombshell revelation about Trump and Russia – of course, the media has ignored it.

CHUCK TODD: Let me ask you this. Does intelligence exist that can definitively answer the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials?

JAMES CLAPPER: We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, “our,” that’s N.S.A., F.B.I. and C.I.A., with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report.

According to reports:

Clapper, along with several other intelligence officials, released a report in January confirming allegations that Russia was behind the 2016 election hacking – but as Clapper told Todd, that report did not conclude that Trump officials were involved, nor did it contain any evidence that would suggest so.

Todd then asked, that even if it wasn’t included in the report, if any such evidence existed at all. Clapper responded:

TODD: I understand that. But does it exist?

JAMES CLAPPER: Not to my knowledge.

CHUCK TODD: If it existed, it would have been in this report?

JAMES CLAPPER: This could have unfolded or become available in the time since I left the government. But at the time, we had no evidence of such collusion.

Clapper confirmed to Todd that, at the time the report was written, that there is absolutely no evidence that Trump or any of his associates had colluded with the Russians. 

Here it is:

Clapper saying there’s no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign & Russians seems rather important, no? https://t.co/Mn4d9Q0ke6 pic.twitter.com/7UaPzXg1Dd
