Bob Woodward & Lisa Page: No Evidence of Trump-Russia Collusion


Will Libtards ever retract their conspiracy theory?

https://pjmedia.com/trending/woodward-no-evidence-of-trump-russia-collusion/

Bob Woodward, whose bestselling anti-Trump book Fear has got Washington tongues wagging, told talk show host Hugh Hewitt on Friday that despite looking "hard" for two years, he could find no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and the Russians in the 2016 presidential election.

HH: So let’s set aside the Comey firing, which as a Constitutional law professor, no one will ever persuade me can be obstruction. And Rod Rosenstein has laid out reasons why even if those weren’t the president’s reasons. Set aside the Comey firing. Did you, Bob Woodward, hear anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion?

BW: I did not, and of course, I looked for it, looked for it hard. And so you know, there we are. We’re going to see what Mueller has, and Dowd may be right. He has something that Dowd and the president don’t know about, a secret witness or somebody who has changed their testimony. As you know, that often happens, and that can break open or turn a case.

HH: But you’ve seen no collusion?

BW: I have not.

Lisa Page told a House committee that the FBI also tried their best to find enough evidence of collusion to bring a case against Trump and his campaign and failed.

The Hill reports:

Yet, when history judges the former FBI lawyer years from now, her most consequential pronouncement may not have been typed on her bureau-issued Samsung smartphone to her colleague and lover.

Rather, it might be eight simple words she uttered behind closed doors during a congressional interview a few weeks ago.

“It’s a reflection of us still not knowing,” Page told Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) when questioned about texts she and Strzok exchanged in May 2017 as Robert Mueller was being named a special prosecutor to take over the Russia investigation.

With that statement, Page acknowledged a momentous fact: After nine months of using some of the most awesome surveillance powers afforded to U.S. intelligence, the FBI still had not made a case connecting Trump or his campaign to Russia’s election meddling.

Page opined further, acknowledging “it still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing” to connect Trump and Russia, no matter what Mueller or the FBI did.

“As far as May of 2017, we still couldn’t answer the question,” she said at another point.

Page sounds a little disappointed that there may be "literally nothing" to the collusion narrative.

But with Woodward coming up empty and Page admitting the FBI can't make a case, why does the left get so excited whenever a Trump crony pleads guilty and makes an immunity deal with Mueller? Trump is "trapped." He's "worried." It's close to the end. He can't escape. He's losing it. There is gleeful anticipation that Mueller will show Trump won the election because Russia helped him and the president will be impeached because of it.

FYI, Woodward and Page are not a part of Mueller 's investigation team.

BTW, Clinton won the election with over 3 million more votes. The American voting system is stupid.

reply

Ah yes, bitching about the rules after you lost. Class act.

reply

Your posts get dumber and more aggressive as time goes on. Too bad this kind of crap is all I see from you anymore. Not to imply I care... I'm just sayin.

reply

Don't care but felt compelled to reply? Sure froggy, sounds believable.

"He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!"
- Donald Trump

"More votes equals a loss … revolution!"
- Donald Trump

"The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."
- Donald Trump

"This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!"
- Donald Trump

"The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!"
— Donald J. Trump

BTW, your president can't spell.

reply

What's hilarious is that the dotard jumped the gun and thought Romney had gotten more votes than Obama. Didn't even wait until the count was finalized.

reply

Oh....ummm...yeah y'all can just disregard my below post...my bad.

reply

Great, so you admit your just as stupid as the man you constantly bitch about? Glad you made that clear.

reply

"...your just as stupid..."

Learn to spell properly before calling anyone stupid.

reply

A yes, grammatical errors. The last dying grasp of a pathetic comeback when one is completely owned.

reply

"A yes..."

Once may be an error. Twice means you can't spell. The irony is that your lack of spelling ability actually demonstrates your stupidity.

reply

For the record, "your" isn't a misspelling, it was just used incorrectly, which I fully own up to. I'm surprised a clever person like yourself didn't know the difference. As for "A" instead of "Ah", that was just missed due to quick typing on a phone keyboard,which is perfectly acceptable in a casual forum like this. I'm sure there are a couple typos in your posting history. On another note, I gotta give you props for sticking with the Grammer Nazi bit and thus confirming you acknowledge that not only were you completely owned, you are also desperately pathetic with your comebacks.

reply

LOL!!!!

I agree it's pointless to complain about the electoral college as its known prior to the election what determines the winner, but what does it say about Trump himself when he had an election night meltdown on Twitter when he (wrongly) believed Romney had won the popular but lost the electoral vote back in 2012? The class act that currently occupies the White House wrote on November 7, 2012:

"He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!"

"The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!"

"We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!"

"Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us."

"More votes equals a loss...revolution!"

"This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!"

"Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before."

"The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."


reply

Clinton LOST. She played under the same rules as every presidential candidate in modern history but somehow it wasn't fair because SHE lost. Get the FFFF over it. HiLIEry will NEVER be president.

reply

Actually Clinton WON the popular vote by 3 million votes. Trump played by a new set of rules when he received help from a foreign enemy that spied on a citizen which is why there is an investigation.

reply

The accusation has always been that Russia may have colluded with Trump's campaign, not Trump himself.

Trump's campaign manager is currently pleading guilty for his connection with Russian oligarchs.

Why the hell would anyone retract it now?

The only "tards" are the people that pretend there's no connection.

reply

You agree with death threats against American courts, why should anyone care about the crap you spew on this board?

You literally agree with terrorism.
