"SNIP.....

National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien told CBS News he disputed reports of what was presented during a House Intelligence Committee that Russian are interfering to help President Trump in the presidential election.

Said O’Brien: “I haven’t seen any intelligence to support the reports that were leaked out of the House. But it’s just hard to comment on that because, again, I wasn’t there. And these are leaks that were coming from a House Intel Committee hearing. I haven’t seen any intelligence that would back up what I’m reading in the papers.” 

.......SNIP"

Interesting that Trump and republicans seem to be out of the loop. I mean Nunes had to tell Trump. Maybe he roars at anyone who gives him intel on russia interference that makes it hard to tell him things.

1. Cover up . . .

American know Russia did it and is still doing it.

Un-American asshole.

2. Well, he would dispute FBI findings. Trump doesn't like them. He got rid of top tier agents over

Russia and will do so again. We might find nothing more out.

3. CIA wil know, whether from their own intelligence or others.

We'll find out, the question is will anyone care?

7. Just read another OP "were you there" and here's "I wasn't there"

The other OP was asking when did "were you there" become an argument against facts.

This is interesting.

attack on Democracy in his own country when the information is ambiguous. I can see it now: Trump will say during the GE that Putin is helping democrats (Bernie) and that they never helped him. It is opposite world. Almost like Trump was enraged that his former Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire didn't stop it - the naming of the Trump campaign as a beneficiary of Putin actions during the election this year. Almost like he had assurances Trump would not be obviously targetted by Putin. And then it got back to him by Nunes that the House had been briefed to the contrary of their hoped narrative for the election.
