White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Sunday flatly denied any involvement between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian officials.

“No,” Priebus said when asked by host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" about potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia officials.

Priebus said he’s spoken with high-level intelligence officials in Washington who have told him that no such involvement occurred.

“When I say top-level people, I mean top-level people,” the chief of staff said, refusing to provide specific names when pressed by Wallace about the sources.

2. Well he would probably have to quit his job...

Or be fired if he didn't deny this. But, while it's not illegal to lie to the press, it's a different matter if the FBI comes calling. Does he then sing like a canary or continue to protect his boss?

4. That's funny since he was bitching how the NYT runs fake stories with "unnamed sources" yet here he

goes a moment later and does the same thing. The hypocrisy needs to be highlighted and dispatched immediately.

And one thing my mother always said was "one lies and the other one swears to it"....
