Did clapper say no collusion between trump and russie during campaign?

[boston bean]

Poppy Harlow on CNN just said he did. She flat out said clapper said that.

Is that for real??

3. Not what I heard him say.

He said there was no FISA warrant on trump.

He has been known to lie before though.

4. But we should not confuse that...

....with no collusion between the Russians and the "Trump Organization".

5. This weekend he said there was no FISA warrant for Trump Tower and he was in a position to know

And now we have to perhaps parse words: there may have been a FISA warrant for individuals and not a piece of real estate/business called Trump Towers.

6. No. He said during the time he was in office he didn't see evidence

of collusion...and said that evidence could have been developed more recently and he wouldn't have known about it.

Also IMO...it could be that there's evidence of communication without yet having evidence of collusion.

7. Here are relevant parts of his statement to Chuck Todd:

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.

CHUCK 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 since the time since I left the government.

Whether there is more evidence that’s become available since then, whether ongoing investigations will be revelatory, I don’t know.

Clapper admitted that he believed the conclusion “that the Russians interfered and did so in an attempt to help Donald Trump"
