FBI official won't declare that Trump is NOT a Russian agent.

:::quote:::

Donald Trump's unprecedented actions as president are stacking up daily, but this is a truly new one: A top FBI official will not say whether the president is an "unwitting agent" who aided Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI's counterintelligence division, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday. He said that Russia "employed a multifaceted approach intended to undermine confidence in our democratic process," including efforts to "discredit" Hillary Clinton and help elect Trump.

"Did Donald Trump become an unwitting agent of the Russians?" asked Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M.

After a long pause, Priestap said, "I can't really comment on that."

"I don't blame you for not answering that question," replied Heinrich, to laughter from the audience.

EasTexSteve So, the dems are in such dire straits that they want proof of a negative? LOLOL! How about the dems proving there was a crime committed. And, "collusion" is not a crime.

Now, what Comey, Obama, and the Clintons did were REAL documented crimes.

Chalky You do realize that the majority of folks spearheading the TrumpRussia investigation from within the intelligence community are conservative, don't you? They took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the United States. They owe no loyalty to POTUS.

EasTexSteve To Chalky: The "no-Trumpers" are conservative also. The only oath they seem to take is to their own special interests.

Tim Finnegan Interesting ... the official would also not say that Trump IS a Russian agent. Kamala would have a field day with this "official" who could not answer a simple yes or no question. Too bad he wasn't badgered into being shamed for not answering the question.
