House Intel Committee: ‘No Evidence of Collusion’

The more I look at this the less I think it was even the Russian government trolling social media. I think it was just scammers in Russia trying to make a buck off of fake news. We don't blame the Nigerian government for all of the scams coming out of Nigeria, even the ones claiming to be from the "Prince"
I think Russia and Putin are convenient scapegoats.

Breitbart's concluding paragraph reads: "Shortly before the summary was released, investigative journalist Sara Carter reported that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly leaked to CNN early last year that President-Elect Donald Trump and President Obama received a classified briefing on the dossier."
More information about that:
No named sources, so it's wise to take these kinds of stories with a grain of salt.
But then there's the curious fact that Mr. Clapper apparently lied about the sequence of events in a recent CNN interview. Click the link for full details, but the short version is that Buzzfeed/CNN broke the dossier story on January 10, 2017, before then President-Elect Trump had been briefed on it (this was independently confirmed by several news organizations). Trump then blasted the media in general and Buzzfeed/CNN specifically in his fiery press conference on January 11.
This is where it gets interesting: In his recent CNN interview, James Clapper implies that the President-Elect was briefed about the dossier on January 6 (he wasn't) and that the President-Elect essentially broke the story himself when he held a press conference about it on January 10 (the press conference was really on January 11, after the story had been published by Buzzfeed/CNN).
So this begs the question: Is Clapper a doddering old fool who can't recall the correct sequence of events, or is he being intentionally misleading in order to shield himself from accusations of leaking?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

The Republicans ignored the CIA and FBI intelligence on the subject and did force those who refused to testify. Whether there are problems such as collusion has not been determined yet. It is hoped the other investigations do not get Trumped, before the work is completed.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

If there was evidence then somebody would have surely found something by now, given all the strongly motivated people who have been looking very, very hard for it, from the Obama administration, to the Democrat party, the liberal media, anti-Trump Republicans, and so on. Even Mueller has given up the pretense of investigating Russian collusion and has been going on fishing expeditions all over the map trying find something, anything that he can pin on Trump.

All that the Democrats have to do is produce some evidence of actual collusion. Interestingly Adam "Shifty" Schiff, the ranking Dem on the House Intelligence Committee, has admitted that after all this time they have failed to find any[1], but is now, according to the Associated Press, claiming there is "significant evidence" of collusion -- but can't figure out what it is.
1. And uses the fact that no evidence has ever been found as the reasoning why they need to keep looking
