Trump asked intelligence chiefs to push back against FBI collusion probe after Comey revealed its existence

[AUUSN 823]

President Trump asked two of the nation’s top intelligence officials in March to help him push back against an FBI investigation into possible coordination between his campaign and the Russian government, according to current and former officials.

Trump made separate appeals to the director of national intelligence, Daniel Coats, and to Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, urging them to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.

Coats and Rogers refused to comply with the requests, which they both deemed to be inappropriate, according to two current and two former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private communications with the president.

I'm told CEOs can direct their employees as they wish. Got a problem with that?

Trump knows that this whole "Russia collusion" narrative was engendered by the Hillary campaign after the defeat.  Hillary campaign operatives admit this.

The only collusion in the 2016 campaign was between Hillary and the MSM (CNN specifically).

So easy.  It doesn't even take effort to make radical leftists resort to ad hominems.

Certainly not for you.  Just be yourself.

And don't flatter yourself by trying to identify as a hominem.
