pat buchanan just repeated this LIE on the smerconish show....(buchanan is now defending nixon and trump)
President Donald Trump claimed that former U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has definitively said the Trump campaign did not collude in Moscows interference with the 2016 election.
Trump used his take on Clappers remarks as proof positive the FBIs ongoing Russia probe is a witch hunt.
"When James Clapper himself, and virtually everyone else with knowledge of the witch hunt, says there is no collusion, when does it end?" Trump said in a May 12 tweet.
Clappers comments have not been as definitive as Trump said. Later that day, Clapper directly contradicted Trumps claim in a TV interview.
