'Clapper says there was no collusion' how many times are they going to repeat this lie

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 Moscow’s interference with the 2016 election.

Trump used his take on Clapper’s remarks as proof positive the FBI’s 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.

Clapper’s comments have not been as definitive as Trump said. Later that day, Clapper directly contradicted Trump’s claim in a TV interview.

He wasn't in a position to know for sure. He said he was never in a position to know for sure. And he hasn't been in any official position since January.
