Full title: James Clapper: ‘I can’t believe’ Don Jr. emails are the only evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia

11 Jul 2017 at 21:10 ET

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Tuesday said it “certainly appears” that Donald Trump Jr.’s email seeking damaging information on Hillary Clinton from an emissary of the Russian government meets the threshold of collusion.

Trump Jr. released the emails on Twitter after learning the the New York Times was in possession of a copy of the exchange. In that communication—cc’d to former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner—Trump Jr. expresses a willingness to accept information from Russia that could damage Clinton’s campaign.

Clapper said the emails are “only one anecdote in a much larger story,” noting the exchange occurred “before the campaigns heated up, and the Russians became steadily more aggressive with their campaign to interfere in the election.”

“I can’t believe that this one exchange represents all there is, either involving the President’s son or others associated with the campaign,” Clapper told the Cipher Brief.

Jr. just decided to get off now, with life in prison, thank you very much."

prison for the traitorous Trump crime family would be the best remedy for the country's ills at the moment. Lock these treasonous bastards up, preferably in the same prison, so they could tear each other to bits while serving their sentences.

Put all of the ass kissing enablers and all of the megalomaniacs together, and let them have at each other. It would be like having a 5 gallon aquarium packed full of Siamese Fighting Fish. Now THERE'S some imagery we can all wrap our heads around!
