Quote:WOLF BLITZER, CNN: The last time we spoke, Senator, I asked you if you had actually seen evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, and you said to me -- and I am quoting you now -- you said, ‘not at this time.’ Has anything changed since we spoke last?
SEN. FEINSTEIN: Well, no -- no, it hasn't...
BLITZER: But, I just want to be precise, Senator. In all of the -- you have had access from the Intelligence Committee, from the Judiciary Committee, all of the access you have had to very sensitive information, so far you have not seen any evidence of collusion, is that right?
SEN. FEINSTEIN: Well, evidence that would establish that there's collusion. There are all kinds of rumors around, there are newspaper stories, but that's not necessarily evidence.
Feinstein
Quote:STEIN: -- but just to be clear, we haven't -- there have been no actual evidence yet.
WATERS: No, it has not been. No, it has not and I want you to know, every time I've talked about impeachment, I’ve said we've got to connect the dots, we’ve got to get the facts, we’ve got to do the investigation. That is what leads to impeachment and I also said that Trump will lead us right there.

[/quote]But Clapper then went on to say that to his knowledge there was “no evidence” of “collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians.”
“We did not include any evidence in our report – and I say ‘our,’ that’s NSA, FBI and CIA, with my office, the Director of National Intelligence – that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report.”
“I understand that,” said interviewer Chuck Todd. “But does it exist?”
“Not to my knowledge.”
“If it existed, it would have been in this report?”
“This could have unfolded or become available in the time since I left the government.,” Clapper replied, “but at the time I – we had no evidence of such collusion.”[/quote] Clapper
Quote:Matthews claimed that Trump committed “obstruction” of justice by firing Comey, who was in the midst of a nearly year-long investigation into the allegations. Buchanan, on the other hand, claimed that Comey has “something to answer for” because after such a long investigation “they haven’t got a single connection” between Trump and Russia.
“No collusion at all has been proven,” Buchanan said

Quote:“I just wonder what the Russians have politically, personally or financially on President Trump,” Pelosi said. “Because this is about a national security issue. Why would the president of the United States just come in and start to flirt with the idea of lifting sanctions on Russia in terms of their behavior in Eastern Europe? Why would the president of the United States question the START treaty? Why the question of the United States put Putin on a pedestal and diminish the greatness of America? There’s something wrong with this picture.”
Samantha Guthrie went on to ask if Pelosi had any proof to back up any of her claims.
“Nothing I would suggest here, but I would say this — let’s have the outside independent commission investigate all of this,” Pelosi added. “And I don’t know how many more days where new news connecting the Trump campaign to the Russians needs to come forward for the Republicans in Congress to say, ‘Let’s get to the truth.”
Pelosi
Quote:It may well be difficult to identify any criminal laws violated by the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia. It will be important for Mueller to investigate, for example, whether anyone associated with the Trump campaign aided and abetted the hacking of e-mail accounts connected to Hillary Clinton’s campaign; that would certainly be a federal crime.
