Clinton Officials Denounce Alleged Trump Campaign Officials Contacts With Russia
Source: NBC News
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign spokesman Tuesday night called the information in a New York Times report which said intercepted phone calls showed that officials of Donald Trump's campaign had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence officials a "colossal scandal."
Brian Fallon, the Clinton campaign's press secretary, said on Twitter of the report posted online Tuesday night by The New York Times: "Everything we suspected during the campaign is proving true. This is a colossal scandal."
Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, said on Twitter: "I'd like the FBI to explain why they sent a letter about Clinton but not this," apparently referring to FBI Director James Comey's letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee shortly before the election about emails discovered on a laptop used by former Rep.

(18,124 posts)no doubts as to intentions of Comey and HIS F.B.I. Can the election of the boy potus and presidents bannon and miller be overturned on this new knowledge of FBI and Flynn collusion with Putin?
