NEWSWEEK: Trump tried to convince NSA chief to absolve him of Russian collision

[The_Doctor]

"Two current and two former officials told The Washington Post that in March Trump asked Rogers and Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia during the 2016 election."

Trump "asked"...he didn't "hope."

He was asking a question, not giving an order.

Please make sure your payments from Moscow are in dollars, not rubles. I hear their currency isn't very stable.

Guys, Trumpy was just asking for gosh's sake. Why do you mind that poor old guy just asking his subordinates to clear him? Just, for gosh's sake, like him asking Comey to drop the Flynn investigation. What obstruction of justice? HE WAS JUST ASKING, FOR GOSH'S SAKE!

Someone has to stand up for Trump.

And Vladimir? Poor unfortunate weak souls that they are, of course, without any power. As I said, I hope you are collecting in dollars.
