The White House on Monday asserted there is “no evidence” that President Trump’s associates colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election after FBI Director James Comey confirmed a bureau investigation.

“Nothing has changed,” a White House official wrote in an email. “Senior Obama intelligence officials have gone on record to confirm there is NO EVIDENCE of Trump-Russia collusion and there is NO EVIDENCE of a Trump-Russia scandal.”

If you actually read the article you linked you would see they are referring to Trumps comments during the campaign for russia to hack hillary.

also -

“Because of the existence of an active, ongoing investigation,” the court filing says, the agency has the right to “withhold all records responsive to the Russia Request, because releasing any responsive records (or portions thereof) ‘could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.'”

The court documents also state that “virtually all, if not all, of the documents responsive to the Russia Request will be exempt from disclosure in their entirety under Exemption 7(A), which applies to law-enforcement records the disclosure of which ‘could be reasonable expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.'”

So you are just filling in the blanks with your own information.. ooooooook

Back to my comment.. The DNI / FBI have stated there was no Trump-Russia collusion. Or did 2 Obama officials lie to Congress recently when they made that statement?

That's a max first term. The absolute max is eight. At least it used to be. Perhaps he's going to sign an executive order declaring that it's a permanent position. And then Vlad can move some stuff into the East Wing

Once again you come across as totally uninformed and lacking any kind of credibility.

Wrong as well its ten years total so the max isnt 8.

Not to mention, as I said, it is a counter-intelligence investigation. If there was even a shred of evidence of criminal wrongdoing, they would've had to begin a separate criminal investigation. That hasn't happened. If it had, they would've had to divulge that to Congress during questioning and/or it would've been leaked to the media like everything else.

They can't even get the basics right.

Uhm no.. They are talking about the President, who serves a max 4 year term with a total possible of 2 terms, 8 years max. They arent talking about the FBI director.

Democrat leaders are now hedging themselves, by saying that they have no indication of collusion, but will keep looking for it until 2020, or 2024 if they have to.

You can indeed serve 10 years as president. You can only be elected to 2 terms. However, if the VP has to take over because the President dies or resigns, if it is more than halfway through the term, he can seek election in the next 2 cycles, up to a total of 10 years.

Am I the only one who finds the timing of this cute little photo op of Trump palling around with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov too convenient?

Despite the poor relations we have with Russia right now, Trump seems happier to meet with Lavrov than he was to meet with our allies in Europe or Japan!

Funny sidenote on this Pic today...

It is from the Russian Foreign Ministry News Site...

AMERICAN reporters were not allowed to photograph the meeting...Only Russian journalists..

No the US President's terms are 4 years - max of 2 terms (8 years). The VP and term in office after assuming the Presidency is restricted based on when he came into that position.

Either way the term is 4 years, not 5 so im not sure where you are getting 10 years from.

I heard that on the radio. Does it mean the photo is FAKE?

I explained it. If the President dies or resigns, the VP serves out the rest of his term. If it was more than halfway through the term, he can then seek election in up to 2 elections, serving 4 years for each. If it was less than halfway through the original President's term, the VP can only seek election once after finishing out that initial term he took over from the President. Look it up. It's high school Civics.

No but Democrats are going after it as evidence of Trump - Russia collusion. Just like them invoking "Nixonian" only to have Kissinger at the White House as well.

It means that the Whitehouse barred American Journalist from attending or Photographing Trumps meeting with the Foreign Minister of Russia, but allowed Russian Journalists in to the WH.

Except for the fact the term is 4 years... Max of 8.

Trying to use semantics is not gonna fly on this one. FDR was the last President to serve 3 terms and to date no VP has done what you are suggesting. Its the exception rather than the rule and for good reason.

I don't think barring American reporters from the Oval Office while admitting Russian Reporters is proof of collusion?

I think it is proof that Trump is the most shockingly un-American man ever to sit behind that desk.

American journalist were in the White House just were not allowed into the oval office where the photos were taken.

That is your President too.

To correct you, he allowed journalists into the oval office and refused entry to partisan hacks disgracing the journalistic profession on a daily basis.
