James Clapper: Mueller Report ‘Doesn’t Surprise Me’

EXCERPT:

CLAPPER: “Actually not, John. And as Lisa can attest, all of us in the administration that were in a position to observe this were concerned about numerous meetings from — with members — between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. But I do want to point out that in our intelligence community assessment that we rendered on the 6th of January of 2017 and briefed then President-Elect Trump at Trump Tower, we did not address anything about collusion because we said we didn’t have any evidence of it at the time. So this is not terribly surprising. Again, you know, it’s kind of like Hanging Chad in Florida. It leaves you with some unanswered questions, though, about the rational for coming to that conclusion. But to answer your question, John, no, it doesn’t surprise me.”
