In the 40 years that I have spent in American Politics, I have never seen a more hysterical lynch mob than the one at MSNBC, and other "Trump Hating" fake news sites. If you read the Washington Post, Salon or Vice, they would have you believe that I am on the verge of being indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for obtaining copies of the allegedly hacked DNC emails acquired and published by Julian Assange, and passing them to Donald Trump and his campaign.

The drooling left-wing talking heads insist endlessly that Julian Assange, the publisher of WikiLeaks, is a Russian agent and WikiLeaks is a Russian front. Therefore, they reason that obtaining and passing such documents to Trump would be a treasonous crime.

There is only one little problem with this conspiracy theory. I never received anything from Wikileaks, or the Russians, or anyone else. I never sent Donald Trump anything. In fact, I never discussed the Wikileaks disclosures or allegedly hacked DNC emails with Donald Trump before during or after the election.

I testified for four hours before the House Intelligence Committee months ago, debunking this left-wing conspiracy theory. Unfortunately, although members of the Committee disparaged me in public session, I was only allowed to respond behind closed doors. Suggestions by the grumbling Democratic minority and amplified by Politico that my testimony was less than honest are completely and categorically false.

Last week someone on the staff of the House of Intelligence Committee leaked a carefully doctored and truncated screenshot of the direct message exchange I had with WikiLeaks. This material was long ago supplied to the House Intelligence Committee and even in its heavily edited form, proves yet again that I had no coordination or collaboration with WikiLeaks.

Unfortunately, virtually everything about this fake news fairy tale is wrong. There is no evidence whatsoever that I had advanced notice of the source, content, or exact timing of the WikiLeaks disclosures that would so thoroughly rock Hillary Clinton's campaign. There is no evidence whatsoever that I received any documents from WikiLeaks or Julian Assange, and quite obviously I could not pass on what I never had.

I never communicated with candidate or President Donald Trump regarding the WikiLeaks disclosures and the DNC emails, before, during, or after the election. The claim by the Democrats and some of their vicious handmaidens in the media does coincidentally jibe with the charges in a phony harassment lawsuit filed by an Obama approved front group, falsely accusing Donald Trump and me of receiving material hacked by the Russians and providing it to WikiLeaks (sound familiar?). The entire front line of Deep State criminals, including Ex-CIA head John Brennan and NSA perjurer James Clapper, filed an extraordinary 'friend of the court " brief harping on Russian interference in our election… but never proved I had anything to do with it. Silly Rabbits!
