FBI Director James Comey is testifying today at a House Intelligence Committee hearing about allegations of Russian involvement in the U.S. election process as well as wiretapping claims. President Trump’s been tweeting about it this morning:
James Clapper and others stated that there is no evidence Potus colluded with Russia. This story is FAKE NEWS and everyone knows it!

The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!

The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!

Just heard Fake News CNN is doing polls again despite the fact that their election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. Much higher ratings at Fox

What about all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? Also, is it true that the DNC would not let the FBI in to look?

Ranking Intelligence Committee member, Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff of California, offered this rebuttal:
Mr. President, the Russians hacked our election and interfered. No one disputes this now, but you. This is what is called "fact". https://t.co/izJhR5xRrf

“Hacked our election”? The Obama White House said that, no, there was no malicious cyberactivity “that interfered with the casting and counting of ballots” on Election Day.
@RepAdamSchiff You are lying. #Fact

@RepAdamSchiff: Hey wise guy how did the Russians interfere with the elections? Where's your proof Democrat? You have zilch.

Wrong
If you had any facts
You would have leaked them already https://t.co/p6Rh6eaG8Z— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) March 20, 2017
Now alternative facts are GOOD. https://t.co/IkrsHzezye

Actually many people dispute this. There is no hard evidence of Russian interference. Ppl like you are lying trying to make this "true" https://t.co/oQXTp2m8q3
