Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI has rejected the president's depiction of a probe into alleged Russian meddling of the US election as a witch hunt.
"I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt," Christopher Wray said about the former FBI director who is leading the special investigation.
...
Mr Wray also faced questions about emails belonging to Donald Trump Jr - the president's eldest son - arranging a meeting with a Russian lawyer linked to the Kremlin.
The nominee told senators he was unfamiliar with the emails.
Senator Lindsey Graham read out the text of the emails to him and asked if Mr Trump Jr "should have taken that meeting".
"I would think you'd want to consult with some good legal advisers before you did that,"
said Mr Wray when pressed by the South Carolina Republican.
"Any threat or effort to interfere with our elections from any nation state or non-state actor is the kind of thing the FBI would want to know", he continued.
Mr Wray added that he has "no reason to doubt" the assessment by US intelligence agencies that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election in Mr Trump's favour.

The only thing Trump could have done wrong was to run with the information as if it was real long after they knew it was fake .. like the left is doing.
.. top level dirt on a Presidential candidate from a private citizen of another country who is NOT a government official in any way of that country.
FAKE NEWS! It's all a LIE by the MSM!!! CLINTON EMAILS!!!!

Well, if you follow along, he agreed to get top-level "dirt" on a former U.S. Secretary of State from an adversarial foreign power and he never contacted the FBI about it. Plus, you know, the Russians didn't actually have any, otherwise, they would have done a deal.
This chain is an admission of collusion, possibly even espionage, directly from the horses mouth.

So just to be straight. Its OK for Hillary and DNC/Never Trump'ers to go through a foreign national then to the Russians to get what they thought was a legit Dossier with dirt on Trump to tank his election. but its not ok for someone on Trump's team to try to get some info on possibly HIllary ???
You see no hypocrisy in this ? I'm betting you probably don't.
