According to Daniel Hoffman, former CIA Station Chief in Moscow from 2012-2017, there is no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin — as we have asserted repeatedly.

Hoffman told NPR, “Overall I haven’t seen any evidence of anyone actually colluding with the Russians — of Russian intelligence colluding with a campaign to cause harm to another.”

In his New York Times op-ed, “It Wasn’t About Collusion,” Hoffman says Putin deliberately left a trail of breadcrumbs from Trump Tower to the Kremlin.

On the meeting with Trump Jr., Hoffman says, “It pointed to a discoverable influence operation rather than some effort to establish a clandestine channel for collusion.”

Hoffman told CNN, “I think the evidence from that meeting points to an effort by the Kremlin to influence rather than some sort of a covert back channel for collusion. Vladimir Putin wants to soil our democratic institutions, and I think he found the best way to do that would be to tie us to the Kremlin.”

In other words, as we have also repeatedly argued, the whole “Trump/Putin collusion” charade has been propagated by the Demo/MSM propaganda machine to undermine the legitimacy of Trump’s election.
