President Trump asked two of the nation’s top intelligence officials in March to help him push back against an FBI investigation into possible coordination between his campaign and the Russian government, according to current and former officials.You can bet heavily that Coates also made a record of his conversation with the Obstructer-in-Chief.
Trump made separate appeals to the director of national intelligence, Daniel Coats, and to Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, urging them to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.
Coats and Rogers refused to comply with the requests, which they both deemed to be inappropriate, according to two current and two former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private communications with the president. ... Trump’s conversation with Rogers was documented contemporaneously in an internal memo written by a senior NSA official, according to the officials.
But hey, asking people to lie for you and say that you didn't do what they are saying you did is just another of the innumerable things that are OK if you're a Republican.

I think he just believed all of the Fox news reporting about the nefarious things Obama did and kind of figured that's what presidents get to do. Put that "reporting" in the queue of lies lined up and ready to take a bite out of the presidential posterior.

Oh, is that a lie? That there is evidence of collusion?
Collude is so much more polite than conspire.
Brennan said "Witting or unwitting" but was silent on the issue of witless...
