During my tenure as DNI, it was my practice to defer to the FBI director, both Director Mueller and then subsequently Director Comey, on whether, when and to what extent they would inform me about such investigations. This stems from the unique position of the FBI, which straddles both intelligence and law enforcement.

As such anyone dismissing the possibility of collusion based on Clapper's affirmation that he is unaware of definitive evidence is displaying the same poor judgement as someone who believes the opposite based on the whinging of your local professional leftie protestor.

Here's the transcript of the testimony. Take note of Yates' answer to the same question.
