It has been two full years since the FBI formally launched its investigation into the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016, but it has yet to find any evidence of collusion with Russia.
The collusion theory was first floated in the media by Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, on July 24, 2016, two days after hacked Democratic National Committee emails had been released on the eve of the DNC convention.
Mook told CNN’s Jake Tapper to look at the Republican National Committee’s platform on assisting Ukraine, Trump’s comments on NATO, and the hacking.
“I think when you put all this together, it’s a disturbing picture, and voters need to reflect on that,” he said. He repeated that suggestion to ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos.
Seven days later, the FBI’s No. 2 counterintelligence official Peter Strzok formally launched the Bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign, on July 31, 2016.
Two years and the launch of a special counsel later, there has been no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Collusion theorists often point to the number of indictments Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued so far – against former campaign aides Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and Russians who ran disinformation campaigns or hacking operations.

As nobody can provide a shred of evidence, shut it down! And then concentrate efforts on prosecuting the real criminals, Podesta, Wasserman-Schmutz, the Clintons, et al.
Sound like the two plus years of Republican Benghazi investigations that ultimately proved no wrong doing.
An insider just reported that Trump did, in fact, use Russian dressing on his salad.
The same source did say that he turned down the Stolichnaya vodka. After all, he doesn't drink, they said.
It's true- I saw it on MSNBC AND CNN.
Now, Mueller is investigating a Russian Miss Universe contestant. That part really is true. Saw it on Fox. Can't make this sh#t up.
