"We were never going to find a contract signed in blood saying, 'Hey Vlad, we're going to collude,'" one Democratic aide said.
WASHINGTON — After two years and 200 interviews, the Senate Intelligence Committee is approaching the end of its investigationinto the 2016 election, having uncovered no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, according toboth Democrats and Republicans on the committee.
But investigators disagree along party lines when it comes to the implications of a pattern of contacts they have documented betweenTrump associates and Russians — contacts that occurred before, during and after Russian intelligence operatives were seeking to help Donald Trump by leaking hacked Democratic emails and attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton, on social media.
"If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in an interview with CBS News last week.

Wow, it's almost like criminals cover their tracks! Whodathunk?!
ReplyDeleteOk I dont care which side of the aisle yoh prefer. Its clear these congressional investigations are almost useless and built more for political grandstanding. Let Mueller complete his work and open up the results to the American public.
ReplyDeleteMueller's work was done 20 months ago
DeleteOkay, leave that to the FBI. What we do have are key members of Trumps committee with extensive Russian contacts, of which many have lied about and as a result ended up in jail. If there's no collusion why are we constantly catching him in lies about development projects?
ReplyDelete11:55- which lies are you talking about? Please be specific for once! I'm tired of hearing broad Strokes about Trump being a liar and a racist without examples.
DeleteTrump wasn't developing anything, he was basically selling the 'Trump' brand/name to a building in Russia
DeleteJust what President Trump has been saying for 2 years, no collusion, so give the witch hunt up and do something like build a damn wall that would benefit all of us..
ReplyDeleteEvery congressperson whom pushed for this unilateral push to get an investigation should have to foot the bill...
