NO COLLUSION: House Intel Committee Drops Russia Probe Due To Lack Of Evidence

March 13, 2018

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House Intelligence Committee has issued a report saying that it has found no evidence of collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia as it relates to the 2016 presidential campaign. Not that this conclusion is a surprise to anyone with even a semblance of sense regarding the massive stretch the Left was undertaking to try and delegitimize Trump.

Naturally, Trump tweeted out the news after months of insisting there was never any nefarious connections between his campaign and the Russians.

THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

““We didn’t find any evidence of collusion and I don’t think [special counsel Robert Mueller] will either,” Texas Republican Rep. Mike Conaway, who led the bipartisan investigation, said on “Special Report.”

The committee’s investigation was based on four topics: Russian active measures against the 2016 U.S. election, the U.S. government’s response to the attack, links between Russians and the Trump and Clinton campaigns, and purported leaks of classified information.

“We believe we’ve got the information necessary to answer those for the American people,” Conaway said.

The report also noted that based on its investigation which lasted more than a year, the committee disagreed with the intelligence community’s assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a “supposed preference” for then-candidate Donald Trump.”
