House Intelligence Committee to announce they are done with Russia probe interviews

[Lumpy 1]

Yup.. no collusion and the liberal Democrat (real collusion) parasite news along with their dedicated gullible Trump haters end up with 14 -18 months of crap in their mouths... Sweet...

Russia probe: House intel Republicans end investigation, find 'no evidence' of collusion

Beats the 2-3 decades you lot have done over Billary.

.. .. enjoy your meal.. you've earned it..

Did you enjoy yours? All the many many "Oh this time for SURE she's going to be charged!!!"

Never happened. I'm not having a meal. I'm just sitting here smirking.

Smirking in denial and trying to change the topic, rather predictable don't you Think..

No worries though, liberals aren't big on taking responsibility for failure, they always distract from it.

Projection is what cons do best.

Nope .. but you've lost enough integrity for one day and I pity you .. movin on..

And dat's dat. No surprise obviously, the witch hunt is one racket. Anyone who willingly misrepresented this on behalf of the global socialists are no friends of America.

Mueller needs to do what is right. He knows what's going on and he must accept that Trump was not in bed with Putin, it's clear that he was a businessman with a message and it resonated with so many unhappy with the status quo and Establishment candidates.

House Intelligence Committee to announce they are done with Russia probe interviews - CNNPolitics

(CNN)The House Intelligence Committee has concluded its interviews for the investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign operation and Russia, a move that signals the beginning of the end for the panel's Russia probe, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Rep. Mike Conaway, the Texas Republican leading the Russia investigation, is expected to announce Monday that the committee has concluded its interviews and will now be moving onto writing a final report summarizing its findings.

The chairman announced that there is no evidence of collusion by the Trump Campaign.

Defund Mueller immediately!

Whacko!!!

What are you afraid of with the Special Counsel investigation Longknife, that Trump has committed some crimes???

Not at all. He was given as assignment and, because he is unable to find something favorable to his political views, he and his cabal is going rogue. If he can't prove what he was assigned to do - prove collusion between Russia and the Trump Campaign - he should close up shop. And save us taxpayers a whole lot of $$$$$.

This was yesterday after the Nunes joke report came out
“The special counsel is not an unguided missile. I don’t believe there is any justification at this point for terminating the special counsel.”

parallel investigations in two Senate committees into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump camp continue apace, as does an inquiry led by the special counsel Robert Mueller. Two weeks ago Mueller secured a guilty plea from a third former Trump campaign aide on charges not directly related to collusion.

House committee led by Trump ally says campaign did not collude with Russia


Schiff sharply dissented with Trump’s characterization of his committee’s work as “in-depth”.

“The House majority was not willing to pursue the facts wherever they would lead, would prove afraid to compel witnesses like Steve Bannon, Hope Hicks, Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump Jr, Corey Lewandowski and so many others to answer questions relevant to our investigation,” Schiff’s statement said. “It proved unwilling to subpoena documents like phone records, text messages, bank records and other key records so that we might determine the truth about the most significant attack on our democratic institutions in history.”

 

[Valerie]

Representative Mike Conaway of Texas, a Republican member of the House intelligence committee, told reporters on Monday that the committee would not interview any more witnesses in its investigation of alleged collusion and that no collusion had happened.

“The bottom line: the Russians did commit active measures against our election in ’16, and we think they will do that in the future,” Conaway said. “We disagree with the narrative that they were trying to help Trump.”

Last month, in indictments handed down by a grand jury comprised of citizens who had reviewed the evidence, Mueller described how 13 Russian citizens and three Russian organizations had allegedly sought to disrupt the 2016 election.

“By early to mid-2016,” the indictment reads, “defendants’ operations included supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J Trump (‘Trump campaign’) and disparaging Hillary Clinton.”

Conaway did not indicate what evidence the committee had collected that led it to contradict the Mueller indictment, which was built on intercepted emails, witness interviews and other evidence pointing to Russia as a culprit .


On a day when the White House press secretary declined to support the British prime minister Theresa May’s conclusion that it is “highly likely” that Russia was responsible for the poisoning of the former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, Conaway argued vehemently against the notion that the Trump campaign had cooperated with Russia to disrupt the presidential election.

“We found no evidence of collusion,” Conaway said. “We found perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings. But only Tom Clancy or Vince Flynn or someone else like that could take these series of inadvertent contacts with each other, meetings, whatever, and weave that into some sort of a fiction and turn it into a page-turner, spy thriller.”

Schiff, the committee’s top Democrat, said on Sunday that the House committee, which is not widely regarded as being at the spearhead of the investigation into Russia and Trump, had uncovered “circumstantial evidence of collusion”.

Evan McMullin, the 2016 independent presidential candidate who some Republicans hoped would lead a backlash against Trump that never materialized, called the Republican conduct “a low point”.

“House Republicans failing to perform an honest investigation into Russia’s interference for President Trump marks a low point for Congress and political leadership in America,” McMullin wrote on Twitter.

“These congressmen are willing to protect their party and Trump at the expense of our sovereignty.”

I was furious with every single one of them on that committee last night, Republican and Democrat, for wasting the taxpayers' money for an entire year in order to come out with an entirely partisan finding. The Democrat on the committee who came out and spoke in opposition to ending the investigation recited the same reasons that the general public has for questioning Russian collusion--the Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr., even Trump joking about Russia please find Hillary's lost 30,000 emails. It was ridiculous on BOTH their parts and we should demand our money back.
At least these bozos can get back to their actual WORK, of creating legislation. Fat chance of that, either.
I'm thoroughly disgusted with the outcome of a committee that has to come up with two concluding reports. I didn't expect much after the "memo" business, but this is beyond ridiculous. They should all be humiliated and ashamed.

only the unintelligent Republican House committee could turn Team Trump's bad judgement, inappropriate meetings, a series of supposedly inadvertent contacts with each other, secret meetings, plus false statements to the FBI, plus uncooperative witnesses, plus grand jury indictments, plus money laundering indictments, plus ongoing senate investigations, plus federal intelligence consensus, and 'weave it' into a conclusion of "whatever" "fake news" "no collusion".

devin the dummy found nothing?

didn't see that coming....

Of course the repugs would find nothing. If Trump was a Dem, they'd leave no stone unturned at least a dozen times. Since Trump is a repug, they won't let the investigation go anywhere. Let the whitewashing begin.

The Republican coverup for Trump just got much worse
House Republicans may have the power to prevent important facts about President Trump and Russia from coming to public light. But here’s what they don’t have the power to do: prevent important facts about their own conduct on Trump’s behalf from coming to public light.

<snip>

In an interview with me this morning, Rep. Adam B. Schiff — the ranking Democrat on the Intel Committee — confirmed that Democrats will issue a minority report that will seek to rebut the GOP conclusions.

But here’s the real point to understand about this minority report: It will detail all the investigative avenues that House Republicans declined to take — the interviews that they didn’t conduct, and the leads that they didn’t try to chase down and verify. And Schiff confirmed that the report will include new facts — ones that have not been made public yet — that Republicans didn’t permit to influence their conclusions.

“There’s no way for them to reach the conclusions that they want to start with unless they ignore or mischaracterize what we’ve been able to learn,” Schiff said, adding that the minority report would also “set out the investigative steps that were never taken to answer further questions about the Russians and the Trump campaign’s conduct.”

at least trump is now recognizing russia as some sort of threat

their spin seems to be, russian did what they did to undermine the USA and teflon don was just some sort of unwitting useful idiot in the wrong place at the right time, or the right place at the wrong time (lol) ?

today we reiterate threats to bomb syria, appoint ex CIA chief as SoS, and show willingness to condemn russia.. so it's all good with team trump now (right? lol)



Donald Trump has said the US will condemn Russia if it is found to be behind the poisoning of Sergei Skripal. The US president, who said he would be talking to Theresa May today to discuss the case, said: “It sounds to me like it would be Russia based on all of the evidence they have.”
