Russia probe pile-on: No fewer than 9 teams investigating collusion, meddling
Fox News. com ^ | June 29, 2017 | Cody Desperina

The expansive investigation into Russian meddling and possible collusion with Trump associates has grown so vast that no fewer than nine congressional committees and federal agencies are now examining some offshoot of the controversy.

And despite the inquiries to date having produced no indictments or hard evidence of collusion between the president's men and a foreign power, even more officials and entities are looking to bite off a piece of the probe.

“The main problem is that after months and months of multiple investigations, no one has found any evidence of collusion,” a congressional source told Fox News. “So the Democrats are trying to shift the focus from collusion to obstruction, and since it doesn’t look like that will pan out for them either, they surely have some new accusation ready to put out there. It’s in their political interest to drag out these investigations as long as possible.”

Proponents of the probes warn nothing less than democracy is at stake -- but the frustration in Trump World is palpable.

Anthony Scaramucci, the former Trump adviser who was the subject of a since-retracted CNN.com story on Russia, on Thursday called the narrative a "bunch of nonsense."

The investigation, though, shows no sign of abating, amid a steady drip-drip of news reports on questionable Russia contacts that only feed the curiosity in Washington.

The furthest-reaching of all the investigations would be the special counsel probe led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller, appointed in May to examine any connections between Trump associates and Russian officials in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. Mueller’s crew, which immediately absorbed several high-powered lawyers, joined eight other investigative bodies examining aspects of the Russia controversy.

Evidence is a straw man! irrelevant! it is the seriousness of the charge that should determine the penalty!

I have never heard anyone explain what this “collusion” supposedly consisted of. It’s like trying to nail jello to a wall. The only thing they all seem to agree about is none of these yahoos have found any evidence of it, whatever it is.

If there were ANY evidence, it would have leaked a long time ago.

A friend at work said something on this that seems to make sense. At first it was an attack on Trump. It has now turned into a massive effort to keep themselves out of jail.

This is all because the Hillary campaign made the allegation in order to explain their loss.

If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing, then both men in the controversy shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days. And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother, then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you. And those who remain shall hear and fear, and hereafter they shall not again commit such evil among you. Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. - (Deu 19:16-21)

This is all about deflection.

Focus on this,and not the crimes committed by the Clinton crime syndicate, and obama.

I wonder if all these different ‘investigative teams’ are colluding... if not, it could be interesting to see if 9 different sets of lies can by some coincidence match, or at least mesh seamlessly..

Want to know why Congress can never get any work done for the country and the American people?

Healthcare, taxes, build the wall are all issues the American people want to see fixed. Instead, all these people in the Congress do is investigate, investigate, investigate, investigate! But nothing ever gets done.

Until the worm turns into the face of the democRATS and starts exposing their collusion with the Russians, this will not stop.
