17 times Dems, Repubs said no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion; 10 times people claimed there was

A year after questions were first raised, there’s no evidence that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia in order to get elected, according to prominent Democrats and Republicans who have reviewed information or received briefings.

It’s too early to call it a closed case, because various investigations into Russian influence in the 2016 campaign and links to Trump associates continue. That reportedly includes probes by the FBI, Republican-led congressional committees, and the military. The FBI has largely stayed mum on its work. But President Trump claimed James Comey, as FBI Director, personally told him he was not under investigation. Later, Comey confirmed that in Congressional testimony.

It’s significant that no evidence of wrongdoing by Trump has publicly surfaced long after multiple players in politics and media began insisting there was collusion. Among the allegations of treasonous behavior was a “dossier” peddled to the media and published in January. It made lurid claims about Trump ties to Russia, involving bribery and prostitution. But it turns out the dossier wasn’t an intelligence report; it was campaign opposition research compiled by Trump political opponents.

Several months ago, Former Defense Intelligence Agency chief James Clapper told Congress that the sourcing trail of the dossier was so poor, that the entire file was excluded from in an intelligence community assessment in January. This past week, Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr told reporters that they had been unsuccessful to date in finding out who paid for the dossier’s opposition research against Trump. “Unfortunately the committee has hit a wall,” said Burr. “We have on several occasions made attempts to contact Mr. Steele, to meet with Mr. Steele, to include personally the vice chairman and myself as two individuals making that connection. Those offers have gone unaccepted.” Christopher Steele is the operative who compiled the dossier.

She really does, true integrity and investigation in an industry that has been intellectually bankrupt since before any of us were born.

All this while little Bobby Mueller and James Comey ignore and ignored the REAL CRIMES of the Obama administration - not to mention Hillary and Bills phony “foundation”, pay-for-play, influence-peddling, exposing gov’t email to hacks, etc.

If Trump was really a Manchurian candidate, chances are most major cities in the United States would be gone too.

Maybe Steele does not want to reveal his 4chan "source"?

And it’s 17 trillion times more likely that VOTER FRAUD INFLATED HILLARY’S POPULAR VOTE than it is that anything the Russians did added even a single electoral vote to Trump’s win.

Now that people are asking who paid for that dossier,they are making statements that no collusion occurred.
Should be revealed that Hillary or Obama paid for the hit job on Trump which led to this fraudulent circus
