Congressional officials were told by FBI Director James Comey before he was fired that there are just a small number of Americans who are targets of the criminal or counterintelligence probes involving Russia and that none were President Trump or his top aides, Circa has confirmed.
Behind closed doors, Comey provided specific updates on about a half dozen or less targeted US citizens who were the focus of either counterintelligence probes or criminal investigations emanating from the Russia election scandal, sources familiar with the intelligence told Circa.
"President Trump is not a target, nor is any senior government official if Comey's account is correct."-Congressional Official
"President Trump is not a target nor is any senior government official if Comey's account is correct," one source said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because that person was not authorized to comment.

While the counterintelligence probe is focused is on whether any American was compromised by Russian spies, knowingly or unwittingly, the criminal issues are mostly focused on possible crimes not directly related to the core question of collusions with Russia, such as tax, lobbying or money laundering laws, the sources said.
"As had been stated publicly many times the FBI made clear it does not yet have proof of any criminal collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia or any proof voting ballots were changed. These probes can go on for a long time and things can change, but right now that is what is the state (of things)," said a source.
The sources spoke as Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) took the extraordinary step of going to the Senate Judiciary open hearing Thursday to say that he had been provided no evidence to date in classified briefings that Trump was a target.
"Shortly after Director Comey briefed us, I tweeted that he should be transparent. I said he should tell the public what he told Senator Feinstein and me about whether the FBI is or is not investigating the President," said Grassley.
"On Tuesday, the Presidents letter said that Director Comey told him he was not under investigation. Senator Feinstein and I heard nothing that contradicted the Presidents statement."
His statement was backed up by his Democratic counterpart on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein (D- CA).
why won't anyone speak on record?
But the Democrat Commie media will continue pushing this bogus Trump/Russia nonsense for his entire Presidency because they know if you repeat a lie long enough people will believe it. Everyone already knows who hacked the DNC emails and his initials are S.R(Seth Rich) and the Dems know it..and his murder is still unsolved
If CNN was worth anything then they would cover this.
Maxine Waters: "I read this report. If I remember correctly, the words 'Russian probe' and 'Donald Trump or his aides' were mentioned in the SAME PARAGRAPH!!!! This proves it. We must impeach Donald Trump!!!!!!!

If my mother had wings, she'd be a sparrow.
Honestly?
It’s the job of the White House to craft what they say through their spokes people, or in this case, a letter from the president.
I believe that was not done because the entire communications team was left out of the loop that this letter was even going out. They had no time to create a narrative to back up Trump’s remark in the letter, saying three times being told that he was not a target of an investigation.
Sarah is terrible. Spicer needs to rush back!
The 8 Ball-less wonders of Capitol Hill and DC who are briefed regularly on highly se4nsitive intelligence and oher matters serve no one well as the tidal basin leaks truths and breeds lies every quicker.
This madness must stop or the Republic is effectively toast. The Dem Controlled Media Party (DCMP) will be the final say on everything. Why do we want to go down a road of fantasies and shaved ice again, just when America is ready to get back to work ?
Is something a scandal even if it a complete lie made up by the media? Should it be termed an “alleged” scandal?
***the criminal issues are mostly focused on possible crimes not directly related to the core question of collusions with Russia, such as tax, lobbying or money laundering laws, the sources said.***
Tax, lobbying, or money laundering as “evidence” of collusion means it’s relatively simple to run an operation against someone.
Not according to the msm. Of course, they think they know more than Comey or rather they twist the story to their agenda.
Sarah Sanders has got to go. I thought she was pathetic yesterday, but today is nearly as bad.
Sarah has got to STOP with the “I’s” and the “I think..” and “I said..” GAWD awful at combat! All sound and no substance.
The Homeland Security spokesman (probably brought in to save her today) was MAGNIFICENT. Fire her. Hire him to the White House.
Sarah says “I don’t know..” more than anyone in history. The press is eating her alive, after yesterday. Look for her to go away.
It’s time for FBI Clinton files to be handed over to a Grand Jury. It’s obvious Comey was protecting Lynch - and Hillary...

Unfortunately, these news sites are not reaching the ignorant masses. Like Rush said today, full-blown effort by Pravda/Establishment to “1984 us”. Heck, right out of Animal Farm.
