The House Intelligence Committee’s inquiry into Russian election collusion, led by Mike Conaway, said the House agreed with US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the U.S.’s 2016 presidential election. However, Conaway also stated that there’s no evidence that Donald Trump or anyone associated with the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the election.
Conaway, the Texas Republican who has led the yearlong probe, announced on Monday the House committee had finished interviewing witnesses and planned to share a draft report with Democratic colleagues on Tuesday. “The bottom line: The Russians did commit active measures against our election in ’16, and we think they will do that in the future,” he told reporters. However, he added, “We found no evidence that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it colluded with the Russians.”
According to The BBC, Conway said Republicans conducting the inquiry did not find proof that any of the “Russian meddling” done by the Kremlin was to sway the election in favor of President Donald Trump. The inquiry is just one of several probes looking into alleged Russian meddling.
Investigations by special counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee are ongoing. Mueller is leading a criminal investigation while the congressional inquiries serve to inform the public and make legislative recommendations.
Russian officials have repeatedly denied intervening in the 2016 election and the Democrats on the panel are expected to release their own report. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the committee, called the investigation “fundamentally incomplete,” mostly because it’s been a year and Schiff still hasn’t found evidence to back his allegations. “By ending its oversight role in the only authorized investigation in the House, the Majority has placed the interests of protecting the President over protecting the country, and history will judge its actions harshly,” Schiff said.
President Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing, also tweeted about the House Republicans’ conclusion on Monday night.

The responses to this tweet have shown that leftists in the United States are far from satisfied with ending an evidenceless 14-month-long investigation. But even though the inquiry may be drawing to a close, the political warfare is just getting started. Many on the left wonder if the committee did enough in their drawn-out investigation to find evidence of collusion.
That these are the key questions the left is pondering is good news for the Trump administration. The admission that no clear-cut evidence of “collusion” has been unearthed shows the weakness in the statement “We just didn’t look hard enough” and doesn’t carry that venomous of a political sting.
Conaway said the panel had done more than enough to find the evidence that just doesn’t exist. They have spoken to 73 witnesses and reviewed more than 300,000 pages of documents. He said the worst the panel found was “perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment at taking meetings,” which appeared to refer to a June 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer that has come under scrutiny but that was still not evidence of collusion, according to the House Intelligence Committee.
Less focus on the last Presidential election and more focus on what is wrong in the ongoing daily business of politics. By all means prevent foreign interference in our elections but also prevent foreign interference in the legislation passed into law. Also, prevent powerful individuals, organizations, and corporations from exercising too much influence on our political process. I sure don’t hear very much said about this except on websites like this one!

Blacks and Latinas are angry at whites for appropriating their cultures!!
Tell the blacks and Latinas to stop appropriating white culture.
Blacks and Latinas basically had nothing before the white man came and gave them everything.
Without a doubt, the Left has stirred the ethnic minorities up into a frenzy. They’re pushing for all out civil war garnished with racism and political polarization. They’re exploiting the poor class (after generations of coaxing them along with open borders and welfare) to despise the working class that produce. Once it hits a fever pitch, it’ll be mayhem.
Find a quite place, get friends you can trust, and finish off your preps. If you’re just starting now, good luck. You have a bunch of catching up to do.
Bert, there’s nothing in either of those cultures I would ever want. Blacks can’t preach to white people about anything. Blacks should stop appropriating anything white people have [AKA COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE].
Oh, God. Not yet another load of baloney. “House Inquiry: ‘We Found NO EVIDENCE Trump Campaign Colluded With Russia’” Oh, please.
According the house, the Russians are still guilty of interfering in our elections. Even after all the election engineering the U.S. Government as done in just about every other country? “Made In USA” drones are now patrolling the skies over the Ukraine, but the house wants us to know. That’s all they could find? The Russians are still guilty? [sarcasm]
And worse is the weak-kneed, limp-d*cked, house declaration of having not having found any evidence that the neither the Donald, nor the Trump campaign colluded with those guilty Russians. Read more closely. Trump? Well, the house still strongly believes that Trump is still guilty as h*ll, and is and will someday be shown as a card carrying member of the Nazi (oops) Communist Party. [heavy sarcasm]
House Inquiry: ‘We Found NO EVIDENCE Trump Campaign Colluded With Russia’
Duh … of course they didn’t – it’s been a witch hunt from day one against Russia. Even if it were true that there was some sort of collusion – why is it not ok for Russia, but colluding with Israel & other nations during election time is acceptable?
The hypocrisy is very much overwhelming!
FTW, agreed. All we’ve heard from the MSM since Election Day is RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. Now they ought to just STFU about it.
Wish the MSM networks would quit letting little stuff like this dominate their reporting for days at a time and stay with more important subjects people need to know more about.
So, they succeeded in wasting our money for over 14 months, pulling the attention away from real problems, using the media on a daily basis to insult, castigate and foment doubt of the reality of who our POTUS is…… And yet, not a word to-date on the real criminals – the previous administration, the former contender for the office and her party, the host of malfeasance perpetrated by so many agencies and legislators now and formerly in one political position or another. Bullsh*t folks. Total stinking b.s. My God, how we’ve been played as the saps we must be.
Why isn’t Hillary being investigated and charged with crimes, these may be some reasons: 1-she is an insider, 2-she knows too much about everyone else’s dirty secrets, 3-she has a goon squad to let everyone know don’t mess with her, 4-there are other wealthy and powerful people who share her goals, they help protect her, 5-she has people answerable only to her clique planted throughout gov’t, 6-gov’t is hopelessly corrupt, 7-she is wealthy, she can always throw a few bucks around if necessary, 8-the American people have been successfully dumbed down.
Most all of the problems listed sbove can be cured by “ The Rule of 3.08 “ Or in my preference the rule of 300 Win Mag. When it all comes down I expect that there will be many scores that are finally settled. Once the Hildabeast is gone just Imagine the line of people waiting for their turn to piss on her grave. They could probably charge admission …. LOL !
Messing with other nations elections. Paper ballots will go a long way to remedy those outcomes. They even took free elections out of the peoples hands. Those events are above leaving up to the whims of confused voters. Vote or no vote, no matter.
OF COURSE there is no evidence!
Allegations of such collusion were all lies designed to DISTRACT us from what the Russians found out about Hillary.
Why isn’t Mr. Mueller asking the Russians what they found OUT about her? Why did Russia want so badly for her to lose? What do THEY know that we do NOT?
Sweep your own doorstep first.
