Well well well. The House Intelligence Committee is finally wrapping up its Russia probe, and whaddya know. NO COLLUSION.
The committee will interview no more witnesses and Republicans are in the process of preparing their final report, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) told reporters. A draft of that roughly 150-page report will be delivered to committee Democrats for review on Tuesday.
The draft document asserts that there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, the most politically charged question examined by the committee.
I repeat, NO COLLUSION.
“We found no evidence of collusion,” Conaway said Monday. “We found perhaps some bad judgment, inappropriate meetings, inappropriate judgment in taking meetings — but only Tom Clancy could take this series of inadvertent contacts, meetings, whatever, and weave that into some sort of a spy thriller that could go out there.”
Further, he said, “we couldn’t establish the same conclusion that the CIA did that [the Russians] specifically wanted to help Trump.”
Truthfully, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. There hasn’t been a shred of evidence of collusion. Sorry Maxine. (JK. I’m not sorry. Like at all.)
President Trump is stoked, as he should be. This endless witch hunt is a total bore and mega waste of time.
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

I also love what Rep. DeSantis had to say about it.
House Intel Committee verdict: no collusion. The goose chase for Trump-Russia collusion took up valuable time and has unnecessarily politicized policy towards Russia. The net result is the undermining of our ability to confront Russia malevolence in a unified fashion.

Focus on Russian misbehavior, not on fake narratives paid for by Hillary and cooked up by Christopher Steele.

Rep. Adam Schiff is legitimately traumatized, because all his marbles were in this basket. He’s super pathetic like that.
BREAKING: GOP just shut down House Intel investigation, leaving questions unanswered, leads unexplored, countless witnesses uncalled, subpoenas unissued.
If Russians have leverage over the President, GOP has decided that it would rather not know. The minority's work continues: pic.twitter.com/oOf13n75Vo

This was not the finding of the House Intelligence Committee, Mr. President, but only a statement by its GOP members, who lack the courage to stand up to a President of their own party when the national interest necessitates it. https://t.co/ZC1T5BUKS1

Excuse me, 14 MONTHS DUDE. 14 MONTHS AND NOTHING.
