House Intel finds 'no evidence of collusion' between Trump campaign and Russia!

/1
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence said Monday it found “no evidence of collusion, coordination or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians,” as its Russia investigation starts to come to a close.
/2
Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, who has led the committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election, announced Monday that the panel had completed a more than 150-page draft report
/3
with its initial findings & recommendations. “We have found no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians,” the committee said in a statement Monday.
/4
“We didn't find any evidence of collusion and I don't think [Mueller] will either,” Conaway said on “Special Report.”

The committee's investigation was based on four topics: Russian active measures against the 2016 U.S. election, the U.S. government's response
/5
to the attack, links between Russians and the Trump and Clinton campaigns, and purported leaks of classified information. “We believe we've got the information necessary to answer those for the American people,” Conaway said.
/6
The report also noted that based on its investigation which lasted more than a year, the committee disagreed with the intelligence community’s assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a “supposed preference” for then-candidate Donald Trump.
/7
“We disagree with the Intelligence Community’s position that Putin favored Trump,” Conaway told Fox News. He said he had “no contact” with the White House during the probe. The majority staff on the committee is expected to send the draft report to the minority staff,
/8
led by ranking member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Tuesday. Once the draft report is adopted by committee Democrats, the report will be submitted to the intelligence community for a declassification review, and following that process, it
/9
will be released to the public, officials said, though the timeline at this point is unknown. “The report’s completion will signify the closure of one chapter in the Committee’s robust oversight of the threat posed by Moscow—
/10
which began well before the investigation and will continue thereafter,” Conaway said. A source close to the committee leadership, though, told Fox News that the Democrats on the committee likely would disagree with the majority report.
/11
The draft report included 40 other findings, including how Russians used social media to “sow discord” in 2015 and 2016, a “lackluster” pre-election response to Russian measures, how “anti-Trump research” made its way from Russian sources to the Clinton campaign,
/12
and “problematic contacts between senior Intelligence Community officials and the media.”

The report also included more than 25 recommendations for Congress and the executive branch to improve election security, U.S. government response to cyberattacks, campaign
/13
finance transparency, and counterintelligence practices related to political campaigns and unauthorized disclosures.

“Campaign finance disclosures ought to be a little more wholesome,” Conaway said on “Special Report” referring to the Clinton campaign and the Democratic
/14
National Committee's filing of payments for “opposition research” leading to the anti-Trump dossier as legal matters. The report's recommendations on handling leaks are serious, according to Conaway.

“Leaks of classified information are criminal," he said.
/15
“Leaks can get people killed."

A committee source told Fox News that the “investigation” portion of the probe was complete, meaning the committee would not interview any additional witnesses as part of its effort.

“I’m sure [committee Democrats] will disagree with bringing
/16
the interview phase to a close,” Conaway told Fox News. “I’m sure they will have specific folks they wanted to interview.” Conaway said that the Republicans on the committee wanted to interview former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, but said Schiff
/17
“wanted to delay us.” Once Manafort was indicted in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, the committee decided not to call him for an interview.
Conaway also said that he did not “anticipate” pursuing contempt proceedings against former Trump
/18
campaign manager Steve Bannon or any other witnesses who did not respond favorably to the committee's questioning.

Conaway took over the probe when House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., stepped down in April 2017 after he was accused of making “unauthorized
/19
disclosures of classified information, in violation of House Rules, law regulations, or other standards of conduct,” according to the House Ethics Committee which investigated the allegations. Nunes supporters said that it was a “clever political trick” by the Democrats.
/20
“After more than a year, the Committee has finished its Russia investigation and will now work on completing our report,” Nunes said in a statement Monday. “I’d like to thank Congressmen Trey Gowdy, Tom Rooney, and especially Mike Conaway for the excellent job they’ve done
/21
leading this investigation. Once the Committee’s final report is issued, we hope our findings & recommendations will be useful for improving security & integrity for the 2018 midterm elections.” When we began our investigation into what occurred leading up to the 2016
/22
elections, our ultimate goal was to make timely recommendations for Congress, the executive branch & for states to improve election security in advance of the 2018 election.
Republicans on the committee, though, have expanded their investigation of the Trump dossier,
/23
seeking answers from Obama admin officials, including former staffer for VP Biden. Nunes sent a questionnaire to former Biden staffer, whose husband worked for Fusion GPS, the firm behind the dossier, seeking answers to when the administration was made aware of the dossier.
/24
Mueller has wasted millions of 💵 on the #RussiaInvestigation #WitchHunt and found #NoRussianCollusion

Time to investigate the #ClintonCrimeFamily & let’s not forget about the #FISAScandal

1/ The images were taken in 2014 at a holding center in Texas.

Caged: Congressman Henry Cuellar took these shocking images to highlight how overwhelmed the US authorities are with the recent tide of illegal immigrants.

#MaxineWaters

Maxine Waters
Elizabeth Warren
2/ Young faces: The pictures show just how many of the illegal immigrants are children - many of whom have no supervising adult. Up to 400 a day pouring over the border.
3/ Cheek-by-jowl: The immigrants are crammed in tiny rooms and forced to sleep on the floor with aluminium blankets as their only comfort
