Congress ends investigation into Russia-Trump connection. Says there is no collusion.



There are three investigations into Russia's influence in the 2016 USA presidential election. The senate probe, the special prosecutor probe and the congressional probe. The congressional probe has ended with the collusion that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russians to get Trump elected president. Although they did find evidence of Trump campaign officials meeting with Russians, they characterized some of these as chance meetings and others as "inappropriate meetings".  They offered no definition of the term "inappropriate".  Not all members of the committee agree that the investigation should end.




1%: This confirms there was no collusion. All inquiries should be shut down.
99% The house intelligence committee lost all credibility when the leader of the committee, Devin Nunes, pulled that stunt at the White House last year.

You can read about what has been characterized as a stunt. This one involves Nunes (Inspector Clouseau) hopping in and out of cars in the middle of the night, a secret late night meeting at the White House, an unnamed source providing secret documents, and Nunes's subsequent investigation by the government ethics committee here:   https://www.wired.com/2017/04/devin-nunes-white-house-trump-surveillance/

Nunes later pulled a second stunt with involved a memo that he published. You can read about this memo and the rebuttal to this memo here: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/democratic-rebuttal-calls-nunes-memo-deliberately-misleading-n844426

All in all, neither Nunes's stunts, nor their rebuttals amounted to anything. They were both deemed "nothingburgers".

The other two Russian investigations continue.
