The House Intelligence Committee has shut down the Russia investigation after finding no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Reuters. The investigation also found no evidence that Russia favored Trump over Hillary Clinton and instead showed that Russia's goal was to undermine both candidates. A draft version of a report from the House committee has already been completed and will be released to the public soon. With the House investigation shut down, attention now turns to the Senate investigation as well as Robert Mueller's probe. 

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.

My Comment:
It's about time that this farce of an investigation was shut down. There has been no evidence whatsoever that Trump colluded with Russia in order to beat Hillary Clinton. Indeed, if there is evidence of collusion at all it is on the Democrats who colluded with Christopher Steele who used Russians to make his stupid dossier.

It is also major blow to the Democrats that the committee found that Russia didn't favor Trump over Clinton. Indeed, that should have been obvious once we found out that the Russians were used in the Steele Dossier. We also found out that the Russians were using facebook to organize both pro and anti Trump events. The Russians also did the same thing for Bernie Sanders but he was never accused of Russian collusion.

Unfortunately this isn't the well deserved end to the stupid Russian collusion investigation. The Senate, who have flown under the radar compared to the House, is still investigating. Unlike the House, there is less fairness towards the president in the Senate, so I doubt that they will do the right thing and shut down their investigation as well.

Unfortunately, the Mueller probe still continues and has gone far beyond it's mandate. Already the media is calling it an "obstruction of justice" probe when it was supposed to be about Russian interference with the election. Only a few Russians were charged in that case and the rest of the Mueller probe has focused on financial crimes of Trump advisers, which has nothing to do with election interference.

I think it is very important that the House Committee's report will be released to the public. I hope that there won't be that many redactions. The people deserve to see the evidence that there is no evidence of collusion. From what I understand we should get that report in a month or two, or at the very least before the November elections.

The Democrats are apoplectic about this. They understand that Trump's approval rating is improving and that Americans generally like the tax cuts. They also understand that their other efforts to hurt Trump, like the stupid Stormy Daniels story, haven't done a damn thing to undermine the President. All they have left is Russian collusion and now that story is dead, even if the Senate and Robert Mueller haven't caught on yet.

You can see this in the media. Already the media is desperate to call the House Intel Committee as the GOP committee, despite it being bipartisan. Indeed, even the Reuters article spent more time on what Adam Schiff had to say then the actual report from the Republicans. And Reuters is one of the more fair outlets...
