Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said on Monday that the committee has “reached no conclusion” about whether members of President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia during the election.
“We have, I think, reached no conclusion, nor could we, in terms of issues of collusion, because we haven’t called in a single witness or reviewed a single document on that issue as of yet,” Schiff told reporters during a press conference.
“It’s very important, I think, that we not prejudge either the conclusions of our investigation or any conclusion that our intelligence agencies may or may not reach without doing our own independent analysis,” he added.

Earlier on Monday, however, House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) insisted there was no evidence that members of Trump’s campaign were in contact with Russian officials before the election.
“The way it sounds like to me is, is it’s been looked into and there’s no evidence of anything there,” he said.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer cited Nunes’ comments during his daily briefing.
“I think that Russia’s involvement and activity has been investigated up and down,” he said. “Chairman Nunes spoke very clearly today when asked over and over and over again about all of this and said that he has seen nothing that leads him to believe that there’s [anything] there.”
Here comes the ‘separate and very unequal’ reports.
And none will be allowed to be made until well after Hair Furor has left office, since we all know the GOP are more interested in not pissing off Trump supporters than they are about the good of the country.
There will be virtually no investigation into this powder keg of criminality and impeachable offenses. The excuse will be that it’s better to “look ahead” rather than behind. Or, the disruption to our nation’s business would be too great. The same bullshit that always gives cover to spineless oversight committees and career politicians. And, as we all know, traitorous activities by a good ol’ boy Rethuglican are nowhere near as bad as Hillary’s private server and…BENGHAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Kindof a misleading headline to simply say they’ve “reached no conclusion” when the full quote is:
The actual headline is that they’ve done no investigation yet.
So the GOP has decided to go “all in” on PeePee. They’re going to deny any wrongdoing by doing no serious investigations, they’re going to sweep the mountains of evidence under the rug, they’re going to announce their conclusions before any inquiries are made and now McConnell is saying “the GOP is Trump and Trump is the GOP.”
Good. This will not end well for them.
BTW, the FoxNation Poll is still active on whether or not PeePee’s Russian ties should be investigated. Spoiler alert: Well, just go vote and see the results - they will surprise you!
