No collusion!
That was the verdict rendered in a report released by the House Intelligence Committee. The Committee found that Trump, as a presidential candidate, did not collude with the Russian government to beat Hillary Clinton. It was announced previously by the Committee that Trump was free of the charges, but now the official report is out.
Politico reports:
The House Intelligence Committee has released a 253-page report on its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The GOP report signals the committee found no evidence of collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia but affirms evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Though its findings were previewed in a summary a month earlier, President Donald Trump hailed the Republican report as vindication of his claim that there was “no collusion” between him or his team and the Russian government.

President Trump immediately hailed this news as vindication of his long-standing claim that he never colluded with the Russian government to beat Hillary Clinton.
Just Out: House Intelligence Committee Report released. “No evidence” that the Trump Campaign “colluded, coordinated or conspired with Russia.” Clinton Campaign paid for Opposition Research obtained from Russia- Wow! A total Witch Hunt! MUST END NOW!

It’s about damn time!
Nobody who seriously observes politics thinks Trump colluded with Russia at this point. The Department of Justice has been investigating possible collusion for nearly two years. They’ve so far turned up nothing, and the only illegality Robert Mueller has uncovered has been financial crimes.
There was no collusion. Democrats need to accept that fact and the fact that Trump is president. No amount of whining will change that.
Share this story if you think Mueller’s witchhunt should be ended!
