NBC: Senate has uncovered no direct evidence of conspiracy between Trump campaign and Russia
"We were never going to find a contract signed in blood saying, 'Hey Vlad, we're going to collude,'" one Democratic aide said.
WASHINGTON — After two years and 200 interviews, the Senate Intelligence Committee is approaching the end of its investigation into the 2016 election, having uncovered no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to both Democrats and Republicans on the committee.
But investigators disagree along party lines when it comes to the implications of a pattern of contacts they have documented between Trump associates and Russians — contacts that occurred before, during and after Russian intelligence operatives were seeking to help Donald Trump by leaking hacked Democratic emails and attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton, on social media.
"If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in an interview with CBS News last week.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction .... President Trump's opponents are not going to accept this US Senate report. Here is another prediction, the Mueller Counsel will also come to the same conclusion when they release their final report, and President Trump's opponents will also not accept that report. On a side note. Knowing what we now know, President Trump's former lawyer is probably right .... Former Trump lawyer slams Mueller probe, maintains president will be cleared: 'Knock it off and get it done' (ABC News). As for what the Democrats will do, I expect many will continue to push for impeachment .... House Judiciary Committee hires lawyers who have written case for Trump impeachment (CNN).

All over the place. Its not anything sane people weren't already aware of and its definitely not something the Aut-Left will ever believe.

Where is HRC?
Wish we would have the evidence to lock hillary up. But... bleach bit and a hammer and a few hundred Democrats looking away and tadaaaa no crime or evidence either. Let's face it, Democrats are way better at cheating,lying and mob /intimidation tactics than republicans ever would be. I mean think of this: Most slave owners were Democrats. They then rebranded the parties and now republicans are labelled racists..it's just unbelievable what Democrats get away with .. that's why we think there's a two class system in the US. Commit some cold crimes and you're a Democrat and you'll be fine. As much as litter as a republican or dare to ask a policy question and you're a racist and the next Hitler and lucky if you get to keep your job and family. It's just unreal
