No Evidence of Collusion
After two years of leaving no stone (real or imaginary) unturned in its investigation, the Senate Intelligence Committee is in the final stages of its Trump/Russia collusion investigation and winding down to a conclusion. And similar to the House Intelligence Committee — which ended its investigation last year — the Senate Intelligence Committee did not find “anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia,” according to Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.), chairman of the committee.
Burr’s concise and articulate comment was made during an interview with CBS News for an article that was published online the first week of February. In that interview, Burr could not have been more clear or less ambiguous: “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.”
That statement — hinting that the committee may release its report in coming weeks or months — comes after two years during which the committee interviewed more than 200 witnesses and reviewed more than 300,000 pages of documents. Given the depth and breadth of the investigation and lengths to which investigators went, it seems clear that if there were evidence of collusion, it would have been uncovered. Instead, as Burr’s comment makes clear, no such evidence has come to light. The week after his interview with CBS News, Burr broke it down into even smaller pieces for people who may have mistaken his previous statement, telling NBC News for an online article, “There is no factual evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”
