Report: FBI Investigation Into Russian Election Interference Isn’t Going to Make Democrats Happy
The narrative that President Donald Trump may have colluded with the Russian government, which in term helped him win last year’s election, espoused by Democrats bent on stalling out, delegitimizing and otherwise distracting from the accomplishments of the Trump administration, took one final blow this week.
According to a report from Circa, which quotes anonymous intelligence sources, the FBI has already concluded its investigation into the alleged ties between the Russian government and the Trump administration. It didn’t find anything that will make those Democrats very funny.
Circa reports:
The months-long FBI counterintelligence investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential campaign briefly investigated a computer server tied to Donald Trump’s businesses near the end of the election but has not gathered evidence of election tampering to date that would warrant criminal charges against any of the president’s associates, Circa has learned.
U.S. officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information, said there is widespread frustration among intelligence professionals who have watched in horror as a normally secretive process has been distorted by media leaks and politicians uneducated about how counterintelligence operations actually work.
“We have people spouting off who don’t know the difference between FISA surveillance and a wiretap or a counterintelligence probe versus a special prosecutor, and it has hurt our ability to get to the truth and has wrongly created the impression that intelligence officials have a political agenda,” said one source directly familiar with the drama.
