There is no evidence President Trump’s campaign colluded or conspired with the Russian government during the 2016 election, but both his team and the Clinton campaign had “poor judgment and ill-considered actions,” the House intelligence committee concluded in a report Friday.
The report dings Mr. Trump’s family for making an attempt during the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer to try to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton, but says that was ultimately unsuccessful.
And the report blames the anti-Trump attitude among the GOP establishment in 2015 and 2016 with forcing the campaign to turn to less accomplished and more questionable foreign policy advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page — both of whom became subjects of FBI investigations over their relationship with Russian entities.
But there is no evidence of successful conspiracy or collusion, the panel concludes.
“When asked directly, none of the interviewed witnesses provided evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government,” the report says.
Mr. Trump saw vindication.

In one striking part of the new report, the committee seems to tie former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to anti-Trump media leaks surrounding the Steele Dossier. The report says when first asked, Mr. Clapper denied leaking. But he later acknowledged talking with CNN journalist Jake Tapper in January 2017 about the Steele Dossier, and “admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic.”

The last gasp of the discredited Obamunist regime.
Well, between Russia and Trump but the RATS is another question.
Juliani affect?
Exactly, and it looks like 0bama and his flunky administration had a full court press on to keep President Trump from getting elected, no holds barred.
They forgot to say “GOP-Led” committee to make sure we know the fix was in for Trump, by those evil republicans
Gee, SOOPRISE SOOPRISE
We’ve known from the get-go this was nothing more than hate that Trump won and crybaby losers who are filled with lust for power, money and trouncing of the Constitution
Oh yeah, and lust for little children
U.S. security agencies meddled in the election.
No doubt about it and 0bama should be held accountable but it’ll never happen.
And I have no doubt that the Democrat response will say there was nothing but collusion between Trump and the Russians.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
You know the media would be asking this question if it was a Dem Prez being investigated...
Yep, they’ll fall back on their same old scripts, rinse and repeat.
This article is from the Washington TIMES, not the Washington POST.
I have a hunch Mueller is looking for excuses to wrap this fiasco up and try to limit the amount of egg on his face.
gotcha! thanks
Republicans should find out the whereabouts of govt-issue computers Obama illegally removed from the White House (US Government property) which probably have been relocated to Obama’s OFA operations center located in his DC residence.
<><>the govt computers would show what Obama knew, and when he knew it, as well as any email he had with the Clintons (and bombshells like Obama’s disloyalty to his own party).
<><> the missing computers are the only known electronic links to Obama’s clandestine operations and could be used as evidence.
