I always love it when you guys link WND "news" articles. The investigation is in process and it's classified. Maybe THAT'S why they're not telling you much??!!
Why don't you wait until a report is released like the rest of us?
Trump and his team were in contact with Russia for the last year - NYT

- Start date

Oh no whatever will the Dem's do? WND says nothing to see here. Hahahahahahhahahahhaha
Then why is the investigation ongoing? There are obviously reasons why they are still suspicious.
You fail.
For the simple reasons that such investigations run until they have looked at everything and decided whether or not charges should be preferred.
The fact that they are looking doesn't mean that there is anything to find, rather that they don't want to end the investigation prematurely and then later find out there in fact was plenty to have found.
You guys should stop thinking that Trump's tweets are either correct or accurate.
If there was nothing going on Comey would have said so, if the investigation was winding down and he found nothing he would have inferred that.
Instead he kept very tight lipped and stated that the Trump/Russia investigation is ongoing and still in the early stages.

First I pay no attention to the President's tweets so that has nothing to do with it.
As to any criminal charges being forthcoming I very much doubt it, and that rises to near certainty the closer you get to the President.
Clinton was kicked out for a blowjob and never faced trial for it.
Of course that was much more serious then colluding with Russians to hack your opponent and the election.
I'm not sure you could call me a "lefty". But then, most of you Trumpies are Far right. So I guess everything looks "left".Lefties are getting really desperate now. It's hilarious to watch
We'll see what we'll see. If there are no charges, then fine. And if there are, it would be appropriate that the apricot-toupeed supposed-president is impeached and brought to justice. But I'm not going to count the days.
He's fucked up in so many other ways that he's now the most unpopular president in recent history and I enjoy laughing at the other shit he does.
It took just over 2 weeks for them to positively conclude that there was no evidence that Obama wiretapped Trump and the investigation is over.
So why have they been investigating the Russian link since July, 8 months, and the investigation is still ongoing? Is there also zero evidence but the FBI continue investigating just for the fun of it? The obvious conclusion is that there must be some meat on that bone. It is the only logical conclusion that a rational person can arrive at.
KIEV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian lawmaker on Tuesday released new financial documents allegedly showing that a former campaign manager to President Trump laundered payments from the party of a disgraced ex-leader of Ukraine using offshore accounts in Belize and Kyrgyzstan.
The new documents may revive questions about the ties between the Trump aide, Paul Manafort, and the party of the former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who has been in hiding in Russia since being overthrown by pro-Western protestors in 2014. He is wanted in Ukraine on corruption charges.**
Manafort, who worked for Yanukovych’s Party of Regions for close to a decade, resigned as Trump’s campaign manager in August after his name surfaced next to payments totaling $12.7 million in a registry of secret payments from the Party of Regions called the “black ledger.” Manafort has denied receiving those payments.
The documents were released just hours after the House Intelligence Committee questioned FBI Director James Comey about possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow, which also touched on Manafort’s work for Yanukovych’s party in Ukraine.
Comey declined to say whether or not the FBI was coordinating with Ukraine on an investigation into the alleged payments to Manafort.
Serhiy Leshchenko, a lawmaker and journalist, released a copy of an invoice on letterhead from Manafort’s Alexandria, VA-based consulting company from Oct. 14, 2009 to a Belize-based company for $750,000 for the sale of 501 computers.**
On the same day, Manafort’s name is listed next to a $750,000 entry in the so-called “black ledger” of payments from Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. The ledger, viewed as a party slush fund, was found at the party headquarters in the turmoil after Ukraine’s 2014 revolution. The ledger entries about Manafort were released by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, a government law enforcement agency, last August.**
Leshchenko alleges that Manafort falsified an invoice to the Belize-based company in order to legitimize the $750,000 payment to himself.
“I have found during this investigation that [Manafort] used offshore jurisdictions and falsified invoices to get money from the corrupt Ukrainian leader,” Leshchenko said during a press-conference in downtown Kiev, where he provided a copy of the invoice to journalists.**
He said that he received the invoices and other documents in January from the new tenants of Manafort’s former offices in downtown Kiev. The documents were left behind in a safe, he said, adding that Manafort’s signature and his company seal were proof that the documents were real.
He was not aware of any formal Ukrainian investigation into the documents, he said. He declined to comment on whether he had discussed the documents with U.S. law enforcement agencies.**
Manafort has previously accused Leshchenko of blackmailing him by threatening to release harmful information about his financial relationship**with Yanukovych. That correspondence between Leshchenko and Manafort’s daughter was released in February as the result of a purported cyberhack. Leshchenko has called the exchange a forgery.
Manafort was involved in crafting the political strategy that brought Yanukovych to power after a crushing defeat in the 2004 elections. Yanukovych’s party has been accused of ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, particularly through wealthy oligarchs from the country’s east with interests in both Russia and Ukraine.

Another excellent rebuttal using all the information you have at your fingertips.
Bill Clinton served two terms and was not convicted by the Senate.
Hence "kicked out" is wildly inaccurate.
It was quite clearly an investigation as to did President Obama officially authorize wiretapping. In other words was there a paper trail. It was not an investigation into beyond the shadow of a doubt is there no evidence that anyone did any surveillance.
So in your opinion, "no evidence" = "I am still entitled to suspect someone I dislike"?
You're not a big fan of the presumption of innocence, huh?
Now there are even more questions about Comey, why he allowed the Clinton warrant to be public while keeping the Trump investigation private.
Maybe all will become clear when the investigation finishes, however long that takes...
