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.
