FBI chief James Comey confirms Trump campaign’s ties to Russia are under investigation

[brummelben]

On Monday, FBI director James Comey testified before the House Intelligence Committee. In the widely anticipated hearing, the head of the FBI confirmed the existence of an FBI investigation into Russia’s role in the US election.

“As you know it is our practice not to confirm the existence of ongoing investigations. In unusual circumstances, that might be appropriate,” Comey said. He then noted that these are unusual circumstances.

“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI as part of our counterintelligence mission is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election,” Comey said.

Actually he said nothing directly about Trump, but about Russian involvement in the election in general.

But of course you spin your title towards your own biases, because that's what you do.

More than that under investigation......plenty o ties to hilly and dems

Marty, actually, is trying to confuse matters. Nothing new.

The thread title has Trumps name in it but the statement by Comey did not just saying.

Yup. Comey wouldn't mention any names and he made that very clear.

Yet the hyper partisan wackos will now start assuming everything under the sun.

You're not listening, or you have your biased filters in place. A very strong link between those close to Trump and their relationship to foreign nations has been confirmed. Soon enough Deep Threat II will tell all, not to the press, but to those able to provide he or she with imunity. The Trump people need to be watched very closely, so the tail does not wag the dog, & Trump begins a shooting war.

How so? The Thread title is a bogus assumption, nothing more.

He also made it clear the Russians didn't hack the election, that WikiLeaks didn't get their info from the Russians, that this investigation was started during the obama administration, and that there is no evidence of collusion.

Pretty much destroys democrats on this issue

They are all hoping they can find a link, any link, that ties Trump to Russia.

Good luck with that. LOL

Save your breath. You and I know what you posted is correct but the looney left will never believe the truth.

The looney left will take any port in a storm. Any port they think will show Trump colluded with Russia.

The Russians who hacked Podestas computer and turned the info over to WikiLeaks.

Their port is full of rocks with lots of smoke and no fire. LOL
