>Yes, that quote says that the Mueller investigation failed.

It says nothing of the sort, it actually agrees with the Mueller investigation, and only adds to its legitimacy.

Nothing that you quoted points towards collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. There were contacts with Russians from both the DNC and RNP, but once again:

> a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

Lack of evidence that Trump conspired. There is no collusion.

Thanks for proving my point with your source.

You keep quoting the bits that are talking about the Mueller investigation and not the Senate Committee.

This? This is about Mueller. Not the committee.

> lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

Wrong, I am quoting the bits that are taking about the US Senate Special Committee on Intelligence report.

>"the findings run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe"

"the findings [of the US Senate Special Committee on Intelligence] run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe"

It's reconfirming that the Senate committee findings run parallel, or in other words, come to the same conclusion, as the Mueller report.

Good lord that's a reach.

In stating they ran parallel they meant that they're investigating the same offences at the same time. It ran parallel, but did not collaborate with, the Mueller investigation. It found more evidence and drew stronger conclusions.

[throwaway56098]

It's not a reach, it's factually what happened. Here's the summary from the lead on the US Senate Special Committee on Intelligence:

https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases...

“We can say, without any hesitation, that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election."

Surely you can find the official report.

Rubio was the chair that headed the committee that drafted the report.

He's speaking directly about the report, and it was linked in the press release above, if you cared to click on it.
