Trump started the morning on Twitter, and really the week, by quoting several different people who have said they’ve seen no evidence of Russian collusion and then suggested the investigation was a witch hunt:
“He’s got a very good point. Somebody in the Justice Department has a treasure trove of evidence of Mrs. Clinton’s criminality at her own hands, or through others, that ought to be investigated. I fully agree with the President on that.” @judgenapolitano on @marthamaccallum Show

“I’ve been skeptical about the collusion and obstruction claims for the last year. I just don’t see the evidence....in terms of the collusion, it’s all a bit implausible based on the evidence we have.” Jonathan Turley on @FoxNews

“We’ve seen NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION....I have seen nothing, the firing of James Comey and all of the aftermath, that suggests that the President has obstructed justice because he’s exercising his power as the President of the U.S. I just don’t see it.” Judge Ken Starr

WITCH HUNT!

So far there hasn’t been any evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and it’s been almost a year into the investigation. Nor has Congress found any evidence in their own separate investigations. Most of these charges leveled at people, aside from the actual Russians who tried to interfere in the election, seem to have nothing to do with Russian collusion at all.
Whether Trump likes it or not, however, the investigation has begun and it won’t end until it ends, unless Mueller is fired for some reason which doesn’t seem likely.
