By Austin Wright and Martin Matishak 03/20/17 09:21 AM EDT FBI Director James Comey confirmed Monday the FBI is investigating Russia’s meddling in the presidential election, including possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow. He also shot down President Donald Trump's explosive claim that President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower in the run-up to the presidential election. Comey told the House Intelligence Committee at a hearing that the bureau normally does not comment on the existence of counterintelligence investigations, but that he was authorized by the Justice Department to do so in this case because of the extraordinary public interest. “This will also include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed,” Comey told the intelligence panel. He said he could not give a timeline or comment further on the matter, but pledged to "follow the facts wherever they lead." Comey also said he had "no information" to support Trump's claim, made on Twitter, about Trump Tower being wiretapped by his predecessor. “I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,” Comey said. He added that the Justice Department had also looked for evidence to support the president’s allegation and could not find any. Comey noted that "some folks may want to make comparison to past instances where the Department of Justice and the FBI have spoken about the details of some investigations,” an apparent reference to his decision to speak publicly before the election about the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. He said the difference was that “those involved the details of completed investigations.” Minutes before Comey's highly anticipated testimony , the House Intelligence Committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) scolded Donald Trump on the president's platform of choice: Twitter. “Mr. President, the Russians hacked our election and interfered. No one disputes this now, but you. This is what is called 'fact,'” Schiff wrote in a series of tweets denouncing Trump's claim that his predecessor wiretapped Trump Tower. “The intelligence community concluded the Russians will interfere again. This is why full investigation is important to country. Please stop.” Schiff followed with more tweets directed at the president, saying there’s no evidence former President Barack Obama or the British government surveilled him
We know there's an investigation and that there is no confirmation of collusion between Trump and Ruskies, yet the left will push the narrative that Trump is a Manchurian candidate. IOW, business as usual.

"You don't recall" --- ah, the most common political response to questioning. You may have a future in office.
