Summary
This document, a page from a House Oversight report, argues that the 'Crossfire' investigation into Trump-Russia collusion was a politically motivated counterintelligence probe lacking discernible evidence at its launch. It contrasts this with actions by the Clinton campaign and associated groups, such as funding the Steele Dossier and lobbying for Kremlin-tied entities, suggesting a double standard in how Russian connections were treated. The author posits that the case against Trump campaign associate George Papadopoulos was a form of entrapment and that no real evidence of collusion has emerged.
