Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia
WASHINGTON — For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign. Agents scrutinized advisers close to Donald J. Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead — which they ultimately came to doubt — about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.
Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.

Better investigators for one. People who can actually connect the dots and know the law.
Robert Mueller, for another, whose reputation is impeccable according to many, both on the left and right side of the political spectrum.
The FBI's reputation is not stellar and they lean right.
Wasn't it the FBI who received reports of people in air flight training school who didn't care to know how to land or take off, just steer? See where their investigative work got us?

Hmmm let's see what changed.
Hmmm let's see what changed. Maybe firing the head of the FBI who was investigating the allegations, then lying about why he was fired, and then inviting the Russian ambassador to the Oval Office and telling him he got rid of him for investigating Russia.
Or how about telling us repeatedly that there was not meetings between his campaign and the Russians to dig up dirt, and then we find out his son met with the Russians after they sent him an email saying they had dirt.
I can keep going

Robert Mueller has enough
Robert Mueller has enough evidence to bring charges in Michael Flynn probe: NBC News
Special Counsel Robert Mueller'sinvestigators have enough evidence now to bring criminal charges against President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Flynn's son, NBC News reported Sunday, citing sources.
The news comes less than a week after Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort was arrested on charges stemming from Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Flynn would be the first former or current member of Trump's administration to be charged in connection with the investigation. The elder Flynn was fired in February after a disclosure that he had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about Flynn's contacts with Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the U.S

At least nine people in Trump’s orbit had contact with Russians during campaign and transition
After questions emerged about whether campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page had ties to Russia, President Trump called him a "very low-level member" of a committee and said that "I don't think I've ever spoken to him."
When it was revealed that his son met with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower, the president told reporters that "zero happened from the meeting" and that "the press made a very big deal over something that really a lot of people would do."
And, last week, with the revelation that adviser George Papadopoulos had pleaded guilty to lying to federal agents about his efforts to arrange meetings between Moscow and the Trump campaign, the president derided him as a "low-level volunteer."
While Trump has sought to dismiss these Russia ties as insignificant, or characterized the people involved in them as peripheral figures, it has now become clear that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III views at least some of them as important pieces of his sprawling investigation of Russian meddling in last year's presidential campaign
