The FBI is conducting a counter intelligence investigation, which is not considered criminal in nature.  But, rather to determine if the Russians were involved in an effort to disrupt the election. 
 

Only the Democrats are claiming that Trump colluded with the Russians. I remember the John Birchers attempting to prove Eisenhower assisted the Soviets.  The Dems are now in the same arena of stupid.

   once again. the republicans hear what they want to hear and it has little to do with facts... but now, alternative facts.. they got those covered. FBI director comey said flat out they were investigating collusion between trump's campaign and russia.. 

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, took the extraordinary step on Monday of announcing that the agency is investigating whether members of President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Mr. Comey’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee created a treacherous political moment for Mr. Trump, who has insisted that “Russia is fake news” that was cooked up by his political opponents to undermine his presidency. Mr. Comey placed a criminal investigation at the doorstep of the White House and said officers would pursue it “no matter how long that takes.”

You should have gone to the linked site with Comey's actual statement, rather than the NY Times take on it.

"The hearing’s featured witnesses: Mr. Comey and Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency.

Comey confirms the F.B.I. is investigating Russian election interference.

The F.B.I. is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government — and whether there was any coordination, Mr. Comey said.

Mr. Comey said that it was unusual for the F.B.I. to confirm or deny the existence of any investigations, but that in unusual circumstances when it is in the public interest, the bureau will sometimes discuss such matters.

The F.B.I., as part of our counterintelligence effort, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 president election,” he continued, adding that the investigation included looking at whether associates of Mr. Trump were in contact with Russian officials, and whether they colluded with them."

Not a criminal investigation, like I stated.
