During a Capitol Hill hearing this week over his investigation into allegations President Trump worked with the Kremlin to steal the election, FBI Director James Comey showed his hand, and he's not holding any aces. In fact, he's got a whole lot of nothing.

In an exchange with Democratic Sen. Al Franken, Comey revealed the assumptions undergirding his investigation, which started in the heat of the 2016 presidential campaign, despite any specific evidence of a crime.

"What is your assessment of why the Russian government had a clear preference for President Trump?" Franken asked.

"One is he wasn't Hillary Clinton," Comey replied, "who [Russian President Vladimir] Putin hated and wanted to harm in any possible way; and so he was her opponent, so necessarily they supported him."

Also, "Putin believed he would be more able to make deals ... with someone with a business background," the FBI chief added. But, a disappointed Franken pressed, wasn't it also because Trump was "ensnared in their web of patronage?" No, said Comey.

So there you have it. The conclusion that Russia tried to steal the election for Trump is based on pure speculation about how Putin thinks. The notion Trump was in Putin's back pocket doesn't even factor into it. ...
