So the guy who was supposed to be investigating Donald Trump for
colluding with Russia...

...has been sentenced for 4 years in prison...

...for colluding with Russia:

'Dec. 15 (UPI) -- A former high-ranking FBI agent was sentenced to more
than four years in prison Thursday for colluding with a Russian oligarch.

Charles McGonigal, who was a counterintelligence officer in the bureau's
New York field office, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in
September and his lawyers had petitioned the court for no prison time
because he worked with the Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, on
counterespionage operations on behalf of the U.S.'

'Which brings us back to McGonigal. After assuming his new job in
October 2016, just a month before the election, he would have been in a
position to undermine the bureau’s investigation into Deripaska and
Manafort and to sabotage those investigations with disinformation.
Similarly, he would have been in a position to leak the information
about Anthony Weiner’s laptop that led to the reopening of the FBI probe
into Hillary Clinton’s emails 11 days before the election. Finally, he
was in a position to have been a source behind the false exculpatory
news published by The New York Times on October 31, 2016, a week before
the election, with the headline that seemed give to Trump a clean bill
of health: “Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to
Russia.”'
