The Russian embassy in Washington mocked the idea of collusion between the Kremlin and President Trump during the 2016 campaign in a series of tweets Monday.
“All ‘Russia investigations’ (not only in the US) are destined to end as @ConawayTX11 brilliantly concluded: ‘only Tom Clancy could take this series of inadvertent contacts, meetings, whatever, and weave that into some sort of a spy thriller that could go out there,’” the embassy’s Twitter account posted Monday evening.

Later, the embassy mocked the U.S. government for a helicopter that was flying in the neighborhood of its Washington embassy Sunday night.
“What was American helicopter searching for at the Russian Embassy’s premises yesterday night? ‘Strange’ malfunction of navigation equipment in the center of the US capital? Or another desperate attempt to find traces of #RussianMeddling?” the embassy tweeted.

The tweets come hours after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released a preliminary report indicating they found no collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government.
The GOP lawmakers also disagreed with the intelligence community’s assertion that the Russian government developed a preference for Trump during their meddling in the 2016 election.
Special counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Community are also investigating the role the Kremlin played in the 2016 presidential election.
