    CNN) - The House Intelligence Committee has concluded its interviews for the investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign operation and Russia, a move that signals the beginning of the end for the panel's Russia probe, according to a source familiar with the matter.

    Rep. Mike Conaway, the Texas Republican leading the Russia investigation, is expected to announce Monday that the committee has concluded its interviews and will now be moving onto writing a final report summarizing its findings.

    The decision is expected to be met with sharp criticism from Democrats, who have said there are still scores of witnesses the committee should call, and argue that Republicans have failed to use subpoenas to obtain documents and require witnesses to answer questions that are central to the investigation.

    The committee is widely expected to issue two competing reports: one from Republicans that concludes no evidence of collusion was found, and another from Democrats that argues a case for collusion, as well as spells out all the avenues the committee did not investigate.

    Monday's expected announcement is likely to further inflame the partisanship that's consumed the House Intelligence Committee for the better part of a year, amid fights over Chairman Devin Nunes' role in the investigation and more recently over competing memos about alleged surveillance abuses at the FBI during the Obama administration.

    In another sign of the partisan tensions, the committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, had not been told as of midafternoon Monday that Republicans planned to end the witness interview portion of the Russia investigation, according to a Democratic source. Conaway and Schiff do plan to speak on Monday, another source said.

    A spokeswoman for Conaway declined comment.

    Several Republicans on the panel have been signaling for several weeks now that they're ready for the Russia investigation to wrap up, arguing that Democrats are trying to extend the probe into the campaign season.

    Duh!

    A Senate Candidate and several Legislature candidates here in California are already at it. It is all about Trump. But they don't really expect the Russian thing to give them an edge. One guy said, they have to take control, because Trump has no soul!

    Kind of a catchy.

    Yeah, I feel so good that a group of republicans have came to a conclusion already with many more witnesses and lack of questions being answered in their "investigation". No biggie as the Big Dog Mueller is charging ahead.

    It frees up the committee to finally getting around to looking into Obama's birth certificate.

    Calling it a "House Intelligence Committee" is a joke. There was little intelligence and probably even less investigating.
