True, there is an ongoing investigation relating to Russia's efforts to interfere and any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and Russia's efforts.

1) Comey and Rogers both stated the election results were not hacked, contrary to what was going around a while back. Yes, they believe the Russians gave information to Wikileaks to damage Hillary, but as far as the election being compromised, there is no evidence it was.

I don't remember hearing that Russia hacked "election results". In fact, it would be virtually impossible to do so. However, it does look as though the Russians illegally hacked into the servers belonging to Democrats, gained information, and used that information to politically damage Trump's political opponents - thereby swaying the electorate with information gained illegally.

2) Again, I'm not sure you understand the FBI investigation. You post as though there's a criminal investigation focused on Trump. That's misleading, because it's not a criminal investigation and also because it's an investigation on Russian interference and whether anyone from Trump's campaign conspired unlawfully.

You are correct, there is an ongoing investigation regarding the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and Russia's efforts.
P.S.
Investigating any possible links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign who might have links to Russia and Russia's illegal efforts includes Trump himself.
