"Reason to believe" must be hard evidence. If an investigation is needed in order to find evidence, then, in the first place, there is no "reason to believe, and the search for evidence is a search for a "reason to believe."

And if the investigation concludes that "The evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference", then their actually was no evidence in the first place that would lead to a "reason to believe," unless one just wanted to believe it, or wanted to make it appear so.

It appears that the investigation was inspired by allegations rather than hard evidence. And it appears that suspicious and illicit methods were used to "spy" on the Trump administration.
