An Embarrassing End For Russia-Gaters

The Mueller investigation will soon end with Trump still in office and zero proof of collusion with the Russian government, which has been obvious since the beginning to everyone who isn’t a complete f-ing moron. 

In a just world, everyone who helped promote this toxic narrative would apologize profusely and spend the rest of their lives being mocked and marginalized. 

But in a world wherein pundits and politicians can sell the public a war which results in the slaughter of a million Iraqis and suffer no consequences of any kind, we all know that that isn’t going to happen 

The goalposts will be moved, the news churn will shuffle on, the herd will be guided into supporting the next depraved oligarchic agenda,  

And those of us who have been standing firm and saying this all along -- We were right. You were wrong. So sit down, shut up, & stop babbling about Russian bots for ten seconds, and let those who see clearly get a word in edgewise.

An illustration of how little journalists & "intellectuals" understand the world: their predictions of events related to Trump's presidency.

The sheer volume of phony, hysterical predictions builds the comedy. I dare you to watch it without breaking out into a smile, or even outright laughter. 

(It fizzled, bigtime)

After all the screaming headlines and hysterical talk of “treason,” the Russia-gate hoax was almost entirely absent from the midterms. One would think that the other party being in the hands of a ruthless foreign dictator who has it in for America would be a major campaign issue – that is, if the Democrats actually believed their own propaganda.

However, we’ve seen neither hide nor hair of Putin in all those campaign ads, or at least hardly a glance: that’s because Russia-gate has always been a fraud, a setup, and really a criminal conspiracy to take down a sitting US President on the basis of a gigantic lie.

"the misconduct of the highest DOJ and FBI officials in collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign to cook up the bogus Russia-gate case, and the subsequent scramble to cover up their activities" 

There is a lot to get to the bottom of in all this: 

the mis-use of FISA court warrants, the outsourcing of US intel activities to Britain’s MI6 intel agency to spy on US citizens, the role of Hillary Clinton and her campaign with FBI and DOJ officials in providing so-called opposition research used to provoke spying operations on Mr. Trump and his associates, and to confound the performance of his duties in office.

Robert Mueller's 'no questions' -  We must all bow down before him

Last week, I wrote that it has become sacrilegious to question the motives or performance of Mueller. His press conference was the greatest test of such blind faith. Mueller announced that “the report is my testimony” and that he would not answer questions from Congress either, beyond what is already in his final report. From anyone else, such a statement would be denounced as arrogant, evasive, or both. However, many members of Congress and the media accepted it as the gospel according to Mueller.  

The disconnect in the coverage of his remarks was striking. Attorney General William Barr testified for hours on his role and has answered dozens of questions. He was promptly dismissed as evasive and even perjurious. Mueller declared he would tolerate no questions and declined to address any of the criticism of his work with very little objection from the media.

Barr Is Right: The Trump-Russia Conspiracy Is ‘Bogus,’ And Mueller Proved It  

It might come as a surprise to some people, but being friendly with Russians isn’t a criminal act. A presidential campaign has the right to hire people who will pursue its foreign policy goals. Whether it’s good policy is up to voters, not intelligence agencies.  

Using the Democrats’ precedent, the Trump administration would be free to launch investigations into any campaign that hired  Iran sycophants like John Kerry, Ben Rhodes, or Samantha Power. Democrats have both openly dined and secretly met with Iranian officials.  https://thefederalis...ller-proved-it/
