The Robert Mueller investigation which monopolized political discourse for two years has finally concluded, and his anxiously awaited report has been submitted to Attorney General William Barr. The results are in and the debate is over: those advancing the conspiracy theory that the Kremlin has infiltrated the highest levels of the US government were wrong, and those of us voicing skepticism of this were right.
The contents of the report are still secret, but CNN’s Justice Department reporter Laura Jarrett has told us all we need to know, tweeting, “Special Counsel Mueller is not recommending ANY further indictments am told.” On top of that, William Barr said in a letter to congressional leaders that there has been no obstruction of Mueller’s investigation by Justice Department officials.
So that’s it, then. A completely unhindered investigation has failed to convict a single American of any kind of conspiracy with the Russian government, and no further indictments are coming. The political/media class which sold rank-and-file Americans on the lie that the Mueller investigation was going to bring down this presidency were liars and frauds, and none of the goalpost-moving that I am sure is already beginning to happen will change that.
Say it again: Mueller has indicted *zero* Americans for conspiring with Russia to influence the 2016 election, which was central impetus for the Special Counsel in the first place. Anyone who denies this is an abject liar https://t.co/gRQdr01ZCv

It has been obvious from the very beginning that the Maddow Muppets were being sold a lie. In 2017 I wrote an article titled “How We Can Be Certain That Mueller Won’t Prove Trump-Russia Collusion”, saying that Mueller would continue finding evidence of corruption “since corruption is to DC insiders as water is to fish”, but he will not find evidence of collusion. If you care to take a scroll through the angry comments on that article, just on Medium alone, you will see a frozen snapshot of what the expectations were from mainstream liberals at the time. They had swallowed the Russiagate narrative hook, line and sinker, and they believed that the Mueller investigation was going to vindicate them. It did not.
I’ve been saying Russiagate is bullshit from the beginning, and I’ve been called a Trump shill, a Kremlin propagandist, a Nazi and a troll every day for saying so by credulous mass media-consuming dupes who drank the Kool Aid. And I’ve only taken a fraction of the flack more high profile Russiagate skeptics like Glenn Greenwald and Michael Tracey have been getting for expressing doubt in the Gospel According to Maddow. The insane, maniacal McCarthyite feeding frenzy that these people were plunged into by nonstop mass media propaganda drowned out the important voices who tried to argue that public energy was being sucked into Russia hysteria and used to manufacture support for dangerous cold war escalations with a nuclear superpower.
Just think what we could have done with that energy over the last two years. Think how much public support could have been poured into the sweeping progressive reforms called for by the Sanders movement, for example, instead of constant demands for more sanctions and nuclear posturing against Russia. Think how much more attention could have been drawn to Trump’s actual horrific policies like his facilitation of Saudi butchery in Yemen or his regime change agendas in Iran and Venezuela, his support for ecocide and military expansionism and the barbarism of Jair Bolsonaro and Benjamin Netanyahu. Think how much more energy could have gone into beating back the Republicans in the midterms, reclaiming far more House seats and taking the Senate as well, gathering momentum for a presidential candidacy that truly threatens Trump instead of 9,000 primary candidates who will probably be selected by superdelegates after the first ballot when there’s too many of them to establish a clear majority under the new rules.
.@caitoz sums up: "Mock the Russiagaters.Mock them ruthlessly, and never, ever let them forget the horrible thing that they did. Never stop making fun of them and reminding them how stupid and crazy they acted during this humiliating period of US history." https://t.co/rWTs9vHYPe

We must never let them forget what they did or what they cost us all. We must never let mainstream Democrats forget how crazy they got, how much time and energy they wasted, how very, very wrong they were and how very, very right we were.
Never stop reminding them of this. Never stop mocking them for it. Never stop mocking their idiotic Rachel Maddow worship. Never stop mocking the Robert Mueller prayer candles. Never stop making fun of the way they blamed all their problems on Susan Sarandon. Never stop reminding them of those stupid pink vagina hats. Never stop mocking them for elevating Louise Mensch and Eric Garland. Never stop mocking them for creating the fucking Krassenstein brothers.
Every politician, every media figure, every Twitter pundit and everyone who swallowed this moronic load of bull spunk has officially discredited themselves for life. Going forward, authority and credibility rests solely with those who kept clear eyes and clear heads during the mass media propaganda blitzkrieg, not with those who were stupid enough to believe what they were told about the behaviors of a noncompliant government in a post-Iraq invasion world. The people who steered us into two years of Russiavape insanity are the very last people anyone should ever listen to ever again when determining the future direction of our world.

WHAT?! NO COLLUSION!
Can the Mueller Team at least provide me with a refund?
Peq.
“Just think what we could have done with that energy over the last two years. Think how much public support could have been poured into the sweeping progressive reforms called for by the Sanders movement,”
I threw up in my mouth at that point.
It may not be over. A.Schiff may subpoena R.Mueller.

The point of the Mueller investigation was to divide the country because the elite weren’t happy with the election results. In that respect, it was a total success.
Those responsible (namely Obama, his surrogates, Hildabeast, her surrogates, and a cadre of others) need to be charged and prosecuted for orchestrating a soft coup against a duly elected president and the will of the people.
I’m not holding my breath. We’re in full banana republic mode.
If, as you suggest, the U.S.S.A. is in “…full banana republic mode.” then The Man From Queens would be responding in full “Pinochet” within the week. We are not quite there. yet.
Soon tho’, very soon.
Ivanka won’t let him go after hillary.
Liberal tears
It won’t work. I listened to what madcow the carpet munching slut and bill maher-smarmy little prick that he is react to muller’s report on their shows last night. I lasted about 3 minutes each. Both have been RUSSIA! fanatics from the git. Would they finally admit to what any reasonably decent person would and admit that they were wrong? Hardly. That would require the capacity for shame. They are where they are because they’re shameless. They’re expert at staring sincerely into a camera and lying through their teeth. Aside from being globalist sycophants, they’re paid millions to peddle their asses. And they’re bullshit rationales will be swallowed whole by the people who want 16 year olds to vote and regard scum like brennan and comey as patriots.
Sorry, Caitlin, appealing to decency is a non-starter.
What wrong with carpet munching?
Geuss it depends on whose carpet it is, whether it’s shag or berber, or how heavy the fragrance. Lots of variables packed into that question.
Heh-heh, you said ‘shag’.
Both Maher and MADCOW are jews and as such they will continue to push the jewish narrative as per their instructions from their betters.
“Just think what we could have done with that energy over the last two years. Think how much public support could have been poured into the sweeping progressive reforms called for by the Sanders movement”
Fuck You Caitlin, but thanks for pointing out that this investigation hampered your bolshevik utopia train.
Come to think of it, after re-reading my Fuck You Caitlin reply, what if this is Trump playing 64 D chess? Don’t fire Mueller, let the witch hunt happen, let the libtards believe for 2 years that there was collusion. Then instead of concentrating on their commie goals, they concentrate on this made up bullshit because they actually believe the shit. Brilliant! Of course that probably wasn’t the plan, but it still worked perfectly. And now with the bullshit over, he is holding all the cards and can release all the docs.
Drama for the masses. I don’t believe anybody cared. Nancy telegraphed this when the furlough ended, Pelosi won and in a magnanimous gesture, indicated there was no need for further action. Trump had been turned into a steer. Howl like a banshee Coulter could not believe Nancy had Trump’s balls in her pocket. She has the trophy furries under lock and key.

What a dog and pony show. No wonder why fishing and drag racing are so popular.
While I disagree with Caitlin Johnstone’s ideology (parts of it; I have no love lost for Binyamin Netanyahu), I must say she has done a great service to skeptic observers like me and definitely many here through her skepticism of Russiagate.
She called BS from day 1 despite her dislike of President Donald Trump. She’s a never-Trumper and she will never change that stance, but she has never allowed her political ideology, which conflicts with many of the President’s goals, to cloud her thinking. That she didn’t want him to win and that she thinks he’s a bad president never prevented her from assessing the situation impartially, and she saw through the lies, I dare say, earlier than a lot of pro-Trump folks.
Johnstone knew that Hillary and her allies within government were neck-deep in this entire narrative of lies and deceptions; the dossier, Christopher Steele, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok… she knew the lies when she saw them.
I give her a lot of credit for this. She’s no ideological ally of mine, but I respect her for her courage and her willingness to think for herself, even if I don’t agree with some of her other conclusions. That ideological enemies of mine called her a “Nazi” and a “Russian sympathizer” and a “fascist” shows what even a leftist like her endured at the hands of these rabid, irrational, and unreachable NPCs. If they treated her like this, we can get a better idea of why they treat us the way they do.
Russian collusion. I have a few palaces in Mars for sale, with golden plumbing, gravity machines, and oxygen converters, with lifetime warranties. (OK corny, but that’s how silly this Russian collusion idea was from the start to those who cared to think.)
