Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
The instigators of this investigation, launched to bring down a president, have damaged and divided this nation, and they need to be exposed, as do their collaborators in the press.
“The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia … to influence the 2016 US presidential campaign.”
So stated Attorney General William Barr in his Sunday letter to Congress summarizing the principal findings of the Mueller report.
On the charge of collusion with Russia, not guilty on all counts.
After two years of hearing from haters in politics and the media that President Donald Trump was “Putin’s poodle,” an agent of the Kremlin, guilty of treason, an illegitimate president who would leave the White House in handcuffs and end his days in prison, we learn the truth.
It was all a bright, shining lie.
Reeling from Trump’s exoneration, big media are now scurrying to their fallback position: Mueller did not exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice.
But Mueller was not obstructed. No one impeded his labors.
As for Trump’s rages against his investigation, they were the natural reaction of an innocent man falsely accused and facing disgrace and ruin for a crime he did not commit, indeed, a crime that had never been committed.
The House Judiciary Committee may try to replicate what Mueller did, and re-investigate obstruction. Fine. This would confirm what this whole rotten business has at root always been about: a scheme by the deep state and allied media to bring down another president.
The Mueller investigation employed 19 lawyers and 40 FBI agents. It took two years. It issued 2,800 subpoenas. It executed 500 search warrants. It interviewed 500 witnesses. And it failed to indict a single member of Trump’s campaign for collusion with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
Which raises this question:
If Mueller could find no collusion, after an exhaustive two-year search, what was the compelling evidence that caused James Comey’s FBI and Barack Obama’s Department of Justice to believe that such collusion had occurred and to launch this investigation?
Sunday, after Barr’s summary of the Mueller report became public, Trump aired his justified anger: “It’s a shame that our country had to go through this. To be honest, it’s a shame that your president has had to go through this. … This was an illegal takedown that failed.”
Is there not truth in this?
Millions of Americans still believe what is now a manifest falsehood — that their president collaborated with Putin in cheating Hillary Clinton out of the presidency. The legal bills of Trump, his family, his campaign aides and his White House staff must be huge. Careers, reputations have been damaged.
The nation has been distracted and bitterly divided over this since Trump’s first days in office. He has had a cloud over his presidency since he gave his inaugural address. Any ability the president had to fulfill his campaign pledge and negotiate with the largest country on earth, Russia, a superpower rival, has had to be put off.
Is it unfair to ask: Who did this to us?
Who led the Justice Department into believing Trump conspired with the Russians? Why did it take two years to discover there was no collusion? Who gave Putin and the GRU this victory by helping to tear our own country apart?
Our establishment is forever demanding apologies. Where are the apologies for the outrageous accusations that Trump was guilty of something next to treason?
Sen. Joe McCarthy did not do a fraction of the damage to the reputations of Dean Acheson or George Marshall that the elite media have done, unjustly and maliciously, to the reputation of Donald Trump.
Years after French Artillery Capt. Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of colluding with the Germans in the late 19th century, and was sent to Devil’s Island, evidence against another officer emerged.
Soon, it was Dreyfus’ accusers who were in the dock of public opinion.
That needs to happen now. The instigators of this investigation, launched to bring down a president, have damaged and divided this nation, and they need to be exposed, as do their collaborators in the press.
The roots of Mueller’s investigation go back to the Clinton campaign’s hiring of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump. Fusion GPS hired ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He had sources in Russian intelligence who provided him with the contents of his infamous dossier. This was delivered to a grateful cabal at the FBI, which used it as the basis of a FISA court warrant to surveil the Trump campaign.
The dirt in the Steele dossier, much of it false, would be secretly shared with Trump-haters in the media to torpedo his candidacy; then, when Trump won, to destroy his presidency before it began.
Now that Trump has been exonerated, the story of how his accusers, using the power of the state, almost murdered a presidency with lies, propaganda and innuendo, needs to be brought out into the sunlight.
For democracy dies in darkness, and this can’t happen again.

Probably the best thing the President can do at this point is to go before the nation in prime time with a well crafted message for how swift action will be taken, effective immediately. Whoever has the most incriminating evidence against them gets indicted first-no names need be divulged at this point-keep ’em guessing when their turn will come. Let them scream and howl. When the first indictment is made then the game has changed.
Change the daily twitter messages to a scorecard on the progress of the new initiative. Forget the personal animosities; use the legal system to punish the traitors.
Our nation deserves nothing less.
Excellent suggestion, therefore the likelihood of this happening approaches zero.
But that is what a non-reality TV actor would do.
Wait. A false-flag cometh instead?
Because the narrative must change?
Corruption Reigns: Trump NOT Exonerated as Hate-Crime Hoaxer Jussie Smollett Receives Pardon:
The rule of law is dead in America. Do what thou wilt is progressively the new norm.
But this was a smooth narrative channel-change on short notice (perhaps until a better false flag can be generated) because it provides cover for the MSM in the meantime.
Smollet’s “vindication” is being primarily reported – with Mueller’s “lack of exoneration” of Trump now taking the back burner, so to speak.
In Trump’s America, Chicagoland cops tried to frame an “innocent” black man who wrote a check to two Nigerians to fake a hate crime.
Nope. Nothing to see there.
Yet, a “vindication” that now looks to have already backfired :
Signs of desperation? Channel flipping distractions? Or a Reality TV Show on the purposeful and systematic destruction of American institutions?
Yep.
Ask a liberal this today. What if the reason the Mueller report couldnt prove anything was because Trump deleted 33,000 emails from his server when he was subpoenad to produce them. And melania wiped the hard drives with bleach bit. The trump kids all smashed their smart phones with hammers. Kelley ann conway is tied to the Muslim brotherhood and her husband has material on his computer that will get him charges for having sex with a 15yo.
BOOM! I see liberal heads EXPLODING! Chip
Trump needs to make an issue with the Brits as well. They own the BBC.
The BBC news hour plays repeatedly at 2:00 pm every day on NPR.
Force the BBC to repeatedly tell the truth on this matter. Steam these hard core lefties until their heads explode..
Isn’t New Zealand part of the Five Eyes? Hmmmmm…
Podestas needs to be part of the round up…both of them.
When you knowingly present false evidence and testimony before a federal judge which has been proven thanks to the fallout from the Muller investigation and that judge issues warrants because of your purgery what happens to John Q Public ?
If I were that judge I would have them all in front of me in orange jump suits and shackles . One at a time answer my questions or be held in contempt till I get tired of you in jail ! All their assets would be frozen by my bench warrant if on the federal payroll that too would end again till I see some actual admission with no courtroom antics !
You would go down Nuremberg style !
That would be awesome! Trump could pull that off too. Because…
It would be safe to assume that the FISA judges were a part of the plot, not unwitting dupes. And since this has been ongoing for almost two years without a single FISA judge ordering any of the malefactors to be held accountable for the fraud, it’s almost a certainty.
That treatment is reserved for Roger Stone.
I wouldn’t hold my breath about this. Its a club of the wealthy and they seem to get away with almost anything.

Good pic, as revolting as it is, for a “Caption This” submittal.
And less than one year later – Trump has been vindicated of collusion by special counsel Robert Mueller, leaving Brennan mumbling on MSNBC with a stone-face; “Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” adding – with a mouth full of crow “I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election.” ZHedge
And yet not once, not ever really, does anyone in journalism ask the pertinent questions; from whom did you receive your bad information?
Please stop printing pictures of turds, they make me sick!
They wanted change – they got change. Now the media is accepted and never challenged even using skullduggery. Not all change is for the better.
Hey! Were there any lives lost over this Russia gate lie? If not, then why isn’t this article perusing the WMD lie? Get your priorities in line. Trump is not the center of the universe and he is about to do a WMD repeat on Iran. The level of misplaced priorities, ignorance, and the weoponization of sheer stupidity is astounding. Trump and Bibi agreed to “Do anything” to protect Israel, and I suspect circumventing the constitution is not off the table. As Trump so often repeats, “all options are open”. The comments lately are so predictably boring and amount to nothing more than repetitiously parroted party line BS. Get over it. No one is going to jail. One would think even slow minded people would understand this and why. There is not one person in power that got there honestly. Criminals do not put fellow criminals in jail. Pirates don’t turn on each other. Only brainwashed political enthusiast who hang on every word their group leaders utter turn on each other.
You forgot a step in the process: The grateful FBI cabal received the Dossier from John McCain, did they not?
“Who gave Putin and the GRU this victory by helping to tear our own country apart?”
WTF is Pat referring to here? Putin won nothing but more undeserved sanctions which I’m sure has made any kind of friendly partnership real sketchy.
Dream on. Its Washington and the Demoncratic nut bags, and the liberal media that pushed the lies will pursue those lies and crap to continue to piss on the President. It will not end until pieces of shit like Hillary, Comey, Obama, and the rest of the worthless slime is behind bars. Sadly this will not happen and the shit will continue to fly and tear apart America!
