It's official: Russiagate is this generation's WMD ...

[phill4paul]

...The Iraq war faceplant damaged the reputation of the press. Russiagate just destroyed it

Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media.

As has long been rumored, the former FBI chief’s independent probe will result in multiple indictments and convictions, but no “presidency-wrecking” conspiracy charges, or anything that would meet the layman’s definition of “collusion” with Russia.

With the caveat that even this news might somehow turn out to be botched, the key detail in the many stories about the end of the Mueller investigation was best expressed by the New York Times:

A senior Justice Department official said that Mr. Mueller would not recommend new indictments.

The Times tried to soften the emotional blow for the millions of Americans trained in these years to place hopes for the overturn of the Trump presidency in Mueller. Nobody even pretended it was supposed to be a fact-finding mission, instead of an act of faith.

The Special Prosecutor literally became a religious figure during the last few years, with votive candles sold in his image and Saturday Night Live cast members singing “All I Want for Christmas is You” to him featuring the rhymey line: “Mueller please come through, because the only option is a coup.”

Anyone who trusts the media is beyond naive at this point.

The media has been focusing on the indictments as if it was evidence of something. They were nothing but perjury traps. How many officials have been guilty of lying? And what happened to them? How many times has Mueller lied to Congress? Where are the indictments of the people who lied to the FISA courts in order to wiretape the Trump organization?

It's a long read but he lays out all the major transgressions and the actors that played their role in duping the left wing crowd.

I think Nancy Pelosi got a heads up about the Mueller Report. This is why she suddenly did an about face and said not to bother with impeaching Trump. Although, impeachment is all we heard about since he was elected.

No collusion whatsoever? Color me shocked.

I will be enjoying the meltdowns again. Has anyone bought the liberals tear cup? :D

It worked to sway the voters.

Ironically, one of the original Iraq WMD Yellow Cake lies team's disgraced Judith Miller (of fakenews NYT) was on fair-n-balanced neocons run Foxnews today and seemed quite reasonable compared to one of the resident MAGA champions on Fox, esteemed Israeli (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?532681-Trump-says-it-s-time-for-US-to-recognize-Israel-s-Sovereignty-over-the-Golan-Heights&p=6770884&viewfull=1#post6770884) American lawyer A. Dershowitz who made a strong case about MAGA being victimized after having done nothing wrong. Video not on youtube yet.

That said, MAGA vindicated message is also being compared by some critics to Bush's premature "Mission Accomplished" Iraq victory tour which is bit unfair.
Fakenews media's "Nothing Burger" cover story was designed to fail in many respects.

I want to know how much the taxpayers paid for this nothing burger the left set in motion? Can the Fed/(or someone) ssue the DNC to recoup loses?

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

OP just gave them too good of an idea. They'll investigate if Russia has WMD's, find out they do, then try to impeach Trump because Russia has WMD's.

For me it's this quote from Taibbi's article:


The story hyped from the start was espionage: a secret relationship between the Trump campaign and Russian spooks who’d helped him win the election.

American's have short term memory. Every friend, acquaintance or colleague of mine who has maintained Trump is a Russian spy points to the bullshit indictments for tax fraud and other bull that his associates have been tried for, They forget that from the very beginning this was about something huge that was NEVER true.

Trump just might be the cleanest President we've ever had. I figured he would be banging porn stars, and I assumed shady business dealings, but he's practically cleaner than Michelle Obama's unused maxi-pads.
