We will NEVER get back to Normal Until we agree on FACTS
How does ANYONE still believe this "Russia Collusion" Nonsense?
A couple of weeks back, I was commenting on Peggy Noonan’s recent piece in the Journal.
Someone I don’t know responded thusly, which I already find suspect because WSJ Comment Rules specify one must use one’s real name. Weaseling out of it by hiding behind a W instead of a surname is pretty cheesy, but given the content of this person’s comment, unsurprising.
This nation will NEVER get back to rationality if people like this clown keep believing fantasies. The Mueller Report found NO EVIDENCE of this supposed "Russian collusion," which by the way no one ever explained to me. WHAT would this "collusion" have consisted of, anyway, and how if it existed - which it didn't - would it have impacted an election?
What "real evidence?" ALL of that "real evidence" was in the Steele Dossier which is a complete fabrication, which Mueller and Durham found. Bill Barr did NOT "undermine" anything. Go read the Mueller Report and then read Barr's book "One Damned Thing After Another."
Never mind the complete stupidity of charging ANYONE with "obstructing" an investigation when it turns out that the premise for the investigation itself was non-existent. It's like charging YOU with raping your daughter - which you didn't - and then, after a year of horrendous abuse by the police and district attorney, they say, "Hey, Tim, buddy, you sure did not rape your daughter. But, you're under arrest because the FBI said you were less than forthcoming in some interviews and in fact got mad a few times. We're going to call that 'obstruction' and convict you for that." It's ludicrous.
If any Democrats wanted anyone rational to believe anything coming out of "January 6th: The Musical!" playing in the Swamp Theatre, they should not have blocked real Republicans from being on the panel. They would have not tossed aside centuries of cross-examinations and defense-sourced witnesses - the one-sidedness of it guaranteed divisiveness instead of any sense of justice.
It's all ridiculous lies. And proven to be.
I do not know what the solution is to return the vast bulk of Americans - let's say 90% - to a settled acceptance of objective reality. We're never going to get more than that; for proof see the numbers of people who stil believe the Moon Landing was fake.
Until 90% of Democrats accept the objective reality of Mueller's Investigation - that the whole "Trump Colluded with Russia" fantasy existed nowhere except in the fevered imaginations of Christopher Steele and Hillary Clinton - we can never begin to approach reality.
Mueller and his team ALL HATED TRUMP and they could not find a shred of evidence that the wild awfulness of the Obama Administration authorizing spying on a Presidential campaign had any basis in fact.
Bill Barr puts the confusion well in his book "One Damned Thing After Another." Mueller messed up by adding some waffling nonsense about "obstruction" of the investigation. It was petty and has had long-term damage; if there is no underlying crime, why bother whining about possible "obstruction" to the investigation of that nonexistent crime? All it has done is give the nutters something to grab onto. "SEE? HE OBSTRUCTED! He must be GUILTY!"
People can hate Trump all they want; this absurd insistence on the "reality" of "Russian collusion" is nonsense.
