2 years of 24/7 propaganda onslaught and all they have to show for it is a hoard of hysterical, deranged and mentally damaged histrionics.
2 years of wasted time, money and effort instead of going back to the proverbial drawing board and trying to figure out why Trump cleaned their clocks in 2016, why people didn't vote for them and what needs to be done. Ridiculous and dumb!
So, there was no election meddling by Russia back in 2016 and we knew about it all along; the defeated DemoncRATs had to concoct something to keep up the pressure on Trump.
But the defeated party and their subservient media are not going to call it a quit yet; they will, Trump has warned, now employ various "below the belt" attacks in the run up to the 2020 election.
American public loves to be lied to. As long as it maintains their living standards, everything is allowed. They never care for truth or facts. That is the reason why this Russiagate is not going to end with the Mueller report.
Attorney General William Barr released his much-anticipated summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Sunday. In his four-page summary Barr wrote that Mueller did not find that Donald Trump’s campaign or associates conspired with Russia; the evidence was “not sufficient” to support a prosecution of the President for obstruction of justice; and Mueller’s team has no plans to issue any new indictments. It should be noted that Mueller did not make the decision himself on whether to prosecute the President on obstruction; the attorney general and Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein made the determination that the evidence was “not sufficient.”
“This was an illegal takedown that failed and hopefully somebody’s going to be looking at the other side,” Trump said.
After nearly two years of being under the cloud of the Russia investigation, Trump’s presidency is no longer directly under threat from the special counsel probe. He can now focus on his 2020 reelection campaign, although he may still face the specter of more legal and congressional action from the other investigations that remain ongoing. And others remind us that the controversy over the Mueller report could obscure something inherently more dangerous— the basic issues of Trump’s competence and character.

‘One of the greatest hoaxes in US history’: Russiagate narrative’s peddlers to be held accountable?
RT : 24 Mar, 2019
The Democrats and mass media should be held accountable for weaponizing the Mueller probe against Trump, ruining US-Russia ties and the lives of many Americans, ‘collusion skeptics’ tell RT, after suffering years of vilification.
“All of us were also exonerated, not just the president,” Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute, told RT, after Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow during the 2016 US election.
“It was a witch hunt. [Trump] knew it was a witch hunt... perhaps one of the greatest hoaxes in US history,” McAdams said, stressing that all Trump supporters suffered greatly for their criticism of the two-year-long probe.
“We were demonized, we were vilified for two years, called all manner of names,” while the Democrats and most of America’s mass media were engaged in pushing a false narrative about Trump's conspiracy with Russia.
At the end of the day, there should be a real reckoning from this.
“Now that these people have pushed this false narrative, and have damaged lives, and have damaged careers – is this where it's going to end? Are they going to have to pay for their crimes?”
‘Death row for US mass media’
The American establishment and mass media not only wasted millions of taxpayers’ dollars “fomenting and stoking tensions” between world nuclear superpowers, but also undermining any remaining trust in them, political analyst Charles Ortel told RT. Americans will have to be looking elsewhere for alternative news sources to avoid being duped any further by the chorus of disinformation from the mainstream media, he added.
“Any of these outlets that have been subjecting the world to all this... this is going to mark a death row for a lot of traditional media complexes, and magazines, and newspapers, etc,” he said. “Many Americans are sick and tired of this baloney. And we’re going to tune it out, we’re going to be rejecting them. We’re going to be looking for our news in a different way.”
Whoever decided to take us down this rat hole cannot be allowed to escape without intense scrutiny.
A weapon for political civil war in 2020?
Trump will likely use the conclusions of the probe to “disarm” the Democrats going into the 2020 presidential race, Patrick Henningsen, an American writer and global affairs analyst, told RT, concurring with McAdams that US media is implicated in having created the “biggest political hoax” in US history.
“What the president is going to do now is to take this result –or the lack of a result– and use it as a stick to perpetually beat the opposition with, right through the 2020 election cycle,” Henningsen predicted. “This will allow the president to fuel his attacks on the press [because it] vindicated his accusations of the fake news by CNN and others.”
While he is currently reluctant to do this, if Trump were to follow through on his earlier threats to “look at the other side” and investigate the Russiagate conspiracy peddlers, it could potentially erupt into a political civil war, Henningsen warned.
“There is a lot of aspects about this which haven’t actually got cleared up yet and I think there is a chance that they might investigate that side of things and, if they do, this could trigger a political civil war during the 2020 elections,” he warned.

US media suffers panic attack after Mueller fails to deliver on much-anticipated Trump indictment
RT : 23 Mar, 2019
Important pundits and news networks have served up an impressive display of denials, evasions and on-air strokes after learning that Robert Mueller has ended his probe without issuing a single collusion-related indictment.
The Special Counsel delivered his final report to Attorney General William Barr for review on Friday, with the Justice Department confirming that there will be no further indictments related to the probe. The news dealt a devastating blow to the sensational prophesies of journalists, analysts and entire news networks, who for nearly two years reported ad nauseam that President Donald Trump and his inner circle were just days away from being carted off to prison for conspiring with the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
Some journalists and television anchors took to Twitter and the airwaves on Friday night to acknowledge that the media severely misreported Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia, as well as what Mueller's probe was likely to find.
"How could they let Trump off the hook?" an inconsolable Chris Matthews asked NBC reporter Ken Dilanian during a segment on MSNBC's 'Hardball'.
Dilanian tried to comfort the MSNBC host with some of his signature punditry.
"My only conclusion is that the president transmitted to Mueller that he would take the Fifth. He would never talk to him and therefore, Mueller decided it wasn't worth the subpoena fight," he expertly mused.
Actually, there were several journalists who conjured up a reason why Mueller didn't throw the book at Trump, even though the president is clearly a Putin puppet.
"It's certainly possible that Trump may emerge from this better than many anticipated. However! Consensus has been that Mueller would follow DOJ rules and not indict a sitting president. I.e. it's also possible his report could be very bad for Trump, despite 'no more indictments,'" concluded Mark Follman, national affairs editor at Mother Jones, who presumably, and very sadly, was not being facetious.
Revered news organizations were quick to artfully modify their expectations regarding Mueller's findings.
"What is collusion and why is Robert Mueller unlikely to mention it in his report on Trump and Russia?" a Newsweek headline asked following Friday's announcement.
Three months earlier, Newsweek had meticulously documented all the terrible "collusion" committed by Donald Trump and his inner circle.
But perhaps the most sobering reactions to the no-indictment news came from those who seemed completely unfazed by the fact that Mueller's investigation, aimed at uncovering a criminal conspiracy between Trump and the Kremlin, ended without digging up a single case of "collusion."
The denials, evasions and bizarre hot takes are made even more poignant by the fact that just days ago, there was still serious talk about Trump's entire family being hauled off to prison.
"You can't blame MSNBC viewers for being confused. They largely kept dissenters from their Trump/Russia spy tale off the air for 2 years. As recently as 2 weeks ago, they had @JohnBrennan strongly suggesting Mueller would indict Trump family members on collusion as his last act," journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted.
While the Mueller report has yet to be released to the public, the lack of indictments makes it clear that whatever was found, nothing came close to the vast criminal conspiracy alleged by virtually the entire American media establishment.
"You have been lied to for 2 years by the MSM. No Russian collusion by Trump or anyone else. Who lied? Head of the CIA, NSA,FBI,DOJ, every pundit every anchor. All lies," wrote conservative activist Chuck Woolery.
Kim Dotcom was more blunt, but said it all: "Mueller – The name that ended all mainstream media credibility."
