Mueller’s Sop to the Slavering Media

Having anxiously watched Robert Mueller blunder around the Beltway for a year with his metal detector and tinfoil hat, the legacy media were doubtlessly relieved Friday when he seemed to have finally found something they could sink their teeth into.

Being too dishonest to tell the truth, the “journalists” who infest the airwaves and the editorial offices of the big dailies have been reporting… well… fake news. . snip

So, when Hillary Clinton began blaming her defeat on the Russians, the media picked up the theme. And, when Robert Mueller was assigned to look into those charges, Watergate began dancing like sugarplums through their heads. But Mueller can indict 13 Russian nationals or 13 ham sandwiches. It means nothing if the President’s supporters go to the polls in November and crush the Democrats. That will protect him from impeachment, and will also have the salubrious effect of driving the media around the bend.

A quick but worthwhile read. The comments are also worth a visit.

My hope is that this whole putrid mess will continue to be peeled back like the layers of an onion so that the general population clearly understands the rot in the system. I can only hope the many will go to prison before this is over, but, won't be surprised is the "big fish" are allowed to swim away.

As always, just my 2¢.

There was no Trump collusion with the 13 recently indicted Russians. The investigation is not over. Mueller has to submit his final report before it is over. Don’t jump to conclusions.

“Slavering” is too proper. The more accurate adjective is “Slobbering.”
