Promises That Mueller Is ‘Closing In’ On Trump Are So Far Just The Media Crying Wolf
The Federalist ^ | December 13, 2018 | Adam Mill

If we didn’t need a free and independent media, it would be comical how they all yap this same talking point in perfect harmony.

Remember the scene in “Star Wars, A New Hope,” when the heroes find themselves in a giant trash compactor? They seem to escape danger until the walls start to close in on them, creating suspense and danger for the audience. It’s a classic metaphor, now being beaten to death by the media in reference to the so-called Russia investigation.

On Dec. 3, for example, Jill Abramson wrote an article for The Guardian titled, “The Mueller investigation is closing in on Trump,” citing recent news about the Moscow Trump Tower project and the disintegration of Paul Manafort’s plea deal. Why does that phrase sound so familiar? It’s been in the press in this context for more than a year now.

Excellent article.

The fake news media certainly are in lockstep with the same story over and over again.

Goebbels would be proud of our Nazi propaganda mass media (and of course several of our hate- mongering left wing political hacks)

More like wishful thinking on their part.

And again I ask: What happened to the original fbi 302s generated right after the Flynn interview?... <ueller references a 302 dated August 2017, but the interview was months before, and Comey has referenced his doubt that Flynn was lying to fbi on occasions that predate the August 2017 302, and Comey stated that after reading the 302s he had doubts Flynn was lying. What 302s did Comey read rpior to the August 2017 dated 302s? What was changed from the original 302s to the one Mueller references for the charging documents against Flynn?

According to Dan B, a federal judge has now asked for “all” 302’s. Every one of them. Let’s compare their contents.

Good for ratings I suppose - it’s all they have. I have no doubt that when Trump is out after another 6 years, they’ll all be friends again. As Pelosi says about character assassination and Kavanaugh level accusations and venom

“ It’s just a tactic”

The left gets strung along with vague promises of outcomes from Mueller... the right gets strung along with vague promises of outcomes from Q.

Meanwhile, the looting and pillaging of America, by the same people who have been doing so all along, continues unabated.
