The piecemeal release of FBI files in the Russia collusion investigation has masked an essential fact: James Comey’s G-men had substantially debunked the theory that Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with Moscow by the time the 45th president was settling into the Oval Office, according to declassified memos, court filings and interviews.
And that means a nascent presidency and an entire nation were put through two more years of lacerating debate over an issue that was mostly resolved in January 2017 inside the bureau’s own evidence files. The proof is now sitting in plain view.

Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser, was not engaged in collusion with the Russians. The latter revelation has mostly escaped much notice, contained in a single sentence in a once-sealed court motion filed by Flynn defense attorney Sidney Powell that requested what is known as Brady material, or evidence of innocence.
That motion dated Sept. 11, 2019 requested access to “an internal DOJ document dated January 30, 2017, in which the FBI exonerated Mr. Flynn of being ‘an agent of Russia.’”

Yeah, hard to say the case fell aprat when it plowed ahead for two years, made headline news every month, and resulted in many indictments.
This could be spun as a government success story, a picture of how well the government can perform when it has a mission. Never mind the mission is to go after innocent people, look how well the government performed!
and now with the help of paniky Freepers its’s dejavu
Thanks for this astute observation.
If only their mission had been to go after coronavirus and not Trump.

The Russian Collusion Hoax noted by some at the time is, egads, a hoax.
So true. The same political hacks who sold us down the river to China tried to over turn our election while at the same time blaming Russia. And now they want our guns? No way.
