Retrospective: Mueller and the fatal flaw of the Trump-Russia affair (Media DNC Collusion)
Washington Examiner ^ | 05/29/2019 | Byron York

Posted on 05/30/2019 2:53:32 PM PDT by Kid Shelleen

--SNIP-- The backdrop of conspiracy and coordination made every Trump-Russia episode, including routine political activities, look sinister. The Trump Tower meeting looked ominous in the context of conspiracy and coordination. Donald Trump's public statements about Russia and Vladimir Putin looked incriminating. Michael Flynn's conversations with the Russian ambassador looked suspicious. And more.

I know there are lots of Russia investigation stories but I find this one compelling because Mr. York highlights COLLUSION between DNC and media with specific stories starting in June 2016. Basically Clinton used the DNC hack as a tool to start the Russian narrative and the MSM was off to the races.

thanks.
good article, but:
“That same day, July 22, Wikileaks released emails from the Democratic National Committee. Two days later, on the 24th, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook went on television to claim that not only was Russia behind the hack — that was later proven true —

if CrowdStrike had the proof, then I don’t buy that

First problem is that there is no US code statute related to any crime called “collusion” so the entire criminal investigation was founded on a hoax created by the IC and media. At the time Mueller was appointed the entire investigation was a counter intelligence operation and he had no legal authority to investigate anything. The Rosenstein document that created the Special Prosecutor does not name a specific crime and only authorized an illegal fishing expedition.

To see was real criminal campaign violations with a foreign government look like you need to go back to the Bill Clinton campaign and the laundering of millions in Chinese government money or the secret meetings Ted Kennedy held with the Kremlin to cooperate on blocking Reagan’s second term.

Good point. I dont buy that it was proven the Russians hacked the DNC server. The DNC obstructed justice by refusing to turn the server over to the FBI and that is about the time Clinton started funding GPS.

I got one big thing out of the report. It was heartwarming.

The biggest part i got out of it is that the media wished to tell us that the Russian marketing group targeted one political party. The report corrects that notion: it was BOTH parties that were equally targeted. It was meant to spark a civil war.

“I got one big thing out of the report. It was heartwarming.”


I got one big thing out of both of the report and Mueller’s testimony yesterday, and it was also heartwarming.

That one thing is the fact that President could not be prosecuted for crimes while in office. However, the elephant in the room was not even mentioned, which is that anybody else can be charged with a crime. If the president was guilty of obstruction of justice, he would have to have accomplished that obstruction by ordering officials subject to his orders true not turn over certain critical evidence, or to destroy it or alter it. However, I didn’t notice any indictments of any Trump Administration officials for obstruction, or conspiracy to commit obstruction. So, in other words, they have nothing.

Besides not charging anyone with obstruction, or conspiracy to commit obstruction, there is the other elephant in the room of the Mueller report itself stating that no American colluded with Russia to change the results of the 2016 election. So if there is no underlying crime, there can be no such thing as obstruction of justice. An obstruction of justice requires that Justice be denied because someone altered, destroyed, or hid evidence necessary to bring one or more people to justice. But if there is no underlying crime, there is nothing to obstruct.

I don’t believe Russia did anything except what Hillary paid them for.
