After years of accruing retweets and Patreon donations with fevered speculation about Mueller, anti-Trump internet personalities are scrambling to figure out what’s next.
These are turbulent times for Resistance Inc.
The Robert Mueller fetishization cottage industry is collapsing. Russia conspiracy theorists are frantically tweet-storming as though their life—or livelihood—depends on it. And across liberal America, cable-news obsessives and keyboard warriors who have spent years waiting for investigators to produce a presidency-ending bombshell are in a state of open mourning.
Nowhere has the anticlimactic conclusion to Mueller mania been more acutely felt than in the alternative partisan media complex that services the so-called resistance. I first wrote about this world back in 2017, when an array of hyper-partisan Facebook pages, Twitter conspiracists, click farms, and podcasts were gaining popularity among stressed-out Trump-era liberals.
The landscape has shifted since that early attempt to map its topography. But even as new players have arrived on the scene and others have flamed out, the appetite for unsubstantiated, Mueller-centric speculation—and the attendant Trump-is-doomed narrative—never abated. So, when Attorney General William Barr notified Congress last weekend that the special counsel was closing up shop without having established a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, I decided to check back in on the resistance media. How were they taking the news—and what would they do now without their favorite content bonanza?
For now, at least, there remains a strong contingent of Trump-Russia truthers who are determined to squeeze every last ounce of click juice they can from the Mueller story before it turns rancid. In this crowd, the most popular theory of the moment is that Barr’s summary of the Mueller report—which has not been released to the public—is part of a sinister “cover-up” to protect the president.

I’m surprised there have been no jumpers............................
Hi.

Well they usually are so self absorbed that they couldn’t imagine the world surviving without them.
Most of those in the media know the Russia Collusion story was phony, but they promoted it anyway. Their thought was they could make Trump’s life a living hell, so much so that he would either stroke out or just throw up his hands, saying “I don’t need this, I quit.” They could then say, “see, we were right, case closed” and the investigation would shut down and everything about it would be covered up, down the Memory Hole, and their role in the coup would remain locked away.
They misjudged Trump’s tenacity. Now that the hoax has been exposed, they fear that their role in the attempted coup is being exposed. They are in panic mode. I saw Scarborough the other day and he was in total meltdown, practically screaming, which made him sound even more unhinged than usual.
If Graham, Paul and others really start investigating the origin, promotion and perpetuation of the hoax really get off the ground, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some of these a$$hats commit suicide.
They know darned well that Barr cannot release the whole report, because it includes grand jury information, plus national security information, but you’re not going to hear THAT spoken out loud by lefties, so the “Release the whole report!” liars are going to have to keep singing that dirge, and a significant number of people will not accept Barr’s synopsis, or even a more complete summary, as truth. Hey...It’s all they’ve got.
I'll repost my screed on this topic once more...
The "Mueller Story" is really a continuation of the Hillary "landslide win" story.
The MSM was so invested in the knowledge that Clinton would win in a landslide victory against Donald Trump that they still can't conceive that they were wrong. Therefore, something had to happen that stole the victory from her. That "something" was Russian collusion, and Mueller was supposed to prove that Hillary was set to win and Trump stole it from her.
Trump must be colluding with Russia, because that's the only thing that preserves the Hillary landslide belief. To believe that Trump won legitimately is to accept that the MSM was wrong about everything regarding Clinton and the true sentiments of the American people in the heartland.
They are not prepared to go there yet, which is why they won't accept the Mueller report as the final say, and why they're rejecting Attorney General Barr's integrity after only a few weeks in office.
For our mainstream media, this is like the story plot device where a person is in a dream, and then they wake up only to find that they are still dreaming; then they wake up again and find that they are still dreaming, again.
The MSM is still dreaming that Hillary won the election in 2016, and every time they wake up to the truth about Donald Trump, they go back to dreaming that Hillary really won.
Every day they wake up, expecting today to be the day that proves Trump stole it. And they won't rest until they're finally proven right.

Leah McElrath, a liberal writer and activist, speculated Sunday night that Republicans would now use investigations into the Russia-collusion “hoax” to put Hillary Clinton behind bars. “They really DO want her imprisoned,” she tweeted.
See? Some of them can actually print the truth. Yes, Leah, I really do want her imprisoned. It's been an interesting couple of days since the announcement, at which time I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of liberal voices suddenly cried out in terror...
The ONE THING the MSM is NOT ASKING is:
WHERE DID THIS RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX COME FROM?
WHERE DID THE INFAMOUS DOSSIER COME FROM? [Hint: Christopher Steele did not write it, and probably didn’t even read it]
These are questions THEY DO NOT WANT ANSWERED. They already know the answers and will do everything they can to hide them from America.
The fun is just now starting. Enjoy the ride.......................

The Atlantic has occasional moments of sanity—but they need to be careful what they say so they don’t get added to the “Hate Media” watch-lists. ;-)
Right on!
In my view, WE are the resistance.
I don’t want Hillary Clinton imprisoned any longer than it takes to buy the rope and construct the gallows. The swifter the justice, the safer we will be.
Good summary. Thank you.
Wait til pay back begins
Hopefully they get some help
