Over the next several weeks, you’re going to watch DNC Media struggling to spin, explain away, bury, ignore or outrightly deny and refuse to accept that after a 2 year exhaustive investigation, the Mueller Special Counsel found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russia collusion.
All their histrionics won’t change a single thing.
Mueller didn’t find what he didn’t find.
Now just as they make the segue to ginning up hysteria over the House investigations by Democrats in Congress, Trump’s counter-assault is going to begin.
While Adam Schiff, Jerold Nadler and others are over there wildly waving their empty clenched fists and claiming they have MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE proving Trump crimes, vainly trying to hold the public’s attention....
nobody is going to be paying any attention to them.
Trump had to wait until Mueller showed his results.
All the drama you are seeing about Mueller’s results being HIDDEN from the public are nonsense. Trump and his administration WANT that report released to demonstrate there was no Russia collusion or any other Trump crimes.
What’s the BIGGEST, LOUDEST talking point the Democrats & DNC Media & Never Trump would’ve had if Trump DIDN’T wait until Mueller was finished to launch his counter-offensive against the SpyGate plotters & the Clinton Machine?
“Trump is *interfering* with and *obstructing* the Mueller Special Counsel and he’s only going after these people to STOP THE EVIDENCE OF HIS COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA and his other crimes from being found and made public!”
They have LOST that talking point.
Lost if FOREVER.
Lost *it* FOREVER.
THAT is why Trump waited. NOBODY is going to be able to say with a straight face Trump’s going after the people who were exposing his Russian collusion.
That talking point narrative is now deader than Elvis.
Mueller looked high
Mueller looked low.
Mueller looked near.
Mueller looked far.
You know he tried. He and his team of 12 Angry Democrats...they tried, folks.
THEY TRIED SO HARD.
You know they did.
And now DNC Media, Democrats and Never Trumpers are trapped.
They just spent TWO YEARS claiming Mueller had the goods.
Stupid people, of course, see no reckoning at all coming for the DNC Media and the Democrats.
Why, they’ll just deny everything and sail serenely onward!
BULLSHIT.
BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT.
Because now Trump is going to start COUNTER ATTACKING in earnest.
He held his fire for TWO YEARS just waiting for this moment.
Trump will FORCE the reckoning on them.
They will not be able to avoid it.
When the indictments of SpyGate plotters are unsealed, they HAVE to cover it, they HAVE to talk about it.
“Well Trump’s only had McCabe/Comey/Simpson/Steele/Clapper/Brennan/Whoever indicted cuz hey, that person was going to help expose his Russian collusion!” is a dead talking point.
For 2 years DNC Media, Democrats & Never Trump spun hand-waving bullshit based on fake news leaks “Mueller’s got the goods on Trump now, folks! It’s all over for Trump! Here Comes Mueller! It’s Mueller Time soon!”
There never was ANY evidence of Trump/Russia collusion.
None.
Guess what? Trump’s counter assault now that Mueller’s closing shop having found no Russia collusion is NOT - I REPEAT - NOT - GOING TO BE BASED ON HAND WAVING BULLSHIT.
The *evidence* for SpyGate has been meticulously collected by serious people.
They have it all.
THESE guys didn’t spend the last two years leaking bullshit fake news to ANYBODY.
They spent those two years quietly, exhaustively and meticulously collecting *EVIDENCE*.
Do you understand the difference?
They took their best shot at Trump, all they had was bullshit hand waving fake news leaks that strung people along for two years before the truth finally comes out when Mueller releases that final report.
Now it’ll be Trump’s turn, and his people will be presenting EVIDENCE.
OFFICIAL DOJ REPORTS and OFFICIAL DOJ INDICTMENTS will lay out the evidence Horowitz & Huber have been collecting.
These won’t be breathless fake news scoops in the NYT’s or the Washington Post or Buzzfeed that fall apart after a few days.
And you can quote me on that.

ADDENDUM: “Well the DNC Media will just IGNORE Trump’s counter assault!” I’m being told in comments in response to this thread.
Great!
Even if they COULD DO THAT [and I’m not admitting they can] explain HOW THAT STOPS TRUMP & HOROWITZ AND HUBER from doing anything.
Go!
Again people are making the same dumb mistake of thinking this is a PUBLIC RELATIONS battle.
It’s not.
James Comey waving a copy of Time Magazine’s glowing portrayal of him is not going to save him.
He can chant “BUT THE MEDIA SAYS I’M A SAINT!” all the way to prison.
THAT was a high quality rant.
There’s an interesting line in the ]SESSIONS[ letter to ]HUBER[ via ]WHITAKER[
It says that HUBER needn’t look at anything he’s been assigned that’s already being handled by the Mule.
I first read that the way it sounds i.e. if HUBER comes across something that the Mule is looking at then he can override the Mule and move on that, too.
But reading the other way is even more exiting to contemplate - what if it’s saying, “do CF & U1 and FISA” with an allowance that the Mule op could be leveraged or WH. That interpretation, works too.

POTUS tweets:
“There’s not one shred of evidence that President Trump has done anything wrong.” @GrahamLedger One America News. So true, a total Witch Hunt - All started illegally by Crooked Hillary Clinton, the DNC and others!
