You all know this. It doesnt even have to apply to a political situation. When someone tells a lie, and that lie is exposed, it all falls apart. Whether it be the Ponzi scheme Bernie Madoff or the Trump-Russia collusion myth, things are quickly and rapidly falling apart for this manufactured lie that engulfed the country since the 2016 election. Everyone who isnt Trump deranged knew this was a pile of crap. How many bombshells have there been? How many have turned out to be nothing burgers, not even lasting 36 hours in the news cycle because there was never solid evidence to prove such a conspiracy? This is what happens when the entire myth was based on a political opposition research document - the Trump dossier - which was compiled by an ex-MI6 spook Christopher Steele, whose anti-Trump efforts were funded by Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was probably never vetted by the FBI, given the glaring errors in it, and it was used as credible evidence to secure a spy warrant against Carter Page, a former Trump campaign official. It was biased political propaganda. This collusion delusion was already debunked in the original Mueller report, which said there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and shredded what was left of the unverified Trump dossier. The Department of Justice Inspector Generals report on the FISA abuses during the Obama administration also took a tomahawk to the dossier. The core of this collusion myth was already dead, but with the exoneration of Michael Flynn, President Trumps former national security adviser, more pieces are falling off this dead collusion carcass.
**SNIP**
Now, we have a former Obama official who admits, under oath, that she lied about having evidence of Trump-Russia collusion on an appearance for MSNBC.

“Paul Ryan by far.”
Absolutely he is the worst. As House Speaker he used every maneuver to slow walk Trump’s agenda and keep it from being passed. He then announced he was “retiring” and instead of stepping down immediately, allowing a new GOP House speaker to be appointed, he stayed in office doing nothing through the entire election season. As a result the GOP messaging for House candidates was uncoordinated and ineffective at a time when the Democrats were on a full court press to take the House of Representatives. It is almost as though he was colluding with them.
And no one cracked during the Clinton administration.
No Swampster ever goes to prison.

Oh, and lock them up.
Youd never know it reading the Warren Courts destructive New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision, but there is one.Slander is actually illegal. And so is libel. And, pace Sullivan,
". . . libel can claim no talismanic immunity from constitutional limitations. It must be measured by standards that satisfy the First Amendmentthe First Amendment does not touch slander and libel law.The claim in Sullivan that it does is a fraud because everyone had a right to their earned reputation, before and after the First Amendment. The Federalists werent breaking any new ground when compiling the Bill of Rights, they were - under pressure from the Antifederalists - preventing anyones rights from changing. They promised a bill of rights by amendment in order to get ratification of the Constitution, and they needed to deliver. So the First Amendment is not about changing the rights to sue for libel or slander. At all.
