The Dems. deliberately feed the Dem. News Industry negative Trump stories. They run with it. The gullible audience believes it, simply because it is on T.V. Liberals are threatened by the Trump Agenda and Conservatives. The audience is addicted to hate toward anything not liberal.
I believe Herr Mueller knew the “Russia collusion” was all fake. His calculus (I speculate) was that his “investigation”, countless insider leaks, hostile media narratives, spineless GOPe and pursuit of Trump’s closest advisers... (the bet/hope?) Trump would soon wilt under the pressure and resign. When it became clear Trump would not... Mueller and his “Grand Inquisitors” realized they were outta ammo... and (IMHO) he decided he wasn’t gonna fall on his sword for Hillary or the Deep State. So he had to fold his cards, admit there was no collusion or obstruction of justice, punt and attempt to save what little integrity he has left... which is (again IMHO) in tatters! #CoupFail
