First No Collusion, Now No Actual *Russians* in Mueller's Disastrous Russian Collusion Illusion
PJ Media ^ | 03/18/2020 | Victoria Taft

Posted on 03/18/2020 7:17:48 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The "Russian collusion" case ended in an embarrassing whimper Monday. It turns out that in order to have a "Russian collusion" case, one must have "Russians" and "collusion." As we found out in the Mueller report from last year, there was no collusion with President Trump. On Monday, Mueller's prosecutors admitted they're running out of Russians, too.

Left in the wreckage, the first three years of the Trump candidacy and presidency, his reputation, the erosion of confidence in American governmental institutions, his friends and advisors imprisoned on process crimes from the corrupt investigation and Leftist governmental bots who planned it all who are not in prison.

The charges against three Russian "bot" farms and 13 individuals in Mueller's so-called Russian collusion case were dropped with prejudice on Monday. But the conclusion of the case was never in doubt.

When Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the Mueller team's much-ballyhooed charges in February of 2018 he knew they'd never have to prove the charges because the bot-farm operators – one of whom was Vladimir Putin's acquaintance – would never show up in court, nor could they be compelled to be, thus giving Mueller a paper Russian prosecution.

But, lo, one of the companies, Concord Management and Consulting, LLC, hired a high-powered attorney who came to the Mueller poker table, put some chips on the table, and called the bluff.

Concord's attorneys ran the table asking for voluminous discovery, as all defendants have the right to do, fighting every motion and spinning the Mueller team in circles by forcing it to argue for delays and sputtering over giving sensitive information to the Russians.

You knew this case was a joke when Mueller's prosecutors showed up and asked to have the arraignment delayed. The basis of their argument was that they wanted to ensure that the defendants had been properly served with the legal papers?

The judge in the case practically laughed in their faces.

“Why would you say they weren’t properly served with the legal papers? Their lawyers are sitting right here in this courtroom, ten feet away from you.

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
But the walls came down
I don’t think there are any Russians
And there ain’t no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin’ with tanks

The damage is already done

And to the Democrats and the media, that is all they wanted.

Nobody cares about the retraction on section 7D

This is what Obama, his foreign handlers and Hillary Clinton are capable of in their desperate fear of losing their power. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age.” (Ephesians 6:12).

This is a fight we implore God to help us win. Pray for President Trump and those who support him as never before.

You are right. But such a shameful closure, if that is actually the for-real end, to a shameful saga in our history.

Democrats made an accusation and that alone makes it serious.

What better time to drop the prosecution than during a time when the media is pre-occupied with a “plague of Biblical proportions”

Mueller and DOJ knew back in May 2018 that this case was never going to happen. The day Concord announced they would see the DOJ in court, DOJ’s only plan was to delay and maintain the “Russians indicted for election interference” smoke screen. This indictment was part of every liberal’s argument that Russian interference/collusion was proven.

Psalm 2 1 Why do the nations ragea

and the peoples plot in vain?

2The kings of the earth take their stand

and the rulers gather together,

against the LORD

and against His Anointed One:

3“Let us break Their chains

and cast away Their cords.”
