The Quest for Collusion Is Over: And the Democrats Desperate Shrieks for Impeachment Begin
Washington Post ^ | December 5 at 1:56 PM | By Ed Rogers

Posted on 12/05/2017 2:47:44 PM PST by drewh

The quest for collusion is over. Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation has not — either through leaks or announced indictments — revealed any collusion, and Democrats and their allies in the liberal mainstream media know that it never will. This reality is setting in among the president’s clearer-thinking foes, and they are transitioning to an obstruction of justice claim in an effort to sustain the fight with President Trump.

Mueller’s investigation has been looking into Russian meddling in the 2016 election since May. His team has made a number of consequential findings, but none of them establish collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. We would know by now if anyone close to Trump had actually colluded with Russia to impact the 2016 campaign. The only thing we know for certain is that Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos and Michael Flynn have been indicted for or admitted to things that fall short of collusion and have nothing to do with the president.

The Democrats know their faux-outrage over collusion is hollow and spent. Given that Mueller’s investigation hasn’t found the holy grail or produced anything that rises to the level of criminality on the part of Trump, liberals in Congress and in the media are now transitioning to an obstruction of justice story-line. Mueller is not talking, so the president’s critics are creating a new line of attack based on the notion that the firing of former FBI director James B. Comey was somehow a criminal act.

The swamp did not peacefully transition power to Trump and they still haven’t...trying to eat up as much of the first two years as possible.

Hey now, take a look at laconic's post. And I've seen other similars.

How convenient would it be for all this to "Blow Over".

Why ? Because if they keep digging the Clinton Cabal gets roasted.

Or maybe my tinfoil is a bit too tight.

While Shrillary the Screech committed illegal acts with an incorruptible mind set and should be left alone.

It matters nothing what is done, only who does it. When you are aligned with the "struggle", then anything goes. But reactionaries are evil for simply breathing.

Hmmm two moonbats at work today started the morning with a nice conversation criticizing Trump over the Utah Monument story and within 5 mins were salivating over impeachment and calling the President no less than a traitor.

Scary to think these are the people that embraced HilLIARy and they sit in the same room with you.

I dont wanna share the same Planet with em!

...transitioning to an obstruction of justice claim in an effort to sustain the fight with President Trump...good luck with that, after Comey testified twice under oath in front of congress that he felt no pressure or intimidation from Trump to alter his investigation into the imagined Russia collusion.....

When it all blows over you wont hear about it in the media. They will just drop it down the memory hole and move on to some other ginned up crisis. Ever notice how these puffed up stories often just disappear from view, never to be heard from again?

If you read the comment section of the WaPo article, the democrats are wetting themselves. They have bought the fake news lies, hook line and sinker. They are totally deluded, and are aghast that such an opinion piece could be found in WaPo. Hilarious!

The Nazis at the WP are engaged in an attempted coup. Time to arrest them for treason. One day trial followed by a next day hanging.

The press camped out in front of Robert Star’s house, constantly hounding him. They never ask Mueller a single question.
