No matter what Trump says, the case against Trump is not about Robert Mueller or any alleged “witch hunt.” Trump’s own Justice Department, in the office of his own handpicked federal prosecutor, has just implicated him in two federal crimes.
Preparing for a showdown with vile human beings
LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — The news out of Texas just moments ago that a state senate committee signed off on a trans-hate “bathroom bill” 8-1, sending the thing to the full senate for consideration wasn’t really a surprise, yet it momentarily shook me. See, I’ve been absorbing articles all week trying to pin down whether or not it was likely Robert Mueller would get fired by someone under the…
Trump in chains! The biggest step forward for trans people since Election day
LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — True, President Trump can still wreck havoc with our lives, but know this, Trump has run into a wall of his own making. He has learned the hard way that there are consequences to his actions. With all his political capital spent, Trump will find very little support from our country’s institutions — Congress, the courts, the FBI and other intelligence agencies, and…
“The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

Russiagate was a hoax. It was never real. It was always BS oppo research paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. It will go down in history as always being false. That is now definitive reality. If you ever spread the idea that Trump colluded with Russia as true, you were spreading lies. You were wrong, and you should concede you were wrong and apologize for it.
This was a conspiracy by the left in concert with the media to unseat a Democratically elected president through lies and falsehoods. The fact we went through this for almost three years is a stain on the public consciousness and a crime against the voters who expect the government to act on their behalf and the common good of all citizens. The perpetrators of these lies must be held accountable by the voters, the consumers of the propaganda outlets labeled as news and everyone else.
I will never forget this, and even though I voted for the Democratic Party in the past, I will never do so again because I doubt the people responsible for this heinous attack on democracy and the voters in the Democratic Party and the media will ever apologize. This will have huge ramifications including at the ballot box for the left. Mark my word. You won’t be able to sweep this under the rug. People will wake up. YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!
A footnote to my previous post, if and when the full Mueller report is leaked, expect the leaker to be demonized and prosecuted mercilessly. Remember Reality Winner? Probably not - that’s my point.
Can there be any better case study of how Republicans are so effective at manipulating media and public discourse than the Barr DOJ’s handling of the Mueller report?
1. Barr’s “summary “ letter established the basic spin of “no collusion, no obstruction“, even though it’s now clear the report is more nuanced. And of course taking advantage of nuance to establish favorable spin is a classic Republican tactic.
2. The letter set off a completely predictable round of Democratic retreat, recriminations, navel-gazing etc.
3. Congressional Democrats’ fully proper demand for the full report was recast as a”tiff”, part of a “feud” between Trump and Nader. Recasting straightforward legal issues in terms of personalities- also classic.
And the future course of events is perfectly obvious:
4. When the redacted report appears, the redactions will almost certainly shade the report in Trump’s favor. Congressional Democrats who have seen the full report will angrily assert this, and Mueller’s investigators will confirm. But Barr and Republicans will deny. And the media will report the controversy.
5. Democrats will subpoena the full report, Republicans will refuse, and it will go to court. Eventually - well after Trump has (hopefully) left office, it will reach the Supreme Court, which will rule in favor of Trump. The full report might well be leaked at that point, but it will attract little notice by journalists, because it’s no longer at the forefront of the news: “the country has moved on.”
6. And, many years later, historians will review the whole sorry history of the Trump presidency and find things that are even more shocking. But that will be much, much too late to matter.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has blocked two Democratic proposals he found too partisan. If McConnell dislikes the “Moscow Mitch” moniker as much as he says, he’ll find a way to work across party lines to better protect America’s democracy. Our view.Mike Huckabee’s view.

The Trump administration and Fox News repeatedly misinformed the public about the Mueller report’s conclusions, and many mainstream journalists bought into that dishonest spin. This misinformation campaign is what seemed to inspire Mueller to speak publicly about the report.
