Time for a new term - Russiagate Dead-Enders

Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 02/14/2019 - 5:38pm

We might all be about to see the most epic partisan political meltdown in American history. How much damage this will do to the Democratic Party is beyond my ability to predict.

Two days ago we saw this.

After two years and 200 interviews, the Senate Intelligence Committee is approaching the end of its investigation into the 2016 election, having uncovered no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to both Democrats and Republicans on the committee.

This prompted a disingenuous pushback from Rachel Maddow.
Based on this reaction, we need to create a new term - Russiagate Dead-Enders.
In case you need some help picturing a Russiagate Dead-Ender, just think of a Hillary Dead-Ender.

Then today NBC, the same people who employ Maddow, posted this headline.

Millions of Americans may be sorely disappointed.

Unless Mueller files a detailed indictment charging members of the Trump campaign with conspiring with Russia, the public may never learn the full scope of what Mueller and his team has found — including potentially scandalous behavior that doesn't amount to a provable crime.

The reason: The special counsel operates under rules that severely constrain how much information can be made public.

Happy Fitzmas, Everyone!

Fitzmas
"Fitzmas" is the atmosphere of excitement and anticipation preceding the conclusion of Patrick Fitzgerald's grand jury investigation into the Bush regime's treason and perjury.

Wow. Who could have saw this one coming?
Oh wait, anyone with critical thinking skills. Hell, doubting Russiagate was the primary reason I got bojo'd from Dkos.
The GOS will likely be the most entertaining center of the meltdown. Who's got the popcorn?

So...what's happened with that lot?

@gjohnsit I stopped watching Noah and Colbert sometime in mid-2016 (after the primaries, before the general), partly because it was all just gratuitous depression-fodder by that point, but primarily because I'm just not a "watch a show that's on 4 days a week" kind of person.

It was kind of like in middle-school when, after reading the comics every day basically ever since I was first able to read them on my own, I realized one morning that I wasn't really doing it because I wanted to. I put them down and never looked back. The story of how/when I finally quit World of Warcraft in 2009 was not identical, but similar.

Jon Stewart and progeny were never perfect, and that's okay - but I should at least hope that Stephen Colbert is still the same guy who ripped Dubya a new one in 2006.

What about Jordan Klepper and The Opposition Report? That sounded clever, but I never got around to watching it (because again, even a good TV show 4 nights a week most weeks of the year is too much for me). Anyone?

Oh what a saint is Robert 'They have WMD' Mueller

One question I's like to get answered by all the fans of his 'investigation' is why will he not take an interview with Julian Assange? The offer has been made but the answer from Rep. Adam 'I see Russians everywhere' Shiff was that his committee would love to interview the person they attack the most, Julian Assange, but only "after he was cuffed and in custody". What a judge he'd make,'sentence first, trial later' in true Alice in Wonderland style.

But what is Mueller's excuse, here you have what you feel is major player in what you claim to be investigating and you don't want to hear from him? What real investigator wouldn't jump at the chance to get to interview a suspect before any trial to look for statements to use in Court against the suspect? Like hey we know who was the driver of the getaway car at the robbery that is willing to talk to us whaddya think? No were busy with our investigation.

There is a lot to dislike and distrust about Mueller beyond his role in promoting the Iraq war which was/is a 'war of aggression' (aka the worst war crime) and not sanctioned by the UN and bringing hundreds of thousands of deaths and many million refugees while destroying another Country.
That's bad enough by itself but his history is something which everyone should acquaint themselves if they want to know who he is and what he represents.

"...Long before he became FBI Director, serious questions existed about Mueller’s role as Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston in effectively enabling decades of corruption and covering up of the FBI’s illicit deals with mobster Whitey Bulger and other “top echelon” informants who committed numerous murders and crimes.

When the truth was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders committed by (the FBI-operated) Bulger gang.

Current media applause omits the fact that former FBI Director Mueller was the top official in charge of the Anthrax terror fiasco investigation into those 2001 murders, which targeted an innocent man (Steven Hatfill) whose lawsuit eventually forced the FBI to pay $5 million in compensation.

Mueller’s FBI was also severely criticized by Department of Justice Inspector Generals finding the FBI overstepped the law improperly serving hundreds of thousands of “national security letters” to obtain private (and irrelevant) metadata on citizens, and for infiltrating nonviolent anti-war groups under the guise of investigating “terrorism.” (…)

Mueller was even okay with the CIA conducting torture programs after his own agents warned against participation. Agents were simply instructed not to document such torture, and any “war crimes files” were made to disappear. Not only did “collect it all” surveillance and torture programs continue, but Mueller’s (and then Comey’s) FBI later worked to prosecute NSA and CIA whistleblowers who revealed these illegalities..."

Mueller was hired to exploit clueless Democrats

@aliasalias

...and use them to distract the public from the truth and radicalize them against Russia. The Democrats were instrumental in helping Mueller cover up the crimes of the US and UK intelligence agencies and operatives within the Obama Administration. They illegally conspired to orchestrate a victory for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election. Mueller and his fellow Intelligence and DOJ co-conspirators knew from the beginning that there was no collusion between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. UK operative Christopher Steele wrote the fake dossier for the FBI to prove otherwise. Steele, CrowdStrike, and Maddow were the big money-makers on this venture. It's estimated that Mueller will bill taxpayers $40 million for his part in bamboozling the American public.

Cover-ups and screw-ups is what Mueller specializes in. For everyone who didn't pick up on the Russia Hoax almost immediately, the DOJ hiring of Robert Mueller to drag it out with irrelevant distractions and ham-sandwich indictments should have tipped them off to the Hoax.

The Bad News: The real traitors and co-conspirators will simply walk away from their crimes; some quite a bit richer.

The Good News: Americans will never again trust the manipulative corporate news-media liars OR the American technology and social media sell-outs, thanks to Mueller & Friends. There, lies some hope....

...and use them to distract the public from the truth and radicalize them against Russia. The Democrats were instrumental in helping Mueller cover up the crimes of the US and UK intelligence agencies and operatives within the Obama Administration. They illegally conspired to orchestrate a victory for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election. Mueller and his fellow Intelligence and DOJ co-conspirators knew from the beginning that there was no collusion between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. UK operative Christopher Steele wrote the fake dossier for the FBI to prove otherwise. Steele, CrowdStrike, and Maddow were the big money-makers on this venture. It's estimated that Mueller will bill taxpayers $40 million for his part in bamboozling the American public.

Cover-ups and screw-ups is what Mueller specializes in. For everyone who didn't pick up on the Russia Hoax almost immediately, the DOJ hiring of Robert Mueller to drag it out with irrelevant distractions and ham-sandwich indictments should have tipped them off to the Hoax.

The Bad News: The real traitors and co-conspirators will simply walk away from their crimes; some quite a bit richer.

The Good News: Americans will never again trust the manipulative corporate news-media liars OR the American technology and social media sell-outs, thanks to Mueller & Friends. There, lies some hope....

As a reminder

@aliasalias Mueller has been CIA since before he went into the army back in the sixties. He fixed the Iran-contra trials. In case you missed it:

Also, going back a couple of years:

But, for the Russiagate deadenders, remember that he played lacrosse with John Kerry in school.

Oh, don't forget his role in the Iran-Contra hearings.

@Pluto's Republic

He ran the investigation into Noriega.

He's a fixer for the Bush faction. Always has been. Now that faction is the Bush/Clinton faction, but his loyalty remains.

He can churn more chaos and unintended outcomes than any lawyer I've seen in DC.

If you know how to read source code, I deposit a lot of research under some of my comments, that I can access later to elaborate. This comment is rich with hidden text. He cocks-up and buries just about everything he touches. That's why those corrupt Deep State bastards love him so much.

The Russia obsession may be common among the media whores

and certain activists and officials, but common people don't give a shit about it.

While the donor class is busy building and selling new tropes for why we need wars, average people are tuning out to the point of being dangerous. Look at what happened in France.

@jim p
Mueller from the very beginning. One only needs to look at the tremendous damage done to America's democracy during the last two years with this highly divisive investigation.

Trump could have shut it down but Vlad convinced him to let it continue because the fallout will almost guarantee him a second term.

My biggest disapointment with Bernie was when he signed onto the

Russia, Russia, Russia parade.
I have gladly gone from supporting Bernie to Tulsi with my $27/mo.
Bernie was always weak on our regime change wars. Tulsi is not.
Tulsi quit her DNC post to support Bernie. Bernie caved to support HRC.
The list goes on, but I need not belabor the point.
