Caitlin
Johnstone reported:
The
Robert Mueller investigation which monopolized political discourse
for two years has finally concluded, and his anxiously awaited report
has been submitted to Attorney General William Barr.
The
results are in and the debate is over: those advancing the conspiracy
theory that the Kremlin has infiltrated the highest levels of the US
government were wrong, and those of us voicing skepticism of this
were right.
The
contents of the report are still secret, but CNN’s Justice
Department reporter Laura Jarrett has told us all we need to know,
tweeting, “Special Counsel Mueller is not recommending ANY further
indictments am told.” On top of that, William Barr said in a letter
to congressional leaders that there has been no obstruction of
Mueller’s investigation by Justice Department officials.
So
that’s it, then. A completely unhindered investigation has failed
to convict a single American of any kind of conspiracy with the
Russian government, and no further indictments are coming.
The
political/media class which sold rank-and-file Americans on the lie
that the Mueller investigation was going to bring down this
presidency were liars and frauds, and none of the goalpost-moving
that I am sure is already beginning to happen will change that.
Full
report:
The Mueller investigation is complete and this is a simple fact that will never go away: not one single American was charged, indicted or convicted for conspiring with Russia to influence the 2016 election - not even a low-level volunteer. The number is zero.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 22, 2019
So many in the media devoted endless airtame & print & pixels misleading people to believe Mueller was coming to arrest & prosecute Trump, Jr, Kushner & so many others for conspiring with Russia over the election & obstruction. None of that happened. You can't pretend it away.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 22, 2019
If you’re MSNBC right now, what do you do? After 2 years of peddling a conspiracy theory by shutting out dissenting voices & countervailing facts, do you: double down w/ deflection, denial, distortion in the hopes your audience doesn’t catch on; or: start doing actual journalism?— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) March 23, 2019
It's absolutely true nobody benefited more from the endless stream of Trump/Russia bullshit than MSNBC. It saved careers & that network. It generated huge ratings. It enabled them to sell best-selling books to deluded followers. It turned them into stars. It was a 2-year party: https://t.co/p0yNow55i6— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 23, 2019

No matter what happens with the Mueller report, all the media outlets, grifters and cold warriors that spent two years endlessly pushing the Trump-Russia collusion story should pat themselves on the back for making the world more dangerous for us all pic.twitter.com/BZSoyaodHN— Rania Khalek (@RaniaKhalek) March 23, 2019
Russiagate peddlers will hopefully be remembered for:— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) March 20, 2019
1) twisting & ignoring the available facts to fit their conspiracy theory
2) weakening an effective Resistance by prioritizing ⬆️
3) promoting the new Cold War & national security state
4) having once been taken seriously.
