The attacks from elite media and foreign governments will not stop
because the charges of collusion with the Russian government have so far
come up empty. Robert Mueller has identified Russians who will never
face charges in an American court as the colluders but hasn’t connected
them with any Trump campaign or administration officials. Associates
like Paul Manafort are guilty of being common criminals and former
lawyer Michael Cohen paid off women who had relationships with Trump.
George Papadopoulos, said to be a lynchpin in the Russiagate
investigation, was sentenced to just 14 days in jail for lying to
federal agents about having met non-Russians. A Russian woman is charged
with the minor offense of failing to register as a foreign agent and
yet is being held without bail. The lack of smoking gun
verdicts means that Mueller must always muddy the water with phony
revelations. If not, independent assessments may emerge and ruin the
trope that evil Trump and evil Putin are in league together.
