a dirty ing hippie from The Nation throws cold water on the Mueller investigation, echoing various Dennisonistas on this board:

Whether the troll farm’s indictment is make-believe or not, Mueller has yet to indict anyone—let alone any Russian—for Russiagate’s underlying crime: the theft of Democratic Party e-mails. And more than a year after they accused the Russian government of carrying it out, intelligence officials have yet to produce a shred of proof.

The January 2017 intelligence report begat an endless cycle of innuendo and unverified claims, inculcating the public with fears of a massive Russian interference operation and su ions of the Trump campaign’s complicity. The evidence to date casts doubt on the merits of this national preoccupation, and with it, the judgment of the intelligence, political, and media figures who have elevated it to such prominence.

Amazing. Nation must allow this for editorial "balance", but of course, this nothing-to-see-here BULL doesn't balance the huge pile of incriminating the Mueller has.

That Mueller hasn't indicted any biggies (Flynn is damn big and was very close to Trash, (who kept contacting Flynn after Flynn was fired, was a Trash favorite) and who was very close with Russians) means that he can't, that he won't?

Two new Trump campaign operatives just had their secret meetings with Russian Ambassador exposed

The parallels between Russian interference in the 2016 U.S presidential election and in the Brexit campaign for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union are uncanny

and raising su ions that Russia’s cyberwar on the members of the NATO alliance was more widespread and effective than anyone has yet to admit.

two major British political operatives involved in the pro-Brexit campaign were in regular contact with the Russian ambassador to the UK while they campaigned for, and met with, Donald Trump in the United States in 2016, according to a review of emails and social media posts.

Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore

were both heavily involved in the successful effort to get Britons to vote to leave the EU,

with Banks donating more than 8 million pounds (nearly $11 million) to the pro-Brexit campaign.

That donation is now being investigated by Britain’s Electoral Commission amid concerns of Russian involvement.

Once the Brexit vote was won, the two men traveled to the U.S. where they attended several Trump rallies and the final pre-election presidential debate, at least once along with Nigel Farage from the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), a leading pro-Brexit politician.

After the election, Banks and Wigmore met with Trump at Trump Tower during the transition phase.

Throughout this entire period,

the two men kept in steady contact with the Russian ambassador in London.

CNN reviewed emails that show dozens of correspondences between the Russian embassy officials and the two men, including lunch and embassy event invitations.

Trump’s White House Counsel just made a startling admission about the Russia probe

A former Trump White House Counsel just revealed a significant fact about the precarious situation that both the President and his lawyers stand in as subjects of a criminal investigation.

It turns out that

White House Counsel Don McGahn took an unusual step to separate himself and his entire office from the Russia probe.

That, in turn, explains why President Trump isn’t on speaking terms with McGahn, who is still a high ranking official.

The White House Counsel’s office’s recusal is a significant new sign of the scope and seriousness of Mueller’s investigation into the firing of FBI Director James Comey and attempts to influence the Special Counsel and Congressional investigations by all of Trump’s “best people.”

Hmmm reminds me of that time my guhhhh Louise Mensch said Rosenstein was ordered to write two memos. One for the pros for Comey. One for the negatives.
