George Neumayr: The Steele Dossier: Pure Democratic Farce

So for--what? two years?--all we heard about was Russian collusion! Russian asset! Russia, Russia, Russia!

   Democrats swallowed the obviously-fake Steele Dosseir hook, line and sinker. The MSM could talk of nothing else. When Mueller admitted there was no there there, they briefly floated a The-Rooskies-Got-Muller-Too trial balloon. Then they switched to: Well, he wasn't exonerated! Muller just said he couldn't find anything! That doesn't mean no collusion! That is: they decided it would be better to reject the foundational principle Innocent Until Proven Guilty than to admit that Trump was the former. 

   I knew people who for months or years could talk of nothing else. Until it turned out that Trump was--as an objective observer could already see--innocent. Then the excuse-making and ad-hoc-hypothesis-formulating began. Now, several years on and long after it's become clear that, in fact, "Trump's Russian collusion" was a massive Democrat-MSM-Deep-State conspiracy--an actual, realio, trulio conspiracy--many or most on the left seem oblivious. A combination of MSM silence and lies...and political correctness...allow them to be ignorant of / ignore the fact that they were wrong about the plain and obvious facts of perhaps the greatest political scandal in American history.

   It's that latter, really, that may be more a matter of concern: we now clearly see the important facts of what happened in Russiagategate. Trump is gone. It's a relatively cool hour. It is crucial that we admit the truth. But the Dems still can't bring themselves to do it. That'd be one thing if the MSM had an ounce of damn integrity. But it doesn't. It's a hard-left propaganda apparatus at this point. What's worse than a whole party/faction losing its mind about Russian collusion for two years? I'd say: not even being able to admit that's what happened. 

But here we are.
