It’s official: Russiagate is this generation’s WMD | Matt Taibbi

"Mueller is coming"  Right, he came, he saw, he didn't condemn

Everybody is talking about this post, so I'd better make sure it's bookmarked.

It's by Matt Taibbi, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine.  That's to say, a leftie, writing for a very leftie magazine....  but a leftie not afflicted with TDS.
I'd never heard of Taibbi, TBF, but his (long) piece is quite a revelation.  That the Steele Dossier, such an important part of this whole Russigate thing,  source of FISA warrents, was made up of whole cloth. The "pee tapes" a figment of Steele's fetid imagination, based on some Los Angeles underground acts, filtered via unverified CIA sites.  The mind boggles.
Yet so many on the Left bought all of this, some genuinely, some just because it was good fodder to clobber the hated Trump.
There are some wonderful compilations, which I must get to, of statements of some of these folks, certain, absolutely certain, that the evidence was there, was solid, was irrefutable, that all were "bombshells".  How can they get away with this?? Calling the Commander in Chief a traitor, a crook?
It's just too much. Too horrible.
Yet they're already, on the Left, on CNN and MSNBC, doubling down and saying what a wonderful job they did, and now starting to suggest another conspiracy by Mueller....

Here's how Taibbi begins his article:

Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media.

Read on.... 

One clear example of the Trump Derangement Syndrome:  a Time magazine cover of May 2017.  So deep in TDS that they thought the Kremlin was running the White House.  In reality, Trump has been tougher on Russia than ever Obama was.  Arms to Ukraine against Russia; trying to halt the Russian gas pipeline; kicking out 48 Russian spies from the US; tightening sanctions on Russian oligarchs; strengthening NATO against Russia.....  Yet somehow he's Putin's Puppet??
