By Daniel Greenfield, 4/20/19.
After 22 months and $32 million, a team
of 19 prosecutors with twice as many staff members, wielding 2,800 subpoenas,
500 witnesses, and 500 search warrants, produced nothing multiplied by zero. Nothing
except over 400 pages of allegations, innuendo and slime with a great big hole
in the center.
Mueller and his intrepid team of
Democrats had set out to investigate a great conspiracy. After all those
millions of dollars, the raids and indictments, there’s no collusion. The
supposed counterintelligence investigation turned up nothing on President Trump
except his hostility to the witch hunt against him.
If firing an FBI director is a crime,
then Bill Clinton should have been impeached or imprisoned. But if a former FBI
director can treat the firing of an FBI director by the president as a crime,
then is the country really run by the presidents and the voters who elect them,
or by the FBI directors?
Mueller and his Democrats
painstakingly document Trump’s dislike of their efforts. And then they imply
that there is something criminal about an innocent man trying to fight back
against a witch hunt. If you don’t defend yourself, it’s perjury. If you do
defend yourself, then it’s obstruction of justice. Heads I win, tails you lose.
President Trump had the right to fire
Comey. He had the right to find an AG who would give Mueller the boot. And the
Mueller report, with its swill of unsubstantiated innuendo, is the best
evidence of that.
The fact that Mueller and his people
were allowed to finish the spiteful 400+ page contribution to the Democrat 2020
campaign and that it was then made public, is the best evidence of Trump’s
intentions. Mueller wasn’t fired. The report wasn’t buried. And it doesn’t
indict Trump. It indicts the Russia hoaxers.
President Trump would be well within
his rights to send the DNC a $32 million bill for it. American taxpayers should
not be on the hook for funding Democrat opposition research. That’s what George
Soros, Pierre Omidyar, and Tom Steyer are for. The Mueller investigation was
the last refuge of efforts by Democrat operatives to target Trump using the
government. After losing the White House, they resorted to a special
prosecutor. And after Mueller, the investigation will be run out of the House. But
what, after all these years, all the millions of dollars, the hundreds of
witnesses and search warrants, the countless lunches, subpoenas, and media
leaks, is there left to investigate?
The Mueller report is a dog chasing
its tail. In a fitting end to an investigation, whose momentum of indictments
was built mostly on perjury traps, of indicting people for lying to the FBI,
without there actually being a crime that they were lying about, the Mueller
report’s best shot at President Trump depends on implying that he obstructed
its investigation. But how can an investigation that never even comes close to
a crime be obstructed?
The Mueller investigation was often
described as a fishing expedition. After nearly 2 years fishing in the D.C.
swamp with the world’s biggest fishing pole, the 59 fishermen and fisherwomen
discovered that there were no fish. Certainly not the big fish that the partner
at one of the most lefty law firms had hoped to land. The Mueller report is a
400+ page excuse for wasting the time, money and nerves of hundreds of millions
of people in a nakedly partisan campaign to undermine a sitting president.
The Mueller report, like every
previous incarnation dating back to the Obama era, dangerously conflates a
counterintelligence investigation of Russia, with an investigation of the
Republican opposition. It follows in the footsteps of the Clinton campaign’s
Steele dossier, right down to a search for the ‘pee tape’ that never existed
outside the perverted fantasies of Clintonworld and its creepy power couple. It
should never have existed. And the only item meriting an investigation is that
very investigation.
The Obama administration spied on
Trump allies under the pretext of counterintelligence. Mueller and his team of
Obama and Clinton supporters went after Trump and his allies under the same
pretext. After years of investigations, eavesdropping, raids, leaks, violations
of lawyer-client confidentiality, the Mueller report has no choice but to
concede that one of the most intensive investigations in the country has failed
to make the case for the entire premise of the witch hunt that has been going
on for years. And that should be the real story.
Instead, the media declares that the
Mueller report fails to exonerate President Trump. In America, you’re innocent
until proven guilty. In the media, if you’re a Republican, you’re always
guilty. And in Muellerworld, no one is truly innocent, they just haven’t been
subjected to enough raids, wiretaps, misleading questions, indictments, threats
and flashlights in their eyes, to confess to the right thing.
The Mueller report, like its
predecessors, was never meant to find definitive evidence of guilt because it
never existed. Collusion could never be proven, only sleazily implied. The
purpose of the investigation was the investigation. The original collaboration
between the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign to target Trump,
turned into the Mueller investigation, and now that the report is in, will be
reborn as a House Democrat campaign, championed by Rep. Nadler, to go after
President Trump.
Each phase of the investigation
never turned up a smoking gun, but its existence maintained the justification
for actual or potential action against Trump and his political allies. And so
the investigation isn’t over. It can’t end. Instead, it gets passed along from
campaign operatives to DOJ personnel, from former spooks to current spooks,
from FBI directors to retired FBI directors, from disgraced prosecutors to
disgraced congressmen, not for the purpose of fighting the Russians, but of
fighting Americans.
The dangerous precedent of accusing
political opponents of working for foreign governments extends far beyond Trump
or this current phase of the investigation. It strikes at the very heart of
America.
During the Bush years, a million
lefty cars were proudly stamped with bumper stickers reading, “Dissent is the
Highest Form of Patriotism”. The Mueller investigation is only the latest
example of the criminalizing of political dissent with normal presidential
campaign behavior such as opposition research, and backchannels to foreign
governments, being targeted by intelligence agencies. The only people who have
paid a price for this travesty have been Trump allies and taxpayers. And that ought to
change.
The Mueller report is indeed an
indictment, not of Trump, and not only of its investigation, but of the entire
Russiagate smear. Democrat conspiracy theorists will not allow their lie to
die. They will dig it up and keep it alive in any branch of government they
control. And, as the Mueller investigation shows, even in some that they do
not. The only way to end the smear is to investigate the investigation.
22 month, millions of dollars, 2,800 subpoenas,
500 witnesses, and 500 search warrants, amounting to nothing won’t end the
lies, the smears, the investigations and the accusations.
The lie will not die until its authors,
its perpetrators and its accomplices are investigated and exposed. And until
then, Democrats, not taxpayers, should be forced to pay for the cost of their Russiagate
hoax.
