We haven’t mentioned the Mueller witch hunt investigation much at Virtual Pulp because…
- we’ve been inundated with coverage of it 24-7 for years now.
- people with a functioning brain already had a pretty good idea what the purpose of the Special Council really was.
- people without a functioning brain don’t like this site, anyway.
Now the Democrat/Media Machine is scrambling to save face and find a way to convince their bovine constituency that being caught in a lie really proves they were right and valiant all along (global warming logic), and that Orange Man still bad. It’s not clear which Narrative Readjustment they’ll settle on yet, but a few of them you might observe floating around in left-wing echo chambers are:
- Although Mueller was unable to find and hanky-panky between Russia and the Trump Campaign, Trump is still guilty of collusion.
- Mueller did find evidence of collusion, and is hinting at it in code within the lengthy $30,000,000 op-ed called the Mueller Report.
- Alright, maybe Trump didn’t collude, but what really matters is that he obstructed justice regarding the crime he didn’t commit. They are just as vehement about the validity of this accusation as they were that Trump colluded.
- The Mueller Report is part of a big cover-up perpetrated by HAND PICKED Attorney General Barr, who is also an agent of Vladymir Putin.
Some interesting observations were made before the report was actually released.
For example, in filing false-statement charges against former Trump campaign adviser Papadopoulos in October 2017, Mueller’s team included a footnote that said emails obtained by the special counsel revealed that a Trump “campaign official suggested ‘low level’ staff should go to Russia.”
As the Senate Judiciary Committee pointed out in a secret letter to Mueller, the special counsel neglected to mention that the emails had been provided to it by the Trump campaign and they showed the campaign wanted someone “low level” to decline these types of invitations.
In other words, Mueller and his Democrat character assassins twisted and distorted facts in the report to imply obstruction. Low level Trump Campaign staffers were discouraged from accepting entreaties by Russians; but the report makes it sound like just the opposite occurred: that they were encouraged to cozy up to the Ruskies.
Papadopoulos said Rhee repeatedly threatened him, telling him he was “looking at 25 years in prison” if he didn’t cooperate with Mueller. Ultimately he pleaded guilty to making a false statement – he claimed he did not know that Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese academic who had told him the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, had connections to the Russian government when, in fact, he did. There are no reports he tried to track down the “dirt” or told anyone in the Trump campaign about Mifsud.
The Democrat/Media Machine, of which Mueller and his dirty cops are part, is habitually selective about what it reports. If it doesn’t support The Narrative, they omit it. If there are no facts that can be cherry-picked to prop up The Narrative, they’ll invent some, and/or distort existing facts.
Mueller charged the retired general with lying to FBI investigators about his conversation with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition, even though one of the investigators — noted Trump critic Peter Strzok — “had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying,” according to internal FBI documents uncovered by Flynn’s defense team.
In fact, former FBI Director James Comey has said Flynn provided truthful answers and wasn’t intentionally misleading investigators on Jan. 24, 2017, when he was questioned by Strzok and another agent.
Mueller omitted the exculpatory information from the charging documents he filed against Flynn.
They were desperate to find any kind of connection between Trump and Putin, no matter how tenuous and superficial. Most of the facts did not support the Collusion Narrative, and therefore had to be suppressed.
On page 7, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email Russian President Vladimir Putin’s office on Jan. 14, 2016, and again on Jan. 16, 2016. But Mueller omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails to a general press mailbox.
“It’s clear from personal messages he sent in 2015 and 2016 that the Trump Organization did not have formal lines of communication set up with Putin’s office or the Kremlin during the campaign,” one Hill investigator said. “There was no secret ‘back channel.’”
“So as far as collusion goes,” the source added, “the project is actually more exculpatory than incriminating for Trump and his campaign.”
Mueller, it has been noted, self-identifies as a “Republican.” You know: like John McCain, Jeff Flake, Paul Ryan, et al. He’s controlled opposition and an Establishment tool who wants to divert attention away from the “Justice” System’s double standard on display in their handling the Hillary “investigation” in contrast to what they did to President Trump. And that’s far from the only demonstration of the rigged system perpetrated by the Deep State Mueller is so invested in.
Former federal prosecutor and commentator Andrew McCarthy pointed out that Mueller knew he had no collusion case more than a year before the midterm elections, yet kept teasing collusion in court filings throughout the 2018 campaign.
…Exit polling shows that 49% of voters – nearly 1 in 2 – said they believed the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government during the 2016 election.
Purely coincidence, right? Otherwise, it sounds a lot like collusion.
