The Left has shown that the collusion exoneration last year by the heralded Robert Mueller investigation—all 22-months, the “dream team,” and $34 million of it—meant absolutely nothing.
Nor did it matter that Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz found no justification of “collusion” in the Steele dossier to justify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants it issued to spy on Carter Page.
Both the Mueller and Horowitz investigations confirmed that even the partisan and warped FBI “Crossfire Hurricane” intrigues could find no Russian-Trump collusion.
And yet the House impeachment managers cannot finish a sentence without exclaiming “Russian collusion,” as if it has now transmogrified into some exotic foundational myth.
Remember, no sooner had Mueller found no collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Kremlin and no actionable obstruction than the progressives narrative was recalibrated into Ukrainian quid pro quo—albeit after brief detours in “Recession!” and “Racism!”

Not a comment on the article, but my view of the Cain Mutiny. "...crazy Captain Queeg" was not "crazy" at all. Just too certain that his 'status' as Captain of the ship (rank was only Commander) would assure him of a friendly court. He could have pivoted and admitted that his crew saved his ship. That seems to be one of the most prevalent marks of a good commander...thanking their crew for saving their butts! All the trial really showed was that, under pressure, Queeg locked up mentally, and broke rather than bend. Otherwise there would be no story.
