The Left has shown that the collusion exoneration last year by the heralded Robert Mueller investigation\u2014all 22-months, the \u201cdream team,\u201d and $34 million of it\u2014meant absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor did it matter that Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz found no justification of \u201ccollusion\u201d in the Steele dossier to justify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants it issued to spy on Carter Page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Mueller and Horowitz investigations confirmed that even the partisan and warped FBI \u201cCrossfire Hurricane\u201d intrigues could find no Russian-Trump collusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet the House impeachment managers cannot finish a sentence without exclaiming \u201cRussian collusion,\u201d as if it has now transmogrified into some exotic foundational myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, no sooner had Mueller found no collusion between Trump\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign and the Kremlin and no actionable obstruction than the progressives narrative was recalibrated into Ukrainian quid pro quo<\/em>\u2014albeit after brief detours in \u201cRecession!\u201d and \u201cRacism!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
