The Mueller Report is an unmitigated disaster for the American press and the ‘expert’ class that it promotes

The right claims that the report exonerates Trump fully, while the left contends there are lots of nuggets in the full text of the final report that may point to obstruction of justice, if not collusion.

Mueller should have filed his report on May 18, 2017-the day after the special counsel started and he learned the FBI had opened an investigation on the sitting president of the United States because senior officials at the world's premier law enforcement agency thought Trump was a Russian spy.

First, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's May 17, 2017, memo appointing the former FBI director to take supervision of the FBI's investigation of Trump.

Now, after all the Saturday Night Live skits, the obscenity-riddled Bill Maher and Stephen Colbert routines, the half a million news stories and tens of millions of tweets all foretelling the end of Trump, the comedians and the adult authority figures are exposed as hoaxsters, or worse, based on evidence that was always transparently phony.

Susan Hennessy is a former intelligence community lawyer, who appears as an expert on TV. And how about her colleague at the Lawfare blog, Benjamin Wittes, a Brookings Institution fellow and a personal friend of James Comey? You think he didn't have the inside dope, every time he posted a "Boom" GIF on Twitter predicting the final nail just about to be hammered in Trump's coffin?

As the Atlantic noted in a detailed reported piece posted hours after Shapiro's tweet, "The push for Trump to make such a move has been going on for more than a year, due to parallel efforts by Israeli officials and members of Congress."

Experts can say anything they like-the Saudis hacked Jeff Bezos' emails and photos of him and his girlfriend; Jamal Khashoggi was an American journalist; Jussie Smollett was nearly lynched by Trump supporters; Brett Kavanaugh was part of a rape gang, etc.
