Now That The Russian Collusion Narrative Is Deflating, The Left Is Shifting Goalposts

  1. From neocons who fled the Soviet Union and have an instinctive aversion to anything Russian, to British grifters and failed politicians, to PR agents of Georgian and Ukrainian government masquerading as information warfare experts, to social science academics looking to make a quick buck monetizing this hysteria, everyone sold the same narrative.
  2. NPR’s essay on Russia collusion being unproven was a surprise: “Prosecutors say that [Paul] Manafort shouldn't get any consideration for the information he has given the feds because he has been lying to them; Manafort's lawyers say he gave the government valuable information.
  3. Ever since Trump won the election, there has been a sustained assertion in liberal sophisticate circles about active collusion between his campaign and the Russian FSB.
  4. That Cohen was indicted for lying about a failed deal, but not for testifying that he never witnessed any form of Russian collusion, should raise doubts that he has given Mueller anything on collusion.
