The announcement late Friday afternoon that special counsel Robert Mueller had completed his investigation and Attorney General William Barr's four-page letter released Sunday made it clear: "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
Mueller's conclusion, Taibbi writes, "Is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media." In exhaustive detail he lays out how major news organizations repeatedly and unrepentantly "Broke every written and unwritten rule in pursuit of this story, starting with the prohibition on reporting things we can't confirm."
If much of it seemed far-fetched, Steele's employer, FusionGPS founder Glenn Simpson, said Steele could judge the credibility of Russians from afar.
Steele recently confessed that he relied on comments by "Random individuals" on CNN's website, which are not verified by the network.
Some Democrats are now eager to fine-toothed comb Mueller's full report for evidence against the Trump campaign and to emphasize Russia's undisputed shenanigans.
Put aside the dog-eared copies of the Steele dossier and safely dispose of the Robert Mueller votive candles.
The government officials who promoted Collusiongate should not get off so easily.
