Mueller Madness: The media pundits who got it most wrong

 Special counsel Robert Mueller has definitively put to rest the collusion theory of President Trump's election.

In the Print category, the top seed is the never-Trump honcho Bill Kristol, who in August predicted that "Mueller will find there was collusion between Trump associates and Putin operatives; that Trump knew about it; and that Trump sought to cover it up and obstruct its investigation." Or not.

Kristol is closely followed by The Washington Post's Max Boot, who in July wrote, "President Trump's mantra is 'no collusion,' something he says as if sheer, mind-numbing repetition can make it true." The Mueller probe reached precisely that conclusion - no collusion - and if anyone was wish-casting, it was Boot.

In the Cable category, our top seed is MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, in recognition of her seemingly interminable rants about the Kremlin not only electing Trump - with Trumpian "Collusion," of course - but practically running the US government.

The Brookings Institution fellow basked in the media glow that attended his Twitter predictions of Trump's toppling.

In July 2017, he tweeted that when senior Democrats say, "There is evidence of both collusion and obstruction, you can take that to the bank. Trump beware!" But Tribes' collusion checks bounced.

Baldwin's cringey impersonations of a clueless, jail-bound Trump revived his battered career and kept hope alive for liberals and Trump haters across the land.
