The end of the collusion fantasy

 We're not seeing this because the loudest of President Trump's detractors - especially in the press - are radicals, not liberals, and they're quite willing to endure existential chaos if that's the price for Trump's removal.

Night after night, they imagined the deepest trouble for Trump, breathless in anticipation of the report that would surely result in criminal indictments of the worst sort.

The "Prestige" papers were boiling over with hype about Trump's malignant contacts with Russians attempting to undermine the American electoral process.

Time magazine inflated Mueller into a goddess, saying: "It goes back to the Greeks, who understood that the peril of kings was hubris, and that hubris was an invitation to the avenging goddess called Nemesis. In Robert Mueller, Trump may have found his." Liberals even made Catholic-inspired prayer candles with Mueller's face on them.

Here they'd mocked Trump endlessly for declaring there was no collusion - and damned if that wasn't the case all along.

The big question is: Why did the media spend two years endlessly speculating that Trump was toast? How could they justify the "Reality" that Trump deserved 90 percent negative coverage of a fantasy of Russian collusion when their expected finale never emerged? If they expected America to believe that Mueller's team never leaked to the press, then why were they so cocky about taking him down?

They didn't spend hours wondering what it would mean if Trump were to be cleared.
