The Mueller report has finally dropped and instead of being relieved to discover, once and for all, that the president didn't collude with a foreign power to steal an election, Democrats and media pundits are utterly devastated.
Of course, their high expectations for the report had already come crashing down when Mueller wrapped up his investigation mid-March and Attorney General Bob Barr sent a four-page letter summarizing its anti-climactic findings to Congress.
In the earliest days of the two-year investigation, Special Counsel Robert Mueller was given savior status; he would be the one, they said, who would deliver them from the evil of the Trump presidency.
"Wait for the Mueller report!" quickly morphed into "Barr must be lying - wait for the full Mueller report!".
Russiagaters masked their disappointment by trying, in endless formations, to spin the situation into a vindication of their theories; 'Barr is lying for Trump!' 'Maybe Mueller was in on it?' 'He didn't investigate the right things!' 'It wasn't about collusion, it was about obstruction!' - and the most pathetic of all attempts: 'It doesn't matter anyway, we know in our hearts collusion is real!'.
Journalist Aaron Mate, who has painstakingly covered the Russiagate drama, noted on Twitter that Mueller at times used "Suggestive wording" in his report while simultaneously acknowledging that no evidence of collusion actually exists.
The cries of "Collusion!" will continue for months, if not years, and the media will meticulously pick apart the pages of the Mueller report for weeks, hoping to land on something that can credibly carry the conspiracy forward - and as they do so, they will be handing Trump a great gift going into the 2020 election.
