Last week, in the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis asked ex-campaign manager Robby Mook about the decision to share with a reporter a bogus story about Donald Trump and Russia's Alfa Bank.
A substantial portion of the population believed the accusations, and expected the story would end with Donald Trump in jail or at least indicted, scrolling for a thousand straight days in desperate expectation of the promised justice.
The impact on the population of these and other stories was awesome, defining the Trump presidency before it began.
We now know the initial public accusations that Trump "Colluded" came more or less entirely from the Clinton campaign, based on information that was not just unreliable but fraudulent.
MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle was still more deranged, declaring that Alfa's "Server was found in Trump Tower give me a break," as if a Russian server was literally discovered in Trump's bedroom.
Ol' saggy-face power-crapped on the Prague story in his long-awaited report, which also detailed at length how Alfa Bank chief Petr Aven was charged by Putin late in 2016 to find ways of "Getting in touch with the incoming Trump Administration." Mueller showed how Aven failed utterly at the task, rebuffed by Dmitri Simes by way of a businessman named Richard Burt.
Russiagate die-hards will wave their hands here and point to the Senate Intelligence Committee report of 2020 that concluded there was collusion based on the idea that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort gave "Sensitive internal polling data" to his former deputy Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the report bluntly says "Is a Russian intelligence officer." The Senate Committee could not say what their evidence was against Kilimnik, or what he supposedly did with that polling data, or why.
