There comes a time in most poker games when the bluffing and trash talking is done, the high roller is called, and people show their cards to determine who won. Special council Robert Mueller appears to be nearing that point in his investigation of supposed Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
Trump supporters aren’t going to fold. Soon Mueller is going to have to reveal what, if anything he and his small pack of highly paid Democrat lawyers have found. Those who wish the President ill are hoping for a smoking gun, something that will bring an end to the two-year nightmare that Trump’s presidency has represented in their lives.
While not sharing those feelings I understand them. I felt much the same despair about the failed Obama presidency. It is likely, however, those hoping for Trump’s demise will be disappointed.
Political Washington DC is as leaky as a colander. If there were evidence of Trump colluding with Russians to do something more consequential than build a Trump Tower in Moscow, it would have long since leaked to the eagerly receptive legacy media. The fact that it has not leaked is near prima facie evidence of its imaginary nature.
