More Thoughts on the Mueller Opus

Literally no American was found to be knowingly colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 election. All of Mueller's indictments plus those of the New York federal prosecutor's office, aimed at U.S. citizens, have dealt with things other than collusion to influence the election.

Mueller indicted several Russians for interference in our elections. No one believes any of those will ever be tried as there is zero chance of extraditing them.

The only Americans who collaborated with Russians were employees of U.S. social media firms who accepted Russian political advertising buys or posted their opinion pieces. They claim to have done so unwittingly.

So ... from the get go the whole "Trump colluded with Russia" thing was pure bull crap or, if you prefer, a Democratic nocturnal emission. This is exactly what President Trump has claimed the whole time.

Trump wins. There are many sad Democrats tonight, and much Republican schadenfreude.
