Deroy Murdock: Mueller report quashes left's top excuse for Hillary's 2016 loss – Trump won fair and square
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
NEW YORK -- Breaking news:
Donald J. Trump won the presidency, fair and square.
He does not occupy the Oval Office due to an elaborate plot involving the KGB, the Kremlin, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, or the ghosts of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. Instead, he won the old-fashioned way: He followed the rules and out-foxed and out-worked Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton.
Hillary, in turn, appeared at only 63 rallies in the final 99 days of the 2016 general-election campaign (versus 132 for Trump), as Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft calculated. She addressed, on average, 1,734 people at each of these rallies (versus 7,297 for Trump). Hillary barely made it to Michigan and never managed to find Wisconsin on a map of the USA.
Trump triumphed. Hillary tanked. And the Democrats cannot blame Moscow for the fact that their queen wears no crown.
Democrats, accept this fact: The 2016 campaign is finally over. Clinton sank. And Trump soared — without Russia’s help. Your two-year-plus campaign of finger-pointing and excuse making is for naught. Get over it. Swallow the fact that your nominee squandered a race that she should have secured. And she blew it all on her own.
These are the inescapable conclusions of the combined FBI and Robert Mueller investigations. With the delivery of the special counsel’s report to Attorney General William Barr Friday afternoon, these back-to-back probes — as well as those of the House and Senate intelligence committees — have ended with neither indictments for nor evidence of the elaborate Russian-collusion conspiracy that Democrats have used as a gargantuan crutch to explain Hillary’s inexplicable loss to a Manhattan real-estate mogul in his maiden race for public office.
Believe it or not, this is exactly what happened.
Grasping desperately for any straw they can grab, some liberals now say that just because no new Mueller-based indictments are forthcoming, Trump still could be in trouble because Mueller might have followed Justice Department guidelines, left a sitting president unindicted, and yielded that duty to the House’s impeachment process.
Nice try.
This theory rests upon the notion that Trump and Russia conspired to steal the White House from the Duchess of Chappaqua, to whom it was bequeathed by royal writ, as everyone knows. So, this collective hallucination goes, Trump and Putin swiped the Oval Office without the involvement of any other U.S. person. Trump supposedly managed this enormous accomplishment with the assistance of Russians but without the knowledge or cooperation of anyone else on his campaign, in the Republican National Committee, or among GOP offices from Nevada to New Hampshire. This would be the only justification for Mueller leaving Trump uncharged (“Let the House do it!”) while issuing zero collusion indictments for any American non-president.
So, Democrats, accept this fact: The 2016 campaign is finally over. Clinton sank. And Trump soared — without Russia’s help. Your two-year-plus campaign of finger-pointing and excuse making is for naught. Get over it. Swallow the fact that your nominee squandered a race that she should have secured. And she blew it all on her own.
Democrats now should move on and help govern this nation. They should negotiate, compromise, and otherwise work with the legitimately and duly elected president of the United States: Donald J. Trump.
As for James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Adam Schiff, Peter Strzok, Maxine Waters, and their enablers in the left-wing media who nurtured the Russia! Russia! Russia! fantasy, they should hang their heads in shame for wasting nearly three years of America’s national life.
The left’s artificial crusade was a deadweight loss: A War on Leprechauns would have been a better use of America’s time.
Visualize how much more President Trump could have achieved without this manufactured cloud over his head. Imagine how much more the president could have focused on his Make America Great Again agenda without, essentially, a dozen people banging pots, crashing cymbals, and chanting, “Collusion! Collusion! Collusion!” as they encircled him at the Resolute Desk.
Democrats cannot blame Trump or “far-right, racist Republicans” for the Russia hoax’s final fizzle.
Trump never fired Mueller or hindered his probe. He left both alone.
Also, Mueller’s prosecutors were mainly hardcore, partisan Democrats. Among 17 publically identified members of Team Mueller, 14 are Democrats, 12 are Democratic donors, and two maxed to Hillary. Andrew Weissman attended Hillary’s Election Night party. Jeannie Rhee, was a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation. And Aaron Zebley represented Justin Cooper, Hillary’s aide who pulverized her mobile devices with a hammer. This evidence of severe political bias is appalling. However, it does offer this glistening-silver lining:
The lack of impending indictments strongly suggests that there was no Russian collusion, and this nearly three-year, three-ring circus was a holistic waste of time and money.
This decision did not emerge from a panel of Federalist Society attorneys nor legal experts at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia School of Law. Rather, this is the considered judgment of Deep State denizen Robert Mueller and the most partisan, pro-Clinton, hardcore-Democrat gang of attorneys ever mustered in one place.
If there’s any cabal that would have left no stone unthrown to neutralize Donald J. Trump, this was it. And the best they could do about Russian collusion was to reach this conclusion:
Never mind!

Words cannot express the utter and complete stupidity of this seeded article.
It is KNOWN that 'Moscow' interfered in the election. Mueller's decision today does not change that fact. The idea that the Mueller report proves that Trump won fair and square is squirrelly on the face of it. In June of 2016 Trump knew that the Russians had offered to help him. He certainly still knew that when the stolen emails began to be released.
What the Russians did had nothing to do with Trump or his campaign. The RNC computers were attacked as well but had sufficient firewalls to protect their content. The DNC and Hillary did not. Trump won and Hillary lost fair and square. It’s time to accept it and move on, and to accept the normalization of the Trump Presidency.
I don't know why I waste my time. What Clinton did or did not do has nothing to do with whether or not Russia effected the election. That is like 3rd grade level logic. KAG.
When the stolen (by Russia) Podesta emails came out Clinton had a big lead. Afterwards she did not.
Also, the Podesta emails were released on the same day of Trump's pussy grabbing video, which muted the effect of the grab em by the pussy tape.
It didnt take many votes influenced by Russian meddling to effect the election. Trump won by very small amounts in a number of key states. It is highly believable that the votes Clinton lost due to the emails could have been the difference.
Stop babbling to me, please. I dont make pestering comments to you, do I?
Good points. You are of course right. Today was a great day for America. It’s time to move on.
Indeed and they are exactly that. It will be easy to not be sorry for them and to relish their TDS afflictions the next 5 3/4 years or so.
One can get whiplash from the excuses.
Too bad the facts say otherwise John. Her lead was 4.1 points on the day the Podesta emails were released. Two weeks later it was 7 points.
There is no proof that the Russians changed anyone’s vote.
Having reached 120 million Americans, are you really seriously claiming that you don't think a single one of those fake Facebook ads or some Russian created anti-Hillary rumor started by Russians who intended to help Donald Trump win the election never changed a single Americans vote?
You're saying that the Russians are SO STUPID they foolishly wasted the $1.25 million a month they spent on fake ads and Hillary media smear campaigns?
And you also believe that the illegally stolen and released DNC emails didn't change a single voters mind, none of the DNC shenanigans revealed played any part in the election?
There may be no video evidence of my parents ever having sex, but that certainly isn't "proof" they never did it. I am the living proof of their actions as is the 2016 election result the evidence born of Russian meddling. They did it, and it effected the results, anyone who believes differently is intentionally lying to themselves for purely partisan reasons.
Putin owns Trump. Must be something serious. Putin specializes in blackmail.
Why do you keep saying things that aren't true? Their spending was a tiny fraction of that.
"Those involved spent some $1.25 million per month on ad campaigns and measured their efforts much as an ad agency would, according to the indictment. It says the group kept track of metrics like views and comments, and measured engagement."
"One fake account, @TEN_GOP account, attracted more than 100,000 online followers."
"Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this article's headline said Russia allegedly spent $1.25 million on ads to influence U.S. politics. The figure is $1.25 million per month ."
"Russian agents intending to sow discord among American citizens disseminated inflammatory posts that reached 126 million users on Facebook , published more than 131,000 messages on Twitter and uploaded over 1,000 videos to Google’s YouTube service, according to copies of prepared remarks from the companies that were obtained by The New York Times."
I said it because it is true no matter how much some sycophants wish it weren't. Russia meddled, it effected the election and the complete incompetent won a narrow electoral victory but was not elected by a majority of Americans. The majority have never wanted anything to do with such a worthless gold painted narcissist or his greasy bareback riding buddy Putin.
So, all of the years of anti-Hillary propaganda had no effect? The Heartland Institute spent millions over the years trashing Hillary. They were right to fear her.
Really? Here they are. Prove that they spent millions trashing Hillary.
Because a minority of people hated her in just the right areas which we know were specifically targeted by disguised Russian propaganda, Trump was able to win the electoral college but not the majority of Americans who continue to see him for what he is, a complete and utter disgrace to the office of President.
"At any rate, the investigation is over and the left can't do anything about it."
We get it, conservative Republicans have been giving the "Nanny nanny boo boo!" childish response after being confronted by the reality of Russian interference for quite some time now. You would think they'd be smart enough to realize that if the shoe is ever on the other foot they're going to be screaming bloody murder.
"It's fun watching the angry liberals continuing to go berserk."
Please do tell us about all the joy and glee you feel when you watch fellow American citizens become frustrated or embarrassed by Trumps incompetence. The vitriol expressed by many conservative republicans towards their fellow American citizens knows no equal.
Putin hated Hillary because a woman stood up to him. Putin hates uppity women and spent millions to vilify Hillary. Many here are Putin stooges.
Of course Russia interfered with the election. Every single major country interferes with elections in other countries; because they want to have someone they have leverage over to get the best deals for THEIR country or themselves. For instance, Barack Obama's campaign personnel worked with the Netanyahu opposition in Israel, that is clear interference by Obama's people with Israel's elections.
The only thing that the Podesta emails did was expose the Democrat fixing of their primaries to guarantee a Clinton victory over Sanders. It wasn't the emails that caused Hillary to tank, it was the DNC's behavior regarding Sanders and free and fair elections that caused Hillary to tank.
Pretty sure that Sanders was not a democrat. The spoiler deserved no democratic support.
He was running as a Democrat party member at the time of the primaries. It doesn't matter if he usually was a Democrat or not, when you register for an election, you register for the party(ies) that you are interested in running as a member of. Heck, my local Representative a couple years back ran as both a Democrat and a Republican.
Not even sure what I am anymore. I was a whole lot surer of things in my misspent youth.
You are you. And, you should be aiming to be the best you possible even when you are 120 years old.
Now in my late 60s and am not sure I want to live to be 120.
So the lack of a party label or the big D after the name is more important to you than his ideas?
Pretty sure this independent will be voting (D) seeing what the right wing has now become. Used to study and vote my conscience. It is now "us against them". Thanks to Fox and Murdoch everything is now polarized. Thankfully, I own an AR-15 so the "other" won't find me an easy mark. /s (maybe)
This seed title is a lie. Russia DID HELP ELECT TRUMP AND IS STILL TRYING TO PROTECT HIM.
None of this matters anymore. Any politician at any time in history would have been 'taken down' by the 'Access Hollywood' tape but not the Trump. Instead, his poll numbers accelerated. Perhaps the Rev. Rick Wiles was correct when he surmised that, "Trump was sent by gawd to save us." If this be the case, the Omarosa was more correct than she ever thought when she stated that, "You will bow and kneel."
Lock and load?
Bikers for Trump and the Sovereign Citizens crowd are already locked and loaded.
You will bow the knee and kneel prostrate in worship of your master, Donald Trump.
( It ) is not smoking anything. The Russians are serious. The Trump even gave them and the Chinese an opening in S. America. Militarily and economically. US influence is waning and our prestige is...……….weakening.
America is under siege. And some of it is being aided by us. "We have met the enemy and he is us." POGO
That is it...…..isn't it?
Yes, worship him, you will!
And democrats are focusing on Russia while ignoring their masters in Peking. Trump is confronting both of them as needed to keep America Great and first.
No, it wouldn't have. Bill Clinton had the equivalent of the 'Access Hollywood' tape with Monica's Blue Dress and its semen stains. And, at the time, Bill was in a position of power over her as she was an intern and he was President of the United States. He was impeached and survived and that lead to Trump not being hit hard by the 'Access Hollywood' tape.
Interesting observations. So it all goes downhill from here?
Let’s just say that we will not be wishing them a speedy recovery from their self induced crash and burn.
You are so funny Wally, do you intend to be
You obviously are unaware of Ken Starr's investigations. The origins of those investigations, where they ended up and why.
Trump is blessed that the investigations into him were centered on only one item.
An aside. President Clinton was forced to have his penis photographed for evidence. Imagine the court demanding Trump have his penis examined to corroborate a description testified to under oath by Karen McDougal, Stephanie Clifford or another person? So, you can see that 'sexual matters' were off limits for Trump because....assumption would be that Russia had no hand in those matters.
The Mueller investigation was much cleaner, more to the point and definitely not an investigation searching for a crime, but rather an investigation inquiring as to whether a crime was committed with the evidence at hand.
The truth is funny? Only on the left.
It wouldn't matter how much Putin wanted revenge on Hillary (for interfering with a Russian "election"). The Russian input on social media pales in contrast to the liberal media's full scale assault on candidate Trump and the Clinton campaign's use of the Steele Dossier. Even with all that influence over the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton was still soundly & legitimately defeated.
And that is the bottom line here!
Wow what's in that pipe of your's
We call it the truth.
