But... they are right. Russia already set Trump up to win by drawing Biden into a quagmire in the Ukraine he didn't have the wisdom to lead us and them to avoid, and he will lose in part because of it.

Every time I hear Russia interference I think it’s really CIA influence. The agency needs to be dismantled and new, more accountable one put in its place.

This is what happens when you don't put Bob Mueller in prison after he acted as front man for the greatest hoax in the history of American politics.

Given what we now know about how bound and determined the anti-Trump forces in this dramatis personae were, I'm not sure we should be sure that Mueller didn't actually save us from them doing much, much worse things than what happened.

I can't think of much worse than the world's 2 largest nuclear powers being more or less permanently unable to conduct normal diplomatic relations.

Trump and Putin had a summit in month 15 of 24 of the Russiagate silliness and the silliness ended shortly thereafter. So clearly not responsible for a major degradation.

However, Mueller was about the only person involved unwilling to push forward an obstruction charge and because he waa top man, it didnt move forward.

The people who should go to jail are McCabe, Strzok and the like. The people who should be jobless include the top people who worked for Mueller and pushed hard for stupid moves.

The United States is literally waging an undeclared war on Russia on behalf of a corrupt post-Soviet dictatorship. The world's very survival at any given moment depends on the patience and prudence of Vladmir Putin, a 72 year old boomer. Forgive me for not having sanguine regarding the state of Russo-US relationship. And far from ending the silliness was revived in 2020 to censor the Biden laptop. God knows what the Deep State is planning for this year.

Now I am sure that Mueller did spare us more pain. Looks like in 2020, Andrew Weissman, Mueller's top lieutenant, came out with a tell all book and claimed they all wanted to do more but Mueller cut them off. In his words Mueller was afraid of Trump. In Mueller's words in response, his decisions like not forcing Trump to do an in person deposition were simply following the law and the evidence.

There was a sinister group led by Weissman out there and Mueller capped their worst instincts. Read coverage of Weissman's book if you doubt this.

No. Read Lee Smith's Plot Against the President. Giuliani flatly td Mueller in their first meeting that he would not be interviewing President Trump.
