The outcome is no surprise to those who scrutinized the facts as they emerged. Time and again, the available evidence undermined the case for such a conspiracy. None of the characters presented to us as Russian "agents" or Trump-Kremlin "intermediaries" were shown to be anything of the sort. None of the lies that Trump aides or allies were caught telling pointed us toward the collusion that members of the media and political figures insisted they were hiding. None of the various pillars of Russiagate-the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting; the fanciful assertions of the Steele dossier; the anonymously sourced media claims, such as Trump campaign members' having "repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials"-ever led us to damning evidence. And all of that is likely why Mueller never charged anyone with involvement in (or covering up) a Trump-Russia conspiracy.
Comment: The collapse of the Russiagate narrative should serve as a reckoning, but it won't... at least not for the driving force of 'the resistance'. Remember, the same was said about the fake news campaign of 2016 leading up to the presidential elections. Things have only become worse and it appears this trend will continue on all accounts. That said, collapsing narratives are growing by the day, and the modern 'progressive' agenda is growing quite sick with exposure.
