We Should All Be Celebrating The Collapse Of Hillary’s Big Lie

Stick a fork in impeachment. It’s dead. Victory doesn’t get any sweeter for the winners. Or more important for our country. The results of the probe by special counsel Robert Mueller are a tremendous vindication for President Trump and the many millions of Americans who never doubted his innocence. 
The findings prove, once and for all time, that he won the 2016 election fair and square.[….] Yet Mueller, after conducting the most exhaustive test ever of election integrity, reached this stunning conclusion: 
“The Special Counsel did not find that any US person or Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly coordinated” with Russians “despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.” 
No American — not a single one — took the Russian bait. And that includes every member of the Trump campaign. That is a fact worthy of celebration, for it shows our democracy is strong and our institutions uncompromised. 
Other implications of the report’s findings are also enormous. We now know that Hillary Clinton and her supporters misled the country in claiming that the White House was stolen from her. 
She started the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax and her claims, aided by the Obama White House and magnified by a thoroughly partisan media, set in motion a wild-goose chase. 
The chase undermined a duly elected president and cost taxpayers more than $30 million for an investigation that proved the accusations were flat-out false. Yet money alone is hardly the full price. 
The probe itself was a giant cloud over the presidency. Trump’s cabinet, his family, his aides and every policy he put forth were viewed with suspicion by those who bought Clinton’s Big Lie. 
Many of those people shelled out thousands of dollars for legal bills merely to answer questions and prove themselves innocent of any wrongdoing. 
It is also a given that China, North Korea, Iran and, yes, Russia have factored into their relations with us the possibility that Trump might not be long for the Oval Office. 
We will never know exactly what price America paid for that possibility, but you can be certain it was high, and that the ramifications will not instantly disappear.
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

This political construct: the dossier, the peddling of it by a powerful U.S. Senator who was probably bitter about his own failed presidential run, the FISA court's abuse of official capacity, the interference of a compromised DOJ, the media complicity to issue a press corps indict without evidence - were not only an attack on a duly elected American President but an attack on the electorate who placed Donald Trump in office. May we all remember this as we go to the polls during the next presidential election cycle.

Can you say the word "landslide"?
