Where is the follow up? From anyone, at all, about any of this? The Russian Collusion hoax has fallen apart more and more everyday. And we haven’t heard a word of comment from any of the people responsible for pushing it and helping fracture this country.

If you aren’t outraged by all this, and the clear coordination across multiple organs of the US government, I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know how to convince you to care that the POTUS has been undermined for four years by a malicious lie from his political opponents.

I’ve said this before and I’ll have to say it again: you don’t need to be a fan of Trump to be outraged about the Russian collusion conspiracy. But it’s a mark against your patriotism, your judgement, or your intellect if you aren’t.

Also, I’ve said this before, too, but beyond just being perhaps the most defining political scandal of our time, the Russian collusion hoax gets under my skin because I bought it. I fell for it. And I’m enormously angry for having been duped.

And for my friends on the other side of the aisle and in mainstream media: I beg you, pay attention to this. Treat this scandal with the same kind of anger you had at the (purported) collusion.

Imagine how you would feel if a duly elected Democrat - say, Hillary Clinton - had won an election and then you saw your opponents and the media denigrate her for four years over allegations that never stuck. How mad would you be?

That’s precisely how mad millions of Americans who think differently than you do feel right now. And you’ve given them a lot of reasons for anger. Try to empathize with that. Try to get to the truth.
