    Convinced of their own righteousness, the Russia skeptics are conflating the speculative fantasy that Trump was a Russian asset with the entire field of journalism—while leaving out information that proves that the Russia story is anything but a hoax. http://bit.ly/2TA0yfL

        The only reason anyone cared about any of this was because of the possibility it would result in Trump no longer being president. This other stuff does not. The stuff mentioned in the article is only relevant because it hinted collusion might have happened. But it didn't

        If someone was accused of killing someone in a hit and run. A story that they were driving recklessly the weekend before might be newsworthy. But, if it turns out that person *didn't* kill someone in a hit and run, the story is completely unimportant.

        The Russia skeptics were right. After 22 months Mueller & his team didn't find enough evidence to prosecute for collusion. This other stuff is besides the point. Seems like people are trying to muddy the waters b/c they were wrong and/or hate to see Greenwald etc be proven right.

        "Everybody was in pain and scared about Trump winning, and so this idea of 'Well, Trump is actually a Kremlin conspirator and this Saint Robert Mueller is going to save the day and end our nightmare' is very comforting and very appealing." — Aaron Matéhttps://youtu.be/aLPFycyPnyQ

        Yes, that's what we need right now... thoughtful dissections of the handful of journalists who DIDN'T jump on the bandwagon of the militarists who gave us Trump and help start a new nuclear arms race.
