A Complete Win for President Trump: AG William Barr Summary of Mueller Witch Hunt: No Russian Collusion, No Obstruction, No Conspiracy — A Two-Year Nothingburger
The End of the Collusion Delusion
By Brian Cates
And so the Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation ends with a whimper and not a bang.
When it was announced late Friday afternoon on March 22 that Attorney General William Barr had sent a letter to Congress revealing he had received the Special Counsel’s final report, shockwaves reverberated throughout Washington.
Despite the clear signs and statements in recent weeks—by those in the best positions to know—many in the news media had simply refused to believe Mueller’s investigation was near its end. The announced departures of key prosecutors and investigators, coupled with statements from both former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and from Barr himself, meant the handwriting was clearly on the wall despite the desperate refusal of some to read it.
I actually had to write a column stating that Whitaker should get a well-deserved apology from all those who called his competency or his honesty into question after he announced at an official DOJ press conference in January that he had been fully briefed on the status of the Special Counsel investigation and that Mueller’s probe was near its end.
Abject denial of facts is never a good look for those in the news business, but there’s been no shortage of it recently across the political spectrum. I spent the last few weeks watching and reading people on both sides of the national media, both anti- and pro-Trump, who seemed to desperately want Mueller to keep going, and therefore simply rejected what they were seeing and hearing since it did not fit the narrative they had so heavily invested themselves in over the past two years.
For months many news outlets and media personalities on both sides of the political divide had repeatedly assured all those listening to them that:
-
The Mueller investigation was far from finished; it could, in fact, go on past the 2020 Presidential election.
-
The Special Counsel would soon unseal new indictments of people such as Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner, and several others.
Many in the Right-leaning media are just as ratings driven as the Left-leaning media. What was going to get these media people the ratings and the web-page views they crave? Spending the past few weeks saying “Mueller is coming up empty, no more indictments appear to be coming!” or saying “Donald Trump Jr. better clear his calendar and settle all his personal business because Mueller is coming!”
There will always be a market for stoking fears and selling paranoia to those who simply must have their daily dose of it. Most media organizations spent the past two years selling fake news stories to the public based on supposed ‘inside sources’ who kept insisting Mueller was closing in on Trump and the hammer was about to fall on the President and his inner circle.
There were plenty of reporters and journalists friendly to Trump who were also caught by complete surprise at Barr’s announcement on Friday because they’d just spent the past few weeks spinning narratives of the never-ending-Mueller-investigation and stoking fears of supposedly soon-to-be-revealed new indictments.
As I have been saying for months in my columns at The Epoch Times: first Mueller would end his Special Counsel investigation and deliver his final report; second President Donald Trump would declassify the FISA documents that were used to obtain a surveillance warrant on his former campaign adviser Carter Page; and then third DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz would release his long-anticipated report of his investigation into Spygate. I still hold to all three of these things, though it is still remotely possible that Horowitz suddenly announces the release of his report ahead of Trump’s declassification.
Those who have their credibility already weakened by the sudden “surprise” ending of the Mueller investigation will be finished off by the FISA declassification and the release of Horowitz’s report.
At this point in the story of the massive Spygate scandal, so many people have locked themselves into false narratives that the declassification of the FISA documents by President Trump is literally going to destroy their careers. Their careers in Congress, inside the federal agencies, and in the news media, will simply not survive. Entire media outlets will likely go under when their role in deliberately spreading what they knew was Fake News is fully exposed.
On Twitter, a user is able to ‘pin’ a single message to the top of their page, so it is the first thing a person reads upon visiting it. My pinned tweet says this:
“The capital you function on in news media is TRUST. You lose some of that every time your readers/viewers figure out you sold a lie to them.”
Many media outlets had little or no “trust capital” left when this entire Spygate scandal began. When the FISA declassification starkly reveals the way they shamelessly peddled known lies to their audiences on behalf of their political masters, lies that damaged the lives of innocent people, they will be sued out of existence.
And they won’t be missed.

Jim Jordan says 'release it all,' not just the Mueller report
by Caitlin Yilek
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued all documents from and related to Robert Mueller’s investigation should be released if the special counsel’s full report is made public.
“If they do release everything, then by golly release it all,” Jordan told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
Jordan demanded the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application on Carter Page, "302" summaries from the FBI, which detail the bureau’s interviews with witnesses, and any briefings lawmakers have received on the counterintelligence investigation into President Trump also be released.
“We have asked for that information to be made public a long time ago,” he said, noting that he has previously asked Trump to release those documents.
Jordan would not say whether he would ask the president to also release the Mueller report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“That’s the attorney general’s call and he’s going to do that consistent with the law,” he said. “If the Democrats are going to call for all that to be released, then they should call for everything to be released," he said.
“[Trump] said he wants it to be made public,” Jordan added.
Mueller delivered his report to Attorney General William Barr Friday afternoon, concluding his 22-month investigation. It’s now up to Barr to determine what will be released to Congress and the public.

‘GREEN REAL DEAL’: MATT GAETZ IS PREPARING THE GOP ANSWER TO OCASIO-CORTEZ’S GREEN NEW DEAL
Tim Pearce | Energy Reporter
GOP Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz is preparing to introduce a “Green Real Deal” resolution to contrast with Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, according to Politico.
Ocasio-Cortez unveiled her resolution on Feb. 7 and immediately faced criticism for its scope and potential cost, which reached toward tens of trillions of dollars. (RELATED: Ocasio-Cortez Bungled Green new Deal’s Release. Her Staff Took Its Webpage Offline)
A draft of Gaetz’s resolution, obtained by Politico, recognizes risks to the U.S. from climate change, citing Department of Defense reports that identify certain military assets and bases as at risk to rising sea levels and increasing severe weather events, such as hurricanes.
“Climate change creates new risks and exacerbates existing vulnerabilities in communities across the United States, presenting growing challenges to human health and safety, quality of life, and the rate of economic growth,” the draft says.
Energy lobbyists have seemingly received copies of Gaetz’s resolution are beginning to line up behind it in support.
“Congressman Gaetz deserves to be applauded for taking the lead in crafting a bold resolution that identifies actionable climate solutions that will benefit America’s economy, environment, and national security,” Heather Reams, executive director of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, said in a statement.
Gaetz’s resolution pushes market-driven innovation and competition from companies developing green energy technology. It does not set any emission reduction goals.
The draft pledges “to reduce and modernize regulations so that clean energy technologies can be deployed, and compete.”
In contrast to the Green New Deal, the draft Green Real Deal resolution takes a positive view on nuclear energy. Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution did not mention the energy sector, causing some controversy among pro-nuclear energy experts.
Gaetz’s legislation takes a wide-ranging approach to cutting emissions through investing in fossil fuel carbon capture technology, new and updated nuclear and hydropower placements, making the power grid more efficient and granting energy companies improved access to public lands.
The resolution pledges to “empower individuals, states, and the marketplace” to develop and disseminate new technology that will cut the United States’ carbon emissions.

SHAMELESS LIAR: Beto O’Rourke Tells Saturday Crowd “Trump Colluded with Russia” After Mueller Concludes Trump Didn’t Collude with Russia
by Jim Hoft
After nearly two years of investigating President Trump and his associates for so-called ‘Russian collusion’ during the 2016 election, Mueller delivered a report to the Justice Department.
Barr told Congress that Special Counsel Robert Mueller finished his investigation and there will be no more indictments of Trump officials regarding the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
There will be no more indictments because there was no collusion… The only collusion was the Obama administration and Democrats colluding to spy on and defeat Trump.
Despite the facts Democratic presidential candidate Bobby “Beto” O’Rourke lied to a crowd of supporters in Charleston on Saturday.
Beto O’Rourke: You have a president who, in my opinion, beyond a shadow of a doubt, sought to, no matter how ham-handedly, to collude with the Russian government, a foreign power to undermine and influence our elections. The sanctity of the ballot box, the ability of each and every single one of us to make informed decisions about those who seek to represent us and hold positions of public trust.
What a shameless liar!
And, for the record, that doesn’t even make sense.
