The threats and raving continued all the livelong day and far into the peeper-filled night\u00a0<\/strong>with CNN\u2019s Chris Cuomo blustering \u201cIt\u2019s time to rumble,\u201d and the lugubrious hack David Gergen muttering soulfully, \u201cThis was\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0fake news,\u201d and\u00a0The Times\u2019<\/em>\u00a0Maggie Haberman fuming that the White House had played the \u201cNazi anthem\u201d\u00a0Edelweiss<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 very fake news, it turned out, since the tune was written for Rodgers\u2019 and Hammerstein\u2019s 1959 Broadway show,\u00a0The Sound of Music<\/em>\u00a0(and sung by the anti-Nazi hero Baron von Trapp). Meanwhile Rachel Maddow had the balls to confab in prime time with disgraced former FBI mandarin Andy McCabe, officially identified as a liar by his own colleagues at the agency. What a circus of perfidious freakery!<\/p>\n Understand that\u00a0the Mueller Report itself was the mendacious conclusion to a deceitful investigation, the purpose of which was to conceal the criminal conduct of US government officials meddling in the 2016 election, in collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign,<\/strong>\u00a0to derail Mr. Trump\u2019s campaign, and then disable him when he managed to win the election. Mr. Mueller was theoretically trying to save the FBI\u2019s reputation, but he may have only succeeded in injuring it more gravely.<\/p>\n The whole wicked business began as a (failed) entrapment scheme<\/strong>\u00a0using shadowy US Intel \u201cassests\u201d Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud to con small fish Papadopoulos and Carter Page into incriminating themselves (they declined to be conned) and moved on to ploys like the much-touted\u00a0Trump Tower meeting<\/em>\u00a0to ensnare Trump Junior and then to several efforts (also failed) to flip Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen \u2014 the final product of which was an epic failure to find one instance of real chargeable criminal collusion between anyone connected to Mr. Trump and Russia.<\/p>\n By the way, the Mueller Report failed to mention that the two Russians present in that August 2016 Trump Tower meeting, lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin, were on the payroll of Hillary Clinton\u2019s oppo research contractor Fusion GPS, and met with that company\u2019s principal, Glenn Simpson, both before and after the meeting \u2014 just one example among many of the Mueller Team\u2019s shifty tactics, but a move that speaks volumes about Mr. Mueller\u2019s actual intent, which was to keep his prosecutorial circus going as long as possible to interfere with Mr. Trump carrying out his own duties.<\/p>\n The Special Prosecutor\u2019s main bit of mischief, of course, was his refusal to\u00a0reach a conclusion<\/em>on the obstruction of justice charge.\u00a0<\/strong>What the media refuses to accept and make clear is that a prosecutor\u2019s failure to reach a conclusion is\u00a0exactly the same thing<\/em>\u00a0as an inability to make a case, and it was a breach of Mr. Mueller\u2019s duty to dishonestly present that failure as anything but that in his report \u2014 and possibly an act of criminal prosecutorial misconduct.<\/p>\n
