pat buchanan's take on the mueller show;
The Democrats who were looking to cast Robert Mueller as the star in a
TV special, “The Impeachment of Donald Trump,” can probably tear up the
script. They’re gonna be needing a new one.
For six hours Wednesday, as three cable news networks and ABC, CBS
and NBC all carried live the hearings of the House Judiciary and
Intelligence Committees, the Mueller report was thoroughly trashed.
The special counsel stood by his findings. His investigation was not a
“hoax” or “witch hunt,” he said. He admitted that he had found no
Trump-Russia conspiracy. He denied he exonerated Trump of obstruction of
justice.
All this we knew, and all of it we have heard for months.
What was new, what was dramatic, what was compelling was how the
House Republicans arrived with their war paint on and ripped Mueller and
his investigation to such shreds that viewers were feeling sorry for
the special counsel at the end of his six hours of grilling.
The Republicans exposed him as only vaguely conversant with his own report. They
revealed that he had probably not written his own statement challenging
the depiction of his findings by Attorney General Bill Barr.
Mueller’s staff of lawyers, Republicans showed, reads like a donors
list for Hillary Clinton. The FBI contingent that started the
investigation was a cabal so hateful of Trump that some had to be fired......https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/07/patrick-j-buchanan/after-mueller-debacle-where-do-democrats-go/

pcr speaks here about the russian election meddling hoax and its effects;
Americans Are Consigning Themselves to the Trash Bin of History
Paul Craig Roberts
The Democrats are even more insane than I thought. The Trump-hater Nadler had a press conference with other Trump-hating Democrats and claimed, despite the absence of any evidence from Mueller, that Trump is a criminal. Reassured by this certitude, the Democrats will continue their impeachment investigation, says Nadler.
Among the most crazed elements of the Democrats, Mueller is no longer the hero. Mueller sold out to Trump in order to protect himself, as Trump was going to have Mueller assassinated if Mueller did not clear him. This conspiracy theory comes from those who ridicule skeptics of the official 9/11 story and various of the school shootings. The dastardly Mueller, more concerned with protecting himself than with cleansing the government of the Trump evil, suppressed the evidence of Trump’s guilt in order to save his own ass.
In other words, the Democrats, deserted by their hero, cannot let go of the orchestration we call “Russiagate.”
It is enough to drive a person to despair that among the abundant evidence of American election interference, no attention is given by Democrats to interference by the Israel Lobby, the pharmaceutical lobby, the oil lobby, the Wall Street Lobby, the military/security complex lobby. Sheldon Adelson, a single individual with a fortune from casino gambling of $33 billion, 300 million dollars, has more clout on the outcome of US presidential elections than Putin. These few lobbies mentioned above have resources berween them in excess of the GDP of Russia. It is totally impossible for Russia to outbid them............https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/07/26/americans-are-consigning-themselves-to-the-trash-bin-of-history/

kunstler speaks of how the mueller 'investigation' was a fiasco and dance of fools;
Who imagined that in the climactic scene of the blockbuster RussiaGate fantasy, when the curtain was ripped away, the Wizard at the controls would turn out to be… Captain Queeg! We need not rehearse all the depressing particulars of Robert Mueller’s six-hour public humiliation in two House committee hearings in order to reach a set of conclusions about the conduct of his rogue investigation and the perfidious report issued in his name.
One is that Robert Mueller could not have run his investigation. There is even reason to question that he was briefed on the day-to-day developments by the people who did run it — since, for instance, he apparently never heard the phrase “Fusion GPS,” that is, the swarm of flying monkeys who delivered the whole shebang’s predicate documents known as the Steele Dossier simultaneously to the FBI, The Washington Post, and The New York Times beginning in 2016. By his testimony Wednesday, Mr. Mueller gives fresh and tragic meaning to the term useful idiot.
The two-year inquisition was run by attorneys Andrew Weissmann and Jeanie Rhee, two arch Hillary Clinton partisans (the latter a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation), leading now to the conclusion that the Mueller Investigation itself was no less a Clinton operation than the Steele Dossier. I wonder if it will become known whether Mrs. Clinton herself was in regular communication with Weissmann and Rhee during these years, or who were the intermediaries between them. Surely federal attorney John Durham has the mojo to seize phone records of the Mueller Team and find out exactly who was checking in with whom.
I, for one, even doubt that the lingering assertion of Russian “interference” in the 2016 election — taken as dictum by too many dupes — has any merit at all. Rather it was just a foggy byproduct of the mighty gaslighting effort by experienced Intel Community specialists working the zealously biased and credulous news media into a lather of bad faith. All of the Russians and “Russian agents” lassoed into narrative appear to have professional connections to either the CIA, the FBI, the US State department, or Mrs. Clinton’s various networks of myrmidons in the DNC, the Obama administration, and Fusion GPS. These relationships were all sedulously ignored by the Special Counsel’s office — and now they can’t be............https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/a-purview-of-dust/

a potentially interesting sidebar on the epstein mess;
Florida Sen. Lauren Book has reached out to
Capitol police after receiving an anonymous warning connected to her
demand for a state inquiry into Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s
handling of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s lenient work release program, the Miami Herald has learned.
Book, a vocal advocate for
child sexual assault survivors, said she also received more than a
dozen calls from Bradshaw’s political supporters asking her to back off
on her call for an investigation by the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement into Bradshaw.........https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article233102457.html
this writer spends some time considering/exploring why the epstein case is very important and why it might not go anywhere: its because too many of 'our' rulers have too much to loose;
Perhaps, at long last, a serial rapist and pedophile may be brought to justice, more than a dozen years after he was first charged with crimes that have brutalized countless girls and women. But what won’t change is this: the cesspool of elites, many of them in New York, who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to flourish with impunity.For decades, important, influential, “serious” people attended Epstein’s dinner parties, rode his private jet, and furthered the fiction that he was some kind of genius hedge-fund billionaire. How do we explain why they looked the other way, or flattered Epstein, even as they must have noticed he was often in the company of a young harem? Easy: They got something in exchange from him, whether it was a free ride on that airborne “Lolita Express,” some other form of monetary largesse, entrée into the extravagant celebrity soirées he hosted at his townhouse, or, possibly and harrowingly, a pound or two of female flesh...........https://russia-insider.com/en/epstein-case-rare-opportunity-focus-depraved-nature-americas-elite/ri27503
