Editor's Note: The Russiagate affair has been from the start a hoax, concocted at the highest levels of the DNC/Deep State echelons, with Hillary Clinton and her supporting mob deeply involved—criminally—in almost all the pathetic shenanigans that have hijacked the nation's attention since the early days of the 2016 election. Quite probably, none of this would have succeeded to the vile extent it has (the whole scheme being a crude and in some ways ridiculous Rube Goldberg fabrication with a multitude of clumsy moving parts), without the totalitarian support of the DNC/Deep State media minions, a prostituted crowd whose deeds deserve urgent and ample exposure. The object of this conspiracy—as almost everyone half awake should know by now, was assuring the ascendancy of Hillary Clinton to the imperial throne in 2016. In order to make this happen, the DNC, Clinton-dominated cabal, a crowd of manipulators as cynical and sociopathic as they come, chose a devious scheme, to facilitate the victory of Donald Trump, in their eyes the weakest contender in the crowded GOP field.

In that they miscalculated. Arrogant to the last, they underestimated the sheer hatred their own party's faux leftist politics and long list of betrayals had engendered in "Flyover America", a long-aggrieved segment of the population Hillary would later compound the insult by labelling them "a basket of deplorables".  Second, they underestimated Trump. Trump, who remains his own worst enemy,  was never serious about his own candidacy. A colossally sleazy business operator and media buffoon with a long rap sheet of identity politics trespasses guaranteed to enrage the priggish liberal crowd, he had entered the race for reasons of pure narcissstic self-promotion. Which in his mind is always the same as brand promotion. His victory left him and his intimates for a while shocked and dumbfounded. The job was clearly far more than he was prepared to assume. This we know from the testimony of many insiders, including the likes of Steve Bannon himself. And here's the ironic rub in all this sordid mess: while his defiant, often moronic and oafish demeanor dismissive of so many liberal platitudes and flagrant anti-intellectualism made him a hero in the eyes of those who justifiably distrust the bicoastal elites and their endless sophisto style of mendacity (qualities well embodied in Barack Obama, the ultimate political charlatan in recent memory), such character traits made him a monster in the eyes of the Democrat faithful, a comfortable crowd that, true to their liberal nature, has always preferred symbolism to actual, concrete social advances. Bottom line is that the Russiagate hoax —with its long trail of untouched criminality well laid out in the below presentation—would have never taken off or maintained flight to this day, even after the mealy-mouthed exonerations proffered by Mueller, if it hadn't been for Trump's simply repugnant personality, a feeling of disgust he has kept alive by irrepressible daily infusions of misguided pronouncements, firings and reactionary policy choices. In fact, even his favorite style of communication with the nation, the tweet, has alienated many closet conservatives who still cling to the notion that someplace, somewhere, there is still a respectable, dignified, law-abiding nation called America.

Style, however, and even abominable policies (Clinton, Obama and Bushie2 were no better and, so far, demonstrably worse in criminal magnitude) is not an impeachable offence. This is the central point that the new pro-war, CIA/FBI-loving liberals refuse to accept, to the damnation of everything they profess to uphold.  This obduracy guarantees that the Russiagate witch-hunt and its myrad poisonous effects will be with us a lot longer than anyone expected. —PG
