The lefty media is starting to supplant damage control articles. They have been letting the dimms down easy on the 'blue wave' talk for the past month and now they are starting to warm them up to the idea that the Mueller report will disappoint. newrepublic.com/article/151820…
Politico published a downer on Friday. “President Donald Trump’s critics have spent the past 17 months anticipating what some expect will be among the most thrilling events of their lives: special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on Russian 2016 election interference,”
“They may be in for a disappointment.” That’s the conclusion reporter Darren Samuelsohn came to after speaking with defense lawyers involved in the case and “more than 15 former government officials with investigation experience.”
Mueller’s report may never be released to the public—and even if it were, it may not contain any bombshells b/c the special counsel’s “by-the-books, conservative style” may cause him to “lean more toward saying less than more.” In short: Don’t get your hopes up, Trump critics.
'Prosecutors don’t typically comment on what they find during a criminal inquiry unless they use it to bring charges, and for good reason.'
~Make sure that you notice what the writers of this article are about to do- They have subliminally led their readers to believe that there are plenty of things Mueller has found on Trump, but it falls short of criminal. ~
'Investigators trudge through intimate details of people’s lives, uncover embarrassing secrets, or find evidence of wrongdoing that falls short of criminal activity. Generally speaking, it would be deeply unfair for prosecutors to reveal what they learn outside of a courtroom.'
~ See it? The sheeple will read that and hear "they found embarrassing secrets or Trump wrongdoing, but just won't tell us". Neurolinguistics 101- They don't say it happened, they just suggest that it could have happened and the reader hears what the writer 'didn't' say.~
Emboldened by their own words on paper, writer Matt Ford now starts telling his readers who to blame for the Mueller report being disappointing. "But the Russia investigation is more than that. Trump and his Republican allies in Congress have resisted efforts....."
....." to learn the full extent and effect of Russian election meddling in 2016. Party leaders refused to create a Watergate-style committee or a 9/11-style commission to find the truth, while House Republicans have spent the last year trying..."
..."to discredit and shut down the Justice Department’s inquiry into the matter."
~ Have they? Or is there REALLY a team of DOJ investigators looking into who REALLY colluded with Russia to interfere with the 2016 Presidential election? ~

"As a result, the special counsel’s inquiry may be Americans’ best chance to understand an attack on their democracy."
~Have you noticed in the past few months how many times the dimms have used the term "Attack on our democracy?"
~Have you noticed in the past few months how many times the dimms have used the term "Attack on our democracy?"
This is NOT by accident- they are again using neurolinguistics to plant seeds in the minds of the weak minded. We do NOT live in a democracy, we live in a Republic. They do this to warm everyone to the idea that 'majority rules' ie- Popular vote wins.
"I wrote in April that if he is unable to complete the investigation because of political interference by the Trump administration, he has a duty to go public with his findings. That reasoning applies even if he wraps up the probe of his own accord."
~ Did you catch that? Mr. Ford DIRECTLY contradicts what he said earlier in the article when he said 'Prosecutors don't normally comment on what they find- for good reason.' He is counting on most conservatives to stop reading after the first 2 paragraphs. ~
"Mueller’s silence is ethically, legally, and politically smart while the investigation is ongoing. But to keep quiet after it ends would be incompatible with a democratic society." ~ There it is again- Democratic society. The MOB wants to know- so the MOB should know.
~ As the article continues- you can see that Mr. Ford just cannot help himself. He still wants to believe that there will be something that 'takes Trump down' and he stokes up the dimm readers again. How many times can they be lied to and still believe the lib media lies?~
"Though Mueller hasn’t taken public steps ahead of the November midterms, there are signs that he hasn’t been idle. Investigators continued to question associates of Roger Stone, the longtime Republican political operative....."
"....about his interactions with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during the 2016 election. The special counsel’s office reportedly met with Paul Manafort nine times in the last four weeks. Michael Cohen, also sat for multiple interviews with Mueller’s team since Labor Day."
"Will Americans ever learn what they told Mueller? If he sticks with the practices of past investigations, maybe not." ~ See he is still planting the seeds that it is somehow a sham against the American people because they just won't tell you all the bad things they found.~
"In this case, silence would be untenable on multiple levels. First, the public needs to know the full extent of what Mueller has learned about Russian interference." ~I agree with this statement by Mr. Ford WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I just don't think that he will like what comes out.~
"Despite the president’s habitual denials, those charges (against the Internet Research agency and Dancing Bear) reaffirmed that the Russian government bore responsibility for what happened in 2016." ~ SEE because Mueller indicted some Russians, Trump colluded- SEE- SEE...~
"And while it’s unlikely any of the defendants will ever see a U.S. courtroom, the charges provide a common set of facts for the public to understand the depth and breadth of social-media manipulation during the election." ~ AND HERE IT IS- The charges against people who ......
... will NEVER see a U.S. courtroom, "PROVIDES A COMMON SET OF FACTS FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA MANIPULATION DURING THE ELECTION" It is ALL about making it look like something when it is nothing. Not saying the Russians did not interfere...
... but in the eyes of the Trump haterz, Russian interference = Trump collusion. FALSE! Hillary and the DNC were the ones working with the Russians. So when he uses the phrase "provides a common set of facts", that is a mental fabrication of implied wrongdoing associated with DJT
"The need for accountability goes even further. Mueller’s findings would allow Americans to know who did what during the 2016 election and how they should be held to account. For some individuals, the answer may be criminal charges." ~Be careful what you wish for would apply here
Mr. Ford does actually enter into a reality situation with his readers here, although he is projecting directly onto Trump- what he is saying is factually accurate. But in his mind he cannot fathom that, the references to Trump or President should be replaced with Hillary.
"There’s also civic value to knowing what happened. With so many threads and figures in the Russia investigation, it’s easy to lose track of why this all matters. At its core are questions about the validity of American self-government itself."
He worded that really weirdly, but what he is trying to say is 'it raises the questions as to whether or not the American government has been compromised by foreign influence.' The answer to that is it absolutely WAS- Trump is fixing it. Another example of the projection by dims
"Did the president conspire with foreign powers to take over the country? Did he break the law by trying to shut down inquiries into that question? Americans need answers to these questions for an abstract but fundamental purpose:...."
"... so they can maintain faith in the nation’s democratic system, or take appropriate electoral action if that faith is not warranted." ~Mr. Ford just comes out & makes the accusation against Trump- without actually making the accusation. Replace Trump with HRC & it is factual~
Notice also that he AGAIN uses the "democratic system" as a dog whistle. Just start paying attention to how often the left uses variations of this phrase to imply we live under a democracy.
"At least half of the country believes the president may have cooperated with a foreign government while it broke the law to win his office. If Mueller can prove collusion, the American people deserve to know. If Mueller can’t prove it, that would be important to know, too."
So in the end Mr. Ford brings the readers full circle back to his opening- There is likely nothing here and you should not expect bombshells to come out. But the entire body of his article is outlining that Trump is guilty. This ladies and gentlemen is #HowFakeNewsWorks!
