Synopsis of Mueller’s findings is DAMNING for the entire #RussiaGate-media-industrial-complex...particularly @maddow @cnn @nytimes @washingtonpost @MotherJones @DavidCornDC @cenkuygur @RepAdamSchiff @RepSwalwell. It’s conclusions show what @aaronjmate @jimmy_dore @ggreenwald

@mtracey @theProgSoapbox and I (and others) have said for YEARS. Few things: 1) TRUMP 100% did obstruct justice MULTIPLE TIMES and it’s crazy Mueller and DOJ concluded otherwise. 2) the full report MUST BE released—we all have a right to find out how these conclusions were made

3) As i have said FOR 3 YEARS...Real crime with Trump and Russia is MONEY LAUNDERING THROUGH HIS BUSINESS...Which it’s highly likely NY’s southern district has evidence of

4) Just because it was ALWAYS obvious Trump nor his campaign “colluded with Russia”...that doesn’t mean Russia didn’t favor Trump. They clearly did. Trump is in no way squeaky clean or innocent—he just wasn’t put into office BECAUSE OF RUSSIA AND SOME GRAND CONSPIRACY 5) It’s

Highly likely Trump lied about knowing about Trump Tower meeting with Russian lawyer and it’s HIGHLY likely Trump and his campaign were open to dirt about @HillaryClinton from Russia and other countries. There just was never proof they actually ever worked alongside Russia to

Distribute that dirt 6) I forgot to credit @mtaibbi @KyleKulinski @LeeCamp @JennElizabethJ @RonPlacone @miserablelib and others who labeled this an absurd conspiracy theory from early 7) the ideologues saying I or others I mentioned are TRUMP SUPPORTERS because we used critical

Thinking skills rather than engage in ratings/clicks profiteering and Trump-derangement syndrome is ABSURD. I believe Trump is HORRIBLE for an actual democracy (we aren’t actually one). He is a threat to environment, black and brown and LGBTQ people, our economic system, and

Potentially creating a nuclear war (that many of the #RussiaGate peddlers provoked him into escalating with Russia). There are SO MANY THINGS to go after Trump on..yet all of the media and Dems chose to reenact the Cold War on SHEER SPECULATION AND INNUENDO

8) the media could have spent the 24/7 time it spent on #RussiaGate on the gun TERRORISM going on across the country (two Parkland students committed suicide in past few days). Or on the ONGOING #FlintWaterCrisis that is a month shy of FIVE YEARS OLD (and I recently broke MI

Cheated on the water testing by flushing residents water right before testing. Or covering and CALLING FOR ACTION on the continued EXECUTION of black men by police. Or the continued attacks on LGBTQ people. Or the growing PFAS water contamination CRISIS. Or the growing

Affordable housing/homelessness/gentrification CRISIS. Or 100 other stories the corporate media—and most independent outlets—IGNORED In favor of covering the evil Russian boogeyman and conspiracy. Myself and the others aren’t saying these things to do a happy dance and say “I

Told you so” (although we did). We are pointing this out because vulnerable people depend on the media to cover and expose REAL SCANDALS. Not just speculate 24/7 for 4 years on one for which there is no substantial proof of. 9) Lastly—The Snynopsis of Mueller’s report can put to

Rest the DELUSION & DEFLECTION that @HillaryClinton lost because of Russia. It was always a lie and pathetic deflection from the truth...working people have woken up to the fact that both parties are corrupt. And Trump hoodwinked millions into thinking he was an everyman champion

In fact, in the book "Shattered," it's revealed that in aftermath of @HillaryClinton's loss, her campaign IMMEDIATELY strategized on how to pin the loss on Russia and "collusion." This was the deflection (and for many of the campaign aides, a post-campaign money making scheme)

And FINALLY....regardless of what you think of @wikileaks and Julian Assange (same Dems hating both now loved them when their leaks were good for them)...Assange and @wikileaks has been crucified for years despite him ALWAYS denying Russia was his source and there NEVER being

a "smoking gun" to prove Russia was his @wikileaks' source. WikiLeaks has a 100% accuracy record---and Assange has long been a patriot who has released to the public critical information on war crimes, mass surveillance, and corruption in both political parties. He should NOT

be holed up in an embassy being psychologically and physically tortured. It is criminalizing journalism. The same #RussiaGate peddlers should look in the mirror after being proven wrong and demand Assange's full release
