I have always said that there is the distinct probability that #Mueller would turn up nought, because to find anything would start a cascade of discovery that would cause systemic failure on a global scale.

I stand by that theory.

Or we have been hoodwinked after all.

There is always the sad chance that Mueller never intended to find much, and this whole push and pull between Trump and Mueller has been nothing but staged theatrics.

Fifteen years ago this charge would have sounded ridiculous and conspiratorial, but today it seems mundane.

I mean after 2016 and what was done to Hillary Clinton, after Comey, or learning that Kennedy made a backroom deal with Trump that gave his seat to #BrettKavanaugh, or how @SenatorCollins threw her legacy under the bus to give Kavanaugh the seat, or, or, or...

I mean, let's be honest, the list of betrayals is long. So, if in the end, the Republican who was put in charge of investigating another Republican turns out to have been a part of the plan all along this will hardly be a clasp your pearls moment by any stretch.

The saddest part this entire commentary is that there are too many Americans out there who will be more than happy to view anything less than a charge of treason from Mueller as a vindication for Trump and his cohorts.

It's pathetic.

The system, and I do mean the entire system, has failed. It is broken, and, short of an actual revolution, or the less likely summoning of a new Constitutional Congress, there seems to be little recourse for common Americans.

Our dystopian future has arrived.
