The media’s assessment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s July 24 testimony about Russiagate on Capitol Hill changed considerably within 48 hours of its aftermath. News outlets and pundits hostile to President Donald Trump (are there any other kind?) initially described his out-of-touch, uniformed presentation as a disaster. It was a disaster for those beating the impeachment drum, anyway.

By virtually all accounts, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the “author” of the Mueller Report, came across like a uniformed, absentee landlord in his Capitol Hill testimony on Wednesday about alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential election. As such, the momentum among House Democrats for a Trump impeachment as a result of this disaster seems to have stalled.
There is increasing momentum among House Democrats across ideological lines to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump. That is the contention of journalist Michael Tracey.
Russiagate turned out to be “Deflategate” in that the Mueller report deflated the 24-7 media narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin. Against that backdrop, Aaron Maté joins an exclusive club, consisting of Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Tracey, and Caitlin Johnstone and just a few other anti-Trump, left-wing/progressive journalists essentially concluding that the whole thing indeed was an establishment/media-driven hoax, if not a coup attempt against a sitting president.
The Never Trumpers are GOP establishment luminaries and others in the Washington-New York media/political circuit who would have preferred Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the presidency in 2016 over their party’s official candidate. Since the election, vocal Never Trumpers, Republicans in Name Only, and assorted globalists have gone increasingly left ideologically out of animosity for the 45th president. Putting the “con” in conservative, they have abandoned all the long-time principles they supposedly espoused to collect a check from CNN or MSNBC or another liberal benefactor.
Special Counsel Mueller’s report released today concluded that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Nor was there any obstruction of justice by President Trump. But does there need to be a further inquiry into collusion?
