The
Result of Mueller’s Investigation: Nothing
By Paul
Craig Roberts
February 17, 2018 "Information
Clearing House"
- Robert Mueller
discredited himself and his orchestrated
Russiagate investigation today (Friday, February
16, 2018) with his charges that 13 Russians and
3 Russian companies plotted to use social media
to influence the 2016 election. Their intent,
Mueller says, was to “sow discord in the US
political system.”

What
pathetic results to come from a 9 month
investigation!
Note
that the hyped Russian hacking of Hillary’s
emails that we have heard about every day is no
where to be found in Mueller’s charges. In its
place there is “use of social media to sow
discord.” I mean, really! Even if the charge
were correct, considering the massive discord
present in the last presidential election, with
the Democrats calling Trump voters racist,
sexist, homophobic white trash deplorables, how
much discord could a measly 13 Russians add via
social media?
Note also that the Trump/Putin conspiracy is
also not present in Mueller’s charges.
Mueller’s charges say that the Russians’
plan to sow discord began in 2014, before
there was any notion that Trump would run
for president in 2017. The link of the plot
to Putin is reduced to the allegation that
the plot was financed by a St. Petersburg
restaurateur whose connection to Putin is
that his business once catered official
dinners between Russian officials and
foreign dignitaries.

Finally, note that Mueller’s release of his
charges in the face of dead news weekend means
that Mueller knows that he has nothing to
justify the massive propaganda onslaught against
Trump for conspiring with Putin with which the
presstitutes have regaled us. If the charges
amounted to anything, they would have been
released on Monday morning, and the presstitutes
would have been handed by the FBI and CIA the
news stories to file with their papers.
How did
the 13 Russians go about sowing discord? Are you
ready for this? They held political rallies
posing as Americans and they paid one person
(unidentified) to build a cage aboard a flatbed
pickup truck and another person to wear a
costume portraying Hillary in prison clothes.
How
much money was lavished on this plot. A monthly
budget of $1.2 million, a sum far too small to
be seen in the $2.65 billion spent by Hillary
and Trump and the $6.8 billion spent by all
candidates for federal elective offices in the
last election.

Mueller
claims to have emails from some of the 13
Russians. If the emails are authentic, they
sound like a few kids pretending to friends that
they are doing big things. One of the emails
brags that the FBI got after them so they got
busy covering up their tracks.
House
Speaker Paul Ryan has fallen for Mueller’s ruse.
Remember what William Binney, the person who
designed the NSA spy program, said: If any such
Russiagate plot existed, NSA would have the
evidence. No investigation would be necessary.
One can conclude that Mueller and Rosenstein are
fighting for their lives now that it is known
that their spy requests for FISA court approval
were based on deception. See:

Mueller has
produced this silly indictment of individuals
who are not the Russian government in the hope
that it will keep the attention off the FBI’s
deception of the FISA court.
As a
special prosecutor Mueller has demonstrated the
same lack of integrity that he demonstrated as
FBI director.
