THEY WILL FACE NO CONSEQUENCE FOR THEIR DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN

Over the past two years of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into collusion with Russia by President Donald Trump’s campaign, leading Democrats have bet the farm on certain outcomes and hyped the “collusion” theory to all of America, with the help of the mainstream media. They said it was a slam dunk: Collusion and impeachment.

Today, Attorney General William Barr released a summary of the report. The verdict? No collusion. Pure and simple. If Barr’s summary is inaccurate, surely Mueller would have stated that by now.

Here’s a brief sample of what key Democrats have been saying to warp the public dialogue for the past two years. These are but a fraction of the “on message” unfounded allegations from sitting members of Congress in a coordinated effort to destroy public confidence in the president. In other words, actual collusion by Democrats:
