Tom McLaughlin: Post-Mueller developments

The Mueller investigation is over. His long-awaited report is out, and everyone has had a chance to read it. Despite Robert Mueller saying there was no evidence of collusion or cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, most on the left still insist there was. Still more insist that President Donald Trump tried to cover up a “crime” that Mueller says never occurred. The only visible change is that fewer Democrats are calling for Trump’s impeachment. Among presidential candidates, only Sen. Elizabeth Warren is.

There’s been a similar reaction in mainstream media, which had pushed the Trump/Russia collusion narrative hard for more than two years. They seem genuinely disappointed that Mueller found nothing. MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, for example, said on “Meet the Press” last Sunday: “It (the Mueller Report) described a campaign eager to accept the help of a hostile foreign power: Russia.” Really, Chuck? The report itself stated, and I quote: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russia Government in its election interference activities.”
