The Wall Street Journal's latest Editorial potshot at truth ('The Tragedy Of Robert Mueller', p. A16 yesterday, is as bereft of fact as its earlier editorial misfires on the SAVE Act and Paul Ehrlich. In this one the Journal's Pooh Bahs insisting:
"The FBI Director's long service was marred by the Russia collusion probe. The tragedy of his legacy is that he agreed to lead the probe into whether Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.".
No, it was not. It was the conservative, reactionary media (like the WSJ) that marred its own credibility by failing to accept what Mueller revealed: That Donald Trump is basically a "KGB plant" foolishly elected by 77m nutso Americans. This now buttressed by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele's 2024 book, 'Unredacted'. We now know, thanks to Mr. Steele's further work, the extent to which Trump DID collude and indeed, conspired with Putin and other Russian operatives to further his aims. As Steele writes in his book's Introduction:
"Presently the gravest threat to Western democracy and the rule of law comes from Donald Trump and the U.S. Republican Party, increasingly the willing handmaidens for Putin."
Adding:
"It is sometimes easy to forget that Putin helped Trump to become President before, in 2016l as the report by special counsel Robert Mueller made clear."
Indeed, and there were literally troves of substantiated material which the WSJ nabobs casually ignore in Mueller's (2019) Report:.

Including his indictments of 12 Russian (GRU) agents.
[Read the indictment here.]
So it beggars the rational mind how the Journal, which prides itself on otherwise sober reporting, can spout bollocks about Mueller's Report offering "dubious conclusions" and even suggesting (at the end of the editorial) Mueller may not have been fit enough to render credible conclusions. I.e. "How much was a declining Mueller in control of his investigation? In 2019, when he testified before the House his decline was apparent."
Well, how about Trump's rapid decline? Shouldn't that merit his removal under the 25th amendment? This is a deranged mutt who just launched a war on a whim because he believed he could conquer Iran as easily as Venezuela! Thereby, minus any rhyme or reason, sending gas prices into the stratosphere, even as he yelped he was "glad" Mueller died! See also:

Maybe the Journal's editors would do better to ask Trump's 1st term AG William Barr why he found it necessary to incarcerate a former Air Force officer (Reality Winner) under the 1917 Espionage Act for using the internet to leak documents pertaining to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
If there was no "there, there" and the Russia story was just a hoax, why lock her up? Why not just dismiss her as a flake suffering from TDS? Wasn't she just leaking her own fantasies over the internet?
But this has been symptomatic of how the right-leaning media has continued to coddle and make excuses for the pestilence holding the highest office in the land. A degraded fungal maggot who has seemingly compromised all who might hold him to account. Especially after his last display of removing sanctions for Russian oil, after he knew that Putin and Co. were dispatching intel on U.S. military targets to Iran. This was reported in The Washington Post:
Russia is giving Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say - The Washington Post
Noting:
"Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence.
Then there was the main section WSJ article ('Europe Confronts Rupture', p. A8,Jan. 20, p. A8) noting:
"Even more important to Putin than all of Ukraine is the longstanding Russian objective to divide the trans-Atlantic alliance. So recent Trump and U.S. actions that break the cohesion and trust within NATO are a gift to Putin" According to Doug Lute, a former U.S. Ambassador to NATO."
Incredibly, also in January, the WSJ editors acknowledged for once the degree to which Trump is a real Russian apparatchik, noting:
"For more than 75 years, the fondest dream of Russian strategy has been to divide Western Europe from the U.S. and break the NATO alliance. That is now a possibility as President Trump presses his campaign to capture Greenland no matter what the locals or its Denmark owner thinks."
Never mind Trump backed off, after a firestorm erupted. He attempted it! The only rational and logical explanation that explains Trump's actions across the board is that he's a Russian pawn or agent, doing Putin's bidding. Likely because the Russian has a 'pee tape' on him, as first exposed in the Steele Dossier. See e.g.
James Carville: There Is A Pee Tape
Steele Dossier a fake? Think again! As reported in the comprehensive 'Moscow Project": Dossier - The Moscow Project
"Donald Trump’s allies in Congress and in the media have long attempted to use the Steele Dossier to discredit the Russia investigation. It has also been the subject of lawsuits filed by parties named in the document.
But Christopher Steele is now fighting back full tilt against that agitprop. He makes clear the purpose for writing his recent book in his Author’s Note:
“I believe it is in the public interest for me to revisit matters
raised in the dossier and republish in the form I have decided to do in this
work, so that readers are able to understand fully my account of the events
described, my criticisms of the investigative efforts which followed and my
ongoing concerns that the matters raised in the dossier (including the issue of
Russian Kompromat) have not been serious resolved and so remain a threat.”
This is important as in the page that follows where he pointedly
writes that the “Trump-Russia Dossier was published in Buzzfeed without his
knowledge or approval." Buzzfeed's blatant and
reckless act had the effect of unmasking many of Steeles sources who were then
“punished by the Russian regime and its facilitators.” It also had the effect of
But throughout his book, Steel stands by what he wrote in the
dossier given he relied on numerous independent sources, as well as high
quality investigative reporting, unlike the drivel typically coming out of the Wall Street Journal at the time. By contrast,
In his book, Steele observes (p. 144) there were accusations of Russian collaboration leveled against Trump - though he denied them. However, multiple witnesses testified (ibid.) under oath that he stayed overnight at the Moscow Ritz Carlton in 2013 – where the pee tape was made. Further, three experienced Guardian UK journalists (Luke Harding, Julian Borger, Dan Sabbah) reported:
“the existence of a leaked Kremlin document
describing the meeting of the Russian National Security Council in January,
2016 at which Vladimir Putin ‘authorizes a secret spy operation to support a ‘mentally
unstable Donald Trump’ in the 2016 presidential election.”
"Had unearthed numerous connections between Trump and Russia, including his links with alleged Russian organized crime figures - also that Trump had made many trips to Russia starting in the Soviet era."
This also meshes with the Trump back story revealed in a New Republic expose on the traitor rat's history with Russia (Aug./Sept. 2017, p .29):
"A review of the public record reveals a clear and disturbing pattern: Trump owes much of his business success, and by extension his presidency, to a flow of highly suspicious money from Russia. Over the past three decades, at least 13 people with known or alleged links to Russian mobsters or oligarchs have owned, lived in, or even run criminal activities out of Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Many used his apartments and casinos to launder untold millions in dirty money .....
Taken together, the flow of money from Russia provided Trump with a crucial infusion of financing that helped rescue his empire from ruin, burnish his image, and launch his career in television and politics....It's entirely possible that Trump was never more than a convenient patsy for Russian oligarchs and mobsters."
So uh, yeah, Trump is a Russkie asset - maybe even a Manchurian candidate - and it doesn't take a Mensa level IQ to figure that out. Hell, all you needed was to witness Trump's deference to Putin in their Anchorage meet last August,
Anchorage Meet Proved Trump Is Still Putin's Bitch - And It Ain't No "Zombie Lie",
And to grasp Putin got everything he could have out of it - including mountains of respect - while Donny Dotard got polar bear piss and lickspittle.
Maybe it's time The Wall Street Journal's mavens finally wake up to the fact the guy they're coddling is a craven traitor and liability to this country. Hint: Journal Editors, check out Putin's mug as he gets in the Trump limo in Anchorage last summer:

Eight of our American service members are dead and over 140 wounded because Iran’s military has suddenly gotten really good at targeting our soldiers, Airmen, and Marines. News reports say they’ve been able to hit us with such precision because Russia is using their extraordinary spy satellite, spy plane, and advanced radar capabilities to help Iran’s military.
The Washington Post, which first reported on this, quoted a Russian military expert as saying that Iran is now “making very precise hits on early-warning radars or over-the-horizon radars,” seeming to validate the concern. The article added:
“Iran possesses only a handful of military-grade satellites, and no satellite constellation of its own, which would make imagery provided by Russia’s much more advanced space capabilities highly valuable — particularly as the Kremlin has honed its own targeting after years of war in Ukraine…”

The British newspaper Daily Mail is out with a deeply researched investigative report, the result of a long collaboration between columnists Glen Owen and Dan Hodges, along with Mark Hookham (Assistant Editor Investigations), and Daisy Graham-Brown (Investigative Reporter).
It’s shocking in its detail and its implication that Putin has basically owned Trump for years, even before he ran for president in 2016.
They note of last week’s partial (about 50%) Epstein document release:
“The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow. Epstein even seems to have secured audiences with Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.”

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who led the high-profile investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow, passed away Saturday, prompting an immediate and inflammatory response from President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform.
Mueller, 79, had served as the FBI's director from 2001 to 2013 under both Republican and Democratic administrations. He was appointed special counsel in May 2017 to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential obstruction of justice by Trump. The investigation lasted nearly two years and resulted in the Mueller Report, which detailed extensive Russian interference efforts and numerous contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian operatives, though it stopped short of making a prosecutorial judgment on obstruction charges.

Russia sees victory as Trump adopts Putin’s approach to ending Ukraine war - The Washington Post
Excerpt:
Russian officials and commentators were especially enamored by Trump’s unusually warm red-carpet greeting to Putin on Friday in which they saw an opening to pull America away from its traditional allies in Europe. ...Trump appeared to have been swayed by the Kremlin’s contention that only a comprehensive peace deal was acceptable — which Putin has so far used to delay efforts to halt the fighting.
Putin also succeeded, to some extent, in deflecting pressure to end the war onto Zelensky — rather than keeping it on Russia as the aggressor — with Trump telling Fox News after the summit that Zelensky should “make a deal” now because “Russia’s a very big power. And they’re not.”
