The video begins with news clips from February 2017, when US President Donald Trump had been in office for less than a month.
If the mainstream media is to be believed, bombshells started dropping on the White House as the first lady was still picking out the drapes. At some point in February of that year, there was a "turning point" in the Trump administration, one pundit proclaimed. A series of other "turning points" followed in the ensuing months, which were then succeeded by more bombshells and proclamations that "the walls are closing in" on Trump's administration.
In the era of Russiagate, anything goes in the media, and the fake news phenomenon isn't limited to cable news or radio; print is equally, shall we say, compromised. To confirm that fundamental truth of the times, one needn't look further back than a New York Magazine piece from July that questioned whether the commander in chief had been a "Russian Asset Since 1997."
Even now, the media's "bombshells" (read: "duds") continue to drop. Forbes on Sunday published a piece entitled "Mueller Exposes Putin's Hold Over Trump," which claims that the special counsel probe is looking into "arguably the worst set of crimes against the United States in its history" that were committed by Trump and his inner circles.
It sounds like big news until you examine the details and realize it isn't, which is more or less the story of Russiagate in its entirety.
Mueller has indicted dozens of people since taking over the FBI's Russia probe in May 2017 and has even secured guilty pleas from the highest echelons of the Trump Organization and the Trump campaign. However, none of those criminal allegations or admissions have yet had anything to do with collusion with the Russian government.
