Russian Collusion, Clinton $tyle
[National Review] Strolling one afternoon near Manhattan’s Sixth Avenue and West 34th Street, I spotted two tourists with their faces nestled in a map. They looked hopelessly lost."Can I help you?" I asked. Thoroughly flummoxed, they pleaded, "Where’s the Empire State Building?" I pointed straight up, one block east, and said: "It’s right there!" Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team resemble those hapless travelers. They scour their visitors’ guide in vain for any trace of Team Trump’s alleged Russian collusion. Meanwhile, just steps away, the Clintons’ Russian-collusion skyscraper soars into the clouds. In fact, former Trump-campaign aide Sam Nunberg said that Team Mueller asked him if he had heard anyone in Trump Tower speak Russian. Apparently, nyet. Although they started sniffing around in July 2016, neither the FBI’s bloodhounds nor those of Mueller or Congress have detected a whiff of evidence that ties Trump to Russian collusion. Indeed, the House Intelligence Committee interviewed 70 witnesses and reviewed 300,000 documents before wrapping up its Russiagate inquiry last Thursday. As its final report states, "The Committee found no evidence that meetings between Trump associates ‐ including Jeff Sessions ‐ and official representatives of the Russian government ‐ including [Moscow’s] Ambassador Kislyak ‐ reflected collusion, coordination, or conspiracy with the Russian government." In contrast, Team Mueller studiously ignores something more conspicuous than the iridescent onion domes atop Red Square’s St. Basil’s Cathedral: Private interests that closed deals with Vladimir Putin and his agents ‐ thanks to then‐secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s public favors ‐ gave the Clinton Foundation between $152 million and $173 million.
