Who Believes in Russiagate?
2018-03-11
[TabletMag] BLUF:
At the same time, there is a growing consensus among reporters and thinkers on the left and right‐especially those who know anything about Russia, the surveillance apparatus, and intelligence bureaucracy‐that the Russiagate-collusion theory that was supposed to end Trump’s presidency within six months has sprung more than a few holes. Worse, it has proved to be a cover for U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement bureaucracies to break the law, with what’s left of the press gleefully going along for the ride. Where Watergate was a story about a crime that came to define an entire generation’s oppositional attitude toward politicians and the country’s elite, Russiagate, they argue, has proved itself to be the reverse: It is a device that the American elite is using to define itself against its enemies‐the rest of the country.

Yep, that's the tip of the iceberg. They got the rest of the iceberg melting somewhere.
