This latest indictment of Steele's main source is finally provoking some self-examination and self-critique from key media outlets behind the Russiagate fraud, including this tentative but still significant concession from the @washingtonpost:https://t.co/wpAzbnOtgq

David Corn, Mike Isikoff and Frank Foer were used to launch a gigantic fraud and deranged conspiracy theory that drowned US politics for the next 4 years and which virtually every corporate outlet obsessively ratified. The clear truth is now emerging about how fraudulent this was

1/ Now that Christopher Steele's main source was just indicted for lying to FBI, media outlets are pretending it was never important to them, just a weird thing BuzzFeed did that had nothing to do with their "reporting about" Trump/Russia for which they gave themselves Pulitzers.

3/ But ultimately, when it comes to the Russiagate fraud, these 2 overarching facts will never go away.
1) Mueller closed his probe after 18 months and charged *zero* Americans with criminally conspiring with Russia: ZERO on the core crime.
2) He wrote this in his Final Report: pic.twitter.com/uU4eqB1vJH

5/ The same month Mueller closed his investigation, John Brennan (CIA/MSNBC) was promising liberals arrests were coming for the Trump family for conspiring with Russia. Never happened.
Same thing now with 1/6: ZERO indictments for sedition, insurrection, trying to kidnap AOC etc

6/ The audience of these liberal corporate outlets (not NYT or WPost but the cable networks and the online digital liberal outlets) is disappearing rapidly. You can only keep your cult for so long by repeatedly promising a Doomsday date that never comes.https://t.co/GEbhUuA1Uu
