Today, tomorrow and forever the buzz phrase is 'not exonerated' and Barr let it in his summary when negative comments against those not indicted where not supposed to be in the report.
They had to say they had no proof, but they also had create their media cloud. What a hack job.
“Without GOP support on his flanks POTUS can’t engage Obama and his media guard.”
‘not exonerated’... “they also had to create their media cloud.”
It sure looks like the Left will continue with the same lie campaign, unabated.
But it was already wearing thin, before the Mueller report. Polls had gradually trended against the Dems on the credibility of the charge. The fundamental origin of the whole thing being found to be baseless is a major blow to their credibility.
“Now its my turn” will likely establish the basis of the whole thing was not just a mistake, but a deliberate fraud.
The grinding away of their credibility is a significant political accomplishment - once lost, it is very difficult to regain. Many people’s conversion toward conservatism starts when they first notice previously trusted sources (like media) deliberately misleading them. Once you are alert to it, you start seeing it a lot. Folks use the reference of taking the red pill from the move The Matrix.
The President now seems to have better leadership in the DoJ/FBI to investigate and prosecute wrongdoing. That is all that is really needed, just for them to function normally. Whether RINOs support the President or not, the magnitude of the Democrat abuses and lying carry great potential weight of their own, if the Justice system simply functions normally.
It really is a much greater abuse to illegally use the full capabilities of the intelligence community against your rival campaign, than to send a few individuals into their campaign headquarters in the Watergate, to peek into their files.
This situation is serious enough, and has been loud enough for long enough, to make more of a difference to Democrat/media credibility than almost anything else in a long time. At risk is the very media power to mislead that you reference. All that is needed is a few percentage points of shift on the margin, to turn a close election into a Post-Watergate style landslide.
