Just as we thought the bombshell was about to explode, the noose was tightening, the walls were closing in and we had reached the investigative tipping point, all according to anonymous sources close to the investigation, the final determination is no collusion with Russians from the president or his campaign.
Here are 10 things we picked up along the way during the phony Russian collusion hubbub.
1. Robert Mueller, despite hiring some unsavory attorneys, honestly admitted he and his investigators could not find evidence of election interference with Russians from Donald Trump or his campaign.
2. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan are proven liars, misleading the media and citizenry and consistently put politics over country.
3. Corruption exists in the Department of Justice with several top officials terminated, demoted and others deserving prosecution.
4. We have a two-tier justice system in the United States.
5. Carter Page with the Trump campaign was violated by the Department of Justice who severely abused the FISA warrant process to covertly upend a presidential candidate.
6. Democrats in Congress would like to see obstruction of justice charges related to obstructing the prosecution of a crime that never occurred.
7. FBI records show the phony dossier used to obtain FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign was funded by the Clinton campaign and dossier author Christopher Steele had a noted bias against Donald Trump.
8. FBI documents show that agents were kept from pursuing Hillary Clinton on violating federal law on classified documents and communication.
9. The majority of the media reporting using “anonymous sources close to the investigation” were incorrect.
10. According to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, top federal law enforcement officials actually discussed a soft coup of the President of the United States using the 25th Amendment.
When the political left moves on colluding against candidates — as they did against Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary — and subvert elections by using federal government intelligence agencies to spy on political campaigns, the stability of our nation is in jeopardy.
When directors Clapper, Brennan and Comey can lie, even under oath, and not be prosecuted while those lured into the Mueller investigation perjury traps like General Michael Flynn ($5 million in legal fees and forced to give up) face the full brunt of the law, we are empowering an oppressive element willing to destroy any American citizen in this country willing to take a stand against tyrannical interests wanting to destroy our personal liberties.
Attempts to overthrow fair elections in this country using the 25th Amendment, left-leaning courts or any other means should be met with determined resistance.
If we continue to allow a two-tier system of justice in this country, disorder and turmoil will follow. The future for our children and grandchildren will be compromised.
Even though there are activists nationally and here in Fayette County ready to attempt to embarrass and discredit you for what you believe and your taking a stand, we must continue to push back. If you want your descendants to have constitutionally protected liberties, start pushing back now.

I will continue to await the release of Robert Mueller’s report before reaching any conclusion on the activities of Mr. Trump or his associates. So far all that has been released is a short summation by a partisan appointee of the President. Trusting this summation is akin to believing an album review written by the band’s drummer.
We can thank Mr. Mueller for confirming the influence of Russia on the 2016 election and exposing the crimes of Flynn, Manafort, Cohen, and others regardless of what he found or did not find concerning the President.
In short – it is just far too early to form an opinion.
