There is a problem pundits face when writing about political scandals. A journalist should describe the alleged crimes in a thorough, complete and impartial manner. Given the nature of politics, however, it is important to also question the motivations of the accusers and those investigating the issue.
For the most part, the media has utterly failed to do so in the ongoing investigation of the alleged collusion with the Russians on the part of the Trump campaign in 2016.
Since Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel ten months ago, he has failed to produce any substantive evidence pointing to “Russian collusion” with the Trump campaign. He has, indeed, failed to do so despite oppressive and highly questionable tactics employed against some individuals who were close to or part of the campaign. Andrew McCarthy, writing for National Review, notes that, rather inadvertently, the recently released Democrat memo reveals that the “FBI and the DOJ relied heavily on uncorroborated, third-hand, anonymous sources in their FISA application… Another major takeaway … is that the FBI and the DOJ withheld from the FISA court the fact that [the information used to authorize the surveillance of the Trump campaign, which is the basis for Mueller’s investigation] was a project of the Clinton campaign.”
Robert Barnes, writing in Law and Crime asks “when will Mueller indict Christopher Steele, FusionGPS, PerkinsCoie, the DNC and the Clinton Campaign?… three things make the Clinton Campaign a potential target: it knew Steele [a former British secret agent] was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its funding of payments to Steele laundered through a law firm as a ‘legal expense.’ Don’t expect such an indictment.”

Sally Persons reported in the Washington Times that “Reps. Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows plan on launching an investigation into the Obama administration to find out what they knew about the dossier that forms the basis of the investigation… ‘The Clinton campaign paid for the dossier. The Democrat National Committee paid for the dossier. And if a Russian oligarch was paying the author of the dossier at the same time, that is unbelievable,’ Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican, said on Fox News.”
Why isn’t Mueller also investigating this?
Bill Gertz, writing in the Washington Times, describes the long-standing immunity the Clintons seem to have when it comes to conspiring with enemy nations. In 1997, Beijing illegally funneled millions of dollars in cash into President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign. “The Chinese were backing a president who had allowed American companies to sell high-technology goods to China that ended up boosting Beijing’s missile, warhead and other advanced weapons programs. The investigation into Chinese illegal campaign influence was triggered by reports in early 1997 that the FBI had intercepted communications from the Chinese Embassy outlining a multiyear campaign known as ‘The Plan’ to change U.S. policy, including helping Mr. Clinton’s reelection by funneling cash to Beijing-linked group Asian Americans for the Democratic National Committee.”
Clinton rewarded Beijing by authorizing the sale of Cray super computers to Beijing, which allowed their military to catch up on decades of military research, and, shortly before he left office, gave China major trade concessions which placed a vast number of American factory workers unemployed. During her tenure as Secretary of State, Ms. Clinton played a significant role in authorizing the sale of American uranium, the basic ingredient of nuclear weapons, to Russia. Large donations to the Clinton Foundation and other cash considerations followed.
The FBI, under Mueller’s tenure, didn’t take action.
