Two Good Russia Hoax Reads For Today

Neither of these two articles are news, exactly, but both are shrewd commentary and both deal with the current state of play in the Russia Hoax on the Dem side. The narrative has collapsed and current events make its collapse ever more apparent. Indeed, the collapse is increasingly dangerous for the Dems themselves, who look to be caught in the house of cards as it comes crashing down.

Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst, points out in Mueller, Dems Scramble as Russiagate Falls Apart that the entire Russia Hoax is collapsing.

Perhaps the most damning of the two came last Monday, when it was disclosed that, on July 1, Judge Dabney Friedrich ordered Mueller to stop pretending he had proof that the Russian government was behind the Internet Research Agency’s supposed attempt to interfere via social media in the 2016 election. ...
