‘Collusion’ vs. Collusion
One can lie about “collusion†with impunity. But to speak the truth about collusion is to be smeared as “xenophobic,†“racist,†and “nativist.â€

Historians will dissect the origins and spread of the mass hysteria of Russian “collusion.â€
The farce infected the media. It discredited the Democratic Party. And it warped the popular culture between 2015 and 2020.
“Collusion†destroyed what was left of respect for the Washington FBI, the CIA, and the liberal news media. When 50 former “intelligence†officers can attest, right before the election, that the Hunter Biden scandal emails are likely Russian disinformation designed to help Trump, then there is nothing much left of the reputation of our once best and brightest.
There are many theories of the origins of “collusion.†Some believe that Hillary Clinton, and her firewalls of the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS that hired Christopher Steele, simply sought a cover counter-narrative to hide her own illegally transmitted and received State Department emails and spin-off scandals.
At the time “collusion†took off, Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton were on the tarmac in Phoenix, sexual deviate Anthony Weiner’s wife was emailing with Hillary Clinton, and copies ended up on Anthony’s lurid laptop. The hacked DNC computers and all proof of supposed Russian “collusion†culprits had been mysteriously turned over by the FBI to the Clinton-friendly firm, Crowdstrike, for recovery of lost files.
There were other catalysts for the “collusion†mythology. By 2015, Democrats were embarrassed their Russian “reset†love fest had blown up in its face. Finger-wagging about human rights to a thug like Vladimir Putin—while being terrified of selling offensive weapons to beleaguered Ukraine—was a “talk-loudly-while-carrying-a-twig†prescription for disastrous humiliation.
