As the news moves on, it seems as if there are two different worlds in which Americans live. In the first world, we have the mainstream media telling us all the time about the latest steps in the Mueller investigation of supposed Trump-Russia collusion. To be fair, the Trump-Russia collusion story seems to have completely fallen apart, so Mueller's hit squad is now focused on possible obstruction of justice claims. In this world, Mueller is closing in on Trump (although we still don't know for what) and as a result, the Republicans in Congress are dreaming up crazy attacks on Mueller and his team as well as on the FBI to divert attention and to subvert the investigation. Then there's a seond world. In this world, Congress has uncovered a mess of corruption at the FBI and within Mueller's team. We hear that the FBI and the DOJ and perhaps president Obama himself used the law enforcement mechanisms of the US government to spy on the Trump campaign and transition team. They also leaked all sorts of classified information and private conversations in order to orchestrate a campaign against Trump. It seems that there was an organized effort at the FBI and DOJ at a minimum to overturn the decision of the American people to make Trump the President of the United States. Now, it seems also that these plotters have been working to cover up their treasonous wrongdoing.
So which world is real and which is a fantasy? So far, we've seen some evidence to support the second version, but there really isn't anything that supports the first. The lack of evidence, however, does not seem to matter to the mainstream media and the Democrats; they just talk about overwhelming evidence, but never produce anything. It may well be that we are about to witness the implosion of the main stream media narrative. If so, that implosion will be so disastrous for the Democrats and many government workers, that we may soon see many of them with much bigger problems.
UPDATE: For those who doubt the two worlds thesis, I call this to your attention. On Monday, when the big news was that five and a half months of text messages between Strzok and his mistress Page are supposedly "missing", the total amount of coverage of the story on ABC, NBC and CBS evening news was zero. They didn't cover the story. They didn't report on how messages between two very senior FBI officials who were running an anti-Trump push at the Bureau just happened to be lost. They didn't report on how the messages miraculously were found only for the period starting the day that the special prosecutor was appointed. To call this fishy is an understatement. It looks clearly like destruction of evidence by the FBI. But the networks didn't think it merited coverage. Proof of a like attack by the FBI on the elected president of the USA is destroyed, but CBS, NBC and ABC found other things to cover.
