Ten post-Mueller questions that could turn the tables on Russia collusion investigators

From the erudite John Solomon at The Hill: "It must answer, in balanced terms, whether the FBI was warranted in using the most awesome powers in the U.S. intelligence arsenal to spy on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign at the end of the 2016 election.

Investigators must determine, with neutrality, whether the bureau improperly colluded with paid agents of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s campaign — Fusion GPS and its British operative, Christopher Steele — and then tried to hide those political ties and other evidence from the nation’s secret intelligence court.


For the likes of FBI castoffs James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, or Obama-era intelligence bosses John Brennan and James Clapper, there will be the additional uncomfortable reality that the Russia collusion narrative that they so publicly weaved through testimony, TV appearances, for-profit books and leaks, turned out to be as unsubstantiated as the Loch Ness monster.

The process of meting out accountability has begun."

One can only hope, but given that Congressional hearings are little more than expensive farce for their own amusement, and accountabilty a word that no one in DC can spell, I don't have a high hope.

The Obama administration was dutifully billed by willing accomplices in media as 'scandal free,' yet evidence after evidence of corruption upon corruption to 'fundamentally transform' America makes it all a pack of wicked lies. The most wicked lie is the two year-plus wretch of the Obama Spygate / Russia Collusion scam which cost taxpayers far more than untold millions of dollars, and left the MSM in ruins, exposed as the hyper-partisan, habitual liars they truly are.

The 10 questions Solomon asks are darn good ones. Whether we get adequate answers - and results - from an honest justice system is another matter altogether.
