"The sense of mourning started to take hold over the weekend, after Attorney General William Barr said that Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, had not found coordination between President Trump’s campaign and the Russian government’s election interference in 2016."

Sense of mourning?

Jennifer Taub, a Vermont Law School professor who had become known for punchy anti-Trump columns with titles like “Yes, Collusion. Now What?” said, “There are definitely people who thought that Mueller would save us.”

save?

Ms. Taub said she remained hopeful that Mr. Mueller’s full findings, which have not yet been made public, would somehow contradict the summary given by Mr. Barr.

...

“We just have Barr’s word, and we knew from the beginning that Barr was determined that nothing would happen. I’m pretty sure that’s why he is now the attorney general.”

As we are seeing, the conspiracy theory has shifted to Mr. Barr.

Quote: Over the nearly two years of the Mueller investigation, a segment of liberals and activists built up fervent hopes that it would bring Mr. Trump down.

Just like how some on the right were overly eager/reliant on X, Y, or Z to take down Obama/Clinton, there were similarly some on the left that viewed Mueller as this weird savior-type figure that was going to take down Trump. There was a whole ecosystem that lived of it as a sort of anti-media to the Limbaugh - idiots like Louise Mensch who suggested that Banon was going to receive the death penalty.

Damn big segment. pretty loud too.

Did Schiff lie when he said the evidence was clear? Do you condone that style f character assassination?

Not sure which Clinton you mean. If you mean Bill, everybody knows he was guilty but saved by partisan votes in the Senate. If you mean Hillary, she was saved by preferential treatment in the investigation.

Trump was cleared by an independent investigation staffed mostly by Democrats.

I wasn't aware any charges had been brought on Obama, but the evidence is clear that he favored Russia more during his terms than Trump has during his half term.
