Greenwald is right.
Trump had plans to move into the Russian real estate market, as he has done in dozens of countries. He was also rightly proposing detente with Russia.
The US establishment, very pissed off with Putin due to him standing against their warmongering, claimed Putin hacked the DNC, and gave Assange the data.
Clinton, the US establishment's pick to channel their extremist, genocidal American Exceptionalist ideology, lost.
She and the DNC needed people to blame for her loss to a simpleton, to deflect from her woeful campaign.
The US establishment needed to stop Trump from creating better relations with Russia.
And so Russiagate - the conspiracy theory that Trump colluded with Putin in the alleged 'election interference' - was born.
Despite the vast resources at Mueller's disposal he failed to prove that this conspiracy theory was in fact true.
And if it was true he'd have got the evidence, because some people would have talked, knowing that lying to Mueller would land them in the slammer, as was the case for many who lied during the investigation, though not about anything related to collusion, of course.
Now everyone knows that Trump, like Clinton is a crooked gangster. He may well have made millions from a Trump Tower in Moscow, but the fact is it didn't happen, and he'll only gain from the Democrats continuing to flog this dead Russiagate horse.
I'm sure it's fun though, for those into that kind of thing, trying to piece together the desired picture from the scraps of info out there, and the lies, and no doubt there's still plenty of frustrated Russiagaters out there to keep buying Seth's books (I bet there's at least three more), but it'll not lead to anything but more frustration, more money for Seth, and potentially four more years of Trump.
