OPINION:
Slowly the facts known in 2016 are being exposed to the public. Members of the executive branch knew the false “Steele dossier” used against then-candidate Donald Trump was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign. The critical damage of the conspiracy was the expense to the taxpayers of the meritless Mueller investigation, two partisan impeachments of former President Trump and the harsh treatment of Mr. Trump’s family, staff and supporters by the Mueller and executive branch investigators.
Yet the four wasted years of the Russia hoax was not enough for the Democrats, who are now using the same model for the Jan. 6, 2021, “insurrection” hearings in the House. Most damaging is the realization that the “alphabet agencies,” the FBI, CIA and DOJ, colluded with the Democrats to support Hillary Clinton — and a president and vice president were aware of the facts and did nothing.
