The conclusion of the Russiagate investigation, led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, was a pivotal media watershed moment. Even at the time of this writing there is a great deal of what might be called “journalistic froth” as opinion makers and analysts jostle to make their takes on this known to the world.

As Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation continued to turn up scanty or no evidence, he thought it might be a good idea to cook it up himself. In mid February, he released indictments against 13 Russian citizens and three Russian companies, charging them with ‘conspiracy to defraud the United States’ through ‘information warfare’, allegedly conducted through funding Russian ‘trolls’ to capitalize on polarizing political issues to promote Trump’s presidential candidacy while detracting that of Hillary’s, thus interfering in the 2016 US presidential elections.

Instead they claim that President Trump’s tweets apparently confirming that he was under investigation were provoked entirely by the report in the Washington Post.
This was always a possibility and here is what I said about that previously
