Soros Outspent Russia in 2016 Election

It doesn't look like Russia put up a whole lot of money in their attempts to "overthrow" the 2016 presidential elections.

Taking out ads of Facebook? Hell, any startup marketing group does that. Did they also put up posters at the local supermarkets and store windows downtown? They could have got one of those auto-dial phone machines that ring you up and plays a political message. They could've gotten that pretty cheap too.

But it's another thing entirely to throw millions of dollars at leftist political action groups and well known radical immigrant organizations. Soros money paid for real television and radio advertising during the campaign. And then there is the expense of keeping a professional mob of anarchists on the payroll. They can eat you out of house and home.

But old baggy-eyed Soros has the money, the time and the desire so it's no big deal to him. His aim was, as it is today, to undermine our system of government because it seems he makes the most money out of chaos and fear. What can you say, it seems to pay real well.

So why aren't we hearing about Soros "meddling" in the 2016 presidential election? Or anybody else who threw heaping wads o' cash around during the election?

Oh yeah, that's right, George Soro's money and efforts were going towards making Hillary Clinton president. Well THAT certainly can't be a crime.

And I almost forgot about the Koch brothers who also spent mightily for the same purpose of stopping that scourge of the status quo in American government, now president, Donald Trump.

So how did all this work out for them?

They got BUPKISS, didn't they, for all the Kajillions of dollars laid out during the run up to the 2016 election. And it didn't amount to a hill of beans for Hillary even though the fix was in to screw Brother Bernie for the Democratic nomination. No collusion there either. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

No, the only crime one can commit, you, me, Russia etc is to be found backing Donald J. Trump for president. That has proven to be a brazen act worthy of a special investigator. Isn't one of the "indictments" related to Russian "operatives" talking down Hillary during the campaign?

Who wasn't doing that?

How absurd this has all become. Anyone has a right to buy an ad on a media site. It's not a crime to back a candidate or to slander another, even if Donald Trump told them to do it. Hillary told Debbie Wasserman-Shultz to screw Bernie Sanders. Does that count? Bill Clinton told then U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch that she could stay on as AG under a Hillary Clinton presidency as long as she doesn't get too nosey. Does THAT count? How about all the money the Chinese government gave to Bill Clinton in 1996? Or his big dollar "lecture tour" in Russia?

Never mind, why do I even bother?

All these efforts, like Soros, the Kochs, the Russians, were all but faint cries in the vast howling windstorm of American Presidential Politics. Nobody cared who was doing what since the lines were drawn way earlier than Media or Money could alter.

All the candidates are in the public domain and enjoy no protections. Any organization, any company and any individual can say anything they want about them. It's our highest law.

So can't we end this soon?

Mueller Trying to Save Face

Well, he has to indict SOMEBODY. He's got nothing or it would have been leaked by now.

So, lacking evidence, Mr. Mueller does what special investigators who have burned through millions of taxpayer dollars have done in the past when they're looking to back their way out of an unwinnable situation: Indict a bunch of people who he can't get at, never interviewed and who most likely never set foot in this country to date. How daring! How bold! How time worn!

It would be great fun if some of these Russian dudes decided to come to the U.S. to contest the charges. What would Mueller do then? How can buying an ad be a crime? They could just hold up a picture of George Soros at the trial and walk out of court free men.

Or maybe Mueller will decide to grant these Russian defendants amnesty if they tell all they know about their relationship with Donald Trump. That should take 2 minutes.

The Real Shame

The real sad part of this whole affair is that a chance of a thaw in U.S./Russian relations has been set back yet again, this time by this media induced Russian conspiracy theory that was cooked up solely to throw shade on a Trump presidency.

What a total waste.
