Journalists who peddled Russiagate accounts have struggled to cope with Mueller’s deflating findings, but their suffering will likely intensify now that they’ve handed Donald Trump ammunition for his re-election, analysts told RT.
For two years, American media outlets have chanted in unison about President Donald Trump conspiring with the Kremlin.

“The Democrats need to focus on bread and butter issues: healthcare, education, homelessness, infrastructure, but they’ve decided time and again to focus on the secondary issues like Russiagate,” journalist and human rights lawyer Dan Kovalik said. “And if they continue to do so, they do so at their peril.”
“The American people are going to turn against these corrupt insiders and come out in spades in this 2020 election.”
