Miranda Devine: We’re still learning the full rot of the Russiagate scandal

Robert Mueller is dead, but his toxic legacy lives on in the destroyed lives of the innocent victims targeted by the Russia collusion probe that bears his name.

To understand why President Trump had no kind words for the former FBI director when he died over the weekend at age 81, you have to understand the human toll on the president and dozens of his friends and allies.

Who knows whether Mueller, who had Parkinson’s, was in command of all his faculties when he was appointed special counsel at age 72? But the deep state evildoers on his team knew exactly what they were doing when they used his formerly prestigious reputation to pervert the course of justice for their “Get Trump” frolic. 

In the end, the Mueller gang found no Russian collusion by the Trump campaign, but they crippled Trump’s first presidency anyway, and their witch hunt continued through the Biden administration and even into last year, through covert surveillance, subpoenas, debanking and crippling legal costs that were incurred even without charges being brought.

Independent journalist Catherine Herridge’s searing interview with longtime Trump ally Michael Caputo last week gives you a glimpse into the Kafkaesque nightmare he endured at the hands of Mueller and his henchmen, such as Andrew Weissman, Brandon Van Grack, Zainab Ahmad, Aaron Zelinsky and Walter Giardina.

The FBI investigation into Caputo only ended after he made a personal appeal to Trump last December, he says.
