Much has been made of the accusation that a so called 'deep state' was in operation and that a 'soft coup' was in progress to remove a duly elected president from office. Both sides of this argument it would now appear were wrong. There was never any possibility that this would happen not legally or by any other means. The final nail in the coffin was the Mueller report.
What was the real agenda?
Legal analyst Andrew C. McCarthy explains it in this article in
National Review.
Quote:
This is an exquisitely planned political campaign.
Russiagate has always been a political narrative masquerading as a federal investigation. Its objective, plain and simple, has been twofold: first, to hamstring Donald Trump’s capacity to press the agenda on which he ran ... and ultimately, to render him unelectable come autumn 2020.

It had to be obvious to Robert Mueller in 2017 that there was no collusion by Trump or his campaign. Why did we have to wait until April 2019 to find this out? Why no leak or better still an announcement by Mueller to that effect? Would the American public have not been better served to know this as soon as posible? The reason is becoming clearer as to why.
Quote:
It would be perfectly appropriate for all anti-Trump partisans to make the public case that the president should be removed from office.
But the anti-Trump partisans are not going that route. They know they’d lose by a humiliating margin that would strengthen the president.
Instead, they are perverting the criminal-justice process they claim Trump has obstructed. With the transparently eager cooperation of Mueller’s team, they intimate that the president could have been charged and would have been convicted. They suggest that, although not charged, he has not been “exonerated,” effectively imposing on him the burden to establish his innocence.

The suspicion that the out going Obama administration used the power of the Federal government and its law inforcement and intellegence agencies improperly against their political opposites is becoming clear. And we are only beginning to find out the true scope of this operation.
Quote:
The Russia counterintelligence probe, based on the fraudulent projection of a Trump-Putin conspiracy, was always a pretext to conduct a criminal investigation despite the absence of a predicate crime. The criminal investigation, in turn, was always a pretext for congressional impeachment chatter. And the congressional impeachment chatter is a pretext for the real agenda: Making Trump an ineffective president now, and an un-reelectable president 18 months from now.
They try to make it look like law. It has always been politics.
