Where's the (Evidence) Beef?

I waited and waited for the so called evidence to show up, but it didn't make sense that the conspirators wouldn't show it if they had it. After all that time, what were those folks pretending to have? Are they embarrassed yet at their advocacy for facts that never were true, never were really close to being true ...

The history of this country's government is riddled with abuses of power, but living through this one is more sobering than reading or remembering what happened 25 or 50 years ago.

It taped calls between incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Russia’s ambassador. The transcripts showed no wrongdoing — yet high officials used leaks to engineer Flynn’s exit. Newly released documents even suggest that Obama knew of the plot and (at least) didn’t object to the idea of hiding it from the Trump folks.
The farce continued for years under special counsel Robert Mueller. His team blackmailed Flynn into pleading guilty to lying to the FBI with threats to prosecute his son. Insiders leaked juicy tidbits to virulently anti-Trump media to stoke false notions of a Trump-Russia conspiracy — even though the FBI had nothing.
Trump foes like Rep. Adam Schiff and ex-intel honchos James Clapper and John Brennan fueled the hysteria: Even last year, Schiff insisted he’d seen “ample evidence of collusion.” Yet, as Barr noted, there was never any basis to the narrative.
