Washington Post still pushing false narrative about Trump and Russia probe

Power Line:
...
Rucker, whose hatred of Trump has made him dishonest, argues that a “turbocharged” Trump is “actively seeking to rewrite the narrative that has been meticulously documented by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials.” But all Rucker shows is that Trump remains furious about being investigated for false claims he colluded with Russia. Who wouldn’t take that badly?

Trump’s lashing out at the Russia investigation and the events that led to it requires no rewriting of a meticulously documented narrative. Despite his meticulousness, Robert Mueller found no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia. It is Rucker who, by trying to create a different impression, is slyly rewriting the documented narrative.

Nor is Trump rewriting a documented narrative when he complains bitterly about the conduct of those who created the phony narrative that led to the Mueller investigation of Trump. The Justice Department’s inspector general has demonstrated misconduct by key “Deep State” players who helped create the phony narrative. The Durham investigation might well show additional misconduct.

Rucker notes that U.S. intelligence agencies long ago concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. But his article doesn’t say Trump is trying to overturn that narrative. Rather, it shows that Trump is rightly claiming victory in overturning the false collusion narrative, and attacking those who put him and some of his associates through a needless and harmful investigation of alleged collusion.

Rucker is pulling the old switcheroo. Hoping to make Trump look bad, he substitutes a narrative that is documented — Russian interference — for the narrative that Trump correctly attacks — collusion.
...
This is typical of the way the Post now covers Trump.  Every story attempts to put an anti-Trump spin out there to feed the angry left which can't get over the fact that Trump won an election.
