The quest to prove collusion is crumbling

While everyone is fixated on President Donald Trump’s unbecoming and inexplicable assault on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the media have been trying to sneak away from the “Russian collusion” story.

That’s right. For all the breathless hype, the on-air furrowed brows and the not-so-veiled hopes that this could be Watergate, Jared Kushner’s statement and testimony before Congress have made Democrats and many in the media come to the realization the collusion they were counting on just isn’t there.

As the date of Kushner’s testimony approached, the media thought they were going to advance and refresh the story.

But Kushner’s clear, precise and convincing account of what really occurred during the campaign and after the election has left many of Trump’s loudest enemies trying to quietly back out of the room, unnoticed.
