Russiagate failing?

[Joseph Tracy]

I sincerely hope the Mueller investigation exposes enough criminality to bring down Trump, but has this media focus on Russia worked?

Trump is again rising in the polls, despite months of allegations about collusion with Russia. His more provable collusion with Saudi Arabia, Israel etc. has not been challenged by MSM. His personal profiteering has not been pursued by the media in any depth. The tax breaks for the rich seem to be politics as usual, toturer heading CIA is aided by Democrats. Still no solid evidence of criminal collusion with Russian state.

The Clinton machine and Democratic party machine tried to pin her widespread failure to build popular support on Russia rather than address the failures of the Democratic leadership.  They got press help, but despite a year and a half of russiagate Trump is growing in popularity.  

The largest problems we face have been created with bipartisan support and no puniishment for criminal behavior: Military budgets and failed wars are destroying domestic investment and citizen rights, Ignoring climate change continues with enormous costs to all but banks and vulture capitalists, The economy is rigged and predatory and the trillion dollar criminality of the housing scam was rewarded rather than punished, basic health issues like water safety go un addressed, neither party is fighting for single pay healthcare,  the livable wage issue is ignored by both parties,  police racism and  race based mortgage discrimination is rampant in blue and red states, state surveillance goes unchalleged, both heroin and oxycontin are taking thousands of lives with no concerted party effort to stop it, the press continues to pimp for every war, bribery is legal and both parties vote with big money interests, Israel is murdering unarmed Gazans with bipartisan support. I could go on.
