Peter Van Buren gives his thoughts on the conclusion of the Mueller probe, which after two years of non-stop reporting has shown just how few honest journalists are left. Nobody should be surprised by the deep state, he says, after seeing how many times they’ve lied to the American people and gotten the media to carry water for them. Scott and Van Buren are not optimistic that anything will change.
