Ten years ago this week, a third-world-style coup attempt was underway against President-elect Donald Trump.

Russiagate snowballed for years, sabotaged his first term, disenfranchised tens of millions of Republican voters, and torpedoed many lives from his original team.

Hundreds fomented the hoax, casting him and his officials as Russian stooges who colluded with Moscow to steal the election. Throughout history, such coup plotters would have already been imprisoned for crimes like conspiracy, deprivation of rights, and obstruction of justice.

Yet despite promises for accountability, Russiagate went unpunished. This led to more lawfare.

Soon after the Russiagate collusion hoax was debunked by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report in 2019, the FBI launched Operation Round River.

It was another bogus investigation, this time regarding allegations of corruption against then-former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter over financial ties to Burisma, a major Ukrainian natural gas company. However, instead of researching the claims, the investigators targeted those who were — top Trump officials and Republicans in Congress. The FBI wrongly classified them as conduits for Russian disinformation and then leaked that smear to the media.

Like Russiagate, it went on for years without punishment.
