Peter Van Buren: Russiagate Was All a Lie – March 26, 2019

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.

Peter Van Buren worked for 24 years at the Department of State including a year in Iraq. He is the author of We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People and the novel Hooper’s War. He is now a contributing editor at The American Conservative magazine.
