Dick Morris reports... Suppose they gave a scandal and nobody came? That’s an apt summary of the problem facing Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller as he investigates something that never happened — Russia’s collusion with Donald Trump to fix the election!

Mueller can’t find evidence of something that never happened, and the media is moving on. The special prosecutor biggest discovery is that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort twisted like a contortionist to hide tens of millions that he made over the past two decades working for the corrupt past president of Ukraine.

That work had nothing to do with Trump, and took place years before Manafort worked for him. Mueller also found that ambitious George Papadopoulos followed the trail of a professor who said he had dirt on Clinton, and he alerted several Trump campaign people. That’s all — after five months and tens of millions of dollars!

Now the special prosecutor will do anything to stay relevant and on the air. His irrelevant side show has been largely left behind, with Washington’s scandal machine having moved on to investigating Hillary Clinton’s approval of the sale to Russia of 20% of America’s uranium — after a Kremlin-controlled bank paid Bill Clinton the grand sum of $500,000 for a speech.

More threatening to Mueller, the media is now asking why he, as FBI director, didn't report the Bureau’s knowledge of Russia’s bribes and extortion to get control of the uranium. The loss of center stage — and the threat of the Russia investigation doubling back on him — has led Mueller to precipitate action in indicting Manafort.

Mueller needed to do something to regain the spotlight. But closer to home, the Republicans in Congress are asking nasty questions about how much money Mueller is spending. They also want to know when his investigation will end, and why he is running around indicting people for things that Trump had nothing to do with that happened a decade ago?

You see, Mueller’s appropriation is up for review. While he is not funded by Congressional action, he draws his money from a Treasury Department fund. Every four months, he has to account for how much he has spent and on what. To make his report look good, he needed to get some scalps to hang on his wall by indicting Manafort.

Republicans in the House are now introducing amendments to the budget to limit the time and scope of his investigation. They may be about to close him down. So he needed to move and move fast to regain center stage. Hence, the indictments.

You may ask: What does all this have to do with Donald J. Trump? Answer: Not a damn thing. It's all about a prosecutor using his power to find a juicy story of corruption by a top Swamp operative — and then crowing about it to earn his budget renewal.
