WATCH: Irrelevant NeverTrumper Bill Kristol Bitterly Clings to RussiaGate Hoax

Irrelevant pundit-turned-leftist cable news darling Bill Kristol is not giving up on the Russiagate conspiracy theory.
Kristol is clinging to the so-called “RussiaGate Hoax” despite the fact that Attorney General P. William Barr has noted that there is no evidence of wrongdoing on behalf of President Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Bill Kristol – an avid Trump hater and known supporter of racist Democratic Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia – joined the Trump-deranged hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to cast doubt upon the conclusion of Barr.
He told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski:
“Yes. Barr is not on the one hand Matthew Whitaker who I think Mueller distrusted as the recipient of the report that he held back until Barr was attorney general. But Barr is also not a totally non-partisan character who doesn’t have an opinion about this whole thing. As you say, we know he had an opinion about it. So I do think we cannot accept Barr’s letter. I don’t say this in any way to say that Barr is behaving illegally or unethically. But we cannot accept Barr’s letter as an accurate or simply a fair summary of the report. And we need to see the report and we need to see it as quickly as possible.”
Kristol has been making conspiratorial suggestions on his Twitter account since Sunday, when Barr submitted his findings.
“This piece on Bill Barr’s unsolicited memo (i.e., job application) from last year on obstruction of justice provides very useful background for his strange ‘determination’ of the matter over the weekend,” he Tweeted.

Since one good conspiracy theory deserves another, Kristol is suggesting that Barr conspired with Trump to become Attorney General for the purpose of spiking the Mueller report.
He also suggested that Barr could not have come to his conclusion such a short amount of time, totally dismissing the idea that Mueller and Barr could have – get this – spoken.
“And what is Barr’s determination based on? His own in depth review of the underlying evidence? Unlikely. A long discussion with Mueller and his team? Unlikely. In fact, Barr writes that his review is ‘ongoing.’ But then how much weight should one give to his ‘determination?’ he asked incredulously.

Some of America’s formerly-respectable pundits, Kristol included, are desperate for Trump to be an asset of a hostile foreign power, all so they don’t have to eat crow for misleading the American public for two years.
While he’s in the mood to contemplate, here’s a question he should ponder: Why should anyone ever take him seriously again?
