"It was a conspiracy that Fox News portrayed as one of the greatest — if not the greatest — political scandals in American history," says CNN's Oliver Darcy. "Tucker Carlson called it a 'domestic spying operation' that was "hidden under the pretext of national security." Laura Ingraham characterized top Obama administration officials as having been 'exposed.' And Sean Hannity flatly declared it to be the 'biggest abuse of power, corruption scandal' the country had ever seen. That was back in May. This week, however, the conspiracy theory collapsed when The Washington Post reported that a Justice Department investigation into the supposed scandal quietly ended with no charges."
