John Durham Investigation Ends

The explicit GOAL of the Durham investigation, as stated on the pages 2-3 of the Durham Report, was to investigate CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. 
To meet the standards set by Trump and the RWM, that would mean something like evidence that Obama spied on Trump, or
that the FBI explicitly planned to take Trump down--something that would e.g., decisively refute charges that the FBI had swung the election
to Trump by publicly re-opening the case into Hillary's emails. 

Three people were eventually recommended for criminal prosecution. Two of these, Igor Danchenko and Michael Sussman,
were acquitted by federal juries. The other, Kevin Klinesmith, got a year probation for altering an email used to
extend a FISA warrant on Carter Page. Though to be fair, that info was already uncovered by the IG in 2019, so
maybe not an "accomplishment" of the Durham Report. 

One wonders why sanctioning the prosecution of such unwinnable cases doesn't count as evidence of special counsel "bias," especially when Durham's charge against the FBI of weak factual predication is being used to "prove" FBI bias and cites the obligation not waste taxpayer money and government time on weakly grounded cases. 

So this falls rather short of the Mueller Report, which got 6 convictions, and pointedly refused to exonerate Trump
of obstruction charges, but was declared a "dud" in the RWM--with considerable help from Trump's AG.

The Mueller Report by the way, is obliquely honored in the Durham Report by frequent citation as  precedent and model. 

Also, the Report does seem to agree that the FBI had evidence of potential collusion between Russian and the Trump CAMPAIGN, and was and was obligated to look into it, but concludes that evidence did not warrant launching an investigation into Trump specifically (though it certainly warranted investigation into others of his entourage). 

This is a key finding. To put it simply, no excuse to launch an investigation. Trump was impeached and attacked for years by the liberal media for Russian Collusion, yet once again Trump proven correct, it was a witch by the FBI and the DOJ. Put the shoe on the other foot liberals, what if happened to Biden or the next person the Democrats choose to run the Democratic party. The BS started months prior to the 2016 election and used the lies and disinformation to torch Trump. The liberal medal led the charges.


This is wrong on so many fronts. Trump was correct, the election media coverage allowed for many to vote against him.
