[JackOfNoTrades]

What is it that Durham was supposed to be doing again?..oh yeah, wasting our money on a snipe hunt.
He's got a shitty track record.

Yes that was quite the boondoggle

The Durham investigation ended with a wimper. Another waste of time as the Russian "hoax" wasn't.

"A federal jury acquitted Russian analyst Igor Danchenko on four counts of lying to the FBI in its investigation of Christopher Steele's dossier about Donald Trump, and MSNBC's Steve Benen said jurors noticed that Durham's case was thin, at best."

"By any fair measure, this is the most embarrassing and inconsequential special counsel investigation in the modern history of American law enforcement," Benen wrote. "But the humiliation is not limited to the prosecutor. Every once in a while, Trump still blurts out Durham’s name, hoping the prosecutor might yet bolster some of the former president’s conspiracy theories. As regular readers may recall, the Republican has even suggested at times that Durham’s probe could serve as a possible vehicle for retaliating against his perceived enemies."

"Durham's probe, which was marked by periods of apparent inactivity, resulted in two trials, zero convictions, one resignation and a a largely meaningless guilty plea from an obscure figure, Benen wrote, and failed to deliver proof of the vast conspiracy theory Trump sketched out."

Great news. The investigation into Trumpys' alleged criminal activity was totally justified. We need to investigate his influence on the DOJ further, for example, did he influence the appointment of Durham or his charge?

I know this is a waste of my time, but if you were only honest for once in your life, if you actually went to other news sources and read the facts of the lies, crimes, illegal spying warrants, the collusion between Russian agents and the DNC and the DOJ and the FBI, et al. ---- maybe, just maybe, it might prick your conscience enough to at least admit silently to yourself "how shameful and corrupt is your party and the mainstream media, and this is truly bad for America."

What "other news sources" are you talking about???? FOX News??? Breitbart???? Gateway Pundit???? Do you have a single source for your beliefs that can pass a fact check test??? Why do you think all of Trump's lawyers are now being disbarred for misleading the courts???

There was no collusion between the DNC and the Russians. The Dossier, which you claim the Democrats "colluded" on, was purchased as an "arm's length transaction". NOBODY from the DNC knew who was carrying out the research, or what he was doing.

The DNC lawyers handled all dealings with the research organization, without disclosing who the client was or being told who was doing the research. The research organization handled all dealings with Christopher Steele. Steele handled all dealings with the sources.

CROSSFIRE FAILURE: Yet another MAGA bombshell to own the libs defused by TRUTH

Why was Hillary not indicted for destroying congress subpoenaed evidence, an illegal server no less?
How does Lois Lerner and IRS get away with destroying 5 hard drives, subpoenaed by congress, and no one is charged?
How does does Hunter Biden escape justice and Joe, all before the election? (No evidence, again?)
And we do not need Durham to convince us at least a dozen DNC FBI DOJ subversives committed crimes against the state of the highest order. Duh.

There have been enough turncoats on Trump, strange backdowns of investigations of murders, "suicides," and lies about others that to think another DC luminary like Durham was not also feeling to go against “the deep state” would be fatal one way or another is not hard to conceive. They committed major crimes, that much is fact. . And once again, no charges. . . A five year pattern.

Because it never happened. The subpoena was issued three months AFTER the Clinton told her staff to clean the server of all personal emails.

Lois Lerner is a Republican. There is no evidence that the IRS was acting improperly or illegally. It is illegal for non-profits to engage in political actions or endorsements. The IRS was correct in seeking additional information, before issuing tax-free status to these groups.

IRS Targeting Scandal: Citizens United, Lois Lerner And The $20M Tax Saga That Won't Go Away

In 2013, Acting Director of Exempt Organizations at IRS, Lois Lerner, apologized to tax lawyers for the IRS's inappropriate targeting of political groups. Her comments set off a chain of events that would fire officials and consider impeachment proceedings for IRS Commissioner Koskinen's actions.

It was the way she chose applications for verification that was the entire issue. Instead of randomizing the selection she focused on certain words in the names of the organizations that she thought might indicate that they were more politically active than others.

It did bring out the flaw in the system that both parties still ignore. These tax exempt organization are by law not suppose to engage in any politicking at all, but by rule (sneaky, sneaky) are allowed to, they can't spend more than half rule, it is. With all the CU money available neither party is wanting to follow the law, just rule with rules.

Yet at the end of the day, she denied 4 liberal groups licenses and passed all the Tea Party groups. Republicans made a big issue out of the delays and libs shrugged the denials. To this day, the right believes THEIR GROUPS were harmed.

Wow, so CIA man Bill Barr's handpicked asset didn't do anything or hold anyone accountable?
Shocking... to no one with a brain
This was always about cover, delay & distraction, never about actually holding the swamp to any standards of law or decency.

It's sad you applaud this as the country is torn down for parts

BULLSHIT!!! This was yet another example of Republicans accusing Democrats of wrong doing, and illegal activities on no evidence, and then spending millions of taxpayer dollars trying to find any proof that the Democrats did the things Republicans accuse them of having done.

Thirty years and over $100 million dollars investigating the Clintons, and not one charge against ANYONE. But you still think the Clintons are criminals and they "got away with it".

Trump claimed that Obama and Clinton "spied" on his campaign. Bill Barr and Durham went around the world looking for evidence. They couldn't even find a crime that was committed. And they never got close to filing charges against any senior members of the FBI, CIA or Obama Administration.

It appears that the only way that Republicans can runn for office these days is to claim that Democrats are criminals. It’s not the Democrats that are going to jail.

I was going to search the archives for facts, testimonies, documenting DNC DOJ, et al. criminal activities with Russian collusion spying, as well as the IRS Lois Lerner scandal where they even admit to their illegal activities, but it's a waste of my time and yours. . And you mention Fox, Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, etc. as totally unreliable because you must have found a few pearls to reference over the years. . Which is all your side ever needs to discredit an enemy altogether --- which is totally disingenuous, somethin your side is used to. So believe as you wish. . But I did call up one, for the record.

Because it never happened. The subpoena was issued three months AFTER the Clinton told her staff to clean the server of all personal emails.

December 2014 / January 2015 – Heather Samuelson and Cheryl Mills request emails be deleted from their computer using BleachBit
December 2014 / January 2015 – “Unknown Clinton staff member” instructs PRN to remove archives of Clinton emails from PRN server
March 2, 2015 – NYT releases an article showing that Hillary used a personal email server in violation of State Department rules
March 4, 2015 – Hillary receives subpoena from House Select Committee on Benghazi instructing her to preserve and deliver all emails from her personal servers
March 25, 2015 – Undisclosed PRN Staff Member has a conference call with “President Clinton’s Staff”
March 25 – 31, 2015 – Undisclosed PRN Staff Member has “oh shit” moment and realizes he forgot to wipe Hillary’s email archive from the PRN server back in December…which he promptly does using BleachBit despite later admitting he “was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton’s e-mail data on the PRN server.”
June 2016 – FBI discovers that Undisclosed PRN Staff Member forgot to erase 940 emails from the gmail account he created to help with the PRN server upload
