Durham investigation ends after three years of searching, $40 million spent, and nothing found

[MontyPython]

"On May 13, 2019, then-Attorney General Bill Barr let it be known that at Donald Trump’s “request,” he was conducting an investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation. To conduct this investigation, Barr appointed his very own special prosecutor, U.S. Attorney John Durham. For the next three-and-a-half years, Republicans made confident predictions that “Bull” Durham was going to be the man to finally “lock ‘er up.” Surely Durham, unleashed with no deadline, budgetary limit, or constraint on where he looked, would prove conclusively that every conspiracy theory pushed by Trump was true.

But after more than three years and more than $40 million spent, Durham managed to produce just a single charge: accusing Democratic-linked attorney Michael Sussmann of lying to the FBI for not revealing secondhand connections to Hillary Clinton’s campaign when talking to them about Donald Trump’s Russia dealings. In May, a jury found Sussman not guilty of the ridiculous charge."

Not "nothing", I heard one fbi guy got exonerated. Most probably a spy.

Lol, a DC jury did not convict. Talking about a hack job. It was a complete crap jury. Any DC jury will never convict a communist

Wonder why Durham didn't bring additional charges against others?

New Durham Bombshell: FBI Paid Russian accused of lying as a confidential informant against Trump

Prosecutor says Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the discredited Steele dossier, was paid by FBI as confidential human source for three years despite prior concerns he was tied to Russian intelligence services.

In a bombshell revelation, Special Prosecutor John Durham revealed Tuesday in court filings that the FBI paid a Russian businessman as a confidential human source in the investigation of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign even though it had prior concerns that businessman was tied to Moscow's intelligence services.

Durham persuaded the federal judge in the upcoming trial of Igor Danchenko to unseal a motion revealing that Danchenko, the primary source of the now-discredited Steele dossier, was paid by the FBI as a confidential human source for more than three years until the fall of 2020 when he was terminated for lying to agents.

Danchenko is charged with five counts of lying to the bureau during that relationship and faces trial next month in federal court in the Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C.

And if the trial were held in a Red State, he would be convicted in every one. Therein lies the problem.

The purpose of the Durham investigation was to discover and probably destroy evidence against the govt. Nobody promised draining the swamp would be easy.

 

[C-south]

Wonder why Durham didn't bring additional charges against others?

Probably likes living.

 

[evillawyer]

Hearing the Durham report will be quite short. Maybe just one sentence

Who did you think was going to drain it? Surely you didn't think Trump was or did?

 

[C-south]

Wonder if the “big guy” got his 10%?

So like everything "found" between Trump and Russia collision.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Durham should just leak his findings and innocently proclaim "That's how we are doing it now right?"

Obviously

The evidence was overwhelming. They had Clinton donors on the jury. The red state would be way more objective

What evidence?

We’d still believe the FBI was an honest LE agency and would never known about their collusion with Russian agents if Clinton had won.

It’ll take an outsider like Trump cause that swamp ain’t draining itself.

Donald Trump had never held public office before, but that by itself, didn't make him an outsider.

Donald Trump's cabinet appointments, his embrace of lobbyists, and his weaponization of the DOJ, made it very clear that "draining the swamp" was never an objective of his. Donald Trump simply wanted to remove corrupt bureaucrats who favored the left, so he could replenish the swamp with corrupt bureaucrats who favored the right. Donald Trump didn't drain anything.

The reality is, Donald Trump didn't mind conflicts of interest, self-enrichment scandals, misappropriations of public funds, the wasteful spending of tax-payer dollars, or the buying and selling of influence by public officials; nor did he have a problem with the DOJ targeting his political opponents ... just as long as the swamp creatures were serving him, and his petty, vindictive and egotistical needs and ambitions, Donald Trump was fine with there being a full swamp.

If you were naive enough to believe that Donald Trump was going to clean up "politics as usual in D.C.", then I would bet that you also believed that Mexico was going to pay for a new stretch of border wall.

Yada yada yada, yellow dog. Go watch 1/6 committee highlights & The View

This forum is constantly trying to make Donald Trump out to be a crusader for the morally strong, but forgotten, middle class workers of rural America. Trump has never been any such thing. He was merely adept at identifying a segment of disaffected Republican voters who would be most susceptible to his transparent manipulation. The Trump freak show has given uneducated miscreants, a place to fit in. It is on display in this forum every day. Through Trump, you feel like you know the secret handshake. There is a profoundly pathetic element at work here. You people are sad.

The Mueller investigation into Russian Collusion spent 18 months and $40mil to find none because it was all a lie in the beginning and they knew it. Durham has exposed that the FBI did pay a Russian informant to lie, that Clinton and Obama knew of the scheme in the beginning.

This is gold BB, pure gold. I know you want Trump to run again, not because it gives Dems a chance, but because it gives you purpose. Admit it, you love you some Trump.
