Spare me the patronizing and read some of the posts in this thread from your right-wing brethren. They are practically wetting themselves with delight over the prospect that it might be proven that Hillary Clinton's campaign spied on Trump.
What a world, indeed.
This is in itself, a partisan vantage point. We are a long way from "actual criminality" having been proven.
Isn't that the lawyer who doctored an e-mail or something? LOL.Clinesmith already pled so Durham has found actual criminal activity directly related to the investigation - that puts him even with Mueller (Papadopolous). 2 more awaiting trial. Who knows how many more indictments may be coming.

Good lord. If you are going to count that, then I'm counting these on the Mueller side as well ....
Lev Parnas found guilty on campaign finance charges - CNNPolitics
Paul Manafort: Here is what the jury found him guilty of

Yes, they were. They all 3 were.none of those were related to the Russia collusion investigation. Papadopolous was the only one and that was lying to the FBI (or some govt agent).
Danchenko and Sussman indicted so far. We'll see if they are more. Already Durham has more fish for the issue under investigation than Mueller.
They were convicted of crimes uncovered during the course of the Mueller probe. You are trying to split hairs.
No... you are splitting hairs. And the Parnas conviction is closely related to what Mueller was investigating.No I'm not. Mueller didn't get anyone on the Russia collusion stuff other than Papadopolous.
It's a material difference. Mueller wasn't investigating tax evasion but uncovered some against Manafort and he passed that on to other prosecutors to pursue. Same for the others.
Each of the 3 indictments from Durham are based on their role in the Russiagate saga.
"According to Durham, Joffe and his associates manipulated that data to make it seem like Trump, and those in Trump’s world, had suspicious interactions with internet protocol (IP) addresses affiliated with a Russian mobile phone provider. They then combined those allegations with the Alfa Bank hoax materials (the subject of Sussmann’s Fall 2016 meeting with then-FBI General Counsel James Baker).
This damaging information, purporting to demonstrate at least circumstantial evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, was presented on February 9, 2017 to what Durham describes as U.S. Government “Agency-2.”
That agency was the CIA. We know for sure that Sussmann met with the CIA General Counsel. We learned in January 2022 that, if Sussmann is to be believed, there were two other CIA employees at that meeting.
In other words, a Clinton supporting contractor (Joffe) obtained sensitive information (perhaps unlawfully) about the Office of the President of the United States (Trump), manipulated the information, passed it to a DNC/Clinton lawyer (Sussmann), who then delivered it to the CIA.
All on American soil.
This is important because the CIA is generally prohibited from conducting domestic operations. The FBI explains:
“The CIA collects information only regarding foreign countries and their citizens. Unlike the FBI, it is prohibited from collecting information regarding ‘U.S. Persons,’ a term that includes U.S. citizens, resident aliens, legal immigrants, and U.S. corporations, regardless of where they are located.”In the CIA’s own words:
“The FBI is responsible for coordination of clandestine collection of foreign intelligence through human sources or human-enabled means and counterintelligence activities inside the United States.”Yet when it came to Trump, here was the CIA doing what it is prohibited: “collecting information regarding U.S. persons” inside the United States"
Ahem ... "help incite violence," ... ???Would be an ideal time for MSNBC or CNN to run retractions and do a little damage control on the viewers they were dishonest with and help incite violence and negativity towards a sitting President. Knowing what they were reporting was not accurate information. Alot of self reflection happening in regards to how the left manipulates its voters with false information and performance acting.
LOL.Someone is going to face huge prison time. Maybe a couple of people. No way they let them get away with this now that this has been discovered. Clinton, Obama, or Biden will take the hit but some minions will. Expect some to sing and their cowardice will get exposed. Congrats for 20 years in the cellar.
How is that CNN helping to incite violence against Trump, though? That is CNN reporting on Rep. Maxine Waters calling for the harassment of Trump officials (and harassment doesn't necessarily have to include violence, by the way). If such harassment ever occurred, it wouldn't be CNN's fault, for simply reporting what Rep. Maxine Waters had said.Taken from CNN Headline
Maxine Waters encourages supporters to harass Trump administration officials
Sometimes it's fun to watch your mental gymnastics. I'll give you an 9.0 for the last page or so.How is that CNN helping to incite violence against Trump, though? That is CNN reporting on Rep.

If that is all you were talking about, then it is a stretch, to say the least.
A stretch caused impeachment. Harassment turns to violence….public official saying harass is calling to assault someone.How is that CNN helping to incite violence against Trump, though?

I stand corrected. The logic you are applying isn't a stretch. Your logic is, in fact, completely nonsensical.A stretch caused impeachment. Harassment turns to violence….public official saying harass is calling to assault someone.
CNN’s fault for continuing to run false stories. They knew they were not factual but ran them anyways. Maxine continued by enforcing the false stories CNN and MSNBC continued to air. But you already know this.
