Quote: Special Counsel John Durham’s long-awaited report is a massive disappointment. He lays out reams of long-established facts in a comprehensive manner that will prove useful to posterity, but his utter failure to hold corrupt coup-plotters accountable will only further embolden Deep State government gangsters. Durham had the rarest of opportunities: to restore faith in what is left of our republic. He failed.
Comment:
I’s a very good and quite short column. Very much worth reading in full.
Yes, of course it’s a massive disappointment - wasn’t it Bill Barr who got it going to begin with?
And what a massive disappointment he turned out to be. At least Durham didnt lie and continue the coverup, but still lets them get away with it.
“Durham let down the American people with few and failed prosecutions. Never in American history has so much government corruption faced so little accountability. Let me be clear, the FBI and Justice Department – and their political masters in the Obama White House – are responsible for the worst government corruption in American history. President Trump is a crime victim who was targeted by a seditious conspiracy by Obama, Biden, Clinton and their Deep State allies.”
Yes, its clearly the worst government corruption, and political crime, in American history - a seditious conspiracy - and they were all in on it.
It’s out there for all to see now, and just because Durham didnt bring charges against any of them doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be brought.
If they are allowed to get away with this, it’s over.

Ultimately, the most damning thing about the Durham report is that it makes no specific recommendations to stop something such as the Trump-Russia abomination from happening again. This may seem like a strange place to arrive at, given the voluminous corruption he documented. However, Durham’s report repeatedly noted how the FBI showed extreme caution investigating anything related to Hillary Clinton’s prodigious corruption and gave her campaign “defensive briefings” when it believed a foreign entity might be attempting to influence her campaign — a marked difference between the aggressive and clandestine efforts to target the Trump campaign.
If federal law enforcement and bureaucrats are going to choose willfully to employ gross partisan double standards and ignore the existing policies and are generally incapable of restrained and prudent judgment, Durham sees no point in putting new guardrails in place.
“The promulgation of additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to be a fruitless exercise if the FBI’s guiding principles of ‘Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity’ are not engrained in the hearts and minds of those sworn to meet the FBI’s mission of ‘Protect[ing] the American People and Uphold[ing] the Constitution of the United States,’” Durham concluded.
In the decades since Nixon resigned, it appears our understanding of presidential accountability has gone from “if the president does it, it’s not illegal” to “if the FBI wants to engage in a baseless investigation motivated by partisan animus to frame a legitimately elected president as a foreign traitor, it’s not illegal.” And this state of affairs seems far, far worse than Watergate.
They still think “if the President does it, it’s not illegal” - if it’s the President (or candidate) they put in place, like Obama, Hillary, and Biden.
If it’s one they don’t want, like Trump, then whatever they do to destroy him is not illegal.
It’s worse than a double standard, though.
It’s complete lawlessness, motivated by not just a disregard for the Constitution, but a hatred for it, with the goal of replacing it with a totalitarian dictatorship.
