durham's investigation fizzles out with no great 'reveal'... quelle surprise

[butters]

Three years after John Durham was appointed by the Trump administration, a grand jury that was “investigating the investigators” has folded its tent and another one is not expected to be empaneled.

The move appears to dash the hopes of Trump and his supporters that Durham would unearth any evidence of a vast liberal conspiracy to improperly investigate the then-Republican candidate over his campaign’s extensive ties to Russia.

Durham has been mostly tight-lipped about the paltry results of his once much-heralded probe.

all that time, all that money...

Sounds to me like he was paid off by those commies in the Socialist Liberal Conspiracy Counsel. I think we need to investigate the investigators of the investigation.

How much did you get paid, John?!?!!?!!!!??!!!!!!!!

Major Blow for John Durham Probe as Jury Acquits Steele Dossier Source Igor Danchenko of Lying to the FBI​

The prosecution was the last of three cases launched by John Durham, who was appointed to uncover the genesis of the government’s probe into the since-debunked theory that Donald Trump colluded with Russia in the lead-up to the 2016 election. The theory led to a probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The goal of Durham’s subsequent probe was, in essence, to investigate the investigation

Durham’s other prosecutions involved former Perkins Coie cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann, who was also acquitted of lying to the FBI, and low-level FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty to altering an email and who avoided jail time.

The problem was that all the allegations were proved one by one to be true. It's difficult to keep screaming about 'lies' when they all turn out to be 'trues'.

Let's see? How many investigations and commissions have been begun by trumplikans and repuklicans for political reasons that have resulted in NADA??
Oh... then there's CUMGATE........that wasn't even about a fucking blow job in the Oval.

Then there's BUSINESS?? Where's that goddam HEALTH PLAN that was supposed to replace Obama Care?? Hmm? No place, but Biden lowered prescription drug prices? Or is that a lie too??

juries beg to differ and no doubt you still believe the 2020 election was 'stolen'

Obviously not.

But now you should be able to understand how frustrating it is for some that that serial criminal, fraud, traitor, corrupt clown Donald Trump isn't behind bars yet.

None of the allegations were proven to be true.

1 minor count of altering an email which resulted in a probationary sentence, across all of durham's much-vaunted, maga wank-festival of an 'Exposé' at the cost of how many millions to the taxpayer

 

[Bray123]

When people turn up to court without any evidence and their case gets hurled out, they claim that it's a conspiracy against them.

The stupid, it hurts.

Leading up to the trial, legal pundits on the left and right said Durham’s case was weak and that proved to be true. The jury was simply not convinced FBI had been duped by Danchenko. The jury got it right. The FBI was no victim. Danchenko was not responsible for bureau’s incompetence and malfeasance.

We learned some interesting new details from the trial. We learned that the FBI knowingly submitted to a FISA court a sworn application that claimed the information from Christopher Steele had been verified when in fact it had not. It was not only unverified, the bureau offered Steele up to $1 million if he could provide corroborated proof. He couldn’t so he was never paid. We also learned the FBI knew Steele was compiling his dossier as opposition research for the Clinton campaign and didn’t reveal that fact to the FISA court.

The trial certainly doesn’t help restore public confidence in the FBI’s damaged reputation, but I doubt many people are following the story.

Republicans used to trust the FBI until they became Trumplitards.

Sounds familiar.

"President Trump and his attorneys ultimately filed the complaint with the same inaccurate numbers without rectifying, clarifying, or otherwise changing them."

"Trump, moreover, signed a verification swearing under oath that the incorporated, inaccurate numbers 'are true and correct' or 'believed to be true and correct' to the best of his knowledge and belief.”

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Sounds familiar.

The topic is the Durham investigation and the Danchenko trial.

Now Trumplitards cry the FBI is all filled with deep state operatives, led by Chris Wray. The guy Trump appointed to run it...talk about "eating your own".

And everyone was totally exonerated. The Durham hoax was a witch hunt.

Did you read my comment? I said Durham’s case against Danchenko was weak and the jury got it right

You’re not like normal people are you.

Please elaborate.

And, whomp whomp

Hmm. You say shit without reference. Please elaborate.

So many court cases, no evidence presented. Unless you count people who say that they watched a Hollywood movie or a weirdo saying that he has a promo code for discount pillows.

It's normal to bring evidence with you when you go to court, otherwise it gets thrown out which is exactly what's happened to every Trump case.

You might consider better quoting who you’re responding to so you’re not misunderstood. First you say allegations were proven to be true (Durham? Was a bust), then you say no evidence presented in every Trump case ( so Durham, voter fraud BIG LIE stuff?). I know this is a Durham thread but you seem to be branching out?
