everybody at the fbi knew this lawyer and knew exactly who his clients were and who his firm was working for. it was not like a secret that he had those associations with nefarious democrats. but that indictment from john durham does its best to turn that into a scandal, that someone with, gasp, ties to democrats brought information about trump and russia to the fbi. the indictment in that case spins pages and pages and pages of unsupported allegations backed with cherry-picked quotes to try to paint the alleged communication channel between the trump organization and that russian bank as a big smear campaign that was known to be false but was nevertheless deliberately cooked up by the clinton campaign to bamboozle the fbi and make trump look bad. and that tracks with the trump allegation that everything related was a hoax and deep state by the democrats. that was the last statement by john durham last month.
