any agency or responsibility to donald trump for problems that are trump s and trump s alone. instead, republicans have planned this hearing and constructed an entire narrative around the work of special counsel durham in an effort to distract from the former president s legal troubles and mislead the american public. to be clear, the durham report is by itself a deeply flawed vessel. after four years, thousands of employee hours, and more than 6 1/2 million dollars in taxpayer dollars, special counsel durham failed to uncover any wrongdoing that justice department inspector general horowitz had not already found in 2019. he brought just two cases to trial and lost them both. both defendants were acquitted in mere hours. the single conviction of special counsel durham obtained involved a single charge of lying to the

gave them to build it someplace else. he called bomb s statements disrespectful, but charlie crist actually supports obama and we can practice religion without the government telling us we can. the opinions span the gamut on this thing. charlie crist, an independent, supports the president, but the democratic candidate for governor in florida wants the mosque moved elsewhere. this is it continue to unfold in the days ahead rest assured. how about the years ahead. could a kennedy be back in the senate? well, democrats hope vicky kennedy, the wife of late legendary senator ted kennedy. they hope she will run against scott brown for senate in 2012. scott brown, however, massachusetts most popular politician, 55% approval rating and a ton of cash in the bank. 6 1/2 million dollars. people love him in the state of massachusetts right now. but as a national candidate and having that national gleam
