investigators who investigated the ties between the trump campaign and russia and beyond. as new york times reports today, durham delivered a report that scolds the fbi but fails to live up to the expectations of supporters of donald j. trump that he would uncover a politically motivated deep state conspiracy. he charged no high-level fbi or intelligence official with a crime and acknowledged in a footnote that hillary clinton s 2016 presidential campaign did nothing prosecutable either. to no one s surprise though, the disgraced ex-president and his allies have used it as evidence of their priors and what amounts effectively to a campaign of disinformation. once again from the new york times, predictably the reporter s actual content, it contained no major new revelations and it accused the fbi of confirmation bias rather than making a more explosive conclusion of political bias, made scant difference in parts of the political arena. mr. trump and many of his loyalists iss
loyalists issued statements treating it as vindication of their claims that the russia inquiry involved far more extravagant wrong do in. in essence the durham report has become more grips for the mill of right wing disinformation and led to ever more wild and, frankly, dangerous claims about our government and our government agencies and even our democracy. here is alabama republican tommy tuberville saying that the claims made in the durham report are supposedly so outrageous that they should lead to the end of elections and democracy. watch. but if people don t go to jail for this, the american people should just stand up and say, listen, enough is enough, let s don t have elections anymore. i wish there was a special investigation into the voter fraud because it was outrageous what happened, but nobody wanted to look into it because they were afraid they were going to be called out. and so it is what it is. i hate this this happened.
