BREAKING: Democrats Attempt To Derail Durham Probe Before He Releases Bombshell Report

John Durham’s probe will soon come to an end, and Democrats are already launching preliminary strikes in order to discredit his work.

According to The Hill, Senate democrats are targeting Durham for his “abuses of power” as Special Counsel.

Senator Dick Durbin is leading the charge on this witch hunt, citing a recent NY Times report, “These reports about abuses in Special Counsel Durham’s investigation — so outrageous that even his longtime colleagues quit in protest — are but one of many instances where former President Trump and his allies weaponized the Justice Department.”

“The Justice Department should work on behalf of the American people, not for the personal benefit of any president” he continued, even though the current Justice Department is fully in Joe Biden’s pocket. “As we wait for the results of ongoing internal reviews, the Senate Judiciary Committee will do its part and take a hard look at these repeated episodes, and the regulations and policies that enabled them, to ensure such abuses of power cannot happen again,” Durbin added.

Durbin made all of these radical claims despite no evidence that Trump had any advantage with the Justice Department during his tenure.

The Federalist released a new piece on this subject that thoroughly debunks the recent NY Times hit piece against Durham. You can read the whole thing here, but here is a snippet:

The Times article attempted to rewrite history by framing Trump-Russia collusion as real and claims to the contrary as conspiracy theories.

First, there was nothing nefarious about any of Trump’s links to Russia. Second, unlike Trump, whose connections with Russia were benign, Hillary Clinton actually paid, through her lawyers, a Russian national and suspected foreign agent for the lies in the Steele dossier, which drove the now-debunked Russia-collusion conspiracy.

Nonetheless, the Times reporters wrote as if the Russia, Russia, Russia refrain would still hypnotize the American public — and not just about 2016. Rather, Savage, Goldman, and Benner introduced another theory of supposed Russian malfeasance, this one corrupting Durham.

In addition to framing the long-ago-disproved Trump-Russia collusion theory as genuine, the Times painted those outraged over the scandal as the real conspiracy theorists. The special counsel inquiry “fuel[ed] partisan conspiracy theories that would never be charged in court,” the article charged, presenting the response by Barr, Durham, Trump, and others as the real problem, not the political targeting of Trump that incapacitated his administration.

To support its spin that Barr’s appointment of Durham to investigate the investigators represented the true offense, the Times quoted Robert Luskin, identified in the article merely as a defense attorney who represented two witnesses interviewed by Durham. “When did these guys drink the Kool-Aid, and who served it to them?” Luskin asked rhetorically, in reference to Barr and Durham. The Times, however, failed to explain why it would take a Jim Jones-type of persuasion to prompt Barr and Durham to question Luskin’s client Stefan Halper.

Twitter sounded off on the latest Democratic attempt to obstruct, saying that Durham must be doing some damage if they’re panicking this much:

The Dems who rig everything, now want to accuse Durham of rigging. If this wasn't dead serious stuff, it would make a terrific comedy for Hollywood.

Durham’s probe has been cheered on by Trump and his supporters while being discredited as “politically motivated” by Democrats who have turned Robert Mueller into their knight in shining armor.

Durham has been able to secure one conviction so far. Ex-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith plead guilty for falsifying a document in the renewal process of FISA surveillance on Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. Clinesmith received no jail time and a one-year suspension from practicing law.

As of December, “Special counsel John Durham has spent at least $6.5 million over the last two years on its investigation of the FBI’s inquiry into ties between former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia,” according to the Daily Wire.

This is peanuts compared to the $32 million price tag on Mueller’s failed probe.
