Yup.
Can't even bother to read most of his walls of garbage anymore.

Special Counsel John Durham served up not an investigation, but an excuse for future partisan abuses.
Defending Donald Trump was always awkward.
So many incidents unfolded in a familiar pattern. Somebody would accuse the ex-president of something bad. The ex-president’s supporters would spring into action to deny the charge—only to be undercut when Trump pivoted, admitted everything, and even bragged about it.
"President Trump would never try to pressure an embattled democracy by withholding military aid."
Screech, tzzzip.
"President Trump was perfectly within his rights to pressure an embattled democracy by withholding military aid."
Defending the indefensible wears people down. Even the most committed and tribal warrior of the right must have sometimes wished that Trump didn’t keep making the job so hard.
Maybe if there were some way to fight for the Trump cause that circumvented Trump personally? Even better if the spotlight could be shifted from Trump entirely and focused on ideological and cultural enemies instead.
In 2019, Trump was scorched by two massive reports detailing the assistance provided to his 2016 presidential campaign by Russian intelligence agencies. The first, by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, also presented evidence of obstruction of justice. The Mueller document was supplemented by the even weightier report of the Senate Intelligence Committee, then chaired by Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina.
The factual record presented by those two accounts was damning. Mueller’s investigation produced some three dozen indictments, seven guilty pleas, and one conviction at trial. Among those sent to prison was Trump’s own campaign chair, Paul Manafort. Mueller also documented the main elements of an obstruction of justice case against Trump—though Mueller heeded the internal Department of Justice rule against prosecuting a serving president.
The Trump White House and its supporters could not refute the material. They sought instead to distort its content and cushion its impact. Attorney General William Barr, for example, withheld the Mueller report for nearly a month to review and make redactions, even as Barr’s office hastened to publish an executive summary that represented the report as an exoneration of Trump personally. (Congress later learned that Mueller had complained to Barr about the summary distorting the special counsel’s findings.) Six Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee appended a statement acknowledging Russian interference in the 2016 election, while insisting that “then-Candidate Trump was not complicit.”

But distortion and cushioning are not very satisfactory responses. The facts are the facts; people can assess them for themselves and reach unwelcome conclusions, as five Democratic senators on the Intelligence Committee did in their reply to the six Republicans: “Russian intelligence services’ assault on the integrity of the 2016 U.S. electoral process and Trump and his associates’ participation in and enabling of this Russian activity, represents one of the single most grave counterintelligence threats to American national security in the modern era.”
For the political allies of a character like Trump, it’s dangerous to be cast on the defensive. He’s done so much bad stuff. A certain number of the tribalists may tolerate it all and find ways to equivocate, but the less committed may lose faith. The TV talking heads can repeat “no collusion” over and over, but Trump does keep saying all those complimentary things about Vladimir Putin, no matter what atrocities the Russian president commits. Some of the less anesthetized Republicans are bound to wonder

Quote:I'm not a wage slave when nearly all my spending money is from dividends. I do get a wage equal to Social Security's “maximum taxable earnings” because I can set my wages to whatever I want. As for business income, I learned from Donald Trump that this number can be whatever is most convenient for me. The IRS will never be able to prove the number is wrong if I cared to cheat like a Trump.

Notice how whenever a discussion isn't going his way, SECOND drags it off topic by trolling with "Russia" or "Trumptards"?
In case gentle readers have forgotten, the topic is: the FBI's misuse of its investigatory powers, and whether or not we should have an internal spy agency in our country that has been used time and time again for political purposes.

Well, yes, of course.
The interesting thing about the report is that Durham is STILL covering up for the perps in the FBI and CIA.
Alexander Mercouris, of The Duran, has a prodigious capacity to read official reports and he has read the whole thing. He points out the blank spots, un-interviewed ppl and unanswered questions in Durham's report which allows the perps in the FBI, CIA, and DNC to skate free,.

Signym, I will tell you this twice: The only people who think John Durham has a point are stupid people who voted for Trump or defended him. Everybody else knows that Durham has got nothing because there was never anything there.

Yeah, I know you believe you are not stupid, but I have never known a Trumptard who hasn't fucked up their own life with their stupid decisions. It is not funny, only sad, how unconscious they all are about the actual world. Lack of awareness binds them into groups for the "special". That is where Trump comes in with his "Only I can fix it." You got to be stupid/gullible to believe he or Putin is functioning well or governed competently and will change the world for the better where their believers will prosper.
