    Durham had a plea conviction of a DOJ lawyer who falsified evidence in the Page application.

    Yes. But Kevin Clinesmith's case was a referral by the IG.

    Durham actually uncovered little of merit.

    Durham's investigation was the legal equivalent of pursuing a 2,000 Mules investigation.

    Durham needs to be fired ASAP.

    Dare I say it? It was an actual "witch hunt", unlike the imaginary ones Trump talks about incessantly.

    and how many millions did it cost for that much losing?

    do the defendants get legal fees reimbursed?

    Durham previously had a sterling legal reputation. Now he will be remembered for his participation in the Trump clown show. I guess one consolation for Durham is that although the investigation came nowhere close to proving what the Trumpers intended at least Durham will be spared the embarrassment and humiliation of Rudy Giuliani for pushing Trump's false narrative that the Orange One really won the election and that it was stolen from him through massive election fraud.

    Justice Department wins about 99.5% of the cases it brings.

    Durham is an oh-fer.

    His whole expedition was an abject failure.

    Although he has me blocked, he’ll come up with something.

    He will still write an inflammatory and easily falsifiable report, intended to froth the faithful. They will say that's the truth, and that you just can't trust juries made of "urban types" knowing what that means

    Unless one of the goals was to generate conspiracy content for right wing media.

    I haven’t seen a post from him in a long time. Is he still here? Maybe he has me blocked too?
