Bill Barr's "special counsel" John Durham revealed the final results of his expensive four-year "probe" into the FBI's investigation into the Trump-Russia connection, and it came up with a big goose egg. Nothing. No alleged crimes, no convictions.
"We're going to investigate the investigators." Yeah. And you came up with nothing.
The conclusion: "Senior FBI personal displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor toward the information they received." That's a bunch of gibberish. Analytical rigor is not a crime. But to people who don't know any better, like Fox's audience, it sure sounds official.
Durham's meaningless conclusion contradicts the Trump Justice Department's own review stating, "while the FBI made a series of mistakes, the decision to open the Trump Russia probe was justified as a matter of law and policy — and untainted by any evidence of political bias." And while no official conspiracy between Trump and Russia was found, they did find a series of contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russians, and a campaign that was willing and eager to accept help from Moscow.
Junior, Kushner, and Manafort all met with Russians.
Trump even begged Russia, on camera, to help in his election ("Russia if you're listening..."). And millions of posts from Russian troll farms containing outright lies and disinformation about Joe Biden showed up on every social media platform.
So did Trump and Putin criminally conspire? No, but Trump's campaign sure was excited about all the help they got from Putin.
The FBI stated that their own corrective actions have been in place for several years.
This is the second Durham probe that rightwingers and conspiracy crackpots have been salivating for, yet failed to produce a single crime.
