    He reported no new findings, no convictions and basically had to tell them he wasted four years of tax payer dollars.

    Basically could not have gone worse, unless he lied under oath.

    Oops....now we have claims he may have lied under oath.

    The only person that seemed to think he was a success are "the mango mussolini" (LOL) and his most fervent maga defenders like basso...

    Durham in many ways was set up to fail. The IG report and Mueller report had already addressed the facts and once Durham
    Couldn’t find anything substantially new he wasn’t going to make much of a difference. Given how much faith and anticipation was put into him by many that he couldn’t deliver more than an opinion piece and one guilty plea while losing badly in the cases he tried it wa bound to be a let down for people like Gaetz.

    I think we are at the wait and see stage, so no need to be hasty.

    We know for sure about disgraced and embarrassed, we can wait to see if he perjured himself.

    the problem of course, is Mueller didn't have all the facts.

    Yes, when someone qualifies a statement with the word "claim", evidence has not yet been provided.

    Hence why I used the word.

    He had a lot more than Durham. For the Mueller report there were also several
    Convictions. If a trial is the crucible of truth then it’s not even close between what Mueller did and what Durham did.

    willfully ignorance on your part.

    over the course of 2 years ,special counsel Robert Mueller and his team of prosecutors have now indicted 34 individuals and three Russian businesses
    on charges ranging from computer hacking to conspiracy and financial crimes.


    on the other end of the spectrum, after 4 years of so-called investigation, Durham did such a poor job---losing all the two cases that went to trial---that even Gaetz attack him

    It's been provided and linked. You are showing a real lack in analyzing and evaluating evidence. I'm saying that in a non partisan way. You literally have a tough time providing any comparative evaluation of the evidence. You haven't really mentioned why you support Durham other than to ask posters who did read the report if they have read the report.

    You haven't provided any alaysis of the Mueller report and have shown a lack of understanding of what a dossier actually is.

    You have shown zero qualifications to exert quality control of other posters.

    if truth were important to you then you'd acknowledge that the Steele Dossier was a complete fabrication, and everything that flowed from it, from the FISA authorizations to the impeachment trials...the entirety of RussiaGate, was built on a foundation of lies. Obama, Biden, Hillary, and Comey, on cahoots with democrats in congress and members of the press, knowingly lied to the American public to kneecap and a duly elected president and his administration. it does not matter that said president was a narcissistic buffoon. if we were a serious nation, it would be national scandal.

    worse than Watergate, indeed.

    If truth were important to you, you'd learn what an intelligence dossier actually is.

    Yeah all of this has been covered before and now you’re just repeating.

    The Durham report doesn’t even support all of your claims above.

    Again it’s been covered already. This sounds like petulance because Durham failed in producing any major convictions.

    Watergate produced several and ultimately forced Nixon to resign.

    You are though making a point though. You’re continuing to go to great lengths to defend Trump by investing so much into his claims. I believe you don’t like Trump but you’re an example of why Trump continues to have so much support because of your willingness to buy into the defense that he makes that he’s a victim.
