    What tied Trump to Russia was Trump's ties to Russia, as noted in the Mueller report and the Senate Intelligence report.

    Agreed. That was a strange editorial.

    Yes I think Hillary Clinton certainly pushed that Trump was tied to Russia. Shocking! a political campaign tried to smear it's opponent.
    What the Durham investigation shows is that there was nothing illegal about it. It was certainly shady politics but nothign about it appears be particularly egregious especially given that Trump was publicly calling for Russian help to go after Hillary CLinton.

    What delivered the House to Democrats in 2018 was Trump’s divisive presidency, his over the top rhetoric and failing to deliver on things like infrastructure or the greatest health care plan.

    Are we just pretending Paul Manafort and Mike Flynn didn't exist? That the Trump campaign didn't share polling data with Russia?

    Come on man, it's the respected "Rasmussen" and the esteemed "Techno_fog" reporting this bombshell, though...

    Durham is STILL investigating? Good lord.

    It's been like six years and he hasn't produced Anything.

    Waste of tax payers money for him and his squad to prove that there was a deep left state conspiracy out to get trump on his Russian connection.

    Knowledge is worth it…because of the Durham investigation we learned that there was FBI bias from multiple agents due to political beliefs tied with unprofessional/ inappropriate conduct that led to either dismissal or resignation …it’s not a big deal but I would say I would want better….

    but then we further learned a FBI lawyer agent would go so far as to conduct a blatant illegal act against trump …it’s definitely a big deal now and it’s more than wanting better. It’s now a concern …

    now it comes out the FBI paid an informant to collaborate with Christopher Steele about the Russian disinformation against trump. So not only that but 14 internal FBI whistleblowers have supplied information to Durham …this is going to go on. There will be reciprocity. Yea if I was a liberal, I wouldn’t like Durham either but guess what knowledge is power and the more that is known the better

    As a liberal, I hope any agent that did something illegal is held accountable. Why would a liberal be against that? You have a strange idea that liberals want corrupted government agencies or something. It doesn't make sense.

    However, nothing the FBI did regarding Trump made the investigation unwarranted. That has already been determined. I'm always happy when there are government whistle-blowers and it was one of my main beefs with Obama were his attempts to silence whistle-blowers.

    Durham investigation ends after three years of searching, $40 million spent, and nothing found

    A month before Barr revealed that Durham’s report wasn’t yet baked, the Senate Intelligence Committee, then led by Republican Sen. Richard Burr, issued its own final report on the Trump campaign’s connection with Russia. That report found more than 100 contacts between Trump’s team and Russian agents. It found that Trump’s campaign directly collaborated with Russia on multiple occasions and in various ways to alter the outcome of a U.S. election. It found that multiple members of Trump’s campaign lied to investigators about these connections. It found that the coordination of Trump’s campaign and the Russian government “represented a grave counterintelligence threat.”

    No one gives a **** about Durham.

    We can wait till the final report to confirm, but there is nothing even remotely scandalous here.
