John Durham, the special counsel who has spent five years on a bogus search for wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia investigation, will release his report his afternoon.
To no one’s surprise, he didn’t have the mother wit to just slink away quietly and hope everybody just sort of forgot about him. Obscurity is now his best-case scenario.
John Durham was supposedly a fairly well-respected, “straight shooter”-type within the DOJ until now. Why would he want to flush his entire reputation and legacy down the toilet with this garbage “report” that concludes that the Trump-Russia probe should not have been opened, but offers no evidence whatsoever that it was some conspiratorial effort to gin up a fake investigation against Trump? That’s what Republicans like James Comer do. Trump and his circle, particularly his campaign advisor Paul Manafort, were up to their fucking eyeballs in hinky shit with the Russians that had to be investigated. If there was no there there, why was Trump so eager to shut the investigation down? Why not just shrug and say “sure, look at whatever you want. We’ve got nothing to hide.” Instead, as Mueller wrote, he obstructed at every turn and was desperate to make the investigation go away. Some day, I suppose, we’ll know why.
Noting that this all has to do with the “Steele dossier” which was originally commissioned by Ted Cruz, think of all to “P” jokes we would have missed but for said dossier. That is the real question is do the jokes make the rest of this worth it?
My favorite, what is the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean?
Donald Trump never had a garbanzo bean on his face.
