Read the entire NYTimes article. It shows how much of a shameless scam the Durham probe was (and Bill Barr is). Durham's probe had "some of the very same flaws including a strained justification for opening it and its role in fueling partisan conspiracy theories that would never be charged in court that Trump allies claim characterized the Russia investigation"

This is what weaponization of the federal government actually looks like. I wonder if Gym Jordan will investigate Barr and Durham.

Indeed, "Mr. Durham used Russian intelligence memos — suspected by other U.S. officials of containing disinformation — to gain access to emails of an aide to George Soros". And if you can't trust Russian Intelligence, who can you trust?

Days before then-President Donald Trump left the White House, federal prosecutors in New York discussed whether to potentially charge Trump with campaign finance crimes once he was out of office...

They decided to not seek an indictment Trump for several reasons, Honig writes, including the political ramifications and the fact that Trump’s other scandals, such as efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and the January 6, 2021, insurrection, “made the campaign finance violations seem somehow trivial and outdated by comparison.”

That's a great nickname, Orange Prick. Expresses total disdain for this insufferable moron.

I was driving through Yuba City this afternoon on CA20 and on someones front yard there were two flags. The one on top the usual Trumper US flag and in the bottom a flag with the words "Biden Sucks". Wish I could have asked his opinion of Trump.

That's CA central valley for you, where Nunes and McCarthy's hail from, its Rednecksville from Bakersfield to Yreka.

CNN — David Pecker, the former head of the company that publishes the National Enquirer, is expected to meet with Manhattan prosecutors investigating former President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said, indicating the probe is escalating.

Pecker’s meeting is scheduled for this week, sources tell CNN. He was involved in an effort to stop adult film star Stormy Daniels from going public about a past alleged affair with Trump days before the 2016 presidential election.

NYT now reporting that that NY AG has announced grand jury will investigate the possible payment of hush money by Donald Trump in this matter. This puts Trump on a road straight to indictment.

Yep. I previously thought that the statute of limitations on these crimes would preclude a future indictment, but recently read that that the statute of limitations in NY State is extended when the defendant has been out of state “continuously,” and Trump was either in Florida or DC after January 2017.
