Reactions to Durham Report Findings

This week, the four year investigation overseen by Special Counsel John Durham was published. It revealed that the Democrat claim that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election was a fabrication concocted by the Clinton campaign to discredit Trump and carry her to the White House. The FBI knew the collusion claim was false, yet improperly spent public resources to promulgate this hoax, spy on Trump, and persecute his supporters. The media also knew the collusion allegation to be false, but still spent years pushing this lie because they hated Trump and the policies he advocated for governing the country.

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, one of the villains in the Durham Report, gloated that "Trump's people--Manafort, Stone, Papadopoulouos--all went to jail. I got a book deal. Comey got a book deal. The Washington Post and the New York Times got Pulitzer prizes. Durham didn't call for any of us so-called 'bad guys' to be indicted because he knows the Biden DOJ would never prosecute the patriots that worked against Trump. We we unsuccessful in the effort to prevent his election, but we still managed to neuter his Administration."

Sally Buzbee, editor of the Washington Post, dismissed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's demand that it's Pulitzer prize be returned, calling it "a frail cry for justice that has no hope of ever being delivered. We are the elite. He is an outcast. We decide what is true and what is false. We have the connections and the power to make our view the reigning orthodoxy and condemn those who dispute what we say purveyors of misinformation."

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif), who repeatedly claimed to have evidence of Trump's collusion with Russia mocked Durham's inability to find it, saying "it didn't take me four years to verify dirt on Trump. All it took was a single phone call from Andriy Parubiy, speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament, informing me that the Russian government had naked pictures of Trump that they would use to blackmail him into committing treason. This convinced me that we needed to do everything we could--legal and illegal--to undermine Trump's presidency."
