WASHINGTON — It became a regular litany of grievances from President Donald J. Trump and his supporters: The investigation into his 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia was a witch hunt, they maintained, that had been opened without any solid basis, went on too long and found no proof of collusion.
Egged on by Mr. Trump, Attorney General William P. Barr set out in 2019 to dig into their shared theory that the Russia investigation likely stemmed from a conspiracy by intelligence or law enforcement agencies. To lead the inquiry, Mr. Barr turned to a hard-nosed prosecutor named John H. Durham, and later granted him special counsel status to carry on after Mr. Trump left office.
But after almost four years — far longer than the Russia investigation itself — Mr. Durham’s work is coming to an end without uncovering anything like the deep state plot alleged by Mr. Trump and suspected by Mr. Barr.
Moreover, a monthslong review by The New York Times found that the main thrust of the Durham inquiry was marked by 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.

Well, well, well, talk about fruit from the poisonous tree and everything touched turning to shit. Fucking hilarious. Bill DISbarred should be subpoenaed before a senate investigory committee to testify about the criminal information provided by the Italians and the subsequent investigation or lack thereof. He should also be grilled on his pre-emptive obstruction of the Team Mueller and IG Horowitz reports. It’s clear as day that Billy DISbarred is a walking obstructionist deflector. What was that about every complaint being a projection, again?
Can anyone name one person associated with POOTWH whose reputation isn’t complete shit? Anyone?
Fucking schmucks.
he seems to be out on a redemption tour as of late as well. guess maher pushed back pretty good. havent seen it but thats the talk.
He can join Christless Christie on the beach and go fuck themselves with their redemption tours. POS the both of them.

So it was basically a bullshit grievance investigation....you'd think they learn. Instead? We're about to have almost two more years of that same nonsense in the house.

On top of how aborted fetuses end up in your Lucky Charms.
Did faux idiots comment on this at all? I remember when this was underway they were so sure it would bring down everyone from Clinton to Fauci to Hunter lol
Well, maybe some will finally find out what’s on Hunter’s laptop through depositions or grand jury testimony?
Hunter Biden’s lawyers, in newly aggressive strategy, target his critics
His attorneys have sent letters to prosecutors urging probes of Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and others
Hunter Biden’s lawyers, in a newly aggressive strategy, sent a series of blistering letters Wednesday to state and federal prosecutors urging criminal investigations into those who accessed and disseminated his personal data — and sent a separate letter threatening Fox News host Tucker Carlson with a defamation lawsuit.
The string of letters, which included criminal referrals and cease-and-desist missives aimed at critics and detractors, marked the start of a new and far more hard-hitting phase for the president’s son just as House Republicans prepare their own investigations into him.
Abbe Lowell, a recently hired lawyer whom Biden enlisted about a month ago, sent lengthy letters to the Justice Department and Delaware’s attorney general requesting investigations into several key players who were involved in disseminating data from a laptop that Biden is said to have dropped off at a repair shop in Wilmington, Del.
Bryan M. Sullivan, another lawyer now representing Biden, sent a separate communication to Carlson and Fox News demanding that they correct falsehoods from his recent show or risk a possible defamation lawsuit.
And in another letter, Lowell wrote to the Internal Revenue Service challenging the nonprofit status of Marco Polo, a group that is run by conservative activist Garrett M. Ziegler. Lowell provided 36 pages as evidence that the group is engaging in political activity in violation of its nonprofit status.
Taken together, the actions represent the boldest and most aggressive moves to date from Biden, who has often heeded the advice of those who urged him not to make public waves. Those close to President Biden and the White House have preferred a more conservative approach, but some individuals around Hunter Biden have wanted to be more assertive in telling his side of the story and going more directly after his opponents.
“This marks a new approach by Hunter Biden and his team,” said one person familiar with his strategy, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private plans. “He is not going to sit quietly by as questionable characters continue to violate his rights and media organizations peddling in lies try to defame him.”
The new strategy marks a calculated risk that it is better to forge a combative path and take on Biden’s longtime critics, even if it means inviting more news coverage of a dark chapter in his life and draws additional attention to the trove of personal and embarrassing material included on a laptop that has been disseminated by his detractors.
In the letters related to his personal data, Biden’s lawyers are asking state and federal law enforcement agencies to investigate individuals who came into possession of the data, some of which could have come from a laptop he purportedly dropped off in Delaware in April 2019. They claim that about a half-dozen people have violated various statutes, including by making public restricted private information; accessing and disseminating stolen property; and making false statements to Congress.
“The actions described above more than merit a full investigation and, depending on the resulting facts, may merit prosecution under various statutes,” the letters read. “It is not a common thing for a private person and his counsel to seek someone else being investigated, but the actions and motives here require it.”
The letters are particularly focused on John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer repair shop owner who has claimed he first received the material from Biden in April 2019. Mac Isaac has written a book and spoken at political events, and Biden’s lawyers point to inconsistencies in his account.
The letters also request investigations into former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was given the material from Mac Isaac and later distributed it; Robert Costello, who is Giuliani’s lawyer and also received the material; and Stephen K. Bannon, who has also had the material and helped facilitate initial news stories about it.
Hunter Biden’s attorneys also name Jack Maxey, who provided the material to several news outlets, including The Washington Post, as well as Ziegler, who has uploaded data onto his website, and Yaacov Apelbaum, a former aide to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) who Mac Isaac has said helped create a “forensic image” of the hard drive.
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. A message left with the Delaware attorney general’s office — the office that Hunter’s brother, Beau, used to hold — was not immediately returned.
Mac Isaac’s attorney, Brian Della Rocca, on Wednesday evening said he had just received a copy of the materials.
“After skimming the letters, the only thing I see is a privileged person hiring yet another high-priced attorney to redirect attention away from his own unlawful actions,” he said. “No other comments at this time.”
Ted Goodman, a spokesman for Giuliani, said the laptop became abandoned properly after Biden didn’t retrieve it, and he questioned why Biden’s lawyers didn’t raise their objections sooner.
“Raising concerns now, after so many years, indicates just how devastating the texts and videos from Hunter’s laptop truly are,” Goodman said, casting the letters as an attempt to silence Giuliani and divert from information that could be damaging for Biden and his family.
Several others mentioned in the letters sent by Biden’s attorneys did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
As the material purportedly from Biden’s laptop has circulated among conservative activists and media organizations, it has fostered a debate about its authenticity. In filing the complaint, however, Biden’s lawyers seem to be conceding that some of the data that has been made public is his private information, even as they say that other materials could have been later altered. They don’t state whether he did, in fact, drop off a laptop for repairs.

We already knew how dirty democrats were. Now we’re learning how spineless they are as they throw each other to the wolves. Man it sucks getting caught. I’d like to say it’s vindicating, but it’s shameful seeing people act like they actually thought trump was all they were fed. Russia? Oh, honey. 🤦♂️If you still support the left after they fois gras stuffed you full of their nonsense for the last decade, there’s no helping you- the rest of us have long moved on and are focused on saving the country from $10/gallon bidenflaton , who was supposed to be so much better than trump.
This aged well. Gas then $2.39. Gas in May 2024, $3.56 Average, nationwide. Tell us how the drive thru window had to close because of $10 a gallon gas, please?
Any word of late from Bull Durham? Can I get a scowling head shot for the GDP numbers, the Sinaloa Cartel take down and POTUS candidate Kamala Harris? Anyone? Who Bull votin’ fer?

Durham’s probe of Russia investigation has cost taxpayers at least $6.5 million
The special counsel’s work appears to be winding down, after one guilty plea for for altering an email and two trials that led to acquittals

Thats pennies nowadays. What the heck can you buy anymore with $6.5 million? Its not like you can retire with that amount?
Whitewater = $52M
Team Mueller: $32M
Bull Durham: $6.5M
Leaving the fiscally conservative cons in the lead with nothing to show, except an impeachment for a stained dress and, and, and, not much else.
