Having just listened to a passing reference to the Durham report followed by a long segment on Martha Stewart making the cover of Sport's Illustrated, the report appears destined for the same treatment as the Biden corruption report. jonathanturley.org/2023/05/15/ame…
...Just in case any reporters simply find the 300 page report daunting, here are a few take aways. (1) There was never a foundation for the launching of the Russian collusion investigation that occupied most of the Trump presidency...
(2) Salacious reports like the Moscow hotel tape appear to be entirely invented by the Steele team funded by the Clinton campaign...
(3) the Steele dossier was not only funded and pushed by the Clinton campaign, but General Counsel Marc Elias pushed the media campaign (and later refused to cooperate voluntarily with investigators)...
(4) DOJ and FBI officials violated core departmental standards, including some with a "predisposition" to investigate Trump...
...(5) the lack of support and contradictions of these allegations were clear from the outset...
...There is more but even if those five threshold points do not appear newsworthy, there is the fact that the media pushed these false claims for years with the support of politicians like Rep. Adam Schiff who insisted that they had evidence of such Russian collusion...
...As with past false stories from the Hunter Biden "Russian Disinformation" claim to the whipping of migrants at the border, there is just a collective shrug as reporters hold up the cover shot of Martha Stewart on Sports Illustrated.
