What kills me is, as a taxpayer, I'm paying the bill for this.

In other words, Durham spent three years and $4.5 million to advance the ball little further than Michael Horowitz did. As has long been apparent, the “hoax” wasn’t the Russia investigation. The hoax was trying to present the Russia probe as a hoax.

I get it, and I get that DJT won in 2016 and that gave him the authority to spend my tax dollars basically in support of whatever he wanted, but, for the record, I'm pissed off.

Just saying.

Agreed. Attack thy enemies. While no "proof" shows Russian collusion, how do we explain the Republican's supporting Russia's Ukraine "special operation"? Retaliation for Zelensky not playing ball with the Donald?

@Livingwell We need to remember that the Mueller Investigation did not exonerate Trump. To the contrary, Mueller found that Trump and his team coordinated with Russian operatives, but they couldn't prove collusion because those people refused to testify. Based on Trump's own words and actions, it couldn't be clearer that Russia and Putin have kompromat on Trump, and exert some control over him.

@windinhishair I understand that. But Bill Barr sent out a misleading narrative that many take as the Donald being exonerated. And it's not just a republican issue. Dems are also guilty of crimes and "the base" on both sides just look the other way. No accountability.

@Livingwell He most certainly did, and it was evident at the time, but the lie is still being repeated by MAGAs today.

No political party is immune from scandals. What sets the MAGAs apart is that criminality is a key element of their existence. They don't even have a party platform to run on.
