Hey, remember how Donald Trump collaborated with Russians to commit crimes enabling him to win the 2016 presidential election, provoking the two-and-a-half year Mueller investigation and inspiring a news story a day to keep trust in Trump away?
Well, if you do believe as much and don’t realize you were fed balderdash secretly delivered in large part by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, meet John Durham, a special counsel for the Justice Department. Appointed by Trump’s attorney general, William Barr, and kept in place by the Biden administration, he has a splendid reputation, uncommon diligence and keeps coming up with verifiable details not only testifying to the political hooey, but disclosing media misadventure and significant FBI lapses.
A chief ingredient in the mishmash to upset America’s basic principles and the best of who and what we are, Durham demonstrates, was the Steele dossier, a 35-page collection of 17 Trump-thumping memos written and assembled by Christopher Steele, a former British spy. For collecting what were mostly falsehoods used in trying to oust a legitimately elected president, he was paid by a firm practiced in villainizing political adversaries of clients that this time out were originally the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
