were intended to fit into Trump’s victory in 2019 with the hope that these feeble and apparently politically motivated indictments would provide ammunition for the Fat Man to make purging moves against prominent Democrats.

But Biden won and now Durham is left naked to the world as a willing apparatchik of a twice impeached and out of power con artist.

I am disappointed in the results of grim-faced Durham’s “investigation.” He was touted by the MSM as a hard nosed attorney who would not cave to the Fat Man (well, either Fat Man: Barr or Flubbo). Turns out he’s apparently just another politico leaning hard right towards his fascist leaders.

I shouldn’t be surprised, I guess. Barr was a Flubbo loyalist who apparently knew enough about his DOJ underlings that he could confidently choose a a guy like Durham to be his stooge.

Though the history of the FBI suggests that has been the norm in the past, and for decades.

Unbelievable that this U.S. F.B.I. man is defending Putin's U.S. conspirators instead of prosecuting them.
