Surprise! The mainstream press still refuses to admit there was never any evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians
CNN’s Jake Tapper, the face of the corrupt mainstream
media
The release of the Durham final report [pdf] this week has produced a flurry of stories, reiterating the wholly unsurprising news that there was never any evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians and the entire story was a fraud, based on no evidence and drummed up by Democratic Party operatives working for Hillary Clinton both inside and outside of the FBI and Department of Justice.
The leftist mainstream press and the Democratic Party-controlled federal government of course reacted in mixed ways. First, Jake Tapper at CNN reluctantly admitted that the report is “devastating to the FBI, and to a degree it does exonerate Donald Trump.” In the same breath however he also tried to minimize the reports damning conclusions, which proved unequivocally that the reporting on this story from day one by him and everyone at CNN was either incompetent or outright lies.
The FBI meanwhile responded to the report with a short three sentence statement, admitting “missteps” were made but “dozens of corrective actions” have been taken since to make sure the agency “continues to do its work with the rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the American people deserve and rightly expect.”
Yeah, right. If you believe this hogwash from the FBI I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you, cheap.
Meanwhile other leftist mainstream news outlets scrambled to spin the report, to discredit it without even reading it.

Liars in 2017 and liars now, in 2023.
In truth, the facts brought out by the Durham report, detailed nicely in analyses here and here, simply restate what was patently obvious in 2017, for anyone with the willingness to look dispassionately at the plain facts. As I wrote in July 2017,
I haven’t posted anything about the Russian collusion story until now, because on its face it is absurd. As noted repeatedly by even Trump’s critics, there is no evidence of any illegal acts by anyone. Moreover, the media focus on the Russians distracts from the heart of the DNC hack, that it revealed illegal pay-offs and corruption by Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and others in the Democratic Party. I don’t really care that much how these emails were obtained since what they uncovered is far worse.
This 2017 conclusion was of course confirmed when Robert Mueller released his final report in 2019, which completely exonerated Trump, though with a reluctance that revealed the partisan hack that Robert Mueller was. And if you doubt me, make sure you watch the video here of Robert Mueller being questioned during a House hearing in 2013. As I concluded, “Mueller comes off clearly as a tool of the Democrats, something he still is today.”
The attacks on Trump were always a lie, but what made them worse was the eager cooperation of the entire mainstream press to amplify and spread those lies. And these news hacks did so loudly, endlessly, and without any credible evidence, and appear to be still doing it. They are frauds. Why anyone listens or watches any of them, when there are now many different sources of much better reporting available on the web, baffles me entirely. I haven’t watched television or cable news in almost thirty years, for all these reasons.
Do you still rely on these fake mainstream news sources? Why? Are you a fool? Are you willfully ignorant? Or are you so biased and partisan and close-minded that no alternative facts can ever be allowed to enter your mind?
Perhaps this short piece from the Babylon Bee sums up this whole disgusting affair most cogently:
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.
Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95; Shipping cost for either: $5.00). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.
It is ridiculous that they know they can get away with this. That is why they do it.
At a private company, even a big one you would be fired for far less or even nothing at all. Same with local law enforcement.
But if you are part of one of the too big to fail agencies (or banks), you can do whatever you want

Don’t really have to investigate very hard to find Trump trying to collude with the Russians.

You will and think and do as you are told.
How long do you think before our government will acquiesce and bow to these judgments and mandates of people not elected by any U.S. of America citizen and there in have the media reinforce and transmit the “proper” way all are to behave?
How long? By the end of the Biden administration?

Brad … which is more of a joke, what Trump said, or Biden telling us he used foreign-aid leverage to quash an Ukrainian investigation of an official with ties to his son?
By your standards, I should have expected Reagan to actually start the bombing in five minutes … hacking Hillary’s closet server after she tried to hide what she was doing with it would be a public service in the cause of liberty.
Keep in mind everyone … FISA warrants were based on this falsehood, as was investigation and prosecution of several people. This, juxtaposed with the kid-glove treatment of the Clintons and Bidens, illustrates the double standard of justice our Pedestaled Elite have established.
The FBI needs to be handled like a severe termite infestation … remove the rot and replace it with sound structure.
Multiple investigations found no wrongdoing on the part of Clinton as it pertains to either the email server or Benghazi. A much stronger case could be made that Comey announcing on October 28, 2016 that he was re-opening the email investigation (which then re-determined no wrongdoing) was more politically motivated than crossfire hurricane.
George Papadopoulos’ blabbing to the Australians is what kicked off crossfire hurricane, not the Steele dossier. The FBI OIG report made all of this plain. The Durham investigation was the political witch hunt, and it resulted in jack squat. Not the crime of the century like Trump claimed, just a big nothingburger. Y’all are grasping at straws
Making accusations they knew were false, using them to justify focusing law enforcement and intelligence agencies on a political rival is a “nothingburger”? They used these lies to imprison innocent people and ruin lives. They used them to justify ignoring the lawful conduct of a presidential administration.

A friend emails me concerned about what went on that the Durham report has revealed in the form of evidence regarding the massive collusion between the heads of the politically appointed three letter law enforcement and intelligence agencies of our own government in order to install their favored political agenda.
I replied: That was what was, start being concerned with what will be.
They have only just begun, and they will not surrender their gains easily.
Good grief! Someone still believes the BIGGEST LIE, that perpetrated by Clinton ad Company
If I had handled classified info the way Hillary did, I would be making little rocks out of big ones at a Federal prison.
If I had applied for FISA warrants using false information, I would likely end up in the same situation.
The double standard between justice for the Pedestaled Elite, and those that dissent from their One True Way of collectivist social technocracy, is now even more glaringly obvious.
I’ll leave this here …. it’s about more than talking to Australians.

Notice the weasel wording … that still doesn’t cover up how the outgoing administration was tying Trump to Russian hacking as they were leaving office. They either were sold the falsehood, or created it.
From Day 1, the very idea that Russia would invest millions in the Clinton family directly and hundreds of millions in the Clinton Global Initiative crime fund, and then support Trump to win the presidency is ludicrous. It flies in the face of any reason or logic. But they said it then and repeat it now with a straight face.

Let’s not get bogged down with the minutia, when it’s all boiled down the reality of all of this political warfare treachery what do you find at the bottom of the pot?
Ma Barker (Hillary Clinton).
And that is the grand takeaway related to the Durham report. Period.
Sorry Cotour,
I should have realized the link I provided was probably beyond your comprehension level. Perhaps one of your democrat friends or customers can read it and then explain it to you.
The minutia you refer to are hardly insignificant, your boy Durham was supposed to expose everything! He found nothing. Both trials ended in acquittal. He spent millions and accomplished nothing. He had free reign to investigate all the things you belive happened, and he didn’t find squat.
Did you actually read the Durham report or was that also too long for you? Just curious.
Bosco:
Some more of what is really the point, the FBI has become an even more corrupt and abusive of their power and defiant agency and extension of political agenda. And it needs to be dismantled and reassembled in some significant way shape or form. Many in the FBI leadership need to be indicted themselves. But alas they will not for they are but extensions of the Political realm and are immune.

And again, it all comes down to one person, Ma Barker.

Bosco Bob: You are welcome to come here and present your point of view. (I don’t believe in blacklisting people I disagree with, as I think you do.) You however are not welcome to come here and insult people. You are warned. Use insults again as an argument and I will suspend you for a week. Repeat it again after that and I will ban you.

Thanks for the reminder.
I was simply trying to expose you and your readers to an amazing resource.
I should have ignored the reply and the dismissive attitude.
Another great detailed explanation of the mistakes in the Durham Report.
