Updated: John Hinderaker’s knickers are in a twist, now later on Monday evening, too. But the fact is… Durham found nothing of lasting legal — or even political — import. End update.
So — since Durham worked longer, by over two years (four years total; and got zip!) — spent more, by over $5 million more… and made many grandiose claims at trial… only to strike out entirely…
I guess I’ll just laugh at what amounts to a paragraph of face saving, in 316 pages.
Hayward clutches his pearls, and falls onto his fainting couch, here.
Me? I see through it.
Special Counsels and Independent Counsels are supposed to bring criminal charges, if the evidence will support that. They are expected to win convictions, if they take the dramatic step of bringing felony charges.
Durham charged three people, and did not secure a single felony conviction. Mueller got 18 minimum.
Not one, for Durham. [If memory serves, he got one misdemeanor “failure of candor” with law enforcement charge, against on low level employee… but that was it.]
So now — to save face — he issues a mild scolding, to FBI.
Steve & John — do take your seats. [By the morning of 05.16.2023, Scott too is whining. But as he well-knows… there were no crimes here.]
This is all transparently partisan hackery. Yep, all a distraction — since Tangerine saw his crowd in Iowa disappear this weekend, to hang out with DeSantis.
Trump cancelled his rally and is sulking… so this is the “pick me up” for Cumquat Pol-pot.
As I say — Hilarious, Hinderaker & Hayward.
