Durham unmasks alliance between media, Democrat dirt diggers that triggered false Russia story

2022-05-03

[JustTheNews] Durham's argument is straightforward: Attorney-client privilege doesn't apply to materials the campaign distributed widely to third parties.

But his filing also puts the traditional media on notice that when Sussmann's trial on a charge of lying to the FBI
FBI

...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
begins next month, the unholy alliance between traditional media news hounds and the Democrat machine will be laid bare for the world to see.

And it is clear prosecutors have a clear theory that much of the information spread and then reported by the news media was glaringly weak if not outright false. Durham's filings refer to the Clinton opposition research alternately as a "red herring," "unverified" "too obvious" to be true, or containing a "very weak link." In some cases, those were words used by the very researchers helping assemble the materials.

Yet the traditional media reported it and re-reported it for nearly two years before Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded there was no evidence of a Trump-Russia conspiracy to hijack the 2016 election.

"One of the famous fake news outlets likes to say, 'Democracy dies in darkness.' They're exactly right," former Rep. Devin Nunes, the Republican House Intelligence Committee chairman who helped uravel the Russia collusion narrative, told Just the News. "They're the ones who have created the darkness, and democracy does die. It just happens to be the fake news media that's actually creating this."

#5 Durham releases the obvious. You can't really separate the 2016 from the 2020 election. Toss in big tech and the RINO governors in swing states and Durham will have it about right. Recall this story a month after the 2020 election in American Thinker here. Hillary, the smartest woman in the universe was supposed to win in 2016. The 2020 big steal was the result of the 2016 fail.

#4 Expose this unholy alliance all you want. The media will never report it so people will never know.
