By All Accounts, John Durham Works for the Most Corrupt US Government Ever
by tristero
Media outlets are currently full of vacuous talking heads salivating over the honest, sober, careful, "widely respected" John Durham, the prosecutor who opened up a totally bogus criminal investigation into the origins of the probe into Russian interference with 2016. So let me point out the obvious:
John Durham has no integrity whatsoever. He works for the most corrupt US government and the most corrupt Attorney General in our history (and given the records of Nixon and Bush, that's saying a lot). If he truly had integrity (and had even a mote of smarts), he wouldn't be working for Trump and Barr. He would have found an honest way to draw a salary.
Will Durham act with integrity going forward? So far, there's no public evidence he has any intention to. Let him earn his integrity, and let's see what he does.
And media? If your talking heads are friends with a government official, they should be banned from praising their honesty and integity. The same thing was said time and again about the utterly dishonest Barr and about so many others, including Kavanaugh. It's dangerous misinformation and hampers a serious evaluation of what these officials are actually up to.
