Durham Report Rips FBI. Just how bad was it and what new
was revealed in the Durham report. A lot of it was already in the public
domain, but a lot of it was new and very revealing of the despicable behavior
of the FBI who signed on with the Clinton campaign and did everything they
could to swing the election her way. It’s a statement of her unattractiveness
as a candidate that try as they did, they still couldn’t drag that crooked
harpy over the finish line. Unfortunately, while severe consequences are
clearly called for, nothing is likely to happen in that regard before the 2024

The
Durham Report was released yesterday and it
Rips The FBI, exposing FBI Partisanship. You can guess how clear the
conclusions were when you realize that CNN, yes CNN, said that it exonerated
Donald Trump. That has to hurt. It is clear that the FBI as it currently exists
cannot be allowed to continue and that a lot of folks need to answer in court
for what went on. I’d recommend the venue be changed to a good red state
jurisdiction for jury selection. The bottom line is that the FBI worked hand in
hand with the Clinton campaign and Obama was briefed on everything.

I’d also throw in the malfeasance at the border for good measure. Eight or nine
Biden family members received payments from foreign entities and beneficiaries
of American aid. Biden’s granddaughter was one of the recipients. The money was
funneled through over 20 companies they set up and
more than $10 million was involved. Most of this took place while Slow
