Trump using Durham report to bury Mueller findings of 'breathtakingly unethical' actions: columnist

Raw Story  

The final report by Trump administration-backed special counsel John Durham concluded this week that the FBI should never have investigated former President Donald Trump's ties to Russia in 2016. But aside from contradicting the 2019 inspector general report on the same subject, Durham's report completely ignores a simple reality, wrote columnist Michael A. Cohen for MSNBC: an earlier special counsel, Robert Mueller, took over from the FBI, concluded that investigation, and discovered widespread misconduct by the Trump campaign. From the outset, Trump claimed that the bill exonerated him and proved "no collusion" simply because Mueller didn't charge a criminal conspiracy between himself and Russian officials — a spin helped along by former Attorney General William Barr, who also said as much in his own editorializing report ahead of the release of Mueller's findings. IN OTHER NEWS: Suspect in bat attack at Virginia congressman’s office refuses to show up for arraignment: report In reality, though, wrote Cohen, "According to Mueller, the Trump team openly 'welcomed' Russian interference and even put together a 'messaging strategy' around e-mails from Clinton’s aides that had been published by WikiLeaks and hacked by the Russians. The report continues: "Indeed, the real bombshell of Durham's report isn’t that Trump was investigated over Russian collusion in the first place; it’s that so few seem to care about Mueller’s findings," concluded Cohen.
