Wow! Durham just betrayed his country to Russia and went all in for Putin

He was previously highly respected but just threw that all away in service of his new master Vlad I guess. WTF! From CNN:

US attorney leading Russia probe: "We do not agree with some of the report's conclusions"
US Attorney John Durham — who is leading Attorney General William Barr's probe of the origins of the Russia investigation — says his investigation is broader. Durham reports to Barr.

"We advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened," he said in a statement.

Here's the statement from Durham:

“I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

Then again, he probably switched his allegiance to Mother Russia in the first meeting between Barr and he. Why else would Barr appoint him?

Your comment is grossly out of line, unfair, hurtful, and appalling. Not that you care. You'll probably just come back with another personal attack against me. You know nothing about me, sir, and I resent you thinking that you have the first fucking clue about me.

With apologies to Cole Porter.

We open in Kiyv,
We next visit Putin,
And then on to Roma.
Lotsa crooks meet in Roma.
Our next jump Jerusalem,
To see our pal Binyamin,
Then Tel Aviv, and then Berlin,
Then we open again, where?
In Kiyv!

It doesn't effing matter what Barr or Durham "agree" with. Its not their say. Christ on a bike.

The best part is the "but, but, but... we already told the IG we didn't agree...... and he went and released this ANYWAY...." LOL!

This apparently derails their fake charges they were looking for because anything would fly in the face of a non-partisan report.
