The Return of Durham

Special Counsel John Durham has alleged that Hillary Clinton's campaign hired hackers to infiltrate Trump's servers and plant evidence that could then be used to trigger Mueller's investigation.  Essentially, Durham has confirmed Trump's story that his wires were tapped and that the Russian collusion story was a hoax.  Worse, this spying continued after Trump was in office.  Worse still, Obama was aware that Hillary was hacking Trump and basically ignored it.  I would say that is a convenient result for Trump, except that it is over a year too late.  If true and it results in convictions, it means that Democrats are gunning for Hillary and her supporters.  Republicans are spineless cowards and never play hardball like Democrats play hardball.

The insiders were so desperate to prevent an outsider from being elected that they allowed shenanigans that they would abhor in most elections.  Once Trump was in, the shenanigans were at threat of being exposed so Trump had to be vilified so his claims could be dismissed as crazy ravings.  Of course, now that Trump is out, Durham can be allowed to expose some of the shenanigans and take out a slew of Clinton supporters.  Astonishing as it may seem, the Clinton wing of the Democrat party is the moderates.  Bill Clinton's presidency is practically Republican compared to modern Democrat views.

Whether or not this is true or a bombshell, it will probably come to little or nothing in the end.  Little more than a footnote in some future history.  Trump will be cast as a danger to democracy and a threat to republicanism for several decades at least.  He was, and remains, a danger to the status quo.  The status quo has control of most of the media, all the intelligence agencies, most of academia, and more than 90% of the governing bureaucracy.  Trump opposed Leviathan and lost.
