From CNN Reliable Source:
The Durham Debacle: For years, Donald Trump and right-wing media hyped special counsel John Durham's investigation. The probe, they claimed, would expose massive deep-state corruption inside the FBI that would send crooked bureaucrats to jail and reveal the "crime of the century." It was far worse than Watergate, the MAGA loyalists were promised. Fast forward to Monday when Durham's report was released. While it did sharply criticize the FBI and the origins of the Russia-Trump probe, Durham's report concluded without sending a single person to prison, falling far short of the inflated expectations set in the Trump-friendly press.
In fact, after millions of dollars were spent on the years-long investigation, Durham only ultimately secured the conviction of a low-level FBI lawyer who avoided serving jail time.
🔎 Zooming in: Right-wing media are, of course, boosting Durham's criticism of the FBI, pretending that the special counsel delivered on what they had long promised. But that is, without question, not the case. In fact, the whole saga once again shows that the hyping of a probe or outcome often proves to be a far more effective political and propaganda tool than the actual results.
Do something positive.
