It must be nice to live in a world of one’s dreams and never have to bother with reality. It’s Monday, February 14 and many remarkable things are taking place in the world. Aggression in Ukraine, the Olympics, the Superbowl win, masks coming off nationwide, we could go on and on enumerating the main events of the day; but in Trump world, all this is bupkis. There is one event alone that captivates all attention and that is the Durham nothing burger. Get ready, Durham is the new but her emails.

First, Donald Junior decided to get stoned over it, because Junior decides to get stoned if it’s a day ending in a y and there is breathable air in the room.

That pretty much sets the tone for it. And then Daddy had to go completely off the rails today. Evidently he was expecting this to become a major something and the fact that it is nothing exasperates him. We understand that. At this point it would take something of a Watergate-level revelation to distract from all the malfeasance Trump is doing. He needs it, and he was hoping this was it, and contrary to what sonny boy says above, Trump was wrong again.

Alright. What is the major crime? What is the atrocity. Here is a lengthy thread by Seth Abramson and it goes through detail by detail what is going on with John Durham, how he was appointed, how all he’s ever found is small, procedural level infractions and how this is just one more. You might want to keep it handy for reference in case you have a MAGA relative who wants to go off the deep end about this latest conspiracy theory.

So you’re following this so far? This is Benghaziiiiii level nonsense.

So stop for a moment here. You see where this has gone. A “potential conflict of interest has been found” and “parties have agreed to waive it.” So, once more it is a minor, procedural level issue. It is not a big deal. But this is where Trump sees “atrocity” and “major crime” in a waiver. A waiver is a voluntary relinquishment of a known right.

Durham can’t find a crime and his time has run out. Trump desperately needs for a crime to be found and especially a Watergate level one. Absolutely. He needs that and he needs it now. That’s why he’s inventing one.

I expect that you’ll hear a lot more on this before the day is through. Trump isn’t going to let go of this easily.

  2. This is a detailed analysis from someone who unlike me is actually trained in the law but it fleshes out what I’ve been saying the past couple of days. Which is that this filing was indeed a nothing-“berder” made of cow-PIE “meat” and a means by which to divert attention from what’s coming when the Jan. 6 committee starts with its hearings. Pathetic? Yes. But I still believe it will give conservative commentators and outlets all they need to ignore the revelations coming from Jan. 6 hearings and instead pour forth a steady stream of reality obscuring bullshit. And conservative consumers will eat it up with a fake gold spoon (one with Trump’s signature printed on the handle – they won’t care when it rubs off!) they bought for $49.95 on Trump’s website.

  3. Oh dear Ursula – you’re mixing up your languages – it’s ‘pater and filius’ (Latin) or Pere and fils (French).

    However – as said over here “What can you expect from a pig but a grunt?”. Baby Donny just likes his face on TV – his rambles are about as coherent as the aforementioned porcine sound bit and he does take after pops in that respect

  4. Didnt this traitor write a letter stating how to overturn the election?
    Why was this organized crime family able to operate freely for 40 years?
    Maybe seth can explain that….
