Jimmy Dore is covering this live on his show now with Aaron Maté (archived segment to 
come tomorrow) who won an Izzy award for his Russiagate debunking coverage.

Even mainstream, corporate, establishment-echoing outlets like the USA Today and CNN 
admit (years too late) that there's no basis in fact in Russiagate, the FBI and DOJ 
broke the law, and Trump's claim of being victimized by Russiagate and the FBI 
investigation of Trump were correct.

The New York Times in 
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/15/us/politics/trump-russia-investigation-durham.html 
continues to minimize:
> The special counsel’s final report nevertheless did not produce blockbuster
> revelations of politically motivated misconduct, as Donald J. Trump and his allies
> had suggested it would.

It took 4 people to write that minimizing crap: Charlie Savage, Glenn Thrush, Adam 
Goldman, and Katie Benner. Apparently names to add to the list of writers from whom 
you can expect garbage writing for an unquestionably garbage outlet—the New York Times.

Yes, the Durham report did just that but the NYT won't admit it even if they quote 
some of the damning parts (typical top of article not admitting what is in the 
article further down that makes the NYT a horrible outlet).

RT covered this far more sensibly:
> Durham condemned the FBI for treating incriminating information on Trump with a
> “serious lack of analytical rigor, especially information received from
> politically-affiliated persons and entities.”

and

> The Steele Dossier was used by the FBI to obtain court permission to spy on
> Trump’s campaign. The FBI made “basic, fundamental, and serious errors” in
> applying for a warrant to surveil Trump, Justice Department Inspector General
> Michael Horowitz declared in 2019.

Durham let figures in the scam not talk to him, and in light of governmental 
illegality Durham did not recommend that the FBI make any "wholesale changes" to how 
it handles investigations. This is far too lenient given what Durham described. But 
Durham is going up against the weight of the US Government and he surely knows what 
happened to Assange for clearly describing American crimes.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Trump associates should "sue the hell" out of federal law 
enforcement authorities for harm in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
