OPINION:
For all of you out there listening to our mainstream media saying the Durham report is primarily a “nothing burger,” I suggest you keep an eye on who’s passing you the mustard (“Clinton campaign helped create the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, Durham report shows,” web, May 20).
It doesn’t take much digging into the actual report to see that the Trump campaign was never colluding with Russians in 2016 or beyond.
It was the Democratic Party, some federal agencies and most of the media that were in cahoots to influence the 2016 election. The entire “Russiagate” story was a lie, made up and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Democrats, their media cohorts and some higher-ups in our federal agencies perpetuated this hoax for over four years.
It was a lie, spoon-fed to those who wanted to believe it. It didn’t take much convincing, either. The willfully ignorant completely swallowed this whopper. They welcomed the deceitful words of Rep. Adam Schiff and Rachel Maddow. What’s even sadder, many of those on the left don’t really care about the truth. Keeping former President Donald Trump out of the White House has become a moral imperative. It overrides any sense of fair play or decency. This mantra has become so entrenched, I’m not even sure they know why anymore.
