At the end of last week, a bombshell new report was released by the New York Times showing
that Durham, right, John Durham, the special prosecutor, that then Attorney General William
Barr, had appointed to investigate the investigators, you know, go after the Mueller probe.
Well, turns out that during the course of his investigation in, uh, 2019, Durham had
to take a little detour and start investigating Donald Trump for possible financial crimes
that were identified by officials in the country of Italy.
Here's what happened.
According to this report, officials in Italy alerted William Barr, then Attorney General
and special prosecutor John Durham, to the fact that they had information that appears
to show Donald Trump breaking the law with financial transactions.
Unfortunately, that is all we know about those particular allegations.
We don't know what those possible financial crimes were.
We don't know what the transactions were for.
We don't know the amounts of the transactions.
We don't know who they were to or who they were from, but we do know that at that point,
according to this report, both Barr and Durham receiving these allegations looked at it,
and both men working for Trump determined that this information was too important and
too credible to not investigate.
So investigate, Durham did.
Of course, he ended up not bringing any charges.
And it's also worth pointing out, we know absolutely nothing other than what I've told
you about that investigation.
We don't know what they looked at.
We don't know if they actually looked at anything.
We don't know who they spoke to.
We don't know if anybody was subpoenaed.
We know nothing about potential financial crimes committed by Donald Trump.
We don't even know if it happened when he was president, if it was prior to him becoming
president.
We don't know.
But I gotta tell you, here's the big piece of irony with this, right?
Durham was appointed by Bill Barr at Donald Trump's request because they wanted to expose
the Deep state plot to take down Donald Trump with the Mueller investigation, and instead
ended up having to investigate the very guy who wanted this investigation in the first
place for potential criminal activity.
I mean, I'm shocked, but I shouldn't be shocked, right?
Like this is kind of Trump's mo
And worth reporting that Durham, uh, was unsuccessful with his investigation, couldn't find any
wrongdoing, and Bill Barr tried to cover all that up.
They didn't wanna release the port, uh, final report when the report did come out.
Bill Barr actually went on TV shortly before that and said, oh no, we know all of this
happened, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then the report says, actually no, it didn't.
Kinda like Bill Barr did with the Mueller report right before that came out, Durham
for the record, even though his grand jury was dismissed months ago.
So he can't bring charges against anybody.
He's technically still on the job.
So he really doesn't have a team anymore.
He has no thing to continue investigating.
He has no way to even investigate or charge anybody, but he's still technically on the
job in getting paid.
So maybe Merrick Garland, you could do something about that because the investigation has literally
already concluded, or maybe better yet, Merrick Garland, why don't you get out there, call
a press conference and say, I am going to request Bill, uh, uh, uh, John Durham release
the entire results of the Trump investigation, and we'll determine if whether or not he actually
took it seriously or if we need to reopen it.
How about that, Merrick?
I think that would be something the American people would be very interested in seeing.
