  1. #JohnDurham—the #specialcounsel who was appointed by then #AttorneyGeneral #BillBarr to investigate the #FBI’s investigation of the #TrumpRussia #scandal and who utterly failed to produce evidence it was a #hoax—testified before the #HouseJudiciaryCommittee on Wednesday. In doing so, he made #False Statements to #Congress. He might even have #lied. motherjones.com/politics/2023/

  2. The #MuellerReport points out that Trump Jr. zeroed in on this: “Trump Jr. asked follow-up questions about how the alleged payments could be tied specifically to the Clinton Campaign, but Veselnitskaya indicated that she could not trace the money once it entered the United States.” The report quotes a participant in the meeting recalling “that Trump Jr. asked what they [the Russians] have on Clinton.”

  3. #Durham dismissed the matter, remarking,“People get phone calls all the time from individuals who claim to have information like that.”

    This meeting signaled to Moscow that the #Trump camp was receptive to #Russian endeavors to intervene in the election to boost Trump’s chances, & #Schiff expressed surprise that Durham found it insignificant. “Are you really trying to diminish the importance of what happened here?” he asked.

  4. When #Durham came before the cmte, #House #Republicans eagerly picked over the scraps in his final report, which has been much criticized, & they treated him as a hero. But under questioning from Democratic & Republican members, Durham #misrepresented key aspects of the #Russia scandal, suggesting he was either unfamiliar w/basic facts or was purposefully trying to #mislead the cmte & the American public.
