Durham tells IG he can’t back right-wing theory that Russia case was U.S. intelligence setup

If you think Hotair is lying, feel free to prove it. Otherwise, you're lying.

Now I know there's a reason you won't post a direct link.

It's not like you're known for integrity.

Why do you have a problem clicking on the link and reading the original article yourself? Are you just looking for something to bitch about?

I think his point was more along the lines of why not link to the actual article, rather than the Op-Ed about the article.

I see you're afraid to try and prove your lie. Speaking of weak integrity.

So you have made an argument, and you have not posted evidence for that argument, and are now saying it's our job to do so.

:lol:

Or perhaps most conservative Republicans are far more intellectually honest and diligent in their duties than their political opposition gives them credit for.

If you presume that Republicans are as idiotic as Donald Trump, you will find yourself constantly surprised.

Good ****ing God I hope so. Because the party is married to this man far tighter than any of his previous marriages.

Or perhaps Bill Barr hired an attorney with some integrity and a reputation to protect, one that wouldn't just make up **** to please Barr and Trump.

That would be a big oops on Barrs part then.....

Well, I think it is safe to assume so, poweRob. Many people on the right think that there is a vast conspiracy of evil left-wing apparatchiks in government trying to harm conservative interests when the Democrats take the White House. Many on the left think that there is a vast conspiracy of evil right wingers taking over the halls of government to annihilate liberals like the Nazis conducting the Gleichschaltung when the Republicans take the White House. I find that the vast majority of people try their best to be honest and decent in the execution of their duties, whatever their political affiliations.

I can only speak for myself but for me, the right doesn't look like nazi's coming after the left. They look more like extremely willful dupes who are just spoonfed by the bowlful, really bad lying information and then being told that it's everyone else that is lying. To watch Russian propaganda being repeated by them kind of backs up my fears.

I don't see active maliciousness as much as passive maliciousness due to and mixed with the joy of shaudenfreude.

That cites a NYT piece. Do try to keep up...lol

Actually, it doesn't cite anything. It links to another Hot Air article, and claims that a NYT Source (that, presumably, they haven't published) claims that Durham has the evidence against Horowitz' conclusion. Though it may be the case that Durham has something to contradict Horowitz' finding, it's not really a plausible claim on its face, and (perhaps with little awareness of the irony) you've cited a source that cites itself. So currently, there's no reason to believe that Durham has something to contradict Horowitz.

Full headline: "Barr’s handpicked prosecutor tells inspector general he can’t back right-wing theory that Russia case was U.S. intelligence setup"

Aaaand another right wing conspiracy theory bites the dust.

So which investigation will Republicans be hanging their hats on next?

people familiar with the matter said. I'll wait to see what Durham himself says rather than depending on someone that will not allow their name to be used.

If I click on your link I’ll effectively be giving Hot Air advertising dollars. I’m not going to do that. So if there’s a link to a nytimes article that supports some position of yours in any way, post that link here.

Reality doesn't matter to Trumpers. Unless it says on Trumps twitter feed that Durham found nothing and the Mueller investigation had a legitimate basis they will continue to double down on lies and dishonesty. It is the Republican way. When wrong just lie.
