Looks like the $4 million probe-to-nowhere led by John Durham is birthing fresh conspiracies and rumors of indictments again!

I can’t find much in terms of unbiased news sources, but Right Wing News is lit up about “the Clintons” (both?) spying on Trump and trying to infiltrate his servers at Trump Tower and the White House—a crime punishable by death!
Snapping back to reality, the Durham filing seems to equate contracted security researchers investigating DNS traffic between Trump Towers and Alfa Bank with spying. I guess someone needs to explain DNS queries to these guys, because nothing I’ve read indicates an actual breach of the servers in question.
Need to wait for a primary source or something that doesn't lead back to right wing echo chambers. I do suspect this will have the same weight as the Sussman indictment, though. But we'll see!Looks like the $4 million probe-to-nowhere led by John Durham is birthing fresh conspiracies and rumors of indictments again!

Edit:
A thread by Eric Garland seems to indicate there’s more of an implied conspiracy afoot between Clinton camp/Perkins Coie and Steele that had the net effect of poisoning FISA warrants and establishing a false media narrative on Trump’s ties to Russia (though original intent may have been to embarrass the FBI after “her emails” helped swing the election.)
I guess this merits some attention after all…wingnuts may be right to blast the media if they refuse to cover this.
Ahh, the joys of an independent judiciary run by Merrick Garland.But, how is this investigation still going on 3 years later. Wasn't the criticism of the Mueller probe that it was taking so long? And it was completed in less time than this. Damn Dems are fn'ing weak.
So less than the Sussman indictment which in and of itself was pretty ridiculous. Shocking.Ughh, this is why you can’t trust Fox News or any right wing news source.
Every story on this Durham filing quotes the word “infiltrate” as if it’s in the actual document Durham released. As in, “Clinton Campaign paid to infiltrate Trump Tower, White House servers”.
Clinton campaign paid to 'infiltrate' Trump Tower, White House servers to link Trump to Russia, Durham finds
Lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to "infiltrate" servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to create fake information to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia, a filing from Special Counsel John Durham says.www.foxnews.com
They literally put the word in quotes. But it’s nowhere in the actual filing.
Digging deeper in the Faux News article, we see:
"In connection with these efforts, Tech Executive-1 exploited his access to non-public and/or proprietary Internet data," the filing states. "Tech Executive-1 also enlisted the assistance of researchers at a U.S.-based university who were receiving and analyzing large amounts of Internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract."
"Tech Executive-1 tasked these researchers to mine Internet data to establish 'an inference' and 'narrative' tying then-candidate Trump to Russia," Durham states. "In doing so, Tech Executive-1 indicated that he was seeking to please certain 'VIPs,' referring to individuals at Law Firm-1 and the Clinton campaign."
Wait…where did “infiltrate” go? How can they put it in quotes if it’s missing from the Durham filing? Where did it come from?

Former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia probe for the House Intelligence Committee under then-Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., Kash Patel, said the filing "definitively shows that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia."
"Per Durham, this arrangement was put in motion in July of 2016, meaning the Hillary Clinton campaign and her lawyers masterminded the most intricate and coordinated conspiracy against Trump when he was both a candidate and later President of the United States while simultaneously perpetuating the bogus Steele Dossier hoax," Patel told Fox News, adding that the lawyers worked to "infiltrate"Trump Tower and White House servers.
So basically Fox is quoting color commentary from an entirely biased source and framing it in the headline as a charge made in Durham’s filing. Which it most certainly is not.
No, Clinton never paid anyone to “infiltrate” Trump’s servers. In fact, most of the data came from researchers who already had access to the data through a government grant.
Also, no one “fabricated” the data. Kash is claiming that if they were ultimately paid by Clinton to collect the data (in fact, Neustar was paying Perkins Coie) than the data must be “made up”. In fact, the data is real. Whether it really amounted to anything nefarious or even extraordinary is the real question. But Kash inserts the words “infiltrate” and “fabricate” and all of a sudden the right wants to see the Clintons and Marc Elias hung for treason. Fuckwits.
Pondering if this meets the "actual malice" standard, or if Fox is successfully just skirting around the edges of libel yet again...Ughh, this is why you can’t trust Fox News or any right wing news source.

Gotta keep people enraged on anyone but republicans.The last couple times I flipped by Fox they are still whining about MSM not covering this important story.
So now that we know all that data collected was gathered during the Obama administration, do we think Jim Jordan will correct his false statement regarding spying on sitting President Trump?
Is this the sqlserver that was syncing with a russian server? Something about alot of dns lookups etc…. And Clinton paid someone to find out what that communication was about?Ughh, this is why you can’t trust Fox News or any right wing news source.

Ops research. Not illegal. Sorry the Pubs got a hold of it, then went spastic. Not Dems fault.Is this the sqlserver that was syncing with a russian server? Something about alot of dns lookups etc…. And Clinton paid someone to find out what that communication was about?
Fuck Fox News… Fox has to go.
Seriously though, cant she sue tf out of them?Ops research. Not illegal. Sorry the Pubs got a hold of it, then went spastic. Not Dems fault.
Not when Durham's case is so flimsy.Seriously though, cant she sue tf out of them?
Haha "might"Not when Durham's case is so flimsy.
Is John Durham Deliberately Stoking Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories? – Mother Jones
Prosecutors have much discretion when it comes to telling the stories of their cases. They can stick to the narrow specifics of the allegations. They can elaborate. Through his tenure as special consul, Durham has chosen to use narrow indictments to disseminate information that suggests wider conspiracies. That ought to place a weighty burden on him to be fair and accurate—and to not feed any partisan conspiracy fever. Yet Durham’s latest filing falls short of that standard and fuels the suspicion that he might be more conspirator than investigator.
It's so flimsy, that Fox has had a sudden change of heart.Haha "might"
Roger Stone is going to get fucked.
