1. Well, that's what juries do.

2. In a major setback for Durham, jury acquits former Clinton lawyer

This case was so weak that it was a joke and should never have been taken to trial

But the longer the investigation continued, the more impatient the Republican become. “Where’s John Durham?” Trump asked in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

As it turns out, we can now answer that question: Durham is in court, losing in embarrassing fashion. NBC News reported:

A federal jury in Washington on Tuesday found Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty on a charge of lying to the FBI. Prosecutors from special counsel John Durham’s office had contended that Sussmann misrepresented himself during a meeting with the FBI’s general counsel in 2016 in hopes of orchestrating an “October surprise” against rival Donald Trump.

Durham and his team have been at this for nearly three years, and this was the first trial against someone charged by the special counsel’s office. It didn’t take jurors long to conclude that the case against Sussman was wrong.....

Update: The jury forewoman, who did not give her name, told reporters outside the courthouse that “I think we could have spent our time more wisely.” Ouch.

5. Bullies never stop whining and blaming when they lose . . .

It was stolen! It's a hoax! It's fraud! The teacher left the door open! It's the door!

It's the jurors! And so, on and on and on and on.

8. Isn't it choice when they politicize the judiciary like never before

Then whine and cry when it blows up in their faces?

9. So not only was the jury pool "dirty" but the FBI was working to help HRC in 2016?

The Durham report and investigation was designed to stop people into looking @ the connections
between the Trump campaign and Alfa bank in Russia.


Now why was a server in a little town in PA that was owned by Trump having daily contacts with the Alfa
Bank's computers? People need to be in prison for this shit. And it is time we see the full unredacted
Mueller report. Every time Trump said "fake news" about Trump/Russia connections he was lying.

As Max and his colleagues searched D.N.S. logs for domains associated with Republican candidates, they were perplexed by what they encountered. “We went looking for fingerprints similar to what was on the D.N.C. computers, but we didn’t find what we were looking for,” Max told me. “We found something totally different—something unique.” In the small town of Lititz, Pennsylvania, a domain linked to the Trump Organization (mail1.trump-email.com) seemed to be behaving in a peculiar way. The server that housed the domain belonged to a company called Listrak, which mostly helped deliver mass-marketing e-mails: blasts of messages advertising spa treatments, Las Vegas weekends, and other enticements. Some Trump Organization domains sent mass e-mail blasts, but the one that Max and his colleagues spotted appeared not to be sending anything. At the same time, though, a very small group of companies seemed to be trying to communicate with it.

Examining records for the Trump domain, Max’s group discovered D.N.S. lookups from a pair of servers owned by Alfa Bank, one of the largest banks in Russia. Alfa Bank’s computers were looking up the address of the Trump server nearly every day. There were dozens of lookups on some days and far fewer on others, but the total number was notable: between May and September, Alfa Bank looked up the Trump Organization’s domain more than two thousand times. “We were watching this happen in real time—it was like watching an airplane fly by,” Max said. “And we thought, Why the hell is a Russian bank communicating with a server that belongs to the Trump Organization, and at such a rate?”

Only one other entity seemed to be reaching out to the Trump Organization’s domain with any frequency: Spectrum Health, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Spectrum Health is closely linked to the DeVos family; Richard DeVos, Jr., is the chairman of the board, and one of its hospitals is named after his mother. His wife, Betsy DeVos, was appointed Secretary of Education by Donald Trump. Her brother, Erik Prince, is a Trump associate who has attracted the scrutiny of Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Trump’s ties to Russia. Mueller has been looking into Prince’s meeting, following the election, with a Russian official in the Seychelles, at which he reportedly discussed setting up a back channel between Trump and the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. (Prince maintains that the meeting was “incidental.”) In the summer of 2016, Max and the others weren’t aware of any of this. “We didn’t know who DeVos was,” Max said.

10. So, it was "rigged " from the start? Who couldn't see this coming?

Whenever they lose, they throw the same childish tantrum.

Hell, sometimes they throw the same tantrum if they win.

11. The right needs endless explanations or conspiracy theories to substantiate their reality.

That should tell them something.
