‘Partisan hack’: Ted Lieu busts John Durham trying to ‘spin the facts’ on Russia
“A bipartisan U.S. Senate report confirmed that the Russians interfered in the 2016 elections and that that interference benefited Donald Trump,” Lieu pointed out. “Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, also publicly admitted to giving internal Trump campaign data to the Russians, and the U.S. Treasury Department found that this data, which it said was, quote, sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy, was then passed to Russian intelligence services.”
“There is a phrase to describe the facts I just set forth,” he added. “It’s called Russian collusion.”
Lieu then asked a series of yes/no questions of Durham.
“Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was convicted, correct?” Lieu asked.
“Correct,” Durham replied.
“Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, Rick Gates, was convicted, correct?” Lieu pressed.
“Mr. Durham, you can hold yourself out as an objective Department of Justice official or as a partisan hack,” Lieu warned. “The more that you try to spin the facts and not answer my questions, you sound like the latter.”
“You brought two cases to jury trial based on this investigation, and you lost both,” he told Durham. “And so I don’t actually know what we’re doing here because the author of the Durham report concedes that the FBI had enough information to investigate.”
I thought that one of the commandments was NOT “bearing false witness”. Then again 1sbw has changed identities so often that it is obvious that honesty is NOT a strength.
“the deal (Hunter) Biden reached is actually stricter than usual, some legal experts have said.”

Given Trump’s run-on yap, maybe he should be holding the sword, too; aimed at his gizzard or gullet.
