"House Democrats on Wednesday rejected a Republican attempt to investigate the establishment of the controversial "Disinformation Governance Board" at the Department of Homeland Security.

The board was created to fight online disinformation that DHS said could affect the 2022 midterm elections. Backlash against the idea grew more intense after it was learned that DHS hired Nina Jankowicz as the board’s executive director. 

Jankowicz supported the now-debunked theory that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the White House in 2016 and called the Hunter Biden laptop story "disinformation."

Btw, it has been proven amongst others by a republican investigation the Trump campaign colluded with Russians.

As for Russia, it might be informative to read the unredacted Mueller Report.

The Russia investigation was not particularly targeting Trump. The Russian interference has been comfirmed and some people have been convicted (and pardoned by Trump for some of them).

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/breakdown-indictments-cases-muellers-probe/story?id=61219489

 

A cost–benefit analysis of the investigation shows a net benefit for the government, with far more income than expenses.

By December 2018, the investigation had cost approximately $32 million[149] but gained approximately $48 million. More than half of the cost of the investigation was for personnel compensation and benefits. The gains were accrued primarily by uncovering unpaid taxes by targets in the investigation, seizing assets, and collecting fines

So, how strong is the government's case against Danchenko, the third and final defendant? Maybe not very:

 

Durham target heading to trial as probe winds down

A federal judge on Thursday rejected Trump-Russia dossier source Igor Danchenko’s motion to dismiss the charges that Durham indicted him on in November 2021, which include five counts of lying to the FBI...

Judge Anthony Trenga for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia said that while the decision was an “extremely close call,” he would not wipe out the charges against Danchenko because the government overcame the motion to dismiss. It will now be up to a jury to decide whether a crime was committed beyond a reasonable doubt when Danchenko’s trial begins on Oct. 11.

What a waste of time and money for nothing. (3 years and $4 million spent). A witch hunt launched to please Trump.

And the blows against Durham keep on coming

Judge says Durham can't use Danchenko's alleged Russian intelligence links at trial

The judge overseeing the case against Igor Danchenko dealt a series of blows to special counsel John Durham, including ruling he could not use as evidence details from the FBI’s prior counterintelligence investigation into the main source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited dossier.

The Tuesday evening ruling by Judge Anthony Trenga followed a lengthy effort by Durham to use a pile of evidence about the Russian-born lawyer, including his alleged links to Russian intelligence, during the trial set to begin next Tuesday.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/judge-durham-cant-use-danchenko-russian-intel-links-trial

 

It's clear that when a prosecutor uses a kitchen-sink approach he's got a weak case. He tried the same thing with Sussman and his case was extremely unpersuasive to that jury.

[bendejo]

I am still of the opinion that all this stuff associated with the Mueller Report is buried away,  like Godzilla at the bottom of the sea, and at some point will re-emerge, much to the chagrin of Bill Barr and the rest of the orange cadre.  Of all the legal charges piling up against the former president, this could emerge as the gasoline on the embers.

Do bear in mind that the two impeachments offered no vindication, merely that his party did not punish him.  The DOJ could still bring cases for those things.

Trial is still not going so well....

These passages are based on a lie. As the Inspector General of the Justice Dept confirmed, the investigation was not initiated or based on the Steele Dossier. 

As for the investigation being based on Trump hating human sources, that is again a falsehood.

As for offering Steele 1 million dollars, Steele explicitly noted that in his his report that it contained unconfirmed rumors and chatter. 

And finally, on the matter of whether Trump collaborated with the Russians, Mueller in his report listed 10 possible counts of obstruction of justice violations including witness tampering in the case of Manafort, a massive tax dodger whom Trump pardoned after giving out hints that he would do just that. There has never been a President who pardoned so many persons who might have been potential witnesses against him. The power of the pardon was granted to Presidents in order for them to undo injustices, not to create them.

And it looks like Durham's case against Danchenko isn't going well at all as LosLobo's post with links shows..

Keep in mind that when Barr launched the Durham investigation, after a previous one went nowhere, he and Durham were both insinuating that the Justice Dept had maliciously investigated Trump. So far one very low level line lawyer was convicted on a minor charge based on evidence brought by IG Horowitz. Durham's first prosecution failed big time. So far, it doesn't like good for the current one either.

And it's just weird that you think a House and/or Senate committee are going to find out things that Durham couldn't.

Let's not forget Trump's bumbling buffoons gave the FBI reasons for suspicions. Campaign manager Paul Manafort was notoriously tied to the Kremlin and passed information to a suspected Russian agent; member of Trump family met with the Russians at Trump Tower in an attempt to get "dirt"on Hillary; one low-level aide boasted to an Australian diplomat that Russia was aiding the Trump campaign; and the longtime Trump associate Roger Stone seems to have helped broker a leak of Clinton campaign emails hacked by Russians.

Fox even used the defence, that the average intelligent viewer would not take some of its programming as factual against a recent past defamation case.

 

Fox is currently in a 1.6 Billion defamation case for pushing misinformation about the 2020 elections.

With a good opportunity on prime-time TV for him approaching with the Jan 6th Committee, he will now be able to get all his perceived grievances off his chest.

 

Here he attempts to divert attention, from pending jeopardy, with another one of his frivolous threats of legal action......

First off, it was Barr and Durham who disagreed with Horowitz about the motivation of the FBI in conducting this case. Durham quite explicitly disagreed with Horowitz finding after he had been apppointed. Which was unprecedented? So what has Durham come up with? That a few people misled the FBI. The opposite of what Barr had hoped to prove in appointing Durham. And one of the defendants has already been acquitted and it doesn't look good for the case against the other. 

And Peter Strzok was on the special team that was investigating Trump during the campagin leading up to the election. Yet, somehow, news of the investigation never leaked to the media. Got a plausible explanation for that? Because it's really difficult to leak info in D.C.?

Here are the links you requested. Living in a metaphorical cage much? You really don't know about the conclusion of Horowitz' report? Or the fact that Barr and Durham openly disagreed with it?

 

FBI wiretap of Trump campaign aide was riddled with errors, but Russia probe was legally justified, IG report finds

The voluminous report, released Monday by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, identified 17 separate inaccuracies across three surveillance applications, effectively inflating the justification for monitoring former foreign policy adviser Carter Page starting in the fall of 2016.

Horowitz, however, concluded the FBI was legally justified in launching its inquiry into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. There was no "documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the FBI’s decision to conduct these operations," the report said.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/12/09/ig-report-review-fbis-fisa-warrant-russia-probe-released/1499906001/

The article goes on to relay that the report goes on to say that the decision to open the investigation had nothing to do with the Steele report.

 

Durham rejects ‘some conclusions’ of Horowitz report

Washington – Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham on Monday said he disagreed with some of the conclusions of a Justice Department inspector general who determined the FBI had an “authorized purpose” and did not act out of political bias when it initiated its investigation into Trump campaign ties with Russia.

Durham, who has been tasked by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to conduct his own investigation, is now the president’s best hope of proving the FBI and former special counsel Robert Mueller conducted  “witch hunts” when they probed Russian meddling into the 2016 election.''

Durham said that, based on the evidence his team has “collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing,” he told Horowitz last month “that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

The Strzok affair is just a conservative rabbit-hole and did not predicate and is now not relevant to the case.

 

Did the Trump Campaign collude with Russia? Yes

 

Did Trump obstruct the Mueller Investigation? Yes

 

All the salient points of the Russia Collusion are:

 

May 2016 Australian Downer first alerts FBI of Trump's Russian Collusion.

 

Mar 2019  Mueller Investigation ends.

 

April 2019 Trump/Barr Declares Trump exonerated by lying about Mueller's findings.

 

Aug 2022 Manafort finally admits that the Trump Campaign did collude with Russia.

 

Sept 2022 Barr's lies uncovered.

In the Mueller report, there is evidence that he did collude and there's evidence to support a legal case for Trump's obstruction.

 

Oct 2022 Durham Report is still pending, though Durham found little and what he did find looks it will be thrown out of court soon.

 

Ongoing   No decision yet whether to charge Trump with obstruction, though he had no privilege then or has any now.
