After all this, isn\u2019t this just a case of lying to a federal agent? The Times, Washington Post, CNN et al will rush in to say it\u2019s nothing.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s everything \u2014 and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<p>If Hillary Clinton or one of her spokespeople went to the media in 2016 and said Donald Trump was a Russian agent, yes, they would have gotten a half-hour on MSNBC, but others would have been asking for proof, curious that this wasn\u2019t just the fantasy of a political opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but what if you could get the FBI to open an investigation? That would give this whole enterprise a veneer of credibility. Then you have someone leak it to the press and, voila, you\u2019ve weaponized the nation\u2019s justice system and no one is the wiser.<\/p>\n<p>And the best part is you don\u2019t even need any real evidence! Just lie a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Which is exactly what Clinton\u2019s campaign did. Michael Sussmann claimed to be just an ordinary concerned citizen when he was really a Clinton lawyer. Christopher Steele claimed to be a worried ex-spy when he was really a Clinton opposition researcher. They met with the FBI and fed investigators a bunch of hooey about Russian banks and pee \u00adtapes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"852\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Trump-Russia-Probe-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"John Durham was appointed by former Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.\" class=\"wp-image-21796925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Trump-Russia-Probe-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Trump-Russia-Probe-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Trump-Russia-Probe-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Trump-Russia-Probe-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>John Durham was <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed by former Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> William Barr to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-nypost-small-post\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"231\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/front6.jpg?w=231\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21796709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/front6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=462 462w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/front6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=346 346w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/front6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=231 231w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/front6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=115 115w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/front6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>These vicious rumors swirled around before the 2016 election, but after Trump\u2019s surprise win, an angry media latched on to them fiercely. And so opposition research, paid for and directed by Hillary Clinton, caused an attorney general to recuse himself, a special prosecutor to be appointed, talking heads to bluster every night, and half a presidency to be hijacked.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton\u2019s people are desperate to make this go away. They paid more than $100,000 to the Federal Election Commission because they lied about spending money on opposition research. Sussmann puts up objection after objection even as Durham methodically lays out his case that the lawyer lied to the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>Russiagate is a political smear of Nixonian proportions \u2014 worse because it used the government itself to throw the mud. There\u2019s a great story here. If Hunter Biden is any indication, the rest of the media will get around to telling it in about three years.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/USA-ELECTION_TRUMP-LAWSUIT.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Donald Trump shakes hands with Hillary Clinton at the conclusion of their first 2016 presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.\" class=\"wp-image-21796926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/USA-ELECTION_TRUMP-LAWSUIT.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/USA-ELECTION_TRUMP-LAWSUIT.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/USA-ELECTION_TRUMP-LAWSUIT.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/USA-ELECTION_TRUMP-LAWSUIT.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Donald Trump shakes hands with Hillary Clinton at the conclusion of their first 2016 presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
