In a perfect Trumpworld, Durham would prove Trump innocent in 'Russiagate.' In reality, Trumpworld is crumbling and Durham's report won't save it. (via MaddowBlog)
But there lies the difference between the two men’s difficulties. Mueller had the evidence to support obstruction charges against Trump but felt unable to bring his case to court. In going after people who aren’t sitting presidents, Durham didn’t face the situation that bound Mueller’s hands — but he clearly doesn’t have the goods.
Over the next three months, Durham will have the chance to rewrite history as his team drafts its final report. He has already proven effective at shoehorning irrelevant spin into his writing, as we saw in the Sussman indictment,that the Clinton campaign had set up the Russia investigation in 2016. Attorney General Merrick Garland will have the final say on whether Durham’s report ever sees the light of day. In my opinion, he should get it out there as soon as possible, to avoid any new conspiracy theories about whatdon’t want Americans to see. In the end, though, any allegations Durham puts into his draft will be allegations that failed to persuade a grand jury or a court.
