You act as if Durham wasn't pushed by the entire right wing media spin media and the GOP.
Both sides are playing dirty politics.
I have no problem with that.
But let's be clear both sides are doing it.
Enough of this poor pitiful Republicans...we are pure innocent patriotic Americans with no presence in the media.

Hillary was the genesis for this back in 2011 and 2012. She was all over Putin for allegedly rigging an election. Mass protests arose in Russia and Putin blamed Clinton. One of WTF's new favorite words is realpolitik. Well, Clinton was doing the opposite. She made an enemy out of Putin. Barrack Obama, with his moral sanctimony, didn't help.
Fast forward to 2016. Russia tried to influence the U.S. election, in Trump's favor, because Putin correctly viewed Clinton as hostile to his best interests. No doubt the U.S. has done just as bad and worse in other elections in other countries. Anyway, when evidence of that comes out, Clinton's campaign tries to pin "Russian collusion" on the Trump campaign. Trump, being the occasional dumb ass that he is, didn't help matters when he said, during the campaign,
“Russia, if you’re listening — I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens.”
As Jackie says, the Clinton/Democrat narrative was pushed by the press, even though it wasn't true.
So what's the current fallout from all this? Well I can't help but think that maybe the crisis that's occurring in the Ukraine might not have happened if Russia and the Democratic Party hadn't become sworn enemies as a result of what happened in 2012, 2016 and their aftermath. Putin views an America controlled by the Democratic Party as an enemy, and that's part of the reason for his paranoia about NATO and the Ukraine. While many called Trump Putin's lapdog, maybe, just maybe, it was the other way around.
