The Durham report documents the double standard employed by the Obama administration in favor of Hillary Clinton. No surprise there. But it also documents a special double standard employed by Democrats and some Republicans specifically against former President
I had never understood Mr Trump's immediate problems on assuming office. Now it is becoming ever more clear. It amounts to a counter coup. Mr Trump's critics complain about the events on the Capitol on Jan 6, 2000 as an attempted coup against the US Constitution. They should know. They had been running an attempted coup against Mr Trump for four years!
As you mentioned the anti-trump crowd is cross benched; there also seems to be a correlation between the 'never Trumpers" and establishment entrenchment; the establishment, i.e, career politicians, are horribly afraid of him because of his anti-establishment positions; he's a populist, and they don't like populists; it's a threat to their career; it's a threat to the status quo. They are lashing out viciously; not to mention, every time they abuse the legal system to go after him they not only threaten the substructure of the legal system itself, and the three hundred years of good faith (longer in the common law UK), but they also strengthen his populist cause (and RFK jr's populism) because the average Joe is not stupid; they see it for what it is.
Question to Professor Dershowitz: Isn't there a big difference between a campaign smearing another candidate by trying to tie them to a hostile foreign leader (typical mudslinging), and a campaign having the appearance of ACTUALLY accepting foreign help in their campaign? Isn't the prior just politics while the latter COULD actually be a crime? Isn't the prior NOT a concern of the DOJ/FBI while the latter is, in fact, within the purview of probable cause for a criminal investigation, even if it comes up empty?

Ever heard of the left leaning media Politico?

Ukraine did not meddle in 2016 elections? Politico begs to differ as well as many others within the DNC, Democrat Representatives, the HRC Campaign and the Ukraine Government, as was quoted by officials from all...both anonymous and named officials.

This is a very reasonable analysis.

100% correct, but will anything ever be done about it?
Nothing will happen unless there is jail time for those who abused their power.

In other words, contrary to the first AP paragraph, no evidence, just speculation, presumption, opinion, and hearsay......https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446
