The Mueller Report didn't exonerate Donald Trump. And neither does the Durham Report.
on social media to falsely declare that the real outrage of the Russia investigation was the inquiry itself — not the findings of presidential malfeasance.
It’s not just Republicans. Democrats have participated in this act of national amnesia. Even though in 2019called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to open impeachment proceedings over Mueller’s report, no part of the report ended up in either impeachment of Trump. One of the major conclusions of the Mueller report was that Trump couldn’t be criminally prosecuted in office, but after he lost re-election, all bets were off.
It’s true that with Trump, there’s a lot of criminal behavior to choose from. But Mueller's report lays out Trump’s potential criminal liability in excruciating detail. Yet the dominant narrative about the Russia investigation is that it was somewhere between a hoax and a dud — and no one is clamoring to hold Trump criminally responsible for his behavior.
Indeed, the real bombshell of Durham's report isn’t that Trump was investigated over Russian collusion in the first place; it’s that so few seem to care about Mueller’s findings. But Durham’s efforts can’t obscure the truth: that collusion really happened and that Trump went to extraordinary and criminal lengths to keep it a secret. We cannot and should not forget those facts.
