"How John Durham Buried Evidence He Had Been Doing the Work of Russian Spies … and then Tulsi Gabbard Buried More"

"Durham — as well as John Ratcliffe and Kash Patel — should have recognized they were pursuing an investigation of Hillary Clinton based off a deliberate Russian spy hoax."

"Durham (who continued his investigation for two more years after he would have concluded the emails were “composites”)"

John Durham's Lies with Metadata - emptywheel

In April, John Durham provided evidence he was going to lie about what time on October 5, 2016 key emails involving Fusion GPS were sent. Yesterday, he appears to have done just that.

@emptywheel How #JohnDurham Buried #Evidence He Had Been Doing the Work of #Russian #Spies … and then #TulsiGabbard Buried. As I’ve been showing, the Durham #classified annex goes to significant lengths to hide that a #Russian #email discussing creating a #conspiracy theory about the American #DeepState, which he dates to July 26, precedes the draft SVR memo he claims has animated his years-long hunt, which dates to July 27 or later. https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/09/how-john-durham-buried-evidence-he-had-been-doing-the-work-of-russian-spies-and-then-tulsi-gabbard-buried-more/ https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/09/how-john-durham-buried-evidence-he-had-been-doing-the-work-of-russian-spies-and-then-tulsi-gabbard-buried-more/ #maga

There are a lot of pieces of evidence that Durham not only chased a Russian conspiracy theory to frame Hillary Clinton, but did so knowingly. Most telling is the way Durham obscured the timeline showing that the draft report he claimed to be chasing was created at least a day after a Russian discussion about creating a Deep State conspiracy theory.

The #MuellerReport points out that Trump Jr. zeroed in on this: “Trump Jr. asked follow-up questions about how the alleged payments could be tied specifically to the Clinton Campaign, but Veselnitskaya indicated that she could not trace the money once it entered the United States.” The report quotes a participant in the meeting recalling “that Trump Jr. asked what they [the Russians] have on Clinton.”

#Durham dismissed the matter, remarking,“People get phone calls all the time from individuals who claim to have information like that.”

This meeting signaled to Moscow that the #Trump camp was receptive to #Russian endeavors to intervene in the election to boost Trump’s chances, & #Schiff expressed surprise that Durham found it insignificant. “Are you really trying to diminish the importance of what happened here?” he asked.
