With Durham exposing Hillary’s role in Russia hoax, Mueller’s 2-yr $32M probe draws added scrutiny

May 23, 2022 | | Print Article

Now that it appears that Special Counsel John Durham has proven that Hillary Clinton played an active role in spreading the so-called “Russia hoax” to the media, many on social media are wondering how, after an exhausting, two-year, multi-million-dollar investigation, former special counsel — and the former head of the FBI — Robert Mueller could have possibly missed her involvement.

As BizPac Review reported, the former manager of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, Robby Mook, testified during Durham’s trial of Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann that the former Secretary of State “agreed” to leak phony allegations involving the Trump Organization and a supposed “back channel” to Russia’s Alfa-Bank to the press.

While under oath, Mook claimed he was unsure of the veracity of the evidence, “discussed it with Hillary,” and that “she agreed” to hand it over to the press.

And just like that, we now know for sure that Hillary Clinton was involved with the actions of Perkins Coie, the law firm for which Sussmann and Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias were, at the time, partners, and Fusion GPS, the company hired by Elias to compile the infamous, completely debunked Steele Dossier.

With that seemingly simple connection now made in a court of law by Durham, Twitter wants to know why Mueller failed in his investigation to turn up the same information and why he claimed before Congress to have no knowledge of Fusion GPS.

“[Forty million dollars], 2,800 subpoenas, 40 agents, 19 DOJ lawyers, 500 witnesses and: Robert Mueller Doesn’t Know About Fusion GPS,” tweeted one user along with a clip of Mueller’s testimony.

The numbers the user cited came from former Attorney General William Barr and his 2019 summary of the Mueller Report, which was printed in The New York Times.

“The Mueller Investigation took a lot of time and cost a lot of money, but did not uncover anything important to charging anyone for feigning the ‘Trump Russian Collusion’ big lie,” wrote another. “[The] Durham investigation has found out enough that I want the money paid to Mueller investigators back!”

According to yet another user, Mueller’s inability to discover what Durham has found was intentional.

“How did Mueller and 40 attorneys, with over 2 years investigative time and $30M taxpayer dollars miss all that John Durham has found?” she asked. “Purposefully, that’s how. Every one of them needs to repay taxpayer $$ then spend many years in jail.”

Why more people aren’t asking the same question may have to do with the surprising fact that many Americans are still unaware of Durham’s findings.

When news of Mook’s testimony broke, even billionaire Elon Musk was shocked.

Musk had tweeted about the Sussmann trial and a 2016 tweet from Hillary Clinton in which she declared, “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”

In light of testimony in the trial, Musk called the tweet “a Clinton campaign hoax.”

“I guarantee that @elonmusk tweeting about Sussmann is the first time the vast majority of people on this website have ever heard of him, and probably John Durham as well,” one user noted. “Twitter has been suppressing tweets about the trial all week.”

Replied Musk: “I only heard about it last month and was blown away.”

But for those who are in the know, the next step is obvious: Hillary Clinton should be investigated.

As American Wire reported, a recent TIPP Insights poll found that a whopping 73% of Americans who followed the Durham story, regardless of their political affiliation, believe Durham should investigate Clinton “for her role to frame Trump as a Russian agent.”
