Hostile Dems FAIL to trap Durham in Congress
Justice Department special counsel John Durham was met by hostile Democrats when he testified in front of Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee, but he didn’t take it lying down.
When Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), accused Durham during a cross-examination of damaging his own reputation by allegedly helping former President Donald Trump, Durham responded, “My concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect and my family and my Lord.”
“And I’m perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir,” he added.
Sara Gonzales of "The News & Why It Matters" believes that Cohen “was mad that Durham didn’t politicize this as everyone else has.”
She adds that if you don’t like Trump, you’re supposed to use your dislike for him to influence your decisions, because she doesn’t know “what siding with him would have to do with an unbiased, objective, fact-finding report.”
Frequent guest Jaco Booyens believes they do this because they “don’t let any disaster go to waste. Don’t let any opportunity for them go to waste. And they saw this as an opportunity to dig at Trump.”
“This is a moment for them,” Booyens adds.
Head writer and researcher for Glenn Beck Jason Buttrill is shocked at just how easily it comes for everyone to lie about Donald Trump, especially considering the work they do.
“In media you can’t fart in the wrong direction of someone and claim that it was theirs without getting hit with a libel case,” he says.
“We’ve just seen,” he continues, “like seven years straight, something like that, of them blatantly lying about Donald Trump.”
“The Durham report proved that everything in the Russia investigation, the Russia hoax, all that crap, was exactly that — crap. It was all false, based on lies,” he adds.

John Durham fires back perfect response to Democrat slamming his reputation — and the room erupts in applause
Former special counsel John Durham received a round of applause Wednesday after he rebuffed a Democrat who suggested his reputation is irreparably damaged.
At a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Democrats grilled Durham about his report investigating the origins of the Justice Department's Trump-Russia investigation. When it was Rep. Steve Cohen's (D-Tenn.) turn for questioning, he at first tried to extract comment from Durham about Donald Trump's insults of former Attorney General Bill Barr.
"That's outside the scope of my report," Durham quipped, eliciting laughter in the room.
What followed were several minutes of Cohen asking Durham why he did not investigate allegations that Donald Trump's presidential campaign colluded with Russia. Cohen made assertions of collusion despite special counsel Robert Mueller determining there was no evidence of collusion.
"Why did you then not think it was a good idea for you to look into it and see if the FBI wasn’t correct, and that there was collusion — a connection between Russia and the Trump campaign to elect Trump?" Cohen asked.
"My assignment was to look at the conduct of the intelligence community agencies, not to conduct a separate investigation that was done by the House or was done by the Senate or was done by Director Mueller," Durham explained.
That's when it got personal.
"You got no convictions. You got nothing!" Cohen screamed at Durham. "It was all set up to hurt the Mueller Report, which was correct and was redacted, to hurt the Bidens, and to help Trump — and you were a part of it!
"You have a good reputation, you had a good reputation, that's why the two Democrats supported you. But the longer you hold on to Mr. Barr and this report that Mr. Barr gave you as special counsel, your reputation will be damaged. As everybody's reputation who gets involved with Donald Trump is damaged. He's damaged goods. There's no good dealing with him, 'cuz you will end up on the bottom of a pyre."
But Durham made it clear he does not care what Cohen thinks about his reputation.
"My concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect and my family and my Lord, and I'm perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir," Durham responded.
Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R) responded, "Well said. God bless you." The room then erupted into applause.

Anything else?
It's not true that Durham's investigation netted zero convictions. Even though its goal was not to prosecute, it resulted in three prosecutions: two acquittals and one conviction.
There is also no evidence that Durham's investigation was designed to "hurt" Mueller's Report, benefit Trump, or damage Biden. Durham's investigation began more than a year before Biden won the White House.
