It comes as no shock that John Durham – the special counselor responsible for investigating Democrat involvement in the phony Russia collusion hoax – determined that Hillary Clinton was the key actor in a massive secret mission to spy on the Trump presidential campaign in an attempt to delegitimize his future presidency.
Over the weekend, Durham released a bombastic statement Sunday, claiming Hillary Clinton’s campaign and allies are implicated in a spying scandal to delegitimize his 2016 election victory and presidency.

Trump responded in kind, comparing the bombshell to that of Richard Nixon’s watergate scandal:
“What Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left Democrats did with respect to spying on a President of the United States, even while in office, is a far bigger crime than Watergate,” Trump said in a message.
NEW!
President Donald J. Trump:

Durham’s filing Friday was a motion for the Washington, D.C., federal court to look into possible conflicts of interest related to the defense team of Michael Sussmann, an attorney who has been indicted in the special counsel’s investigation on the accusation that he lied to the FBI in a meeting about Trump and Russia by saying he was not representing any clients when he was acting on behalf of a technology executive and the Clinton campaign. Sussmann denies any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty.
Trump and others argue there is a crime to be found in Durham saying in the filing that he is gathering evidence to show the technology executive, known to be former Neustar Senior Vice President Rodney Joffe, and his associates “exploited” internet traffic at the White House, Trump Tower, and other places to establish a narrative tying Trump to Russia.

However, neither Joffe nor members of the Clinton team have been charged with a crime in Durham’s investigation. Still, on Saturday, the Former President said such a finding would have, at one point in history, been punishable by the death penalty.
“The latest pleading from Special Counsel John Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia,” Trump stated.
Truly a shocking development by Durham, one that should result in jail time for all involved.
Maybe Trump’s ‘lock her up’ campaign slogan is finally coming to fruition?
