‘The Downfall of Donald Trump Has Arrived’: Report, NY Prosecutors present Stormy Daniels hush money case to Grand Jury!

- Editor’s note: The New York Times investigative report published January 26, 2023, by venerable reporters Charlie Savage, Adam Goldman and Katie Benner, demonstrated how two respected lawyers [Bill Barr, John Durham] with decades of legal experience succumbed to the aphrodisiac of power in surrendering their morals, ethics and legal training merely for approval to suit the whims of an autocratic ruler, Donald J. Trump.
- Both should join Rudy Giuliani and be disbarred!
- Their epitaph will be how weak people corrupted themselves, along with disdaining their solemn oaths to serve the public.

+ The New York Times: How Barr’s Quest to Find Flaws in the Russia Inquiry Unraveled – The review by John Durham at one point veered into a criminal investigation related to Donald Trump himself, even as it failed to find wrongdoing in the origins of the Russia inquiry.
“But after almost four years — far longer than the Russia investigation itself — Mr. Durham’s work is coming to an end without uncovering anything like the deep state plot alleged by Mr. Trump and suspected by Mr. Barr.
“Moreover, a monthslong review by The New York Times found that the main thrust of the Durham inquiry was marked by some of the very same flaws — including a strained justification for opening it and its role in fueling partisan conspiracy theories that would never be charged in court — that Trump allies claim characterized the Russia investigation.”
