    The Spin

    Left narrative

    Durham's investigation is a clear example of political prosecution. Regardless of whether or not he is successful in bringing convictions, he has already convinced right-wing media pundits and politicians that there was a wide-ranging conspiracy to bring down Trump using false information. This is simply untrue, and Durham's charges are overstated.

    Right narrative

    Durham is a career Dept. of Justice prosecutor whose convictions include that of the notorious Boston criminal Whitey Bulger. This trial is just the tip of the iceberg in showing how Clinton and her operatives were willing to lie to law enforcement to falsely paint Trump as a Russian agent ahead of the US presidential election.
