John Durham's admission Republicans are out of their minds means he must shut down sham investigation: analysisTomasky, editor of The New Republic, noted Durham issued a walk back after one of his filings was taken out of context by right win media.
He translated Durham's statement as meaning, "Fox News and the rest of the right-wing media, not to mention Trump himself and his Republican cultists, are out of their minds."
"Let me explain. Durham issued a filing earlier this month that seemed to suggest, to people who cant read, that the Hillary Clinton campaign was spying on the Trump campaign. The New York Post went with 'Hillary the Spy' on its cover. Fox went berserk. Trump suggested some Clinton aides deserved to be executed (no, really). Jim Jordan (R-Berchtesgaden) echoed the sentiment," he wrote. "Its all fiction, straight out of the Josef Goebbels School of Political Communication. If you are doing Xsetting fire to the Reichstag, say, or cooperating with the Kremlin to win a presidential electionyou accuse your opponent of doing the thing that youre doing."

is quite rich. Double, triple reverse projection?
What you are guilty of, you accuse the opposition of. And charging Dems with projection, when that has been the GOP's stock in trade for years, is projection piled upon projection.
Jordan knows he does it. People like this should certainly not be in positions of power in government.
