I think it's "disprove" as well. But I haven't read Durham's findings. Nonetheless, I doubt anyone, Durham or any sane person, would actually "approve" of any of those deeds listed in the tweet.

One means to reject; the other, to refute. Either works here.

Disapprove means to indicate that something is wrong or not appropriate. Disprove means to prove that something didn’t happen. Totally different meanings.

Your MW list does not disprove the above statements.

I think the maker of this meme either meant "disprove" or got the words mixed up. "Disapprove" does not fit.

Nor did he mention information provided by the Italian government on "others"
Konstantin's name at all
The biased FBI agent on the Clinton Foundation investigation
No mention of the investigators, especially his assistance quitting on him.

We could probably go on and on with what he has missed and then we can start on all the lies and half truths.
