I suppose it was predictable but Trumpsters won't accept the truth...

..when it's presented. The Durham investigation didn't reveal what Trump & troops wanted to hear.

Predictably, the report’s actual content — it contained no major new revelations, and it accused the F.B.I. of “confirmation bias” rather than making a more explosive conclusion of political bias — made scant difference in parts of the political arena.

The Durham Report Offered Few Conclusions. The Right Drew Its Own.

Conservative leaders and right-wing outlets say the special counsel report, which produced no startling revelations, lends credence to their conspiracy theories about the F.B.I.



Yet the former president and his allies in the conservative media bubble and in Congress found in Mr. Durham’s 306-page report what they needed. In their view, the contents amplify a long-held position that the F.B.I.’s investigation into Russia’s intervention in the 2016 election, known as Crossfire Hurricane — and the Trump campaign’s active or passive abetting of it — was a political vendetta concocted by Hillary Clinton and her willing accomplices in federal law enforcement.


So the Trumpsters are essentially saying since Durham didn't find any evidence of a conspiracy, the Durham investigation was the conspiracy. Huh?
