like trump did, biden should just have his AG redact a bunch of stuff out of the durham report to make it look like it says what he wants it to say and then write a summary that says that the durham report proves that trump did collude with russia and then obstructed justice. biden can hold this report up and shake it in front of the press and say, see, everything happened just like we said and durham's report proves it. ok, let's move on.

(31,350 posts)as i understand it the report in its entirety does not absolve trump of jackshit, but i haven't followed it that closely. i think Biden's best move here is to stay above the fray, as the president should and always should.

Too bad. Haha.

It would be one more step towards becoming a banana republic.
