A shocking revelation has come to light regarding the extent of the Clinton campaign’s involvement in the Russia probe, and their efforts to withhold potentially incriminating information. Fusion GPS, a contractor for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, has reportedly withheld over 1,500 documents from Special Counsel John Durham, citing attorney-client privilege as the reason for their refusal to hand over the documents. This decision by Fusion GPS has been contested by many legal experts.

It is concerning to note that Durham did not take legal action to acquire these documents. On Twitter, Real Clear Investigations senior reporter Paul Sperry revealed, “Hillary Clinton campaign contractor Fusion GPS held back more than 1,500 DOCUMENTS sought by Special Counsel Durham, claiming attorney-client privilege, and Durham didn’t sue for the evidence.” This move raises questions about the credibility of the investigation and the trust placed in judicial processes.
BREAKING: Hillary Clinton campaign contractor Fusion GPS held back more than 1,500 DOCUMENTS sought by Special Counsel Durham, claiming attorney-client privilege, and Durham didn't sue for the evidence. (FEC ruled against Clinton campaign for hiding behind a related legal claim.)

BREAKING: Ex-CIA analyst Nellie Ohr came up with the list of Trump associates Hillary lawyer Sussmann and Joffe tasked Pentagon computer contractors to run searches of non-public Internet data against. The list included Paul MANAFORT, Carter PAGE and Roger STONE & their families

DEVELOPING: FEC records show virtually all of Durham's prosecutors were Romney/McCain Republicans, which means they likely had little sympathy for Trump. Explains the lack of aggression going after FBI/DOJ officials who targeted Trump and the focus on Democratic activists instead

Adding to the controversy, Sperry pointed out that ex-CIA analyst Nellie Ohr was responsible for creating a list of Trump associates that were targeted for investigation. The list, which was given to Clinton lawyers Michael Sussmann and Rodney Joffe, included notable figures such as Paul Manafort, Carter Page, and Roger Stone, along with their families. This targeting of Trump associates shows the blatant partisan bias and political maneuvering at play in this case.
Furthermore, the fact that many of Durham’s prosecutors were Republican supporters of Mitt Romney and John McCain raises serious concerns about their bias in pursuing FBI and DOJ officials who targeted Trump, while focusing on Democratic activists. This conjecture could significantly impact the credibility of the investigation and the trust placed in such judicial processes.
The long-awaited report from Special Counsel John Durham on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, also known as “Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” was released in May. Durham had concluded that there was no concrete evidence of collusion at the onset of the investigation. The report further stated that there was no evidence in FBI records that any Trump campaign official had been in contact with Russian intelligence officials during the campaign. It also confirmed that the FBI had failed to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, and could not corroborate any allegations from the Steele dossier. The report suggested that top Obama administration members, including then-Vice President Joe Biden, had been briefed on a purported plan by Hillary Clinton to create a false narrative linking Trump to Russia in 2016.
The withholding of documents by Fusion GPS and the targeting of Trump associates are part of a complex web of political maneuvering and obfuscation. Whether these recent developments will lead to a reevaluation of the FBI’s Russia probe remains to be seen. However, it is clear that the actions of the Clinton campaign and their contractors demonstrate yet again the depths of partisan bias and corruption that exist in our political system.
