Bull, Durham
By 
John Durham has gotten two federal juries in a row to render outright acquittals against the targets of his absurd fishing expeditions, which is really really really hard for a federal prosecutor to do:
Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the infamous Trump-Russia dossier, was acquitted Tuesday of four counts of lying to the FBI in an embarrassing defeat for special counsel John Durham.
Durham has taken two cases to trial, and both have ended in acquittals. After more than three years looking for misconduct in the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, Durham has only secured one conviction: the guilty plea of a low-level FBI lawyer, who got probation.
The jury returned not guilty verdicts on all charges against Danchenko, a Russian expat and think tank analyst who provided the bulk of the material for the anti-Trump dossier. Durham initially charged Danchenko with five counts of lying to the FBI, but a judge threw out one of the charges on Friday.
This whole fiasco was always a sop to right wing whinging that the “Russia hoax” — this means the actual conspiracy involving the Russian government and the Trump campaign — be investigated as if it were a hoax, as opposed to the very real thing it always was and remains.
