3:45Now PlayingJohn Durham appeared before Congress on Wednesday to discuss his 4-year long investigation into the 2-year long Mueller Investigation, and to say that it didn't go well would be a gross understatement. Democrat Jerrold Nadler absolutely scorched Durham for not only taking so long to complete his investigation with all the resources he was given, but he also called him out for LOSING every case that he brought to trial. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Yesterday, John Durham, the man that Republicans chose to launch a four year investigation into the 18 month Mueller investigation. Well, yesterday he appeared before Congress to answer some, uh, pretty tough questions. Now, of course, the Republicans wanted to make the whole thing about you. You agree that, you know, the whole Russia thing was a lie, total bs. By the way, that's not even what Durham's investigation found, but it was the Democrats on that committee that gave Durham a hard time and probably made him rethink his decision to even show up before Congress. And I gotta hand it to Gerald Nadler for for doing a great job. Ted Lou also did a wonderful job, but I wanna talk about what Nadler did because Nadler not only made John Durham look like a complete idiot, he also reminded the entire country of what a loser John Durham is. Let me read you the exchange that happened between Nadler and Durham.
Nadler asked Durham, did it take four years to complete? Durham replied, correct. Nadler says, okay, and with all these resources and all these people that were sent to help you investigate the investigators, you only filed three criminal cases. You only brought two cases to trial, correct? Correct. Durham replied, and you lost all the cases that you brought to trial. Correct? Nadler asked, Durham acknowledged, correct, and then Nadler goes in for the kill. Like after being like, Hey, so you only brought three, you only brought two to trial, and you lost all those. I just remind everybody you lost everything, right? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Then Nadler says this, in fact, two juries acquitted your defendants on all charges, and the one conviction you obtained, the defendant pleaded guilty to a single count that never went to trial. Correct? Durham sheepishly replies. Correct. And then Nadler goes at it again and points out that even the guy that pleaded guilty that didn't have to go to trial, that wasn't even Durham's part of it, that was by Inspector General Hurl Horowitz, who uh, secured that one. So it's like, okay, you got one guy on one count, and technically you didn't even get that guy. And the two guys you tried to get, you totally failed because the jury's acquitted those guys of everything that you accused them of, right? Isn't that correct? Correct.
Republicans wanted this hearing yesterday to be this big grand slam dunk, right? Like this was supposed to show the world, like, Hey, okay, you've heard things about the Durham Report, but
We're gonna totally make it clear that Durham did the right thing, that all these people are corrupt as hell. And Nadler comes in and he is like, all right, let me do this. Y'all stand back. So props to Jerry Nadler, because that was a wonderful line of questioning. And of course, as I said, it reminds the entire country that John Durham is nothing but a big, giant loser.
