As Durham’s investigation continues, the alleged individual like Hillary Clinton is in panic mode, the same goes with their left bearer media outlets who are trying to cover up the said claims.
Clinton went on offense against a fusillade of attacks from President Trump and his defenders among conservative talk hosts and media outlets, as she took aim specifically at Fox News.
Left-wing media outlets like Mediaite and CNN noted Fox News now gives scant attention to claims Hillary Clinton’s campaign “spied” on Trump.
Clinton said in a speech before New York state Democrats:
“Fox leads the charge in their accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again. And as an aside, they are getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks.”
Clinton, denouncing the coverage of Durham’s Feb. 11 court filing, claimed Fox News was “getting awfully close to actual malice.”
In response to Hillary Clinton’s allegations towards Fox News, Sean Hannity dared Hillary to sue Fox for defamation during his Fox News Channel show.
In the speech, Clinton mocked President Donald Trump, saying “it’s funny, the more trouble Trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theories about me seem to get.”
Newsmax has more of the story:
Durham’s legal filing never accuses Hillary Clinton herself of spying or wiretapping the Trump campaign or the Trump White House.
But the special counsel does make clear her campaign lawyer Michael Sussmannn, who has ties to high-tech firm, sought to monitor the internet traffic of the Trump campaign, Donald Trump’s personal residence in Trump Tower, and the White House.
Still, Hillary Clinton’s threat of a lawsuit might have effectively chilled media reports on Durham’s allegations that her campaign spied on the Trump campaign.
False claims – including those made in the Steele dossier that was partially funded by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign – promoted the idea Trump’s campaign had secret ties to Russian agents. These allegations were used as the pretext for an FBI counter-intelligence probe of Trump and his campaign.
Several federal probes, including that of special counsel Robert Mueller, found no evidence Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.
“Fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again,” Clinton told New York Democrats in her speech. “And, as an aside, they’re getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks.”
Sussmann has moved to dismiss Durham’s charges against him, including the charge he lied to the FBI when he approached the bureau to an open a probe on Trump. Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working for the Clinton campaign.
Sussmann had indeed been on the payroll of the Clinton campaign.
CNN’s far-left media critic Oliver Darcy suggested: “it is a strong possibility” that Fox News has been backing down from its Clinton coverage.
Darcy cited Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill who told him: “They went too far with their bulls**t coverage about ‘spying’ over the last week, so have retreated.”
Darcy and CNN led efforts to have President Trump deplatformed from Twitter and have since called for the deplatforming of competing for conservative cable channels like Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN.
