Liberal media outlets that downplayed former President Donald Trump’s claims of being spied on by the Hillary Clinton campaign have fallen eerily silent as news breaks that his claims were validated.
As outlined in a court filing submitted this month by Special Counsel John Durham, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid a tech company to hack servers at Trump Tower, the White House, Trump’s personal residences, and even one of his healthcare providers. Clinton is also believed to have paid lawyer Michael Sussmann to fabricate a connection between Trump and a Russian Bank.
Durham’s filing accuses Sussmann of lying to the FBI when he said he wasn’t working for a client when he offered the agency certain documents linking Trump to Alfa Bank. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.
“Yep, there was spying going on, and it was worse than we thought because they were spying on the sitting president of the United States,” says Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). “And it goes right to the Clinton campaign. So God bless John Durham.

“I mean, this is a threat to our democracy itself,” adds Rep. Michael Turner (R-OH). “It doesn’t matter really which political campaign this is or which political party this is. This is so wrong and allegations of such a level of illegal activity that goes directly to our faith in our own government that the truth must be found.”
As Trump himself noted, “In a stronger period of time…this crime would have been punishable by death.”
Not surprisingly, mainstream news sources like CNN, the Washington Post, and The New York Times have failed to report on a story that has been described as ‘worse than Watergate.’ A few years ago, these same outlets dismissed claims that Trump was being spied on by the Clinton campaign as a bid to distract the public from the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
“We’ve never seen anything like this in history,” continues Jordan. “This is truly unprecedented, truly something that has never happened in the history of our great country.”

Special Counsel John Durham was tapped in 2019 to lead an investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation produced no evidence to support claims that Trump had enlisted Russia’s help to win the 2016 presidential election. I wouldn’t be surprised if Durham’s investigation goes on to implicate Clinton allies James Comey (the FBI director fired by Trump in 2017), John Brennan (former CIA director and adviser to President Barack Obama), and James Clapper (former DNI who was accused of perjury after Edward Snowden revealed the extent of the NSA’s spying on American citizens).
