The current media drumbeat is that nothing new in the Russian Collusion scandal can be learned from Special Counsel John Durham’s filings. That’s not true. In a recent filing, Mr. Durham says that a private contractor, Rodney Joffe of Neustar, collected internet data from surveillance of the Trump Tower and White House and shared it with the Clinton Campaign. The filing also shows that the Trump surveillance began during the Obama administration.

The contractor had access to information from a government funded cybersecurity research contract. His purpose in spying was to gather derogatory information on then President Trump. Apparently, the contractor was also offered a job in a future Clinton administration.

This recent information ties in with previous Durham filings. Durham says data was used by another Clinton connected lawyer, Sussman, to convince the FBI and CIA to investigate Trump. Remember the Mueller Special Counsel Trump Collusion Investigation which droned on for 3 years. This investigation was conducted using information obtained illegally by the Clinton campaign from all these intermediaries.

What does this all mean? It means Durham has potentially uncovered the most destructive political assassination in the history of the US and thanks to a routine court filing the nation now knows it. The Durham investigation needs to be pursued to the end and those responsible charged. So, to the media, there is something here and it’s long overdue to receive the proper coverage.
