Rep. Matt Gaetz Claims John Durham Is Part Of The Cover Up

Republican Representative Matt Gaetz made some strong claims regarding Special Counsel John Durham during the House’s recent Judiciary Committee.

Gaetz made it clear he was upset that no one is in jail from Durham’s  investigation into the FBI’s corruption regarding their handling of the Russia Hoax

The lawmaker from Florida even compared Durham to the Washington Generals the basketball team that gets paid to lose to the Harlem Globetrotters.

Gaetz at one point stated “When you are part of the COVER-UP, Mr. Durham, then it makes our job harder.”

Check out what Mediaite reported:

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tore into Special Counsel John Durham on Wednesday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing and accused the Trump-era prosecutor of being part of the “cover-up.”

Gaetz, known for his flamethrowing rhetoric, lit into Durham for not prosecuting more individuals that he believed were part of a conspiracy that fueled the FBI’s investigation into allegations the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia.

“Do you see how silly this looks? You’ve found the lawyer, you found the phones, but the actual dude who got ordered by Western intelligence to go start this thing you couldn’t find,” Gaetz declared as he grilled Durham.

“It’s, it’s kind of laughable. It seems like more than disappointment. It seems like you weren’t really trying to expose the true core of the corruption that you were trying to. You were trying to go at it another way,” Gaetz raged.

“Yeah. As we said in the report, I said in my opening remarks, we pursued the facts as best we could,” Durham replied.

“How about this fact, Mr. Durham? The entire Mueller team does a hard reset on their Apple phone in synchronization to wipe away evidence. Did you investigate that?” Gaetz then asked.

Durham grew angry with Gaetz after the far-right congressman accused the prosecutor of being involved in a “cover up” to protect those his office was supposed to be investigating.

Gaetz and Durham sparred over the scope of the special counsel’s investigation into the origins of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump administration over allegations the former president’s campaign coordinated with Russia in 2016 to damage his political opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Durham’s report was critical of the FBI and the Department of Justice’s handling of the Russia probe, but Gaetz suggested Durham didn’t go far enough.
