How John Durham Buried Evidence He Had Been Doing the Work of Russian Spies ... and then Tulsi Gabbard Buried More - emptywheel
Briefly

The timeline of the Durham investigation is questioned, particularly its reliance on a Russian email dated July 26 that predated the draft SVR memo dated July 27 or later. Evidence suggests that the draft memo incorporated a fake email dated July 25, altered to mention the Olympics, while another fake email dated July 27 claims Hillary Clinton approved a plan on July 26. These developments imply the investigation was based on a Russian hoax, raising significant concerns regarding its legitimacy and the motives behind it.
The fake email integrated into the memo itself - bearing the date of July 25 but mentioning the Olympics - derives from the Thomas Rid story and the real Tim Maurer email - but it appears to have been altered to add the reference to the Olympics on July 27.
If this is, indeed, the timeline, then Durham - as well as John Ratcliffe and Kash Patel - should have recognized they were pursuing an investigation of Hillary Clinton based off a deliberate Russian spy hoax.
