Members of the propaganda press like David French are scrambling to peddle ignorant and disprovable lies about the damning Russiagate documents that were recently declassified.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley recently released the declassified appendix to Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report. The Durham report vindicated President Donald Trump and others who insisted the FBI acted improperly when it opened its investigation into the Trump campaign over allegations of collusion with Russia.

Never-Trumper David French reposted the claim on X and also tried to dismiss the latest revelations from the declassified annex: “Please read Cathy’s piece. Looks like parts of MAGA fell for a fake email, a fake so obvious that John Durham dismissed it.”

But as The Federalist’s CEO and co-founder Sean Davis said, French “is dumb, lazy and dishonest, so he’s obviously ignorant of the facts.”

Durham did not dismiss the email, nor did he conclude the email was “fake,” as pointed out by The Federalist’s Elle Purnell in a takedown of the shoddy analysis on the recent...

The Bulwark is an American center-right [laughable] news and opinion website launched in 2018 by Sarah Longwell, with the support of Bill Kristol and Charlie Sykes.

The Bulwark is essentially what remains The Weekly Standard, which apparently no longer exists.

"Cathy Young" was born in Moscow, birth name Yekaterina Jung.
