Durham’s job was to shield the fbi & DOJ and that’s all he did.
“I have a lot of friends in Russia,” Halper said. “One of them is Slava Truvnikoff [sic]. Do you know Truvnikoff? Truvnikoff was the director of KGB and the FSB.”
Halper told Papadopoulos: “I brought him to talk to [redacted] to talk to us about how their intelligence service works.”
“He was very forthcoming,” Halper said. ...”
