You can’t make this stuff up. The primary source for Christopher Steele’s phony Russian dossier was actually investigated by the FBI during the early Obama years for being a “national security threat” and a “Russian spy” who reportedly offered to pay Obama-connected people for ‘classified information’ if they got jobs in the administration.

I’ll note that Durham isn’t just looking into this madness, but he’s also comparing their investigation to how the DOJ handled an investigation of corruption into the Clinton Foundation:
And you wonder what’s taking him so long? It sounds like he’s being very thorough!
