Mere Words Won't Deter Corrupt Officials

 While many are treating the Durham report as the final word on defamatory Russian collusion claims against President Donald Trump, punishment and prosecutions are absent.

The Durham report explains in great detail what many of us already know: the FBI, the broader intelligence community, various Washington insiders, and the Hillary Clinton campaign conspired to influence the 2016 election with fake claims that Donald Trump had engaged in unlawful Russian collusion.

Various of the particular details had already become public through a combination of court rulings, news reports, and the mostly empty Mueller report.

Perhaps the people celebrating this report think the embarrassment of being called out in the report is punishment enough.

The problem of reports leading nowhere is not limited to the recent Durham report.

Rather than being the start of accountability, documents like the Durham report are a type of performance art.

While nothing in the Durham report surprises me, and its conclusions are incontrovertible, I am not nearly as excited as the professional commentariat.
