'Down the tubes': Sean Spicer rages after John Durham loses one other Russiagate case

Former President Donald Trump's first White Home press secretary, Sean Spicer, voiced outrage after a jury in Alexandria, Virginia, dealt a major blow to particular counsel John Durham's prison investigation into the FBI's Russia inquiry.

On Newsmax, the place he co-hosts the present Spicer & Co., Spicer gave an early response to Russian nationwide Igor Danchenko being discovered not responsible Tuesday on 4 false statements costs over allegations that the primary supply of British ex-spy Christopher Steele lied to the FBI about his sourcing for the now-discredited anti-Trump file.

"We have been ready and ready and instructed maintain our breath there's extra coming — simply be affected person, be affected person. That is — I do not even suppose disappointing does justice to how unhealthy that is," Spicer mentioned. "That is simply — after every little thing that the Proper has been by and the entire misallegations and misappropriation and the 'Russia, Russia, Russia' that was taken us by the primary couple years of this Trump administration. To see this all go down the tubes, and the entire religion put into this particular counsel, John Durham, unbelievably disappointing."

Durham's investigation started greater than three years in the past. Though the prosecutor has secured one conviction to date, the one different case he is introduced, towards lawyer Michael Sussmann, led to acquittal. Whereas Trump and his allies declare the businessman-turned-politician was unfairly focused in a bid to undermine his marketing campaign and presidency, Democrats and a few authorized observers declare the inquiry is supposed to undercut Robert Mueller's particular counsel investigation and inflict injury on Trump's political foes.

Though it's unclear whether or not Durham will convey any extra costs, he's anticipated to put in writing a report on his findings.
