found that Vladimir Putin’s regime’s “illegal” activities were welcomed by the Trump campaign, but it exonerated the president from charges that he had colluded with the Russians. This was the big prize for the Republicans, who then vindictively went after the Democrats and the FBI via Durham.
Many Trump officials and Russians were charged as a result of the Mueller investigation. The Russians were unable to be extradited, as would likely be the case for any Chinese operatives charged in a Canadian probe. But the two probes, which went on for six years, opened a hornet’s nest.
