Scandal Escalating

You run, run, run away
It's your heart that you betray
--Scandal

The Durham investigation into possible spying of the Trump campaign and presidency has filed a motion in which it was divulged that contractors and tech experts essentially spied on Donald Trump during his presidential campaign and while he was in office.

According to Durham, a tech company gained access to Trump servers and "exploited this arrangement by mining [Trump domain] traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump." Who precisely benefitted from this information was not specified in the filing, but dots can be readily connected between the tech firm and Hillary Clinton.

The implications were not lost on the former president, who issued a 'vindication' statement of sorts.

On in lead in to her Sunday morning program, Maria Bartiromo stated that she hopes "Donald Trump will sue them all for everything because they damaged his reputation throughout his four years in office. So much so that he was constantly on the defense...Every American should be outraged by this."

Of course, only some Americans will be outraged by this. Others will choose to look the other way. 

But as Durham continues to pile up the evidence, the scope of this scandal is growing toward proportions that will be difficult for all but the most partisan to ignore.

Maria made another nice point this morning. She wondered whether all of the noise being made by the Biden administration about a Ukraine invasion by Russia might be more fiction than fact--i.e., a distraction to keep public attention away from an escalating political scandal. 

Interesting speculation, particularly as new trickles out that Ukraine and Russian officials claiming that war is not imminent.
