New Book Updates “Russiagate” and Prosecution Revenge Threats

Pleased to share that an updated edition of The Complete Annotated Durham ‘Russiagate’ Report, is due out November 20, 2024. Andrew Kreig’s timely publication exposes a 2023 U.S. Justice Department report as a Trump-friendly probe that weaponized law enforcement against Trump’s opponents and absolved Trump supporters of collusion with Russia to tilt the 2016 U.S. presidential election their way.

According to a press release from the author–who served as a clerk to a Boston judge: 

“As the reelected Trump and his allies prepare to implement his campaign pledge to use partisan prosecutions for revenge against his critics and political opponents, the book provides a case history of how former U.S. Justice Department Special Counsel John Durham and Attorney General William Barr implemented such a process with scant scrutiny from watchdogs.

“As a warning to Americans based on Trump’s ongoing threats, the book presents Durham’s report along with exclusive, devastating critiques of his record and those of colleagues seeking frame-ups or other revenge.

Building on research begun 14 years ago, the new edition includes revelations regarding current Russian threats to the 2024 elections. Such threats involve the use of spies, hackers, fake news and payoffs to promote Russia’s preferred election outcomes in the U.S. and in U.S.-allied targets, including Great Britain, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Sweden, Ukraine and West African nations. The book also reports on what Kreig calls “misleading” findings by special counsels David Weiss and Robert Hur. And it analyzes the Supreme Court’s decision to grant Trump wide presidential immunity. The main case study shows that Durham’s zeal to protect his Trump patrons led him and like-minded colleagues to scapegoat targets who were not convicted.

“Worse,” Kreig writes, Durham “cherry-picked evidence to avoid documenting serious threats to U.S. elections from Russians and their nefarious U.S. allies. ” The book also reveals that four federal judges have vacated convictions won by Durham and his close colleagues–on grounds of prosecution misconduct.
