Donald Trump said Special Counsel John Durham has revealed top Democrats actually spied on the President of the United States. In a series of statements on Sunday, the 45th president said Hillary Clinton and Democrats committed a far bigger crime than Watergate, which is an insult to the American people.
NEW!
President Donald J. Trump:
“What Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left Democrats did with respect to spying on a President of the United States, even while in office, is a far bigger crime than Watergate. It will be interesting to see how it was covered by the media and… pic.twitter.com/a80zx3KJXc

Trump pointed out, it will be interesting to see what the media and RINOs like Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will do about it. His comments come as Durham has found Clinton paid hackers to breach Trump Tower servers to create a fake connection to Russia and have the media report about it.
Trump is now calling for criminal prosecution of all Democrats involved in manufacturing the Russia hoax. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Trump is right on target calling for criminal prosecution of Democrats involved in its fabrication.
The Ohio lawmaker said Durham has confirmed Hillary Clinton and her allies were spying on the 2016 Trump campaign and his administration. He added, the scope of malign activities by the Democrats is found to be worse than previously thought. Jordan noted, illegal activity by Clinton and Democrats undermines faith in U.S. politics.
“The conspiracy theory and misinformation came from Adam Schiff, the Democrats and the mainstream press,” said the Republican congressman. “Schiff said there is more than circumstantial evidence that President Trump worked with the Russians. That was false, completely false. The media reported it. It’s proven to be false…there is certainly now more than circumstantial evidence that the Democrats and the FBI and the Clinton campaign spied on President Trump’s campaign…they’re the ones peddling the false narratives all the time.”
Investigative reporter Glenn Greenwald also criticized mainstream media for under-reporting these latest findings. He posted a summary of Durham’s most recent filing challenging people to find “liberal outlets covering it.” The journalist also said one of Durham’s key suspects is now the Biden administration’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, adding this may be one reason the media is not covering Durham’s findings.
GOP Representatives Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Steve Scalise (R-La.) have also called out the mainstream media for not covering the latest reported developments in the Durham probe. In a tweet Sunday, Stefanik said the media is not making a peep about reports of the Clinton campaign paying operatives to infiltrate Trump Tower and White House servers. The New York lawmaker contended this is the “biggest political corruption story of our lifetime.”
Yesterday it was revealed that the Clinton Campaign paid a tech company to infiltrate Trump Tower/White House servers and drum up the now-debunked phony Russian collusion hoax that the media ran with.
Now that same media is silent on this massive scandal.

Scalise, for his part, blasted the media for running with the Russia collusion hoax while sitting silently on this massive scandal.
