There are a lot of pieces of evidence that Durham not only chased a Russian conspiracy theory to frame Hillary Clinton, but did so knowingly.

By "Vilifying" SVR Victim Julianne Smith, Kash Patel Establishes Precedent to Share the Epstein Files

Kash Patel is so desperate to fix his latest fuck up (revealing that the entire Durham investigation was built off Russian disinformation) he made to cover up his earlier fuck up (stoking an Epstein scandal that implicated his boss in uncomfortable ways) that he is openly clinging to dumb Federalist propaganda, in the process seemingly adopting the belief that Trump only won in 2016 with Jim Comey's interference.
