Durham unmasks alliance between media, Democrat dirt diggers that triggered false Russia story
Court filings show plan to introduce evidence that Clinton campaign flooded media with "unverified derogatory information" on Trump.
Just days after Hillary Clinton emissaries Christopher Steele and Michael Sussmann approached the FBI in September 2016 with dirt that would infuse the Russia collusion probe, the campaign's opposition research firm sent some of the same information to New York Times journalists.
"Gents good to see you yesterday," a Fusion GPS executive wrote the reporters. "Sounded like you might be interested in some of the attached russia-related material. these are internal, open source research drafts, as agreed, pls treat this as background/not for attribution. as you'll see it's all easily replicated anyway."
The invitation to further dirty up Donald Trump continued: "Can also send you a [name]/Toronto memo once i dig it out. I'm skipping over [name] and [company name]. believe your guys have done that up ... leave it to you to distribute internally, or not, as you see fit. don't believe sunny isles/hollywood or panama or toronto have been touched by brands xy or z. amazingly, don't think anyone has done up the trump tower poker ring story either. pretty vivid color there."
The missive is one of hundreds of emails that Special Counsel John Durham has obtained between Clinton campaign operatives and journalists that spread "unverified derogatory information" about Donald Trump, spawning the false Russia collusion narrative shortly before Election Day 2016. They've now been made public in court filings.

Durham recently disclosed several communications with reporters in a filing designed to reject the Clinton campaign's claim that its Steele dossier and other research should be shielded from public view at an upcoming trial because it was covered by attorney client privilege.
Durham's argument is straightforward: Attorney-client privilege doesn't apply to materials the campaign distributed widely to third parties.
But his filing also puts the traditional media on notice that when Sussmann's trial on a charge of lying to the FBI begins next month, the unholy alliance between traditional media reporters and the Democrat machine will be laid bare for the world to see.
And it is clear prosecutors have a clear theory that much of the information spread and then reported by the news media was glaringly weak if not outright false. Durham's filings refer to the Clinton opposition research alternately as a...

Clean Sweep: All 22 Trump-Backed Candidates Win Primaries in Ohio, Indiana
All 22 candidates in Ohio and Indiana endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump completed a clean sweep of Tuesday’s primaries, indicating the strength of a Trump endorsement is as mighty as it has ever been.
Former White House political director Brian Jack exclusively tells Breitbart News:
What we saw in Texas earlier this year was confirmed yet again tonight: President Trump’s endorsement is the most important endorsement in politics. His endorsed candidates are a combined 55-0 in 2022 primaries, a continuation of the historic endorsement streak of success that started during his time at The White House.Populist candidate J.D. Vance’s win in the crowded Ohio Senate primary is welcome news to other Trump-endorsed candidates and is a potential harbinger of things to come in upcoming races in other states. Making Vance’s victory all the more impressive was his ability to stave off the crowded senate field with three other candidates who sought Trump’s endorsement, in addition to being targeted by the Republican establishment and donor class. Vance, who authored the best-selling book Hillbilly Elegy, received Trump’s endorsement on April 15 and enjoyed a substantial boost in the polls following the 45th President’s nod. Trump’s team tells Breitbart News that Vance was polling around ten percent in fifth place before Trump’s backing. He took home 32 percent of the vote Tuesday.

JD Vance put in tremendous work and has immense political talent—which put him in the position to earn the support of President Trump—but it was the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump that took a candidate who many insiders said was in 4th and at single digits in the polls, and in only two weeks, propelled him into a commanding first place finish. The power of President Trump’s endorsement is undeniable, his dominance over the Republican powerbrokers in D.C. cannot be overstated, and the promise of this MAGA Movement will not just define the Midterms, but it will win for years to come.Trump-backed Republican candidate Max Miller secured the Republican nomination for the 7th Congressional District. Miller challenged incumbent candidate Rep. Anthony Gonzalez in the primary, one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump. Gonzalez, in turn, refused the Ohio Republican Party’s calls to resign his seat. “The committee said their demand was in opposition to ‘the unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment proceeding against President Donald J. Trump,'” Breitbart News previously reported. He did however back out of the race in 2021.
“RINO Congressman Anthony Gonzalez, who has poorly represented his district in the Great State of Ohio, has decided to quit after enduring a tremendous loss of popularity, of which he had little, since his ill-informed and otherwise very stupid impeachment vote,” Trump said at the time.
Republican candidate Madison Gesiotto Gilbert won the Republican nomination for Ohio’s 13th District, beating out six other candidates vying for the nomination. She will square off against...

‘Borderline Illiterate’: Christopher Rufo rips teachers union boss for ‘absolutely deranged’ attack against parents
Weingarten said Rufo and “far-right advocates of privatizing public education” are “using Big Lies to undermine public schools,” according to her Friday op-ed in Time magazine.
“Randi’s legacy is one of failure, is one of harming kids, and is one of working against the interests of parents,” Rufo told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “She should immediately resign and enroll in a remedial English and grammar course.”
Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo ripped American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten in a Monday interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, addressing the latest battle in an ongoing feud.
Weingarten wrote a Friday op-ed in Time magazine titled “Extremists Are Using Lies to Undermine America’s Public Schools: We Need to Take a Stand,” which criticized “Rufo and other dark money-funded extremists” for their “attack” on public schools. Rufo, an advocate against the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools, responded to the op-ed, calling Weingarten “perhaps the single greatest oppressor of American children in the United States today.”
“She is virulently anti-education,” Rufo told the DCNF. “She wants to trap poor kids in failing schools with no exit and she’s fighting against the average parent, who simply wants to have a bit more control over his or her child’s education.”
“Sadly, Chris doesn’t like to be called out for not telling the truth,” Weingarten told the DCNF when reached for comment.
Weingarten claimed that “far-right advocates of privatizing public education are using Big Lies to undermine public schools,” calling on public school supporters to stand against “these ugly attacks,” according to the op-ed, which was written with Jonah Edelman, the CEO of Stand for Children. She also mentioned a lecture Rufo gave at Hillsdale College, where he discussed school choice.
In her op-ed, Weingarten also said “Rufo and other dark money-funded extremists” attack public schools through “lies, smears and distortions that stoke fear and anger” which are “spread on social media and Fox News.”
“They are demanding teachers remain neutral on, or worse—teach both sides of—Nazism, slavery, lynching, and other historical atrocities,” the op-ed read.
Depiction of a Black Spider-Man is racist because the character dates a White female, professor argues
In a recent Texas Tech University podcast, Bryan K. Hotchkins, a professor of educational psychology, discussed how the movie 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' is 'anti-black' and projects 'expectations of whiteness.'
'His budding love interest, Gwen, is a blond-haired, blue-eyed white girl,' the professor noted.
On the most recent episode of Texas Tech University’s (TTU) “Humanities Now” podcast, Bryan K. Hotchkins, a professor of educational psychology at TTU, discussed how the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is “anti-black” and projects “expectations of whiteness.”
The 2018 film features Miles Morales voicing the title role. Morales, who is African American and Puerto Rican, is the first Black person to depict the comic book superhero, Vulture reported around the film's release.
“This particular iteration of the Spider-Man movie, the ethnic version, is complete with suspense, action, and anti-black sentiment — which speaks to my being completely unsurprised at it being so notorious,” Hotchkins said.
The episode, titled “A Conversation with Dr. Bryan K. Hotchkins: ‘My Black is Exhausted,’” was released by TTU’s Humanities Center, which previously announced its "Anti-Racism!" theme for the 2021-2022 podcast episodes.
“When there’s finally a Spider-Man who is Black and Latinx, he is relegated to sharing a responsibility and the glory of protecting his city — while in every other Spider-Verse, there is a single super Spider-Hero,” Hotchkins stated.
He also found Morales’ interracial relationship to be problematic.
“His budding love interest, Gwen, is a blond-haired, blue-eyed white girl,” the professor noted. “As it pertains to the presence of a young black woman, there is not a single character who...
