  Your final point is the critical one.
  So often one sees republicans trying to draw equivalence (“Ha!  Biden has classified documents at his house, he’s just as bad as Trump”) and then saying “both sides”.   
  But the point is, that if I was a US voter I’d absolutely want to know what documents biden has at his house, and why, and if the relevant authorities judge him to have broken the law, punish him appropriately!
context: Excellent reporting , TY. 
  Considering what you and your colleagues have uncovered I’d like an investigation into the bogus Durham/Barr investigation of the original, correct investigation. 
  Once again Barr has misled Americans >
  
  Hard to believe that those that tried to overthrow democracy still have their jobs. >
  
  Trumpublicans:
  The Horowitz report will end them all!
  The Durham report will end them all!
  These election lawsuits will end them all!
  These...the fuck we have now...pointless lawsuits by Trump against people who were mean to him? >
  
  I just loved that for the last several years, since President from my own recollection, I remember conservatives online saying, “Just wait, you’ll see.” As if some hidden cache of information would be magically revealed, and all their false perceptions of reality would be proven right. Still waiting on that.. for over a decade.. >
  
  
  Mr. Barr assigned Mr. Durham to ~~scour~~ cover up the Russia investigation for any wrongdoing in the spring of 2019 and later bestowed special counsel status on him, entrenching him to stay in place after Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election. >
  
  Inception: Investigation!
  Investigate the investigators investigating investigators investigating Trump.
  No, really. >
  
  Decades from now, people won't remember when the Investigation Wars started. They'll only know their assignment of which special counsel to investigate when they go into their special counsel job in Special Counsel City, population 200 million. >
  
  "Why are we investigating this?"
  "Because it's what we've always done." >
  
  “Coverup the investigations!”
  “Investigate the coverups!” >
  
  This is the biggest story going with very little public interest. Just total Trump burn out. >
  
  I mean this is like the 6 thing in 2 weeks >
  
  Trump is political cooties. >
  
  Putin's invasion of Ukraine has been a disaster for him in  so many ways >
  
  He’s still dead set on being on Russias side in the matter. 
  Saying if he was president he would defund Ukraine overnight and force them to the negotiating table. This war has mad me realize that trump probably is without a doubt working with Russias best intrests >
  
  Fking corrupt little villain working for Boss Hogg to finally get them Duke boys.  Pathetic little weasel ball sack. >
  
  Yo Dawg!
  I heard you like Trump Investigations.. >
  
  So I put investigators on your investigators investigating the investigators! >
  
  America will be lucky if it somehow survives Trump & Co. >
  
  Some version of America will survive, but it won’t be the “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” version. >
  
  That America never really existed >
  
  Now the Democrats want an investigation of the investigation that was an investigation of another investigation. Can we just stop investigating anything that doesn’t go exactly how we want it to go? Tit for tat has become the American way. >
  
  Well, from an outsider’s perspective: no, please don’t.  
  You seem to suggest that these investigations are wholly political and that both sides are the same.  
  To an observer with no dog in this fight, one side is trying to get to the bottom of what seems like a very nearly successful attempt to overturn democracy.  The other side is desperately trying to promote a false narrative of equivalency and launching ever more strident, ever more illusory investigations as distractions and for politically rather than genuinely ethically driven reasons. 
  This matters to the rest of us outside america because globally it normalises a political process where facts, process and truth telling are rejected or ignored.   For example in the politics in Brazil, the UK, Hungary etc etc. >
  
  The Durham probe is not the same as a confessional select committee or something. Everything they did was sanctioned by federal judges. John Durham is a very respected prosecutor, who has a career that speaks for itself. 
  I don’t think American right wingers believe in democracy. Their actions make that abundantly clear. They believe in tribalism, tit for tat, and pecking orders. 
  I don’t think the two sides are the same, but that doesn’t mean the side that I support is beyond reproach.
