The connection to Trump was absolutely a hoax. There was zero indication of it other than the stuff the Clinton campaign made up and the lies consistently repeated by Schiff. It made total sense to investigate Russian interference and zero sense to investigate Trump collusion.
I recall a wise senior member of the forums saying to wait until we see the results from Muller and we should do the same for Durham. Keep in mind that the IG investigation clearly left off that there were some actions that had an appearance of bias but they could not prove intent and that they were thwarted because they didn't have subpoena power. Based on that report, it makes sense that it should be further investigated. What will they find? I don't know.
The Durham investigation has been going on longer than Mullers investigation with zero results except for a low-level conviction. Now contrast that with the Muller investigation with several high-ranking convictions.
You pretend to be objective, but you are anything but. That explains why you despise my goalpost standards.
The Muller investigation was carried out professionally. It was to get to the facts and that is what it did. There was no "hoax".
ETA: Also let's not rewrite history.
"Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the (Mueller) report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as 'difficult issues' of law and fact concerning whether the President's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction," Barr wrote. "The Special Counsel states that 'while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.'"
