Headline: Durham ain't finished
Durham Reports that Clinton Campaign Paid to 'Infiltrate' Trump Tower, White House Servers. The allegation is:
"Lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to "infiltrate" servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an "inference" and "narrative" to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia, a filing from Special Counsel John Durham says."
"In connection with these efforts, Tech Executive-1 exploited his access to non-public and / or proprietary Internet data," the filing states. "Tech Executive-1 also enlisted the assistance of researchers at a USA -based university who were receiving and analyzing large amounts of Internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract."
"Tech Executive-1 tasked these researchers to mine Internet data to establish 'an inference' and 'narrative' tying then-candidate Trump to Russia," Durham states. "In doing so, Tech Executive-1 indicated that he was seeking to please certain 'VIPs,' referring to individuals at Law Firm-1 and the Clinton campaign."
"Former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia probe for the House Intelligence Committee under then-Rep. Devin Nunes, are-Calif. , Kash Patel, said the filing "definitively shows that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia."
If these allegations hold up and are true, it will bigger than Watergate.
The Turks aren't blaming Biden but Republicans are

Text of the article follows.
Istanbul (AP) — Turkey's president announced a significant reduction in taxes on basic food supplies Saturday as the country faces rampant inflation and numerous protests over eroding living standards.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the value-added tax would be lowered to 1% from 8% on food purchases. His decision will be published in the Official Gazette and go into effect on Monday.
Erdogan said, in addition to the tax discount, the government "expects" food companies to lower their prices by 7%. He said these foods play a significant part in inflation.
Official data for January showed inflation rose to a staggering 48.69% annually, although independent experts say the true number is much higher, more than 115%.
"We will not let inflation crush our nation," Erdogan said.
Critics, however, say the country is suffering from high inflation because of Erdogan's insistence on lowering interest rates. He believes inflation is caused by high interest rates, in opposition to established economic theory.
The central bank, whose independence has been eroded by the government, had brought down the key policy rate by 500 points since September to 14%, but paused rate cuts in January.
A currency crisis was triggered by the cuts and the Turkish lira hit record lows in December. Because Turkey relies on imports for its energy needs as well as raw materials and many food supplies, prices have skyrocketed.
The government insists that Turkey's economic downturn has been caused by foreign interference and external factors. Erdogan declared Saturday that Turkey would combat the "threats to destroy our economy" with all available means.
The lira closed this week at 13.49 against the dollar. The record low in December was 18.36. The currency has been hovering around 13.5 since that record low after the government instituted a new financial tool to push savers away from buying foreign currencies and encourage them to convert their dollars to Turkish liras with a deposit scheme protected against currency fluctuations.
Households and businesses have been suffering from sharp hikes in energy prices. Authorities raised electricity tariffs on Jan. 1, spiking prices by more than 50% for many homes and as much as 127% for businesses and high-consumption households. Some protests have broken out and many small businesses like restaurants have been sharing their electricity bills on social media to show how close they are to being driven out of business.
Strikes are also taking place in Turkey as inflation erodes the value of workers' paychecks. Cargo, food delivery, factory and warehouse workers have halted work at numerous companies and social media campaigns to boycott companies that don't raise salaries are continuing.
Thousands of health-care workers went on a one-day strike Tuesday, demanding better working conditions and pay, as well as measures to protect them against increased verbal and physical assaults from patients or their relatives.
Turkey's minister of treasury and finance, Nureddin Nebati, also announced a step to encourage people to bring gold that they have been saving. He said 1,500 gold drop-off locations would begin operation on March 1 to integrate the precious metal into the financial system as deposits. He added people would be able to withdraw their gold in physical form if they wished to.

Biden Goes Double Or Nothing On National Debt By Placing $30 Trillion On The Bengals
Inglewood, CA—President Joe Biden is planning to wipe out the National Debt with a genius double or nothing bet on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Biden held a meeting with the Treasury Department to go over the plan.
"My bookie, ole Jiffy Dan, was a little hesitant to accept a $30 Trillion bet but I says to him, 'Look, Jiffy Baby, if you hook me up I'll pardon you for all your illegal gambling," said Biden.
He then explained how Jiffy Dan was a smart Black man from South Central who was surprisingly articulate before Dr. Jill Biden reminded him to act less racist.
"Look, here's the honest truth, Jack," said Biden, refocused. "The Bengals are in it to win it. They do that and the slate is clean. No more debt!
Sources in the Treasury Department reveal everyone in the meeting disagreed with the president's plan except for the one guy they're pretty sure is a Chinese plant.
"President Xidung, I think this is a great idea," said Xau Fong.
The Bengals are the current underdogs going into this year's Super Bowl, but economic experts say this was the only way Jiffy Dan would accept such a large bet.
"If we lose, at least only half the debt goes to China. The rest will go to this Jiffy guy," said economic strategist Brent Esther. "Maybe that wouldn't be so bad."
And Republicans Think This Is True

But it isn't, even though the Republican douche who posted it didn't even bother to provide a source. The article appeared in the well-knows (at least to Democrats) satire site called "The Babylon Bee".
