It foretells a financial fiasco for the deeply indebted former reality TV game show host. And it suggests that Mazars is cooperating with legal authorities to provide more incriminating information.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the explosive magnitude of this story, Fox News has completely ignored it. There was no mention of it on any of their primetime programs Monday night. There is still no mention of it on their website. It&#8217;s almost as if Fox News is purposefully trying to make the story disappear because it reflects so disastrously on Dear Leader Trump. Ya think?<\/p>\n<p>In place of the Mazars story that would ordinarily dominate the news cycle at a journalistically credible operation, Fox News is relentlessly plugging a story that has absolutely no substantive news value. That story concerns a filing by the flagrantly partisan special counsel, John Durham, that rambles on tediously about an attorney who reported suspicious Internet activity between Trump and Russian computer networks.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52039\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News has been completely distorting the Durham Nothingburger<\/a><\/strong> to falsely claim that it proves that Hillary Clinton was spying on Trump. There is no truth to that whatsoever, and the filing doesn&#8217;t even make that allegation. But that didn&#8217;t stop Sean Hannity from fictionalizing the story. He ranted that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s where this is even worse than Watergate. Not only did they hack into the opposing campaign and steal material like in the case of Watergate, but then they hacked into the office of the president of this great country, according to Durham&#8217;s blockbuster filing late Friday.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hannity claims the Clinton campaign hacked into Trump campaign\u2019s server\/the office of president and stole material according to the filing <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IHYda2vWyG\">pic.twitter.com\/IHYda2vWyG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1493406462294388736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>To be clear, no one hacked into Trump&#8217;s campaign, and no one stole any materials.
