    Can you be more specific, as in naming them?

    That would require a book. I'm not interested in writing a book. The 316 page Durham Report will suffice. I provided quotes for your convenience. Read them.

    No, those weren't "lies", those were cited as possible evidence/proof  and/or suspicions that sparked the investigation.

    Who claimed actual knowledge they were authentic?

    You just want to apply the word "lie" to the whole affair as if it were totally bogus.  Never mind what the investigation actually uncovered - Russia did help Trump, they did talk to the Trump campaign, Trump did commit obstruction.  

    And I predict we haven't heard the last of the Trump/Russia relationship, which extends beyond the 2016 campaign.

    They were deceitful lies.

    You and I both know there was no point other than trying to imply Fox is no different than everyone else - regardless of scale and substance - which is patently absurd.

    It amazes me how quickly the contents of a single thread escape you.

    Specifically, what were the "lies" of Russia, Russia, Russia?

     

    Russian collusion, Crossfire Hurricane, the Steel Dossier. All garbage. 

    After four years, we finally have the full 316-page report from Justice Department special counsel John Durham, and it’s a damning indictment of some of our country’s leading institutions. 

    Durham said the FBI should have never launched an investigation into alleged Russian collusion with Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, given the slim evidence

    urham slammed the FBI’s investigation – dubbed Crossfire Hurricane – into the Trump campaign for its “serious lack of analytic rigor” and a “cavalier attitude” for accuracy. 

    “...We conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report,” Durham wrote.

    For its part, the FBI does not dispute the report’s findings, but says it has already taken action and added safeguards in its investigations.

    Durham also called out the role of the (now-discredited) Steele dossier, the opposition research gathered for the Hillary Clinton campaign that was in turn given to the FBI. Durham said the dossier was “unvetted and unverified,” yet was used as justification for surveillance. 

    “Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," the report stated.

    As Durham details, the FBI fumbled the “collusion” investigation. But mainstream media outlets also deserve blame for breathlessly going along with the Trump-Russia allegations
