Correction:
This article mistakenly claims that Hillary Clinton directed a firm to “spy” on Donald Trumps campaign as shows in the Durham report. However, the report does not claim this and the actions were not in fact directed by Hillary Clinton or her campaign. This article should have done a better job clarifying the differences between other people’s claims and our own. As always, if you ever feel an article needs to be corrected, please email [email protected] with the link and a reason why.

What’s Happening:
Things are looking bad for Democrats this November. It could be why they are scrambling to make something of their “J6” commission. Pelosi doesn’t seem to have uncovered anything to suggest Trump did anything wrong. So, Biden appears to be trying to help them out.
From The Hill:
[Joe] Biden is rejecting former President Trump’s claim of executive privilege over Trump-era White House visitor logs, ordering the National Archives to turn the documents over to the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Biden seems to think these visitor logs are going to prove something. Not likely. But since we’re going around releasing documents, why not the rest of the ones that expose the Democrats’ agenda? And that’s just what Trump is thinking.
From Fox News:
Former President Trump, during an exclusive interview with Fox News, said the Justice Department should “absolutely” declassify remaining records related to the original Trump-Russia probe, “especially in light” of Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing.
It appears Democrats are trying to come up with a strategy to counter the news that came out this week in John Durham’s filings.
So, it’s possible Biden—grasping at straws—is pushing to release these visitor logs in an attempt to distract from this recent news. Pelosi’s commission hasn’t come up with any “smoking gun.” Their claims that Trump was behind the J6 events don’t seem to be backed with evidence. What will those visitor logs prove?
But as Biden is trying to find an angle to protect Clinton (and probably other Democrats as well), Trump is calling for the rest of the Russiagate filed to be released. Trump, while in office, ordered the DOJ to declassify those documents. That order is still in place, according to Trump.
We’ve learned quite a bit about how Obama’s FBI and Clinton’s campaign tried to paint Trump as some kind of Russian operative. But there is probably much more about this than we know. Shouldn’t those involved be held accountable? This stuff happened while Biden was vice president. Do we think he wasn’t in the know?
Biden might try to resist as much as he can. But it doesn’t seem like he can stop this dam from breaking.
Key Takeaways:
- Joe Biden requested Trump visitor logs to be released, as part of the J6 commission.
- Trump is calling for all Russiagate documents to be declassified to the public.
