Former President Donald Trump recently spoke about Special Counsel John Durham’s two-year-long investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, saying he thinks the probe is “just the beginning” of what will be revealed to the public.

“It looks like this is just the beginning, because, if you read the filing and have any understanding of what took place, and I called this a long time ago, you’re going to see a lot of other things happening, having to do with what, really, just is a continuation of the crime of the century,” Trump said. “This is such a big event, nobody’s seen anything like this.”

“Who would think a thing like this is even possible?” Trump said. “Durham is also coming up with things far bigger than anybody thought possible—Nobody ever thought a thing like this would be even discussed, let alone an act like this committed.”

To Trump’s point about Durham, Democrats have taken aim at the special counsel and his final report.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee responded to a well-timed New York Times report earlier this year that claimed that there were ethical concerns during the investigation that led to several staff departures.

They included alleged concerns over former Attorney General William Barr’s involvement in the probe, as well as the decision to go to trial lacking sufficient evidence.

“These reports about abuses in Special Counsel Durham’s investigation — so outrageous that even his longtime colleagues quit in protest — are but one of many instances where former President Trump and his allies weaponized the Justice Department,” committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) noted in a statement.

“The Justice Department should work on behalf of the American people, not for the personal benefit of any president. As we wait for the results of ongoing internal reviews, the Senate Judiciary Committee will do its part and take a hard look at these repeated episodes, and the regulations and policies that enabled them, to ensure such abuses of power cannot happen again,” he said.

The DOJ previously suggested that Durham’s report will likely be made public when the investigation ends.

Trump also brought down the house over the weekend when he spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference and delivered the closing act.

“With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers. They are people that don’t get it, although in some cases they get it for their wallets. We can’t do that. We can’t let that happen. We will drive out the globalists we will cast out the god minutes. We will throw off the political class that hates our country, they actually hate our country, no walls, no borders,” Trump declared.

“We will liberate America from these villains and scoundrels once and for all. When we started this journey. A journey like there has never been before. There’s never been anything like this. We had a Republican Party that was ruled by freaks, neo-cons, globalists, open borders, zealots, and fools,” he added.

“But, we are never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush. We’re not going back to people that want to destroy our great social security system, even some of our own party. I wonder who that might be that wants to raise the minimum age of social security, just seventy seventy-five or even eighty, in some cases, and that is out to cut Medicare to a level that it will no longer be recognizable. And when that was there. The original thought that’s what they always come back to remember that have to remember that you heard it here. First. We are never going back to a party that wants to give unlimited money to fight foreign wars that are endless wars,” he declared.
