Ok. In the article there are some indisputable facts, mainly that special counsel John Durham has brought a felony indictment against Democratic Party lawyer Michael Sussmann on a false statements count. A false statement was allegedly made by Sussmann to the FBI’s then general counsel, James Baker, on Sept. 19, 2016.
Another indisputable fact is that Sussmann was a lawyer for Perkins Coie, a lawfirm that is the counsel of record for the Democratic National Committee and in 2015 as counsel for the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. Perkins Coie lawyer Marc Elias hired Fusion GPS for opposition research services. A notable product of that “opposition research” was the Steele dossier describing alleged attempts by Russia to promote the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.
That the article was written by Andrew C. McCarthy, that it appeared in the New York Post or that the Post is owned by Murdoch's News Corp certainly has no bearing on those facts.

Besides, the Federal Bureau of Investigation didn't debunk the effort made on the part of Russia during the campaign.

In this case the FBI did debunk the ridiculous claim by Sussmann that there was a 'secret server' between the Trump organization and the Russian Alfa Bank. And Sussmann lied about it to the FBI, hence the felony indictment.

I would call that wishful thinking on the part of Trump apologists.

If pointing out wrong doing makes someone an 'apologist' does that apply to both sides of the political divide or just to the true believers?

Oh no. Quite the opposite. I understand completely.
