Special Counsel John Durham has finally released his final report on the FBI’s attempt to make Hillary Clinton president. He found to no one’s surprise, that the FBI was corrupt in opening the Russian collusion investigation against Trump since they did not have one verifiable fact in the Steeloe/Hillary/DNC dossier. Durham condemned the FBI for using nothing more than a figment of someone’s imagination to open the investigation, to begin with.
Durham’s 300-page report to Congress should give the Republicans some powerful ammunition to use against the FBI. I think they need to force Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bill Barr, Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, James Baker, Robert Mueller, and Andrew Sussmann among others to testify under oath. They should also recommend charges against everyone who signed off on the FISA warrants against Carter Page. When you sign off, you are attesting that you have verified the facts stated in the warrant, all of which were false with no evidence to support them.
Durham said the FBI utilized “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence” to open the weaponized and fake investigation. He pointed out that the FBI did not use the same standard in their investigation of Hillary Clinton, who was most definitely guilty of mishandling classified documents.
Durham also found that the FBI:
“Did not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations” made in the infamous Steele Dossier.
“As noted, it was not until mid-September that the Crossfire Hurricane investigators received several of the Steele Reports. Within days of their receipt, the unvetted and unverified Steele Reports were used to support the probable cause in the FBI’s FISA applications targeting (Carter) Page, a U.S. citizen who, for a period of time, had been an advisor to Trump.”

“Upon receipt of unevaluated intelligence information from Australia, the FBI swiftly opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. In particular, at the direction of Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok opened Crossfire Hurricane immediately. Strzok, at a minimum, had pronounced hostile feelings toward Trump.”
“The matter was opened as a full investigation without ever having spoken to the persons who provided the information. Further, the FBI did so without (i) any significant review of its own intelligence databases, (ii) collection and examination of any relevant intelligence from other U.S. intelligence entities, (iii) interviews of witnesses essential to understand the raw information it had received or (iv) using any of the standard analytical tools typicallv employed by the FBI in evaluating raw intelligence,” the report concluded.
“Had it done so … the FBI would have learned that their own experienced Russia analysts had no information about Trump being involved with Russian leadership officials, nor were others in sensitive positions at the CIA, the NSA, and the Department of State aware of such evidence concerning the subject. In addition, FBI records prepared by Strzok in February and March 2017 show that at the time of the opening of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI had no information in its holdings indicating that at any time during the campaign anyone in the Trump campaign had been in contact with any Russian intelligence officials,” it said.
“In the eighteen months leading up to the 2016 election, the FBI was required to deal with a number of proposed investigations that had the potential of affecting the election. In each of those instances, the FBI moved with considerable caution. In one such matter… FBI Headquarters and Department officials required defensive briefings to be provided to Clinton and other officials or candidates who appeared to be the targets of foreign interference,” it said. “In another, the FBI elected to end an investigation after one of its longtime and valuable CHSs went beyond what was authorized and made an improper and possibly illegal financial contribution to the Clinton campaign on behalf of a foreign entity as a precursor to a much larger donation being contemplated.”
