Durham Releases Final Report, Concludes FBI Opened Trump Probe Despite No Verified Intel

Special Counsel John Durham released his final report on Monday following over three years of investigation into the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe.

According to Just the News, the report concludes that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened up an investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign in the summer of 2016.

Durham placed blame on the FBI and DOJ for failing to follow their own standards in a probe which should have never taken place – including the agency’s surveillance of an American citizen without basis.

“Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we concluded 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,” wrote Durham.

“The FBI personnel also repeatedly disregarded important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while acknowledging — both then and in hindsight — that they did not genuinely believe there was probable cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of foreign power.”

The FBI and DOJ restricted two investigations into Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election:

1) The Clinton Foundation investigation

2) Illegal foreign contributions to the Clinton Campaign

“No investigative activities occurred for months”

According to an FBI CHS in early 2016, the Clinton Campaign was “fully aware” of and “ok with” a foreign contribution in violation of federal law.

The FBI agent didn’t get receipts – and asked the source to stay away from the Clinton campaign.

The FBI made “no effort” to investigate “the Clinton campaign’s acceptance of an illegal “campaign contribution that was made by the FBI’s own long-term CHS.”
