Devin Nunes says Durham had to bring the Sussman trial to Washington, but it’s a very slim piece of the conspiracy.
He compared Washington DC to the Magical Kingdom. Everyone’s related, jurors are contaminated and being groomed
Sussman pleaded guilty hoping he can get a few jurors to hold this up, so he can get off scott free.
This is the top of the iceberg. The Danchecko trail starts in a couple of months in Virgina and it will be a far different jury.

John Durham unseals confirmation that FBI paid Russian Agent who lied about Trump Russia Collusion

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PfBBDMsr52I

John Solomon breaks down the bombshell news that Danchenko was a paid FBI informant.

“Now we know that while he was doing all that work for the FBI, getting paid by American tax dollars, he was lying to the FBI. Not once, not twice - five times in the indictment and John Durham says he’s gonna reveal many more lies that Igor Danchenko told the FBI during this time… Every part of the Steele Dossier and Igor Danchenko’s lies are gonna get exposed at next months trial.”


John Solomon reports that yesterday, Special Counsel John Durham, “Persuaded the federal judge in the upcoming trial of Igor Danchenko to unseal a motion revealing that Danchenko, the primary source of the now-discredited Steele dossier, was paid by the FBI as a confidential human source for more than three years until the fall of 2020 when he was terminated for lying to agents.”

In other words, Igor Danchenko was a paid FBI informant living in Washington, DC when he was supposed to be a super-secret Russian source.

In other words, Hillary Clinton paid an actual Russian spy (Danchenko), to fabricate evidence about Trump, which was then presented by corrupt agents within the FBI to the FISA court, to justify spying on Donald Trump.

John Solomon told Sean Hannity, “[The main source] for the Christopher Steele dossier, which was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign is a person that the FBI believes, starting in 2008 was tied to Russian intelligence. Why did they believe that? Because they had evidence he was soliciting Obama administration appointees, saying he would pay them if they would leak him classified information.

“He was working with the Russian intelligence agencies, he leaves the country he comes back they find out that he’s the primary source for Christopher Steele, the FBI fires Christopher Steele, because he was leaking to the media they then hire this guy to be a confidential human source…

“And now, we know that while he was doing all that work for the FBI, getting paid by American Tax Dollars, he was lying to the FBI, not once, not twice – five times in the indictment – and John Durham says he’s going to reveal many more lies that Igor Danchenko told the FBI during this time.

“The FBI’s case for Russia Collusion couldn’t be any more embarrassing than what we now know…

“That’s why the Justice Department withdrew two of those FISA warrants. There is no basis for them to stand under the law and now we know most of the confidential informant information the FBI was getting about Donald Trump was completely manufactured, including that famous pee tape, you know, the whole story about the Moscow hotel.

“John Durham reveals in tonight’s filing he’s going to reveal that the Moscow and hotel employees who were allegedly quoted the Steele Dossier, they said they never told anyone, they didn’t know anything about Donald Trump; terrible things that went on there. It’s not true. Every part of the Steele dossier and Igor Danchenko’s lies are going to get exposed at next month’s trial.”

Devin Nunes discusses the Durham news that broke today, in which we found out that Danchenko was a paid FBI informant.

“The fact that they [FBI] hired this guy at that time and brought him onto the payroll, clearly it was to obstruct our investigation. This guy would have zero relevant information. The FBI knew the whole damn dossier was a total frickin’ fabrication and a lie… What do they do? They bring him on the inside.”

Danchenko was a PAID informant living in DC when he supposed to be this supersecret Russian source.

October should be interesting🍿

Remember what happened in March 2017: Devin Nunes gave that press conference in which he looked like he'd just seen a ghost.

He'd been shown intel reports that had been circulating at the highest levels of the outgoing Obama administration that included transcripts of phone calls and text messages between members of...

are you sitting down?

...members of the Trump transition team.

Discussing the transition.

That's right. Somebody was surveilling and intercepting the electronic comms between members of the Trump transition team, transcribing those conversations and putting them in reports being passed around inside the Obama White House.

Somebody tipped Nunes off and showed him those reports with the transition team transcripts in them.

That alerted the FBI Crossfire Hurricane team to the fact they had insiders working against them to tip off the good guys and expose what they were doing.

One of the first countermeasures the FBI Crossfire Hurricane team took once they realized they faced exposure was to hire Danchenko as a CHS and put him on ice for 3 1/2 years.

Imagine if someone had exposed Danchenko and gotten to him back in 2017 when the RussiaGate narrative was still gaining steam; the Comey memos, the Mueller Special Counsel being formed, etc.

If it had come out then in 2017 that the Steele Dossier was made up fake crap from a Russian intelligence officer, their narrative dies.

So it was very important to keep Danchenko hidden at that time.

Which they accomplished by making him a CHS and paying him.

After 3 1/2 years of being assured he was protected, and that his role would never be exposed, not only was Danchenko exposed, he was dragged out into the light and hit with 5 false statement charges by The Special Counsel Who Was Supposed To Never Happen.

And now this Special Counsel is going to use Dancheko's trial to blow a lot of minds as he maps out exactly how the FBI caught their own CHS in lie after lie, after lie..and kept paying him and using his fake **** to go after Donald Trump and his associates, all from March 2017 through October of 2020.

Ain't life grand?

Nobody else is telling you this stuff.

A few other researchers - Fool Nelson for one - also have long suspected Danchenko was a FBI CHS. Tonight we got that confirmed.

They knew the dossier was fake. The allegations in it were fake.
They knew it came from the Clinton campaign.

They used it in a FISA warrant anyway. They committed a massive fraud on the FISA court.

And they didn't stop there.

The FBI Crossfire Hurricane team then hired the Russian dirty trickster behind the Steele Dossier as a CHS for 3 1/2 years, from March of 2017 to October of 2020 as they continued to work to sabotage and undermine the Presidency of one Donald J. Trump.

Treason.

I feel the Anon community are not as stoked on this situation as we should be, because we are desensitized to this reality. We’ve known this **** for 5 years. The highest echelons of the DNC, IC, Media, Big Tech, etc., conspired to illegitimately remove Donald Trump from office. Treason, sedition, conspiracy. All the above.

This is nothing new to us, but it’s starting to come to fruition, in the form of evidence, admissible in the court of law.

Durham Denied (Again) - Igor Danchenko Not Guilty On All Counts
BY TYLER DURDEN - TUESDAY, OCT 18, 2022

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...lty-all-counts


Igor Danchenko, a key source of information in the discredited Steele Dossier, was found not guilty on all counts related to lying to the FBI about his relationship to Trump opposition research documents.




The case was prosecuted by Special Counsel John Durham, who directly questioned most of the witnesses in the case.

Prior to Tuesday's verdict, the judge in the case, Anthony J. Trenga, dismissed one of five counts against Danchenko - which had to do with whether Danchenko "concealed" an email from longtime Washington PR executive and Democratic supporter, Charles Dolan Jr.

And on Tuesday, Danchenko was found not guilty of the remaining counts by a 12-member jury (via The Reationary);

• Count 2. March 16, 2017: Danchenko told FBI agents he received a call in late July 2016 from a person he thought was Sergei Millian, when Danchenko knew he had never received a call from Millian.
  
• Count 3. May 18, 2017: Danchenko gave a false statement to FBI agents that he “was under the impression” that the late July 2016 call was from Millian.
  
• Count 4. October 24, 2017: Danchenko falsely stated to FBI agents that he believed he spoke to Millian on the phone on more than one occasion.
  
• Count 5. November 16, 2017: Danchenko lied that he “believed he has spoken to [Millian] on the telephone,” when Danchenko well knew he had never spoken to Millian.

Danchenko's information comprised around 80% of the information contained in the infamous dossier assembled by former British spy Christopher Steele.

This is the second case in three years lost by Durham related to the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 elections.

As Techno Fog of The reactionary details, that’s the difficulty of proving a false statements case when the FBI and the Mueller Special Counsel were uninterested in pursuing the truth.

As we’ve seen from the course of this trial, the most important takeaways from this trial have never been the alleged lies. Danchenko himself has long been known as a fabricator, with his deceptions revealed as soon as information on his involvement in the Steele Dossier, his background, and his FBI interviews was released. Cue observations from 2020 from ourselves and many others:

What is more important is that which informs our understanding of the Trump/Russia investigation and the FBI/DOJ/Mueller misconduct that sparked Crossfire Hurricane and continued through the Mueller investigation. That information was revelatory. The institutions were on trial alongside Danchenko, with Durham recognizing in closing arguments that “the FBI mishandled the investigation at issue.” And the institutions rightly suffered. Danchenko might have been spared, but is there any reasonable doubt as to the FBI’s incompetence - and guilt?

This past week, we provided some of the most comprehensive coverage of the Danchenko trial that you’ll find. Our goal is to always provide the most relevant information, preferably through transcript excerpts where you, the reader, can see the testimony for yourself and reach your own conclusions. At the same time, we also aim for concision. We hope that we achieved those goals.

For us, here are some of the most important highlights from the trial:

• Steele was offered “up to a million dollars” to corroborate the Dossier.

• Danchenko was a confidential human source for the FBI from March 2017 through October 2020. He was accused of giving a number of false statements during that time period. He was paid over $200,000 as an informant, and his status as a CHS buried him as a witness. “Sources and methods.”
  
• The Mueller Special Counsel had FBI Agents and Analysts investigating the Steele Dossier - but purposefully limited the scope of that inquiry, making sure any information damning to their investigation would not be uncovered. Former FBI Intelligence Analyst Brittany Hertzog testified she learned of Charles Dolan’s connections to Danchenko during her time with the Mueller Special Counsel. She requested to interview Dolan; others opposed that request. The opposition won out.

• FBI Special Agent Amy Anderson, also part of the Mueller Special Counsel, requested to interview Dolan. Her request was shut down by superiors.

• Director Comey was informed on all parts of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, from its beginnings up until (theoretically) his termination.
  
• FBI Special Agent Kevin Helson, who handed Danchenko as a confidential human source, omitted key derogatory information – that Danchenko was the target of a previous espionage case – in his opening paperwork.
  
• FBI Special Agent Kevin Helson was recommended to assess Danchenko’s employer and look at the financial nature of Danchenko’s employment. Helson failed to do so.
  
• FBI Special Agent Kevin Helson was recommended to investigate whether Danchenko lied in his visa and immigration documents. Helson failed to do so.
  
• FBI Special Agent Kevin Helson (there’s a purpose in the repetition) was recommended to conduct a polygraph of Danchenko to determine if he “has ever been tasked by a foreign individual, entity or government to collect information or to perform actions adverse to the U.S. interest.” Helson failed to polygraph Danchenko.
  
• Crossfire Hurricane started based on “a suggestion of some kind of suggestion” from a “friendly foreign government.” It was opened as a “full investigation,” which allowed for the use of “investigative tools” not allowed at the “preliminary investigation stage.
  
• The FBI wanted a FISA on Carter Page “fairly early on” – around the end of July 2016 or soon thereafter. However, the FBI didn’t have enough to “secure” the warrant. The evidence wasn’t there.
  
• FBI Analyst Brian Auten was unable to “confirm or corroborate” any of the Steele Dossier claims from the receipt of the document until the first FISA application in October 2016.
  
• FBI Analyst Brian Auten and FBI colleague Stephen Somma knew Democrat Charles Dolan could be a source of information of the Steele Dossier. Neither asked Danchenko about Dolan.
  
• Dolan would ultimately testify that he believed some Dossier information came from him.
  
• The FBI checked with other agencies and was unable to corroborate the Dossier info.
  
• FBI Analyst Brian Auten is a “subject” of the Durham investigation and will likely be “suspended” by the FBI.
  
• Sergei Millian was a confidential human source (CHS) for the FBI’s Atlanta Field Office. The Crossfire Hurricane team found no evidence Millian had “assisted in the interference” of the 2016 presidential election.
  
• While Danchenko told the FBI he spoke with Millian. E-mails from Millian demonstrate he had no idea who Millian was. The FBI/Mueller Special Counsel never obtained those e-mails.

The unanswered questions

When presented with the FBI failures documented during the Danchenko trial (and the Michael Sussmann trial), one can’t help but be reminded of their investigation of the DNC “hack.” Both investigations have similar types of “errors”: the failure to pursue investigative leads and collect evidence, and uncorroborated claims of Russian interference (or collusion) based on information provided by DNC/Clinton “contractors”.

Justice Department Records Show Special Counsel Durham’s FY 2022 Budget over $8.5 Million
https://www.judicialwatch.org/durhams-fy-2022-budget/
MARCH 02, 2023
JUDICIAL WATCH

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wbmcgQtJiTs

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that after 16 months, it has finally received 3 pages of budget records from the U.S Department of Justice (DOJ) concerning the operations of the Office of Special Counsel John Durham that show its fiscal year 2022 budget was over $8.5 million.

The document production comes in the March 2022 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch after the DOJ failed to respond to an August 2021, request for records of communication between Special Counsel John Durham and Attorney General Merrick Garland, and all budget records related to the operations of the office of Special Counsel (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:22-cv-00734)).

Durham was appointed to serve as Special Counsel for the Department of Justice on October 19, 2020:

The Special Counsel is authorized to investigate whether any federal official, employee, or any other person or entity violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence, or law-enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns, individuals associated with those campaigns, and individuals associated with the administration of President Donald J. Trump, including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, Ill.

The Department of Justice initially produced budget records responsive to the Judicial Watch lawsuit on June 3, 2022, but redacted the actual budget numbers. Judicial Watch challenged the withheld information, and the DOJ now has re-released the documents without the redactions.

The supplemental response includes an unredacted June 30, 2021, memo from Assistant Attorney General Lee Lofthus to Attorney General Garland with the subject line “Fiscal Year 2022 Special Counsel’s Office Budget Request,” showing a previously withheld estimated budget of $8,627,629.

Attached is the John Durham Special Counsel Office Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 budget plan. The Justice Management Division has completed its review under 28 C.F.R. 600.8(a)(1). The FY 2022 budget estimate is $4,463,525 which, after Office of Management and Budget technical adjustments for the mandatory sequester, totals $4,209,104 in available operational funds. [Emphasis supplied for previously redacted numbers]

In a line-item breakout of costs for FY 2022 attached to the memo, DOJ has now released figures indicating that total income paid to “Full Time Permanent” personnel, including benefits, was $1,874,193. Non-reimbursable costs totaled $2,334,911, for costs such as travel ($457,207), rent ($306,350), and “Other Contractual Services” ($1,297,054). The budget also indicates there was one direct position, 11 “Reimbursable Detailees” and three “Non-Reimbursable Investigative Staff,” for a total of 15 personnel. [Emphasis supplied for previously redacted numbers]

“Special Counsel Durham has spent millions in tax dollars to investigate the worst government corruption scandal in American history – the abuse of Trump – to little good end,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “That we had to file a federal lawsuit to get basic budget information about this historic investigation speaks volumes. And that the Garland DOJ is still hiding documents adds to the scandal.”

Durham bombshell: Prosecutor unveils smoking gun FBI text message, 'joint venture' to smear Trump

Special Counsel John Durham revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered anti-Trump research.



Special Counsel John Durham is revealing new smoking gun evidence, a text message that shows a Clinton campaign lawyer lied to the FBI, while putting the courts on notice he is prepared to show the effort to smear Donald Trump with now-disproven Russia collusion allegations was a "conspiracy."


In a bombshell court filing late Monday night, Durham for the first time suggested Hillary Clinton's campaign, her researchers and others formed a "joint venture or conspiracy" for the purpose of weaving the collusion story to harm Trump's election chances and then the start of his presidency.

"These parties acted as 'joint venturer[s]' and therefore should be 'considered as co-conspirator[s],'" he wrote.

Durham also revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered now-discredited anti-Trump research in the lead-up to the 2016 election. In fact, he was working for the Clinton campaign and another client, prosecutors say.

The existence of the text message between Sussmann and then-FBI General Counsel James Baker was revealed in a court filing late Monday night by Durham's team. Prosecutors said they intend to show Sussmann gave a false story to the FBI but then told the truth about working on behalf of the Clinton campaign when he later testified to Congress.

"Jim – it's Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss," Sussmann texted Baker on Sept. 18, 2016, according to the new court filing. "Do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? I'm coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau. Thanks."

Prosecutors said the text message will become essential evidence at trial to show Sussmann lied to the FBI.

You can read the court filing.



"The defendant lied in that meeting, falsely stating to the General Counsel that he was not providing the allegations to the FBI on behalf of any client," Durham's motion said. "In fact, the defendant had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including (i) a technology executive ("Tech Executive-1") at a U.S.-based Internet company ("Internet Company-1"), and (ii) the Clinton Campaign."

The prosecutor noted that in House testimony a year later Sussmann admitted he made the FBI approach at the instruction of his client.

"We had a conversation, as lawyers do with their clients, about client 1 needs and objectives and the best course to take for a client," Sussmann testified in a deposition taken by then-House Intelligence Committee Republican investigative counsel Kash Patel. "And so it may have been a decision that we came to together. I mean, I don't want to imply that I was sort of directed to do something against my better judgment, or that we were in any sort of conflict."

Durham also told the court he plans to present evidence that Sussmann worked with the Clinton campaign, tech executive Rodney Joffe, identified as Tech Executive-1, and others in a "joint venture" to promote a now-disproven story that Donald Trump had a secret computer channel at the Moscow-based Alfa Bank with the Kremlin to hijack the election.

"As an initial matter, the Government expects that the evidence at trial will show that beginning in late July/early August 2016, the defendant, Tech Executive-1, and agents of the Clinton Campaign were 'acting in concert toward a common goal,' ... namely, the goal of assembling and disseminating the Russian Bank-1 allegations and other derogatory information about Trump and his associates to the media and the U.S. government," Durham's team said.

"The evidence of a joint venture or conspiracy will establish," according to the prosecutors, "that in November 2016, soon after the Presidential election, Tech Executive-1 emailed a colleague, stating, "I was tentatively offered the top [cybersecurity] job by the Democrats when it looked like they'd win.'"

"In sum," the special counsel concludes, "the above evidence, public information, and expected testimony clearly establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant and Tech Executive-1 worked in concert with each other and with agents of the Clinton Campaign to research and disseminate the Russian Bank-1 allegations."

Patel, who helped unravel the false Russia collusion narrative with former Rep. Devin Nunes, said the new filing by Durham is one of the most significant in the entire investigation to date.

"Durham has just shown the whole world what major pieces of our Russiagate investigation revealed," Patel said. "Hard evidence, emails and text messages, showing the Clinton Campaign, Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie, Joffe, and the media were all synced in August of 2016 pushing the false Alfa Bank server story, while also all working on the Steele Dossier matter. Durham submits all this evidence as 'joint venture conspiracy' under the rules of evidence."

@GenFlynn
America is pissed. Trump is pissed. I’m pissed. And all rightly so after the release of the Durham report.

How do we get our country back and our duly elected POTUS?

The “missteps” Durham said have been fixed are still in place (don’t kid yourself).

The FBI needs to be completely shut down and it must happen in any new administration that enters the WH. Ideas about reform are fine but not until a complete shut down occurs.

All party’s political candidates running for POTUS must have the complete restoration of faith in the federal government as their top priority. No more games.

And people that committed crimes such as treason and/or sedition against the American people must be held accountable (all of them). There will be no statute of limitations and no rocks to hide under.

My lawsuit against the DOJ and the EOP (and others) aside, if the DOJ doesn’t go after those who perpetrated these crimes (including the current POTUS), we no longer have a system of Justice that is responsive to the needs of the American people. The Rule of Law that I fought for will be dead.

We either have a fair, unbiased and functioning justice system or we live under the yoke of tyranny ruled by a small group of oligarch elites who want to dictate how we will live as a nation.

Durham Report holds lingering consequence for Joe Biden, Congress and U.S. allies

Current president was briefed in August 2016 about Clinton plan for Russia collusion dirty trick

By Ben Whedon and John Solomon

Special Counsel John Durham’s final report will have lasting consequences far beyond the FBI failures he unmasked in the now-discredited Russia collusion scandal.

President Joe Biden, as he faces a re-election campaign, Congress as it weighs whether to end warrantless spying and U.S. allies often enlisted to help U.S. intelligence all face "sobering" questions from the report’s bombshell revelations.

In the end, Durham’s top line conclusion Monday was hardly unexpected: The FBI had no evidence or intelligence to warrant opening a probe of Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for president in 2016, disregarded its own rules to protect civil liberties, and failed to heed blinking red sirens that the Russia collusion allegations were nothing more than a political dirty trick by Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

But the questions of what to do with those truths and how to impose consequences for the bad behavior highlighted in the 306-page report are hardly settled.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan began the process of resolving those issues – summoning Durham to testify before his panel next week while suggesting Monday night his colleague may use the power of the purse to defund actors who allowed the Russia collusion probe to persist for three years in the absence of any justification or evidence.

Several key players also face new questions about their own behavior.

The current president – already facing harsh questions about whether his allies in the intelligence community played a dirty trick in the 2020 election by falsely portraying the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation – was outed in Durham’s report as having been briefed in summer 2016 about a plan by the Clinton campaign to manufacture the Russia scandal against Trump.

Biden was present at an Aug. 3, 2016, briefing during which then-CIA Director John Brennan met with administration officials to discuss Russian efforts to interfere in the election.

"Specifically, Director Brennan's declassified handwritten notes reflect that he briefed the meeting's participants regarding the 'alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on 26 July of a proposal from one of her [campaign] advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services," Durham wrote in the report.

Allies who look to the United States as the leader for honest investigation and accurate intelligence – the anti-Banana Republic as some might say -- also will take pause in seeing Durham lay bare Great Britain’s expletive-riddled reaction to realizing it had been dragged into a counter intelligence investigation without merit.

The report outlines the interactions between the FBI's legal attaché in London and intelligence officials about the UK intelligence community's poor reception of the investigation. The London attaché expressed incredulity at the "thin" evidence predicating the case and told officials that the British personnel were "openly skeptical" and warned that FBI plans for an operation "made no sense."

After American intelligence officials showed British operatives the tape of a Trump adviser, the attaché described British reaction as being "not positive because of the lack of any evidence." A subsequent interaction involved the attaché saying that the British had "had enough."

Former House investigator Kash Patel, during a Monday appearance on the "Just the News, Noise Noise" television show, indicated that the revelations of foreign ridicule of the investigation would serve to undermine the United States as a model off of which to base an impartial justice system.

The revelation, he said, "continues to erode our system of justice and continues to create a two-tier system of justice. People can't look to America and be like, how do you install a uniform singular system of justice anymore?"

And Congress must decide whether the FBI —which violated its own rules and allowed a probe to persist in the absence of any evidence of wrongdoing — should be entrusted for another several years with the awesome intelligence tools it abused in Russia collusion, including the Section 702 warrantless surveillance and FISA warrants up for renewal this year.

A longtime FBI man, retired Assistant Director for Intelligence Kevin Brock, told "Just the News, No Noise" television show Monday night the bureau’s trust was certain to be diminished.

“The FBI essentially was hijacked by a handful of senior executives who had an agenda, who did not like Donald Trump, and who used the awesome powers of the FBI to launch an investigation against all policy, against all legal guidelines and restrictions that would prevent the misuse of the FBI,” Brock noted.

“They opened up a case without adequate predication, the predication that's vital to every American to protect them from an FBI just doing an investigation because they don't like the color of your shoes,” he added.

Durham’s report was unequivocal about the bureau’s sins in Russia collusion.

​"Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News.

The prosecutor faulted the department and the FBI for failing to follow their own standards and allowing a probe to persist, including the surveillance of an American citizen, without basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

"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," Durham wrote.

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

Durham Report

The FBI acknowledged past failings, saying Durham's findings justified the changes that current Director Christopher Wray made after taking over from fired Director James Comey.


"The conduct in 2016 and 2017 that Special Counsel Durham examined was the reason that current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time. Had those reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented," the FBI said.

"This report reinforces the importance of ensuring the FBI continues to do its work with the rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the American people deserve and rightly expect."

Durham specifically faulted the FBI for relying on evidence from the campaign of 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, including the now-discredited Steele dossier, saying leadership lacked the necessary distrust of politically motivated allegations.

"Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities," he wrote. "This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller's investigation."

"In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them, even when at about the same time the Director of the FBI and others learned of significant and potentially contrary intelligence."

The special prosecutor pointedly highlighted what he portrayed as a dual system of justice, noting the FBI never opened a counterintelligence probe of Clinton's campaign, despite receiving intelligence she had authorized a dirty trick to paint Trump as a stooge for Russian President Vladimir Putin to impact the outcome of the election.

"The FBl's actions with respect to other highly significant intelligence it received from a trusted foreign source pointing to a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin so as to divert attention from her own concerns relating to her use of a private email server," the report concluded.

"Unlike the FBI's opening of a full investigation of unknown members of the Trump campaign based on raw, uncorroborated information, in this separate matter involving a purported Clinton campaign plan, the FBI never opened any type of inquiry, issued any taskings, employed any analytical personnel, or produced any analytical products in connection with the information.

"This lack of action was despite the fact that the significance of the Clinton plan intelligence was such as to have prompted the Director of the CIA to brief the President, Vice President, Attorney General, Director of the FBI, and other senior government officials about its content within days of its receipt," Durham also wrote. "It was also of enough importance for the CIA to send a formal written referral memorandum to Director Comey and the Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok, for their consideration and action."

Durham also laid out significant evidence that Strzok, who led the Crossfire Hurricane team but was fired from the FBI, worked with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair, to go around the counterintelligence chief of the FBI, Bill Priestap, his boss, to keep the investigation going by getting the approval of then FBI-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who also was later fired.

The report quoted Priestap as identifying "instances when Strzok shared information directly with McCabe before Priestap could provide the information to McCabe himself. Priestap said these actions drove him 'insane.' He also told the Office that Strzok was the worst offender in this regard and that these events occurred mostly when he (Priestap) wanted to go in one direction and they (Page and Strzok) disagreed and thus went around him."

The report also divulged that the handling agent who first was contacted July 5, 2016, by ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous dossier funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign, appeared to be aware that Clinton's campaign was connected to his work, including the notation "HC" in his notes. That agent said his initial reaction to Steele's allegations of Trump-Russia collusion was one of "disbelief" and that Steele was "politically motivated" but he passed the allegations up the FBI chain anyway.

"Notwithstanding his skepticism about the reporting, Handling Agent-I deemed the allegations to be something he could not arbitrarily discount, " the report said.

Turn the main stream media off. That means all cable, and all the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC). They are all liars and thieves. Do NOT listen to anymore news. If you want to watch your favorite sports team, fine but there are other ways to watch them these days. The collusion and conspiracy to destroy people, a president of the United States and the fabric of our very country is very, very real. These people are sick, psychopathic and deranged Marxists and believe they know what is best for you. Those continuing to watch ANY news on these networks, I will pray for your condemned souls because you will get what you deserve…a plate of lies and a one way ticket to hell.

Independent media is rising rapidly and on the move. Choose wisely but choose America!!!

A very thorough 35-minute analysis of the Durham Report by Alexander Mercouris, who has now read the whole 316-page document. He's very critical of the details (or lack of them) that it contains, and uses the term "whitewash". Mercouris states that many issues have simply been left unresolved.

I don't feel at all qualified to comment, but anyone who's been following this closely might find it most interesting and valuable.

"The Impossible Must Be Possible": How The Durham Whodunit Became Who Didn't Do it

BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2023 - 11:05 AM
Authored by Jonathan Turley,

Below is my column in the New York Post, which turned out to be the theme for the cover. The Durham Report highlighted two scandals.



First, there was a comprehensive effort of the political and media establishments to perpetrate one of the great hoaxes in history — a political hit job that ultimately derailed an American presidency.

Second, there was no real accountability for that effort for the main players from Clinton to Comey to Congress. It was much like The Murder on the Orient Express.



Here is the column:

In Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express,” detective Hercule Poirot observes, “The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.”

That may be the best summary of the findings of special prosecutor John Durham in his 305-page report issued yesterday.

Not only did the impossible happen, but they all did it: the Clinton campaign, the FBI, and the media.

In hindsight, it would appear impossible.

A political campaign hatches a plot to create a false claim of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Making this even more implausible is that the CIA and FBI knew about the plan.

As detailed in the report, President Barack Obama and his national security team were briefed on how “a trusted foreign source” revealed “a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin so as to divert attention from her own concerns relating to her use of a private email server.”

It then happened a few days later.

It was a plot that required everyone to take a hand in derailing a duly elected president and effectively shutting down his administration for three years of investigation and prosecutions.

In this conspiracy, there were dozens of key participants in the campaign, the government, and the media. Here are a few of the characters implicated in this report.

The campaign

The report details how the Russian collusion conspiracy was invented by Clinton operatives and put into the now-infamous Steele dossier, funded by the Clinton campaign.

The funding was hidden as legal expenses by then-Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias. (The Clinton campaign was later sanctioned by the FEC over its hiding of the funding.)

When Vogel tried to report the story, he said Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.’” Times reporter Maggie Haberman declared, “Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.”

It was not just reporters who asked the Clinton campaign about its role in the Steele dossier. John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, was questioned by Congress and denied categorically any contractual agreement with Fusion GPS. Sitting beside him was Elias, who reportedly said nothing to correct the misleading information given to Congress.

Durham details how Elias played an active role in tracking the media campaign to push the false allegations. (Elias was recently severed by the Democratic National Committee from further representation and has been previously sanctioned in the federal courts in other litigation.)

The report details how false claims like the existence of a “pee tape” showing Trump engaging in disgusting acts with prostitutes in Moscow came from a Clinton operative, Chuck Dolan, with no known basis in fact.

Likewise, now-national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Clinton personally pushed an absurd campaign-created conspiracy theory about a secret communication line between Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin through a Russian bank.

The Clinton campaign later admitted that it had indeed funded the dossier, but Clinton continued to claim that the election was stolen from her by the Russians.

The government

Of course, this conspiracy could not occur without the assistance of the FBI, which Durham found played an eager role due to a “predisposition” of key players against Trump.

Special counsel John Durham completed a four-year review of the FBI’s investigation of allegations Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia

Durham found the FBI’s probe was “seriously flawed” and had no basis in evidence, according to a 306-page report released Monday.

The special prosecutor found that FBI officials “discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia.”

Durham also found investigators put too much faith in information provided by Trump’s political opponents and carried out surveillance of Trump campaign adviser Carter Page without genuinely believing there was probable cause to do so.

Despite the scathing findings, Durham did not recommend criminal prosecutions or widespread FBI reforms, writing that “the answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old.”

Durham’s investigation lasted more than four years, longer than the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe itself.

The dossier was discredited early by American intelligence, which learned that it might itself be Russian disinformation.

There never was support for the allegations, but the FBI launched and maintained a massive investigation anyway.

Durham noted that the FBI showed a completely different approach to allegations involving the Clinton campaign.

The Trump investigation was a “noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign.”

Nevertheless, former FBI Director James Comey would continue to reference the entirely unsupported “pee tape” in interviews.

Even though investigators found no support for the campaign-created story, in a 2018 interview, Comey delighted viewers by saying: “Honestly, I never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don’t know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013.”The FBI was assisted in this effort by members of Congress on the House Intelligence Committee.

Even when the false narrative was played out and the lack of support was becoming obvious, former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) assured the public, on March 13, 2018, that “I can certainly say with confidence that there is significant evidence of collusion between the campaign and Russia.”

He never produced the promised evidence.

The media

The most essential player in this conspiracy was the media, which pumped up the dossier as gospel. On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow assured her viewers that “no major thing from the dossier has been conclusively disproven.”

On CNN, one of the guests insisted, “I think we actually have to stop calling it the ‘infamous dossier’ and increasingly calling it ‘accurate dossier,’ the ‘damning dossier.’”

CNN host Alisyn Camerota attacked Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and said the dossier “hasn’t been discredited, in fact, it has been opposite, it has been corroborated.”

Durham has laid out how the most cited claims were not supported, let alone corroborated.

Indeed, he found there was no basis for this investigation to have been launched in the first place.

Yet, like in “Murder on the Orient Express,” all of the culprits were then let go.

Comey went on to make millions selling books and giving speeches on “ethical leadership.”

Former FBI special agent Peter Strzok was given a job by CNN.

Clinton general counsel Marc Elias is advising people on election ethics and running a group to “defend democracy.”

After all, this was a collective effort. In Washington, the more people involved in a conspiracy, the less culpable it becomes.

They all did it, so no one did.
