The FBI Must Be Held Accountable for Russiagate

The long awaited US Justice Department “Russiagate” report by Special Counsel John Durham exonerated President Donald Trump from false charges

Durham names former Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, former Director of FBI Counterintelligence, as responsible for the plot to destroy a sitting President of the United States. Durham’s 300-page report confirms what Trump said from the beginning that Russiagate was a FBI witch hunt completely devoid of evidence.

yup and they get off Scott free and continue on without any changes

I read some commentary a few days ago that accused Durham of holding his report until the statute of limitations had expired.

I have no idea whether any of this is correct/true...

now, after a 3 1/2-year wait, special counsel Durham’s report finally sheds light on the details of the dispute.

In what is arguably the most important sentence of the entire 308-page report, Durham states that “According to [Alexander] Downer, Papadopoulos made no mention of Clinton emails, dirt or any specific approach by the Russian government to the Trump campaign team with an offer or suggestion of providing assistance.”

In one sentence, Durham crushed the FBI’s justification for the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. There was no mention of Clinton’s emails, no mention of any dirt, and neither was there any mention of an offer from Russia. The official narrative, which the FBI not only used to open the investigation but also used to obtain FISA warrants on Trump campaign aide Carter Page, to push Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel, and to pressure Congress into investigating Trump, was plain false.

Notably, the FBI also pushed its false story about Papadopoulos spilling the beans on Russia collusion during a drunken encounter at a London bar to the media

Wasn't their attempt a success?

They had to steal the election for that, but certainly you could say this coup attempt negatively impacted Trump in the 2020 election.

I believe it has been going on years before that. Donald Trump simply exposed it all.

I agree with both of you .... It really has become horribly obvious these past few years, unfortunately.

Yeah, actually it’s been going on at least since JFK threatened them.
