Breaking: John Durham releases final report concluding FBI had no verified intel when it opened probe on Trump
Just the News ^ | May 15, 2023 | John Solomon

Special Counsel John Durham released his final report Monday after more than three years investigating the Russia collusion probe, declaring the FBI has no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened up the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016.

"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. DO was slated to make the report public later Moday.

The prosecutor's faulted the FBI and Justice Department 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 -- both 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."

Nope, no one. Our government is so corrupt even those that are assigned to investigate the swamp. Sorry, I know some people don’t agree here but I pray with all my heart that China or Russia drops a freaking nuclear bomb on DC. Let’s get it over with once and for all. Our nation is done anyway. The bolsheviks are in charge now we don’t have a prayer of a chance short of God, calling his people home. I know, including myself millions upon millions Americans are fed up, but aren’t doing nothing and letting a bunch of bolsheviks control this nation . Other than that, get ready to live in a third world American country and suffer like we have never known in the existence of this nation.

Lots of bad cops doing bad things, but no accountability.

What a shame. If the FBI would have acted as a neutral agency perhaps the left wouldn’t have been emboldened to slam the 2020 election with ballot harvesting, stuffing, mail in ballots etc.

Much less the undeserved stigma the accusation against Trump had on moderates.
I’d bet money Trump would be POTUS now if not for the Russian collusion claim.

Now that the Special Counsel has made these findings, will anyone actually be held responsible for the FBI’s collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign to interfere with a Presidential election and the subsequent sedition against a sitting president?

Draw out the investigation to the point that most Americans
can’t even remember what the infractions were.

The prosecutor was just another government lackey doing what
he was told by the perpetrators and their friends.

_ you John Durham.

The final insult will be the kush job he is now gifted for
being a good little apparatchik.

FBI and IC made it up, and ran with it assuming they would never be held accountable.

Confirmed. They will not be held accountable.

Obama should be put in leg irons and taken to federal prison for this.

Of course, there’s no justice anymore at all for our side.

It was Donald J. Trump that gave us the political hack, Christopher Wray, to be our FBI director.

Back in the day I recall it being said that the Clinton administration was seeking backdoors into computers so they could spy on folks.

Around the beginning of Trump’s tenure such exploits were “discovered” ... long wondered if it was so he couldn’t use them the way they had been.

Absolutely nothing will happen to any one involved, which means they are free to do things like this all over again and again.

If we could see at least one perp walk, but we won't.

Back to normal, where FBI and DOJ digs even deeper for dirt on Trump instead.

There’s no rehabilitating the FBI or the CIA at this point. They have destroyed the Constitution and the Republic.

Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law.

Lets take stock in what we know, several departments of the federal government unlawfully colluded to impeach a siting president. Lied under oath, made false statements and fabricated evidence to congress and the federal courts.

They misappropriated federal resources all in an effort to illegally change the outcome of a federal election and they were successful. Several high ranking Trump officials were prosecuted and went to jail based of false testimony and evidence presented to a grand jury. Trump lost his reelection.

So what is the remedy?

People like Strozk and Paige should be in jail.

Yeah, the Senate was going to allow Donald Jr to be Director..

That appears to be the only one I’d trust if I was Trump

Your FBI is scum.
Don’t forget that.

RealRaw News is entirely fake. All written by one guy using a fake name, with no footprint anywhere online.

Maybe I should make a new tagline for a while.
