Breaking: John Durham releases final report concluding FBI had no verified intel when it opened probe on Trump

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."

Nice system we have here.

Durham Report bombshell: Hillary Clinton approved the plan to create a false narrative about Trump & Russia. CIA Dir. Brennan, Pres. Obama, VP Biden and FBI Dir. Comey were all briefed on this plot in 2016. They let 🇺🇸 suffer through the Russia hoax despite knowing it was false. pic.twitter.com/Zz97rCbzRH— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) May 15, 2023

The American Republic will have a much better chance for survival once Felonious Milhaus von Pantsuit has reached room temperature and is spending eternity trying to depose Satan.

Name an alternative (to Christopher Wray) that isn’t a political hack.

I would love, love, love, love, love, love, love to see General Michael Flynn put in charge of either the FBI or CIA to clean house with a vengeance.

This won’t be reported beyond FR and perhaps Newsmax.

Flynn would be good. When I discourage government employees, that is not intended towards the military.

Exactly. How can it be the crime of the century with such tepid results?

If PDJT does not sue hell out of the lot of them then something is very wrong. How in the hell can you conspire and do garbage like this to someone and then just skate with no consequences?

“Durham calls out former CIA Director Brennan for Trump-Russia statements to media”

“Special Counsel John Durham highlighted CIA Director John Brennan’s public statements to the media on the Trump-Russia collusion narrative that appeared in conflict with testimony he gave on the matter as part of the investigation.

Throughout the news cycle, Brennan was a prominent voice from the intelligence community promoting the collusion theory.”


Brennan belongs in prison (or ??) for treason.

Trump can’t drop this! He has a huge opportunity here, he can’t just ignore and go off and make infantile anti-DeSantis remarks. He’s got the nomination this will give him the election!
