Introduction:
The long-awaited report by Prosecutor John Durham on the FBI probe into alleged Trump ties with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign season has finally been concluded. With its release‚ the report brings forth a plethora of revelations that have the potential to change the course of American politics. In this article‚ we will explore the key findings of the Durham report and analyze what they mean for the parties involved.
The FBI had Zero Intel and No Faith in their Investigation:
One of the most shocking revelations of the Durham report is that the FBI had no basis for its investigation that alleged Trump had links with Russia. The report states that the FBI had “zero intel” supporting their theory and that the FBI’s faith in their investigation was exceedingly low.
Hillary’s Campaign‚ Biden‚ and Officials were Briefed on a Plan to Discredit Trump through Russian Collusion:
The Durham Report also exposes the most well-kept secret of the 2016 presidential campaign; that Hillary’s campaign‚ Biden‚ and officials were briefed on a plan to discredit Trump through Russian collusion. These revelations support what Trump has been saying all along‚ that the election was rigged against him.
Two-faced Comey Knew About this Plan and Did Not Take any Action:
The report confirms that ex-FBI Director James Comey knew about the plan to discredit Trump‚ and he didn’t take any action. In fact‚ he was one of the central players in the FBI’s ill-conceived investigation into the Trump campaign. This evidence goes to show how hollow was Comey’s justified claim to be a stalwart of justice.
The FBI Had No Belief in the Steele Dossier:
The Durham report also exposes the misleading information of the Steele dossier that was used to justify the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s alleged links with Russia. The report reveals that the FBI had no belief in the Steele dossier’s authenticity and was willing to obtain a warrant based on information they knew to be inaccurate.
The FBI Paid Almost a Quarter-Million Dollars to Igor Dechenko Despite Being a Possible Russian Spy:
The FBI paid almost a quarter-million dollars to Igor Dechenko‚ a known associate of Christopher Steele and a possible Russian spy‚ to obtain information. It is concerning how the FBI could put the lives of American citizens at risk by paying the enemy rather than relying on their own intelligence.
Despite Significant Evidence‚ it is Uncertain if Anyone will be Held Accountable for the Crimes:
The Durham report also highlights the possibility of widespread wrongdoing by intelligence officials involved in the investigation. The report reveals that senior officials associated with the investigation‚ including Comey‚ Andrew McCabe‚ Lisa Page‚ and Peter Strzok‚ made errors that belie their duty to the agency and the country. However‚ it’s uncertain if anyone will be held accountable for their crimes.
Conclusion:
The release of the Durham report has exposed the workings of the FBI‚ revealing how the top echelon was willing to utilize any means to discredit Trump. There’s much that the report has uncovered‚ including the full extent of wrongdoing by high-ranking officials. Nevertheless‚ it’s unclear if this information will result in changes in the Department of Justice that will prevent such misconduct from taking place in the future.
