Durham Report: "Extremely troublesome failures."
-
NRO:
He established collaboration between Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the government’s law-enforcement-and-intelligence apparatus to frame Trump as a Russian agent.
In the Danchenko trial, Durham established that the FBI knowingly submitted sworn applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that falsely claimed that information obtained from Cristopher Steele, a former British spy, had been verified. The FBI was also aware that Steele compiled the dossier as opposition research for the Clinton campaign, and improperly briefed him on the Trump-Russia investigation.
Durham also provided evidence that the FBI knew Sussman was representing the Democratic National Committee when he provided the bureau with skewed data that he claimed showed Trump had established a communication backchannel with the Kremlin; Sussman had claimed that he wasn’t representing anyone when he provided the data. Durham also showed that FBI leaders had concealed from agents that Sussman was the source of the data.

Another take by a "conservative" paper
QUOTE
Despite the sharp rebuke, Mr. Durham did not recommend any wholesale changes to the FBI’s guidelines or policies. The report did urge the bureau to appoint an agent or lawyer to oversee politically sensitive investigations.

In the end, Mr. Durham’s results were underwhelming.
A little-known FBI lawyer pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence to justify the surveillance of Mr. Page, but Washington-area jurors acquitted the only two men Mr. Durham took to trial.

The amazing thing is there are adults who can walk and chew gum at the same time simultaneously holding these two thoughts in their head:
- The Durham report is damning
- The Meuller report is exculpatory

Elaborate, please
The Mueller report found no evidence that there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. The Durham report found that the FBI ignored all indications that there was no strong evidence between Russia and the Trump campaign, and chose to use weak evidence at the behest of the Clinton campaign, with the cooperation of the Obama White House.

The CIA had direct knowledge of the Clinton plan (“Clinton Plan”) to vilify Trump by linking him to Putin and Russia. On August 3, 2016, CIA Director John Brennon met with President Obama, VP Biden, and other senior Administration officials, including but not limited to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey. At that meeting, Brennan informed them of the Clinton Plan:
FBI did nothing to vet or investigate the Clinton Plan - even though they were using parts of the Clinton Plan (the Steele Reports) - to investigate the Trump Campaign. Durham writes: “No FBI personnel who were interviewed by the Office recalled Crossfire Hurricane personnel taking any action to vet the Clinton Plan intelligence.”
FBI and CIA, with no substantiation took the "Clinton Plan" to discredit Trump as a Russian asset to the Obama White House. Read that really slowly.
And the source for the "Steele" dossier, Dachenko? FBI knew he was lying, and still paid I'm about a quarter-million dollars.

Meuller: indictments and convictions
Durham: vibesThe Mueller investigation was to see if there was Russian interference, specifically helping the Trump campaign. IT found none. I'd call that exculpatory.
The convictions were on unrelated charges, most of them, process crimes.

@George-K Not true at all. It found:
- Russia helped Trump
- Trump welcomed that help, even publicly
- His campaign tried to get even more help
- His campaign manager actually shared campaign strategy and polling information with the Russians
- All of them repeatedly lied about it.

Yeah, I don't read the NYT, therefore I is an ignerant rube.

CIA: Hey, Clinton's trying to frame Trump.
Strzok: Spike that story.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Dina Corsi told the team not to put anything in writing about the fake dossier, in what an FBI lawyer in the room said was "the most inappropriate operational or professional statement he had ever heard at the FBI."
FBI agents said top brass pressured them intensely to continue investigating "dry holes," and they were asking, "What are we even doing here?" because it was so obviously fake. The Steele dossier went missing within FBI for 75 days before being foisted on them with no time to vet
While chasing down every conceivable flimsy rabbit hole sourced from literally fabricated anonymous sources saying preposterous things, the FBI studiously avoided simply getting to the bottom of it by refusing to interview those most involved: Dolan, Papadapolous, Carter Page.

I think the big question now becomes "Why?" .
