Special counsel John Durham released the long-awaited investigation findings into the origins of the FBI’s original inquiry into whether the campaign of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. Known officially as “Crossfire Hurricane,” Durham’s report vindicated Trump and was a scathing rebuke of what could only be considered institutional corruption at the FBI.
“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 revelations are the basis for which Trump long deemed a political witch-hunt.
Consider some of the other findings of the report.
“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,” the report found. “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 probable cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of foreign power.”
