Special Counsel John Durham released his final report on Monday following over three years of investigation into the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe.
According to Just the News, the report concludes that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened up an investigation into Donald Trump and his campaign in the summer of 2016.
Durham placed blame on the FBI and DOJ for failing to follow their own standards in a probe which should have never taken place – including the agency’s surveillance of an American citizen without basis.
“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,” wrote Durham.
The Durham report states that Clinton General Counsel Marc Elias "declined to be voluntarily interviewed by the Office." Elias was recently severed by the Democratic National Committee from representation. The campaign was fined by the FEC for his hiding the funding of the…

The FBI and DOJ restricted two investigations into Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election:
1) The Clinton Foundation investigation
2) Illegal foreign contributions to the Clinton Campaign
"No investigative activities occurred for months"

The FBI made "no effort" to investigate "the Clinton campaign's acceptance of an illegal "campaign contribution that was made by the FBI's own long-term CHS."

FBI leadership was so concerned about what its agents were finding about the Steele memos that they ordered:
"no more memos were to be written"
Do not "document any recommendations, context, or analysis"

The FBI paid Steele primary subsource Igor Danchenko a total of $220K.
The FBI – after it learned Danchenko lied to them, and during the Durham investigation – proposed future payments of $300K.
Payments that would have kept Danchenko under wraps. pic.twitter.com/lydAj8ziPq

This article just proves the well-known point that the LAW in America and other Western-Democracies has been made redundant. The criminal oligarchs thumb their collective noses at the LAW and absolutely nothing is done about it. The USA and the UK are forking laughing stocks of the world. After all, where else, other than the USA & UK can war-criminals like Dick Cheney and Tony Blair parade around the country, acting like dignitaries.
