"The American Public Was Scammed": Trump Responds After Bomshell
Durham Report 'Exonerates'

Update (1850ET): Former President Donald Trump on Monday has responded
through a spokesman, saying that the report "proves" a coordinated
effort by the federal government to interfere with the 2016 US
election.

"WOW! After extensive research, Special Counsel John Durham concludes
the FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia Probe! In other
words, the American Public was scammed, just as it is being scammed
right now by those who don’t want to see GREATNESS for AMERICA!" Trump
wrote on Truth Social.

"The Durham Report spells out in great detail the Democrat Hoax that
was perpetrated upon me and the American people. This is 2020
Presidential Election Fraud, just like ‘stuffing’ the ballot boxes,
only more so."

"This totally illegal act had a huge impact on the Election. With an
honest Media, we are looking at the Crime of the Century!"

Here's a summary of the main findings from Techno Fog via The Reactionary:

    “The FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that
did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between
Trump and Russia.”

    Crossfire Hurricane “was opened as a full investigation without
[the FBI] ever having spoken to the persons who provided that
information.” Days after it was opened, Peter Strzok was telling a
London FBI employee that “there’s nothing to this.”

    Internal FBI communications discussing the Crossfire Hurricane
during its early stages: it’s “thin” and “it sucks”.

    British Intelligence pushed back on Mueller requests for
assistance: “[a British Intelligence person] basically said there was
no [expletive] way in hell they were going to do it.”

    Durham documents TWO investigations into Hillary Clinton - one
involving the Clinton Foundation and one involving illegal foreign
contributions to Clinton’s Campaign.

    In one Clinton Campaign investigation, an FBI confidential human
source (CHS) had offered an illegal foreign contribution to the
campaign through an intermediary. The Clinton Campaign was “okay with
it” and “were fully aware”. The CHS offered the FBI a copy of the
credit card charge; the FBI never got receipts. In fact, the FBI
handling agent told the CHS “to stay away from all events relating to
Clinton’s campaign.”

    As a result of ELECTION INTERFERENCE by @HillaryClinton and the
@DNC in the 2016 election, President Trump faced 4+ years of
relentless investigations and narratives BASED ON A LIE. The DOJ and
FBI were actively working AGAINST him and the will of THE PEOPLE.

    Props to Aaron, @ggreenwald, @mtaibbi and everyone else on the
liberal-left who told the truth about RussiaGate from the beginning.
They were slandered, blacklisted, betrayed by so-called friends, and
they deserve credit. https://t.co/EoMKxJ55LJ

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 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."

    🚨BREAKING: According to the Durham Report, the plan by Hillary
Clinton to create a false story linking Donald Trump to Russia was
briefed in August of 2016 by CIA Director John Brennan to President
Obama, VP Biden, AG Loretta Lynch, and FBI Director Comey.

More via Techno Fog,

    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"
    — Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) May 15, 2023

    According to an FBI CHS in early 2016, the Clinton Campaign was
"fully aware" of and "ok with" a foreign contribution in violation of
federal law.

    The FBI agent didn't get receipts - and asked the source to stay
away from the Clinton campaign.
    — Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) May 15, 2023

    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.

Meanwhile, CNN's Jake Tapper said the report is "devastating to the FBI."
