Durham: FBI overlooked intel Clinton masterminded plot to smear Trump, treated campaigns differently

‘There were some individuals who clearly expressed a personal bias’ against Trump, Durham tells Congress

Former special counsel John Durham testified Wednesday that the FBI overlooked intelligence that Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to smear former President Donald Trump with Russia allegations and treated the two campaigns disparately during the 2016 election.

Durham confirmed that the CIA had received intelligence about Clinton approving a plan to make Russia allegations against Trump as a means of distracting from her classified email scandal.

The prosecutor said the FBI did not “sufficiently scrutinize information it received” and did not “apply the same standards to allegations it received about the Clinton and Trump campaigns.”

“The FBI was too willing to accept and use politically funded and uncorroborated opposition research, such as the Steele dossier,” he said during the House Judiciary Committee hearing. “The FBI relied on the dossier and FISA applications, knowing there was likely material originating from a political campaign or political opponent.”

He told the House panel that “it’s going to take time to rebuild the public’s confidence in the institution” of the FBI after the agency’s handling of the so-called Russia collusion probe.

  1. The f.b.i. needs to be demolished, but that is not possible as long as dimocrats are power. They are no longer the federal bureau of investigation, they are actually the Trump bureau of investigation. Trump has been their main focus for almost 7 years. That is top shelf corruption. Fire them all beginning with wray, and comey should be charged retroactively for covering up or dismissing evidence on hillary. But we all know this will never happen.

  2. If it wasn’t for Hillary, Hunter & Joe we would have fair elections. They only have two goals one billions they have made and staying in front of cameras to get attention they will say or do anything.
