Special prosecutor John Durham doomed James Comey in his final report saying the Department of Justice and the FBI did not have “any actual evidence of collusion” between Russian officials and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign when they began their Crossfire Hurricane probe.
Durham wrote: “Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report.”
And it gets so much worse for Comey and the gang. Durham discovered that FBI officials continued to seek FISA warrants while admitting 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, or knowingly helping another person in such activities.
“And certain personnel disregarded significant exculpatory information that should have prompted investigative restraint and re-examination.”
Jonathan Turley said: “The Report’s elaborate details shred James Comey’s claims of professionalism. Yet, Comey continues to sell books on his vision of “ethical leadership” after overseeing what Durham calls an abandonment of “fealty” to the law and standards of the FBI.
“Given Durham’s findings that there was no basis for the actions taken by the FBI in launching this investigation, this would be a good time for former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff to reveal that evidence he said showed the Russian collusion.
The Durham report sheds light on the false claims involving the “pee-tape” which it describes as a “salacious sexual activity.”
“They found no basis for the claim that was widely reported in the media. Indeed, the key sources contradicted themselves.
“However, the Clinton-funded team seemed eager to include the allegation: ‘Danchenko flew from Moscow to London and met with Christopher Steele on the following day. Three days later, in Steele Report… [the] allegation appeared that described salacious sexual activity.’
“The report discusses the DOJ and FBI being politically manipulated. The evidence vindicates Trump that this was a well-orchestrated hit job by the Clinton campaign and government officials with a ‘predisposition to investigate Trump.’
“Durham states clearly that there was no basis for the FBI to launch this investigation despite the claims made by James Comey.

Durham: The FBI knew Steele Dossier source Igor Danchenko’s claims about Sergei Millian were lies, which is why they never tried to even corroborate them. And yet, the FBI still put the false allegations in multiple illegal FISA warrant applications against Carter Page. pic.twitter.com/BahgiZZBEJ
