Durham's 'Russiagate' Report Is Damning for the Media, Too


Special Counsel John Durham dropped a bombshell on Monday. "Russiagate"—the biggest media story on the planet for four years—was never justified by the evidence.

According to Durham's scathing report, the FBI initiated its investigation of former president Donald Trump's 2016 campaign without sufficient proof of collusion and then ignored mounting contrary evidence. Durham criticized the FBI for relying on the later-debunked Steele dossier to get a warrant to surveil Trump's campaign; for coziness with Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic opponent; and for repeatedly accepting information from anti-Trump sources, if not showing the same bias itself.

  3. Nothing will happening via the Durham Report. It is clear that the FBI needs to be removed. Likely the CIA needs to be removed. The ATF needs to be removed. The additional IRS agents are not needed since the country is making tax money but spending too much so the agents are not needed.
