Durham Testimony: FBI Ignored Hillary Clinton Plan to Link Trump to Russia, Says FBI Agents ‘Apologized’ To Him For Trump-Russia Investigation

Where are the repercussions? Where is justice?

After years working with grand juries mostly in private, Special Counsel John Durham stepped into the political arena and faced lawmakers to address questions that weren’t answered by his final report that definitively concluded the FBI opened its Russia collusion investigation of Donald Trump during the 2016 election without any evidence of wrongdoing.

Durham, who was appointed Special Counsel to investigate the origins of the investigation into Trump’s campaign – which later revealed that Trump had not colluded with Russia to win the election – interviewed FBI agents who were involved in the investigation. Those FBI agents were ashamed of their work on the investigation, according to Durham, who also said that several other agents had apologized to him for the FBI’s conduct.

Special Counsel John Durham pushed back against Rep. Steve Cohen’s, D-Tenn., questions during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

Special Counsel John Durham testified Wednesday that the CIA in 2016 received intelligence that suggested Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia — intelligence that the FBI ignored.

Durham testified publicly for the first time before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, just weeks after releasing a report that found the Justice Department and FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia investigation.

When asked about his findings, Durham said the FBI failed to “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,” Durham said. “The FBI relied on the dossier and FISA applications, knowing there was likely material originating from a political campaign or political opponent.”

He added that the FBI “did so even after the president of the United States, the FBI and CIA directors and others received briefings about intelligence suggesting that there was a Clinton campaign plan underway to stir up a scandal tying Trump to Russia.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, used the hearing to direct his line of questioning on the “Clinton Plan Intelligence,” which was never shared with the FBI Crossfire Hurricane team investigating possible Trump-Russia collusion.

“Can you tell the committee what happened when you took that referral memo and shared it with one of those agents, specifically Supervisory Special Agent Number 1?” Jordan asked.

“We interviewed the first supervisor of the Crossfire investigation, the operational person,” Durham said. “We showed him the intelligence information and he indicated he had never seen it before.”
