White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment from the White House podium Tuesday about Special Counsel John Durham’s report on the investigation into Trump-Russia collusion.
Durham’s 300-page report found that the FBI and Department of Justice "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" regarding its investigation into possible Russia collusion with the Trump campaign in 2016. Though the report dropped on Monday, only RealClearNews reporter Philip Wegmann referred to Durham’s report and asked for a reaction at the White House press briefing.
"What is the White House reaction to special counsel report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe?" Wegmann asked the press secretary.
Jean-Pierre responded, "I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to that."
Wegmann pressed further, asking, "The president talks often about how he wants the DOJ and FBI to remain independent and above the fray. That report seems to reflect the opposite. Does he agree with Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI?"
"Again, that is with the Department of Justice," Jean-Pierre said as she closed her briefing book. "That's not something that I'm going to speak from the podium. As you just stated in your question, we believe in an independent Department of Justice. That's what the president said when he was running and that's what the president has said the last two years."
"Thank you so much. I'll see you guys in Japan," she said while leaving the podium before any more questions could be asked.
Social media users blasted the response for ignoring both the White House and Jean-Pierre’s own history with the Russia collusion allegation.

“failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law”
let’s parse that..
“Failed”, ok we get that.
“Strict fidelity to the law”- I guess that’s fancy-talk for “follow the law”
so.. “Failed to follow the law”
OK.. so who’s going to jail?
Where are the apologies to Trump? Trump should immediately file a personal lawsuit against every one of them.
When is that “independant” DoJ going to pursue Hunter and his dad like it did with Trump and his advisors?
These people need to be prosecuted.
More wonderful insights from the black Shirley Temple.
Unfortunately who is going to do that?
With a legal system so broken and corrupt, how does prosecution get done?
And no matter how the Biden regime looks, the US government is still one of the most powerful entities on earth, and it is corrupt to the core.
I’ve noticed some of the usual suspects of leftwing-to-the-hilt media are basically pretending this report never came out. Proabably still trying to spin it to their absurd favor before commenting or submitting articles.
All democrat party voters are the enemy.
So they can dish it out but can’t take it?
These immoral posers can’t even achieve grade school morality.
If the MSM doesn’t cover it, it disappears.
“These people need to be prosecuted.”
Absolutely. And then hanged for treason. Of course, that’ll never happen in the current administration.
I think that if we take the White House in 2024 and/or 2028, it’s possible that they can be tried for their crimes. (Is there a Statute Of Limitations on the types of crimes they committed?)
Congress can begin collecting evidence now via hearings, subpoenas, etc., and save it ‘til later. That, combined with the report, could let a new AG hit the ground runing in January 2025.
“failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law”
Good parsing.
As you suggest, they broke the law, pure and simple. Broke the snot out of it.
Poor Shirley Temple being compared to this vile, lying, corrupt, lesbian POS!
“(Is there a Statute Of Limitations on the types of crimes they committed?)”
Investigations of matters like these, apparent crimes, are designed to allow so-called prosecutors to dither and sit on their hands while the clock ticks and, eventually, for time to run out on the applicable Statute of Limitations.
Meanwhile we are to hate the game not the players.
What liars and cowards Democrats are! Don’t worry Karinne, MSNBC and CNN will make you look good.
Soon murder and assassination will be illegal only if you strictly follow the law. When are these political criminals going to be held accountable?
It’s all very simple. Barack Obama lied, Joe Biden lied, Susan Rice lied, James Comey lied, John Brennan lied, James Clapper lied, Adam Schiff lied, Jerry Nadler lied, Nancy Pelosi lied, the New York Times lied, the Washington Post lied, CNN and MSNBC lied, Rachel Maddow lied, etc.
Yep.
1 - Your going to see alot of people avoiding those type of questions.
2 - Your not going to see a lot or any people asking those type of questions to biden.
3 - Your not going to hear anything else about it because the mainstream media is going to bury it like the laptop and election fraud.
4 - Something will happen to move on from this.
5 - If you bring this up in the media you’re a supremacist.
Is that about right.
