The DOJ-FBI-Clinton-Obama-Biden machine ran seven parallel ops against Trump and his allies.
The Russia Investigation (Operation Crossfire Hurricane):
<><>The primary investigation launched by the FBI in 2016 focused on potential links between the Trump campaign and Russian efforts to interfere in the election. The Justice Department Inspector General (IG) and the Special Counsel Robert Mueller both determined that the FBI had an authorized purpose to open the investigation.
<><>Criticism of FBI Actions: The IG report found significant errors and performance failures in certain aspects of the investigation, particularly regarding the applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. One FBI official, Kevin Clinesmith, pleaded guilty to falsifying a document related to the Page FISA application.
<><>Durham Report: A subsequent investigation led by Special Counsel John Durham concluded that the FBI should not have opened a full investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia based solely on the intelligence it had at the time. The report was highly critical of the FBI’s reliance on information from the Hillary Clinton campaign (the Steele Dossier) and its failure to adequately investigate intelligence reports that the Clinton campaign may have been trying to link Trump to Russia.

“Seven Parallel Ops” to aggregate various perceived actions, including the initial FBI investigation, FISA warrants, unmasking requests, leaks to the media, and the appointment of the Special Counsel.
<><>”Weaponization” Claims: Trump and his allies have consistently described these investigations as a politically motivated “witch hunt” and the “greatest political crime in American history,” alleging that the Obama-Biden administration “weaponized” the DOJ and FBI against a political opponent.
Multiple official reviews identified significant flaws and political bias concerns in some actions taken by the FBI, particularly regarding the FISA process.
