GOP chair 'speechless' after top FBI official says 'I just haven’t had time' to read Durham report
Just the News ^ | 5/24/23 | Madeline Hubbard

Congressional Republicans condemned FBI Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Jill Murphy at a hearing after she said she has not read special counsel John Durham’s report into her agency's probe into allegations that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 election.

"I have not yet read the Durham report, sir," Murphy told House Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman August Pfluger during a hearing Tuesday.

"I'm honestly speechless at this point in time. I'm not sure what to think about this as someone who has spent an entire career in counterintelligence," Pfluger, a Texas Republican, responded.

"I just haven’t had time," Murphy said when Pfluger pressed as to why she has not read the report, which was published May 15 and concluded that the FBI did not have verified intelligence or evidence when it opened an investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign.

This shows just how worried the FBI is about the Durham report. However, there is probably no need for them to read it because they knew what Durham would uncover since the conspiracy with Clinton was all on the CIA/DOJ/FBI's part.

(It's also possible they assisted Durham in writing the report and directed him as to which parts to just gloss over).

Intentional ignorance is no excuse.

This ploy is intended to shield agents from having to comment on the agencies criminal behavior.

” I’m not sure what to think about this as someone who has spent an entire career in counterintelligence,””

I know exactly what to think about it. They are giving you the finger because they know you will not defund them and you will still build America’s political Stasi a multi-billion dollar HQ.

Exactly. Why bother. Nothing is going to be done about it.

Aren’t there jail cells in the Capitol Building overseen by Congress? She could be held there until she has read it and is ready to discuss it.

I think she read it. She’s lying. How to disprove her answer? Can’t. It pushes our button but nothing comes of it. The subject then has to be changed-gets no where. It’s like bureaucratic snafu.

At one point this person looked as if she was going to cry, she’d get asked a question and then just sit there not responding, and had to be reminded that she had been asked a question.

Durham's job was to minimize the fbi / doj's role in the coup and / or to cover it up, completely.

The only one punished was Klinesmith, with a slap on the wrist.

"Completely innocent mistakes were made, with no political bias, but procedures have been implemented to prevent anything like that from happening, again. (Until it looks like PDJT will win again)."

All of these dept heads showing up in congressional hearings not able to answer a single question. Imagine a master plumber being so ignorant.

And Congress keeps signing their paychecks.

The Durham report isn’t worth reading... It says nothing of any real consequence, because there are no consequences.

They did this, they did that and I have all the evidence but nobody is being charged and that’s, that. - The Durham report synopsis.
