The Obama administration possessed no real evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russian government officials when it launched its investigation into the Trump campaign leading up to the 2016 election, according to a new bombshell report.
On Monday, Special Counsel John Durham released the findings of his years-long investigation into the origins of the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign in the months before, during, and after the 2016 presidential contest. Despite the agency’s claims that the inquiry — commonly referred to as Crossfire Hurricane — was predicated on the belief that Trump’s campaign was colluding with Russian officials leading up to the election, Durham’s report found the FBI had no evidence to warrant such an investigation.
“Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither the U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation,” the report reads.
The baseless investigation into the Trump campaign started after Australian intelligence notified the FBI about “concerning comments” from George Papadopoulos, an unpaid foreign policy advisor for the Trump team, about the Russians purportedly having dirt on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In his report, Durham details the recklessness with which leading FBI officials, such as then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and then-Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, launched Crossfire Hurricane and further revealed that the FBI did not possess evidence of Trump-Russia collusion as late as March 2017.

is any one, outside or the lame stream media, surprised?
Not a bombshell to those paying attention
Pretty much known in December of 2017 by anyone who was paying attention.
*2016 that should say.
The beat goes on....
There is no turning back, my friend.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate will commit crimes to protect itself.
Can the impeachment record be expunged now???
“Not a bombshell to those paying attention”
For real!
I was aware of almost every one of those issues laid out in the report.
Most of the media is ignoring the report or phrasing an article in such a way that the democrats and deep-state do not look to bad.
The WSJ does have a white-washed version making the HRC Obama/Biden, DOJ/FBI, CIA, and media’s actions not too too awful. But no comments allowed.
Over the past six plus years, they put every allegation against Trump front and center with very little of the evidence showing those allegations were false. And, with each article they allowed comments so they left could say the most vile things about Trump and his supporters.
Of course, those comments seemed to violate no community guidelines. But no comments are allowed on the latest revelations which most of us have known for years (if you are one of us who have followed the saga closely). If you criticize Biden too harshly, your comment is deleted. How far that paper has fallen. Don’t trust them for investing and economic advice and news. They only report Biden approved narratives.
I’m pissed that the perps are walking free. Especially as so many January 6th defendants remain in jail. And Brennan, that demon, going on the news as an intelligence expert for the media when he knew what he had done. These people are demon-possessed because only a demon could live such a lie and face others daily. (Of course, the only others they face are demon-possessed as well, so I guess that makes sense).
Remember we were trying to get Hillary’s 30,000 emails from her server? Trump joked that maybe Russia would give them to Wikileaks. I think that’s where Hillary got the idea to pin Russian collusion on Trump. The media was onboard instantly.
And not one single criminal charge.
Not one.

Just another day at the office...
you gotta wonder if durham was paid off by the left to not bring charges-
There was also a coordinated leak campaign, to create a whirlwind of scandal.
FBI leaked to friendly media (I recall it being Yahoo, WaPo mainly) that Trump was under investigation for ties to Russia. They then wrote stories which created more rumors and slanders in Washington DC. The FBI then could tell people “there is so much information out there - we must investigate it.”
I remember one 2017 media interview with Paul Ryan - he made the quote something like “Well, all of Washington DC is talking about Trump’s connection to Russia....” so even RINOS were engaged in it.
O’Bama’s ass needs to be JSixed.
Yes, it does along with his many henchmen. I was a little worried about Michelle Obama running, but armed with this info, Trump can annihilate her on the campaign trail.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature and a moral conscious knew this was a lie in 2016
