Current president was briefed in August 2016 about Clinton plan for Russia collusion dirty trick
Special Counsel John Durham’s final report will have lasting consequences far beyond the FBI failures he unmasked in the now-discredited Russia collusion scandal.
President Joe Biden, as he faces a re-election campaign, Congress as it weighs whether to end warrantless spying and U.S. allies often enlisted to help U.S. intelligence all face "sobering" questions from the report’s bombshell revelations.
In the end, Durham’s top line conclusion Monday was hardly unexpected: The FBI had no evidence or intelligence to warrant opening a probe of Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for president in 2016, disregarded its own rules to protect civil liberties, and failed to heed blinking red sirens that the Russia collusion allegations were nothing more than a political dirty trick by Hillary Clinton and her supporters.
But the questions of what to do with those truths and how to impose consequences for the bad behavior highlighted in the 306-page report are hardly settled.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan began the process of resolving those issues – summoning Durham to testify before his panel next week while suggesting Monday night his colleague may use the power of the purse to defund actors who allowed the Russia collusion probe to persist for three years in the absence of any justification or evidence.
Several key players also face new questions about their own behavior.
The current president – already facing harsh questions about whether his allies in the intelligence community played a dirty trick in the 2020 election by falsely portraying the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation – was outed in Durham’s report as having been briefed in summer 2016 about a plan by the Clinton campaign to manufacture the Russia scandal against Trump.

I don’t believe it.
GMTA
THAT!!!
I am confident shifty Shift and Mad Maxine Watters have all sorts of hard evidence to counter Durham.....
General Flynn launched his suit a few days/weeks ago.
If a mental case can get a New York jury to fine President Trump 5 million dollars, a Florida jury can get General Flynn at least 50 Million Dollars
It wasn’t a briefing. It was a campaign strategy meeting so everyone was on the same page and had the same talking points.
Congress can use debt ceiling leverage to defund these bad actors
Abolish the FIB.
Then clean out the DOJ with a flamethrower.
Do the same with the CIA. A LOT of the senior staff of both along with several other government agency (state department, CDC, IRS, ATF, NSA, Pentagon) need to be purged.
Ruthlessly.
and shiffty Schift and mad maxine watters and rachel madcow and
Lots of folks believe anything the 3 letter agencies tell them, via fake news.
Those folks will even put on a face diaper to block the Flu....
The reason the politicians don’t give a d@#n about the J-6 prisoners in the D.C. jail, is they are too busy lining their pockets with influence peddling.
Oh, FFS… WHAT “consequence?” A little weasel-worded pablum piece from the FBI about “reviewing procedures going forward?”
They’re laughing their asses off right now.
I hope Jim Jordan subpoenas all the FBI/CIA miscreants and questions them under oath. Oh, and Hillary too!
I saw clips of them bitching about how unfair and misleading Durham was about his charges agains the FBI. Hosts on the Democrat media outlets were wining, too. The FBI even put out a weak statement in its defense.
Obviously they will try to get a change venue to the DC circuit because everything happened there but I doubt that Florida circuit will agree. His chances of winning the case is good, especially since the IG report placed a shadow on the prosecution and the Comey statements about ambushing him should be admissible.
“Special Counsel John Durham’s final report will have lasting consequences”
One small-fry lawyer scapegoated. Everyone else footloose and fancy free. The lack of short term consequences will have lasting connsequences. They are emboldened by this mealy-mouthed report, and will do worse.
None of them will ever see the inside of a courtroom, let alone a prison cell or gallows.
No, it won't. They all got away with it and they know it.
