The FBI did not dispute the findings in the bombshell Durham report.
The report details a disturbing level of politicization and corruption within the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ).
The FBI and DOJ relied on the lies fed to them by a Democrat-hired law firm in order to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign, which continued even after Trump was elected president.
The federal agencies falsely told Americans there was evidence that President Trump’s 2016 campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the election. It was a lie.
In response to the report, the FBI says they have “implemented dozens of corrective actions” since 2016 to fix these “missteps.”
The FBI attempted to reassure Americans that they agency “continues to do its work with the rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the American people deserve and rightly expect.”
The Durham report found that Hillary Clinton’s campaign approved a conspiracy from a foreign policy advisor to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”
Clinton’s campaign attempt to tie Trump “to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee” which would distract Americans from her email scandals.
A number of top Democrats were “personally briefed on Clinton’s scheme,” which included President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and FBI Director James Comey.
This so-called “Clinton Plan” was reported in the handwritten notes of CIA Director John Brennan.
Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is calling for the prosecution of Hillary Clinton following the release of the bombshell “Durham Report.”
“There needs to be a lot more than reports,” Hawley said. “People need to be prosecuted for this. The Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton herself.”
Hawley explained, “Is it any coincidence that she is tweeting about collusion at exactly the same time her campaign operatives are feeding this BS to the FBI? I don’t think so.”
“There needs to be consequences for her and also for the FBI,” he told Fox News. “We’ve got to get justice here, and justice needs to be served. You can’t interfere in a presidential election without consequences,” Hawley continued.
“At least you couldn’t, you used to not be able to in America. And that’s what happened here. That’s what this report shows. That one political party, the Democrats, tried to use the FBI to rig a presidential election and just about got away with it. They succeeded in getting the FBI to intervene.”
“They succeeded in getting the FBI to lie to a court to get wiretaps. They succeeded in getting a presidential campaign Donald Trump’s campaign spied on. I mean, it’s amazing. If there’s something like this in American history, I don’t know what it is. And that’s why I say there needs to be prosecutions,” Hawley added.
“There needs to be accountability. And the FBI has got to be overhauled now, top to bottom. It’s got to be completely reformed. It cannot go on like it is,” he said.
