Durham Report Reveals Massive Failures in FBI's Investigation of Trump
2023-05-17
[Justice.gov] The Durham Special Investigations Report all 316 pages of it.

Summary: The FBI was in a political rushed to open the initial investigation based on rumored ,unverified, innuendos from Australia sources, according to the report.

The FBI's investigation was based on lame evidence, at based, that was used as the premise for the Trump probe. Many source indicate the investigative foundation and process used was a clear departure from how the FBI treated other politically sensitive investigations in 2016.

An example being the inquiry into the Clinton Foundation, which was halted and frozen going into the 2016 lead up to Election Day.

#6  several legit reasons why Durham Report delayed

- many, many people had to be interviewed, some multiple times

- documentation to support report was probably 100k individual items - some of which had to await declassification or redaction before being ingested into the investigation

- Durham wanted cooperation from witnesses and if fact needed such cooperation and it took months to negotiate terms of this cooperation

but having said all that, IMO, it still should have been completed at least a year ago

#4  /\ Based on what we saw in their one prosecution and the other case of changing the Carter Page emails

Page was a beltway insider and US Naval Intelligence professional. He's consistently played the victim. I suspect he was a witting conspirator. Nobody is that stupid.

#3  The stall strategy was the Mueller investigation; they would have made it last for the entire Trump presidency if possible. Based on what we saw in their one prosecution and the other case of changing the Carter Page emails, there is no law or courts in DC to begin with other than the Kangaroo variety. The duration was probably caused by obstruction by everyone in government. The contents of the report was exactly what the DOJ did not want. I think it is legit.

#1  Question of the Week:
Did Durham's investigation take 5+/- years, so that the statue of limitation's would run out, to avoid charges and prosecutions of various DC Swamp groups, Federal agencies staff and Political elites?

Which included Treason, Sedition and the numerous criminal felonies committed.
