Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said that Special Counsel John Durham’s report about the origins of the FBI’s investigation into former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign revealed a “criminal abuse of power” that went up to the Obama-Biden White House.
Durham’s long-awaited report was released on Monday and concluded the FBI should have never launched an investigation into the Trump campaign.
As Breitbart News reported:
Durham’s 300-page report found a damning conclusion: “Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report.”
“Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities,” Durham’s report said, in apparent reference to the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded Fusion GPS “pee dossier” alleging collusion that the FBI relied on to investigate Trump.
The report also detailed how former CIA director John Brennan briefed former President Barack Obama and his top national security officials on the matter. Brennan briefed the Obama administration on the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016, of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”
