The FBI did not interview the people connected to the information it used to open a full investigation of the Trump campaign during the heat of the 2016 election, according to the report by special counsel John Durham.
The bureau rushed to open the initial investigation based on unvetted intelligence from Australia, according to Durham, who has spent nearly three years investigating the origins of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign.
The FBI’s rush to open the investigation and the shoddy evidence used as the premise for the probe were a departure from how the department treated other politically sensitive investigations in 2016, the report states. That includes the inquiry into the Clinton Foundation, which was virtually frozen in the leadup to Election Day in 2016.
The much-anticipated report (pdf), a copy of which The Epoch Times obtained ahead of its public release, also delves into other controversial aspects of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI codename for the investigation of the Trump campaign.
Flashback: Never forget the fake media spent 3 years peddling the Russia hoax that Durham his now confirming was 100% fake as we all knew from day one. Enemies of the people! pic.twitter.com/y4JTCiKgLH
