Former Special Counsel John Durham just put to rest any doubts about the Department of Justice’s weaponization by left-wing ideologues against their political opponents.
In his first public remarks since the publication of the Durham report, the special counsel tasked with investigating the origins of the Russia-collusion hoax testified before lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. After the conclusion of his three-and-a-half-year probe, Durham spoke about the failure of the FBI to properly vet sources behind allegations of collusion between former President Donald Trump and the Russian government presented in the Steele dossier. The debunked dossier, authored by former British intelligence official Christopher Steele and financed by the DNC, became the foundational document that launched the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump.
Testifying with the calm and collected demeanor of a credible prosecutor, Durham made clear “there is not a single substantive piece of information in the [Steele] dossier that has ever been corroborated by the FBI or, to my knowledge, anyone else.”
