Durham testimony reaffirms what we knew the investigation into the Trump collusion with Russia was a myth and was made up

"Our Findings Were Sobering": John Durham Gives Fiery Testimony On FBI Abuses, Schools Schiff

Following the May 12 release of Special Counsel John Durham's long-awaited "Report on Matters Related to Intelligence Activities and Investigations Arising Out of the 2016 Presidential Campaigns," which found that the FBI's original investigation of Trump was unwarranted, Durham sat for testimony on Wednesday which was originally slated to be closed-door, only to be opened up for the public to see.

In comments to the House Judiciary Committee, Durham reiterated the report's findings that there was "not a legitimate basis" for the Crossfire Hurricane investigation - before shooting down several barbs from Democrats;

He also suggested Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has a few skeletons in his closet.

Durham said that several FBI agents apologized to him for how the Trump investigation was run.

"The FBI was too willing to accept and use politically funded and uncorroborated opposition research such as the Steele Dossier," said Durham, who also confirmed that there was no collusion found between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Of course, many would like to know why Durham didn't 'do anything' more meaningful in terms of prosecutorial recommendations.

To that end, Matt Taibbi suggests a few hard questions for Durham;

1. Why were former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, along with FBI officials Bill Priestap, Peter Strzok, and Kevin Clinesmith, and others allowed to refuse cooperation?

2. Where is Mifsud?

3. Why were “omissions” or “misstatements” by FBI officials and/or their sources treated as such, and not as criminal lying, as would likely have happened in Robert Mueller’s investigation? 

4. Why was Halper’s name kept out of the report? What other “informant” activity was obscured?

5. Why did you punt on the hack?
