Durham Report reveals two-tiered justice system catastrophe.

The Durham Report Exposes FBI’s Two-Tiered Justice System

The United States’ justice system has been exposed as two-tiered by Special Counsel John Durham, who concluded that the FBI had no evidence to launch the infamous “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and its alleged ties to Russia. Durham released a 320-page report on Monday after nearly four years of investigation, which found that investigators based the probe on false allegations and concluded that the Department of Justice and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law.

Sobering Differences in Approach

The report states that there were “sobering” differences in the FBI’s approach compared to other politically sensitive cases, and that an “objective and honest assessment of these strands of information should have caused the FBI to question not only the predication for Crossfire Hurricane, but also to reflect on whether the FBI was being manipulated for political or other purposes.” The extensive report has prompted demands for accountability within the FBI.

Violations of Policy and Procedures

Real Clear Investigations senior writer and Federalist editor Mark Hemingway noted critical takeaways from the report that showcased how the FBI violated reams of established policy and procedures to pursue this investigation. “They knew very quickly that it was baseless, and yet they seem to continue to pursue this investigation incredibly aggressively in a way that was totally unprecedented and flew in the face of all kinds of contrary evidence that they had in their possession about it,” Hemingway told The Daily Wire in a special edition of “Morning Wire.”

No Substantive Evidence of Collusion

According to the report, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appeared to have any actual evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia, and Crossfire investigators failed to corroborate any of the substantive allegations primarily based on since-debunked notorious dossier provided by former British MI6 spy Christopher Steele.

Implications of Politically-Motivated Animus and Bias

Durham’s investigation has only led to the conviction of former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who was sentenced to 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service for altering an email used in one of the FISA applications alleging that former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page had been a source for the Central Intelligence Agency. Hemingway believes the report’s troubling revelations and sweeping implications represent a “catastrophic” politically-motivated animus and bias across the justice system from officials who neglected their respect for civil rights and democracy.

Downplaying the Findings

Durham’s report has also prompted demands for accountability over the attempts to downplay the findings by Biden Administration officials and the legacy media outlets like the New York Times and Washing Post, which both received a Pulitzer Prize for reporting on false claims of collusion despite a glaring lack of evidence.

Importance of Knowing the Truth

Despite the damning evidence, lack of integrity, and regard for established procedures noted by Durham in the report, Hemingway said he doubts any significant indictments or accountability for subverting democracy would come from the investigation. “I know that’s depressing, but knowing the truth always matters,” he tweeted. “Don’t forget that.”
