Tapper revealed that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/4-baseless-conspiracy-theories-the-media-continues-to-report-as-fact\/\" title=\"4 Baseless Conspiracy Theories The Media Continues To Report As Fact\">report exonerates<\/a> former President Donald Trump &#8220;to a degree.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Devastating Durham Report<\/h3>\n<p>Former Attorney General Bill Barr tasked Durham with examining the propriety of the FBI&#8217;s investigation of President Trump. On Monday, Durham released a 306-page report that found the FBI had no evidence to support a Trump-Russia scandal when it began its investigation. The report also found &#8220;sobering&#8221; differences in how the FBI approached the Trump probe compared to other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-jeopardized-national-security-by-calling-verified-hunter-biden-evidence-disinformation-whistleblowers-say\/\" title=\"FBI Jeopardized National Security By Calling Verified Hunter Biden Evidence \u2018Disinformation,\u2019 Whistleblowers Say\">politically sensitive investigations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we concluded the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fl-democratic-mayor-60-minutes-ran-intentionally-false-report-on-desantis-omitted-info-that-kneecaps-their-narrative\/\" title=\"FL Democratic Mayor: \u201860 Minutes\u2019 Ran \u2018Intentionally False\u2019 Report On DeSantis, Omitted Info \u2018That Kneecaps Their Narrative\u2019\">important mission<\/a> of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report,&#8221; the report says.<\/p>\n<p>The report also revealed that &#8220;FBI personnel repeatedly disregarded important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while acknowledging \u2013 both then and in hindsight \u2013 that they did not genuinely believe there was probably cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-house-republicans-demand-information-from-nsa-about-allegations-the-agency-illegally-spied-on-tucker-carlson\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans Demand Information From NSA About Allegations The Agency Illegally Spied On Tucker Carlson\">clandestine intelligence activities<\/a> on behalf of foreign power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Backlash Across Social Media<\/h3>\n<p>Tapper&#8217;s remarks over the report stirred up backlash across social media on Monday. Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, called Tapper &#8220;Patient Zero&#8221; for pushing the alleged collusion back in January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Former CNN sports correspondent Keith Olbermann called Tapper&#8217;s remarks the network&#8217;s latest scandal and demanded that Tapper resign.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The Durham report has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnns-jake-tapper-says-durham-report-devastating-to-fbi-exonerates-trump-to-a-degree\/\" title=\"Jake Tapper of CNN claims Durham report hurts FBI, clears Trump somewhat.\">long-awaited investigation<\/a> into the FBI&#8217;s handling of the Trump-Russia scandal.
