Durham\u2019s report stated that the Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them.<\/p>\n<p>Former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe were also referenced in Durham\u2019s report. President Donald Trump reacted to Durham\u2019s findings, stating that the American public was scammed and that there must be a heavy price to pay for putting the country through this.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you think more must be done to clean out the DOJ and FBI?<\/h3>\n<p>Durham indicted three people during his investigation: former Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann, Democratic political operative Igor Danchenko, and former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith. Sussmann and Danchenko were found not guilty in their trials, while Clinesmith pleaded guilty in August 2020 to changing information on a FISA warrant application.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI reacted to Durham\u2019s report with a statement, stating that the conduct in 2016 and 2017 that Special Counsel Durham examined was the reason that current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Special Counsel John Durham determined that the DOJ and FBI lacked the necessary evidence to launch their 2016 investigation into the Donald Trump campaign called \u201cCrossfire Hurricane\u201d over alleged collusion with Russia.<\/li>\n<li>The House Intelligence Committee discovered that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign funded the creation of the Steele dossier, which the FBI and DOJ used to obtain FISA warrants to spy on members of Trump\u2019s campaign.<\/li>\n<li>Durham indicted three people during his investigation: former Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann, Democratic political operative Igor Danchenko, and former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Counsel&#8217;s findings, the DOJ and FBI lacked evidence to launch the 2016 &#8220;Crossfire Hurricane&#8221; investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
