While some of the content merely rehashes what we already knew, Durham&#8217;s report confirms the FBI&#8217;s unjustified investigation and sheds light on the Clinton campaign&#8217;s role in the plot.<\/p>\n<h3>FBI&#8217;s Unjustified Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>Durham&#8217;s report confirms that the FBI launched the Crossfire Hurricane investigation without justification. The FBI opened the full investigation without even speaking with the Australian diplomat or conducting any review or analysis of the supposed intel. Durham stressed that \u201cneither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community\u201d possessed any \u201cactual evidence of collusion\u201d when they launched Crossfire Hurricane, which spurred \u201cmultiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Clinton&#8217;s Top Billing<\/h3>\n<p>Durham&#8217;s report also confirms many details concerning Hillary Clinton and her campaign\u2019s role in peddling the Russia-collusion hoax. The report detailed the intelligence agencies\u2019 briefing of then-President Obama on the &#8220;Clinton Plan&#8221; and the CIA\u2019s <a title=\"Durham's record exposes deep-state and Dem corruption, confirming conservative suspicions.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/durhams-much-needed-record-of-deep-state-and-dem-corruption-proves-conservatives-were-spot-on\/\">formal written referral memorandum<\/a> to Comey and Strzok. Durham concluded that the government\u2019s handling of the Clinton Plan represented a <a title=\"Obama CIA Director: Biden Must Take \u2018Responsibility\u2019 For Afghanistan Debacle, \u2018Admit Mistakes\u2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/obama-cia-director-biden-must-take-responsibility-for-afghanistan-debacle-admit-mistakes\/\">significant intelligence failure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Outrageous FISA Abuse<\/h3>\n<p>Durham&#8217;s report elaborated on the FISA abuse previously summarized by the inspector general. Durham focused heavily on the FBI\u2019s use of the Steele dossier, stressing that agents relied on the unverified claims to support a FISA warrant and then sought three more extensions, even as the case against Page continued to weaken.<\/p>\n<h3>Complicit Media<\/h3>\n<p>The media\u2019s complicity in the Russia-collusion hoax was an undercurrent throughout the <a title=\"Senior FBI Official Violated Policy, Accepted Dinners And Black-Tie Event Invitations From Media\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senior-fbi-official-violated-policy-accepted-dinners-and-black-tie-event-invitations-from-media\/\">special counsel report<\/a>. The Durham report made clear the press bore responsibility for the hoax as well.<\/p>\n<p>While Durham failed to hold anyone else criminally responsible for the plot, the report provides the summary Americans need to understand the breadth of the malfeasance. In the days and weeks ahead, there will be plenty of time to evaluate the report as a whole and second-guess Durham\u2019s charging decisions, but for now, we should celebrate that a public record of the extensive misconduct has finally been made.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Margot Cleveland is The Federalist&#8217;s <a title=\"The Facts on Trump\u2019s Lawsuit Against Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and More\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-facts-on-trumps-lawsuit-against-hillary-clinton-the-dnc-and-more\/\">senior legal correspondent<\/a>.
