And let\u2019s say this conspiracy implicated not just the FBI but also the White House, Justice Department, and CIA \u2014 and that nearly the entire corporate press went along with it, gleefully spreading the false narrative that this candidate was a Russian agent, running story after story of fabricated nonsense in a coordinated effort to ensure the opposing candidate won.<\/p>\n<p>In normal times, you\u2019d scoff at such an outlandish story, dismiss it as the plot of some half-baked Tom Clancy novel. That could never happen in America, you\u2019d say, where we have free and fair elections, the rule of law, and so on. And anyway, the media would never allow it to happen. They\u2019d be too invested in exposing the conspiracy and claiming, rightly, a Watergate-type story of their very own.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019d be wrong. All of that really happened in 2016, recounted in all its jaw-dropping detail in Special Counsel John Durham\u2019s 306-page report, released Monday after nearly four years in the making.<\/p>\n<h3> The Big Takeaway <\/h3>\n<p>The big takeaway from the report is that the Obama-era FBI launched a full investigation of the Trump campaign, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, in the summer of 2016 despite having zero evidence of any collusion between Trump and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but officials at the highest levels of the U.S. government, including President Obama, knew that the entire false narrative that Trump was colluding with Moscow was completely made up by the Clinton campaign in an effort to weaponize the federal government against Trump and distract from Hillary Clinton\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/19-times-democrats-and-doj-deliberately-politicized-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"19 Times Democrats And DOJ Deliberately Politicized Law Enforcement\">email server scandal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3> The Corruption and Partisan Malevolence <\/h3>\n<p>The Russia-collusion hoax was concocted and brought to life only because the most powerful people in the U.S. intelligence and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-durham-report-leaves-no-doubt-the-fbi-is-a-mortal-threat-to-democracy\/\" title=\"Durham Report confirms FBI as a threat to democracy.\">law enforcement community wanted<\/a> an excuse to weaponize the federal government against Donald Trump. They didn\u2019t want him to be president, simple as that. It didn\u2019t matter to them what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-rep-miller-meeks-says-people-should-be-outraged-house-could-unseat-her-from-congress\/\" title=\"GOP Rep. Miller-Meeks Says \u2018People Should Be Outraged\u2019 House Could Unseat Her From Congress\">voters wanted<\/a>; they thought they knew better. So they felt any abuse of power was justified in preventing Trump from winning the White House.<\/p>\n<p>That they failed is cold comfort because we know that failure didn\u2019t deter these people. When the next election cycle came around, the same people, including Brennan, were back at it, using their power and influence to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-slippery-slope-of-intelligence-sharing-with-ukraine\/\" title=\"The Slippery Slope of Intelligence Sharing With Ukraine\">shape public perceptions<\/a> of the campaign and push outright falsehoods on the American people.<\/p>\n<h3> The Sobering Reminder <\/h3>\n<p>The Durham report is a sobering reminder that we can\u2019t sustain a self-governing republic under these conditions. When the law enforcement and intelligence agencies of the federal government can be used as a weapon to undermine an outsider candidate for high office, it means our republic is in grave danger.<\/p>\n<p>It means, too, that it would be better if we had no FBI at all than the corrupt agency we have now, which sees fit to traffic in actual disinformation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shapiro-lying-about-misinformation-to-justify-tyranny\/\" title=\"SHAPIRO: Lying About \u2018Misinformation\u2019 To Justify Tyranny\">spread conspiracy theories<\/a>, and throttle the democratic process whenever a candidate comes along who threatens the status quo. That\u2019s the real lesson of the Durham report, and we ignore it at our peril.<\/p>\n<h3> Conclusion <\/h3>\n<p>The Durham report is a shocking revelation of the corruption and partisan malevolence that exists deep inside our federal government. It is a sobering reminder that we must take action to protect our self-governing republic. We cannot allow law enforcement and intelligence agencies to be used as weapons against political opponents. We must demand accountability and transparency from those in power, and we must never forget the lessons of the Durham report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>opposing campaign.
