Durham report: FBI criticised by special counsel for Trump-Russia inquiry - BBC News
"A long-awaited report has strongly criticised the FBI's handling of its investigation into alleged ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.
"In a 306-page report, special counsel John Durham said the agency's inquiry lacked "analytical rigor".
"He concluded the FBI had not possessed evidence of collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia before launching an inquiry.
"The FBI said it had addressed the issues highlighted in the report.
"In the report, Mr Durham - who was appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr in 2019 - accused the FBI of acting on "raw, unanalysed and uncorroborated intelligence"." . . .
Sen. Johnson: Whistleblower Allegations Reveal Corrupt FBI Undermined Hunter Bid... (senate.gov) . . ." For nearly two years I have sought to get information from the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) about the purpose of, and who ordered, this briefing. On May 3, 2021, Senator Grassley and I reiterated these requests in a letter to Directors Wray and Haines.[4] Both failed to provide complete responses.[5]
"The inability of FBI and ODNI to be transparent with Congress on this matter and other matters relating to Hunter Biden is deeply concerning. Once again, the FBI’s integrity has been called into question. If these whistleblower allegations are accurate, how can your agency, Director Wray, be capable of investigating the president’s son? Unfortunately, the FBI can no longer be trusted to investigate Hunter Biden with integrity and the equal application of law.
"Attorney General Garland, you have failed to provide Senator Grassley and me with assurances that any DOJ investigation into Hunter Biden’s potential criminal activity will be free of conflicts of interest. The American people should not have to tolerate your silence any longer.". . .
