Special Counsel John Durham has revealed that the FBI failed to act on a “clear warning sign” of an effort by Hillary Clinton to manipulate the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election, Fox News Digital reports.
Durham found intelligence on a plan by Clinton’s presidential campaign in July 2016 to connect then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia in an attempt to divert attention from the investigation into her use of a private email server and mishandling of classified information.
As confirmed by Durham: Obama knew. Clinton knew. Biden knew. Comey knew. Brennan knew. McCabe knew. Strzok knew.Clapper knew.Schiff knew.FBI knew.DOJ knew.They all knew Trump was innocent but they smeared and spied on him. Worse than Watergate. Trump is a crime victim! pic.twitter.com/hnrD3z3KDe

Durham’s final report stated that then-CIA Director John Brennan quickly briefed then-President Barack Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and other top national security officials on the plan.
No action was taken, and the information was not referred to the FBI.

“The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBI’s investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” the report stated.
The FBI began its counterintelligence investigation into whether candidate Donald Trump and his campaign were colluding or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 campaign on July 31, 2016, which was referred to as “Crossfire Hurricane.” After the Brennan briefing, the CIA forwarded the information through a Counterintelligence Operational Lead to then-FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok.

The memo stated: “The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate. Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date. An exchange [REDACTED] discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”
Durham interviewed a number of Clinton campaign officials, including then-foreign policy adviser and now-Biden National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
Sullivan said he had not seen the reporting and called it “ridiculous,” but could not conclusively rule out the possibility that the campaign had a strategy or plan to distract negative attention away from Clinton by tying Trump to Russia.
