The recently released report by John Durham, after a 4-year investigation, reveals that the FBI hastily pursued allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, disregarding evidence that would have led them to drop the case. Durham suggests that confirmation bias played a significant role in the FBI's acceptance of uncorroborated information. He criticizes former FBI leaders James Comey and Andy McCabe for discounting information that didn't support the narrative of collusion. However, the report does not bring any additional charges against Comey or others as Trump had expected. It is important to note that President Biden allowed this investigation to continue along with another one involving Hunter Biden. Durham concludes that while no criminal allegations are made, the actions of the FBI and Justice Department fell short of professional standards.

An FBI agent at the center of the Russia collusion lie was sentenced with no jail time or fines, despite altering a document that enabled the FBI to spy on an American citizen for a year. Kevin Klein Smith received twelve months probation and four hundred hours of community service for doctoring an email about Trump advisor Carter Page, so the FBI could get a FISA warrant to wiretap him. This is the first guilty plea from special counsel John Durham's criminal investigation on the origins of the Russia collusion lie. Congressman Devin Nunes stated this is the worst thing that could have happened for national security. Nunes said Republicans in the House and Senate had alerted the court to problems with the Carter Page FISA application. Republicans may not support the FISA court moving forward.

One speaker asserts Brennan may claim a statute of limitations as a defense, but in a 2023 deposition, Brennan said he had no role in getting the Steele dossier into the intelligence community assessment. The speaker claims whistleblowers at CIA and John Ratcliffe say this is false. The speaker believes Brennan should be charged for lying to Congress, stating intelligence chiefs have avoided perjury charges, citing James Clapper's testimony on bulk domestic intelligence collection followed by the Snowden leaks. The speaker argues there needs to be accountability at the CIA, otherwise, people will feel emboldened. The speaker believes Russiagate hamstrung the entire presidency, leading the world to believe Trump was a Russian asset. They claim that in a July 2019 congressional hearing, Mueller had nothing, and they took down key elements of an entire presidency.

An individual sent two FBI agents to the White House to interview a senior official, Michael Flynn. This action bypassed typical protocols involving the White House counsel, which would have been followed in administrations like those of George W. Bush or Barack Obama. The speaker believed it was early enough in the administration to circumvent the usual process. A call was placed to Flynn, informing him that a couple of agents were being sent over to ask him some questions, to which Flynn agreed. The agents interviewed Flynn in a conference room at the White House Situation Room, and Flynn allegedly lied to them during the interview. He later pled guilty to this. Flynn was not informed about the specific purpose of the agents' visit beforehand.

The speaker discusses the FBI's investigation into a person accused of espionage. The FBI mistakenly believed that the person had left the country, but he was actually living in DC. Despite this, the FBI hired him and paid him over $200,000, even though they knew he was a Russian spy. The speaker also mentions another individual, Charles Dolan, who was a source for the false dossier used to spy on American citizens. Dolan and the Russian spy even met on a park bench, but the FBI refused to interview Dolan. The speaker criticizes the FBI's actions and highlights the problem of running investigations from headquarters instead of assigning a US attorney.

Russiagate was launched in the DOJ's National Security Division, then headed by John Carlin; Lisa Monaco headed homeland security at the White House. Now, Carlin is number three at DOJ, and Monaco is number two. Many FBI agents were fired due to Russiagate, but their proteges remain. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who broke the law during the Hillary Clinton email investigation, now works for CNN; Joe Biden restored his pension after it was taken away during the Trump administration. An FBI lawyer, Kevin Klein Smith, who doctored evidence for the Carter Page FISA warrant, had his law license reinstated after pleading guilty. James Baker, former FBI general counsel, signed the warrant for Comey on Russiagate and met with Michael Sussman. Despite knowing information was false, he allowed it to go to the FISA court. After being fired, he was hired as deputy general counsel at Twitter. Chris Wray later formed an 80-member task force that met with Twitter and Facebook weekly to suggest what information to put out; James Baker coordinated those meetings. Elon Musk fired Baker after taking over Twitter.

The FBI agent at the center of the Russia collusion lie sentenced today with no jail time and no fines despite altering the document, which enabled the FBI to spy on an an innocent American citizen for a year. This is the first guilty plea from special counsel John Durham's criminal investigation on the origins of the Russia collusion lie. Carter Page is here tonight with reaction after getting wiretapped for a year with no charges ever lobbed against him. "It's, I would say quite disturbing, Republicans and conservatives, around the country, that have watched this closely." "This is probably the worst thing that could have happened for national security." "The judge that made this ruling is the new judge that oversees the FISA court."

An FBI agent at the center of the Russia collusion lie was sentenced with no jail time or fines, despite altering a document that enabled the FBI to spy on an American citizen for a year. Kevin Klein Smith received twelve months probation and four hundred hours of community service for doctoring an email about Trump advisor Carter Page, which allowed the FBI to wiretap him. This is the first guilty plea from John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Russia collusion lie. Carter Page, who was wiretapped for a year with no charges, will give his reaction. Congressman Devin Nunes called the sentencing disturbing and says the judge who made the ruling is the new judge that oversees the FISA court. Republicans had alerted the court to problems with the Carter Page FISA application for years. Nunes believes this will become part of the Republican platform and Republicans will no longer support the FISA court.

Google informed the speaker of surveillance five years after the investigation began, but could not provide details. As a former national security prosecutor, the speaker believes all providers, telecoms, and banks were likely involved. Two individuals running the FBI and DOJ allegedly lied to the House Intelligence Committee and threatened them with investigation. One of those individuals, Rob Rosenstein, was exposed for signing a bogus Pfizer application. The speaker claims Chris Wray has repeatedly lied as FBI director. Gina Haspel, CIA director, was London station chief when Russia gate began, which the speaker describes as a barroom operation to record someone divulging information on Donald Trump.

The Durham report failed to address the issue of Russia's involvement in disseminating hacked emails to benefit Donald Trump. It focused on internal FBI files and only conducted a preliminary investigation. The report also discussed the Steele dossier, which led to convictions of six individuals connected to the Trump campaign. However, the report neglected to mention the FBI whistleblowers, who were deemed national security risks.

Speaker 0 states that sources have indicated Brennan used "reverse targeting" to entrap Trump advisors Carter Page and George Papadopoulos via Halper and Mifsud. Papadopoulos then told former Australian ambassador Downer about Russian offers to help Trump. This appears to be how Russiagate started. Speaker 1 believes John Brennan is a dark figure. Speaker 1 was arrested in 2012 and charged with espionage for blowing the whistle on the sea ice torch program. Speaker 1 claims to have found memos where Brennan told Holder to charge him with espionage, even after being advised against it. The espionage charges, carrying a potential death penalty, were later dropped after Speaker 1 went bankrupt from legal fees. Speaker 1 believes Brennan was responsible for the origin of Russiagate and that the CIA, under Brennan, devises operations to ruin people, cause suicides, or entrap individuals.

Michael Flynn pleaded guilty for lying to the FBI. He understood the intel world and its funding, making him a threat. A political appointee felt pressured to change their assessment but refused. President Obama warned Trump to stay away from Flynn.

After a 4-year investigation, the justice department released a 300-page report on the FBI's failures. Members of Congress will bring in John Durham to review the findings. The investigation confirms what we already knew from a previous inspector general report: the FBI did not uphold their duty to follow the law in certain events and activities related to the crossfire hurricane and intelligence operations.

There are more documents to be declassified that will show how sinister the FBI was in amplifying Hillary Clinton's steel dossier as real and credible, and how they buried the counterintelligence referral memo. According to Speaker 1, he and FBI director Patel will be declassifying these additional documents. Speaker 1 stated that there is no Russia collusion hoax file cabinet at the FBI or CIA, and that they have to look for well-hidden documents by tracing through emails and looking for signs and clues. The Trump administration will continue to shed transparency, light, and truth because this was the greatest political scandal of our lifetime. It derailed the country and President Trump's first four years in office, and Donald Trump is committed to making sure it doesn't happen again.

The Durham report allegedly reveals the Trump-Russia collusion story was a hoax known by Democrats, the FBI, the CIA, and Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton allegedly started the collusion story to distract from her email scandal, including a fabricated "pee tape" lie pinned on a Russian, conceived by DNC operative Charles Dolan. The FBI allegedly shut down investigations into the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's campaign taking illegal foreign contributions. James Comey allegedly pushed to spy on the Trump campaign, instructing people to not put anything in writing. Obama allegedly lied about his involvement in these investigations. The New York Times allegedly colluded with the Clinton campaign on stories, even seeking approval on drafts. The Biden administration allegedly obstructed the Durham report. While CNN acknowledged the report is devastating to the FBI and exonerates Trump to a degree, MSNBC claimed the report is a "big fat nothing." The speaker suggests the media believes they won because no one was jailed.

A report from Substack claims that the US intelligence community asked foreign agencies to spy on over 26 associates of Donald Trump during the 2016 election. It states that CIA Director John Brennan identified these individuals as targets for manipulation and misinformation. The report suggests that the intelligence community initiated the Russia collusion narrative differently than previously portrayed. Michael Shellenberger emphasized the seriousness of the information if it includes raw intelligence contradicting the official story. This report coincides with House conservatives preparing a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which permits the collection of communications from foreigners abroad. The House Rules Committee is set to discuss this FISA reform bill.

Kash Patel and Devin Nunes concluded that Russiagate was a hoax. They created a 17-page classified report exposing corruption within the intelligence community that fueled the hoax. John Ratcliffe and Patel intended to release the report when they were Trump's DNI and deputy DNI, but the CIA locked it up. According to the transcript, then-CIA Director Gina Haspel did not allow the report to be released, allegedly protecting her predecessor, John Brennan. Russiagate was a politically funded operation involving lying to a secret court to illegally surveil a political opponent. Gina Haspel was allegedly one of the leading Russiagate architects and was the CIA station chief for England when Russiagate was launched in 2016. With Patel at the FBI and Ratcliffe at the CIA, Haspel could be in trouble.

The FBI was accused of treason and illegal spying, but the truth is that all of that was nonsense. I was wrong about the FISA process being handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way; I was overconfident. The Steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a FISA order, but the FBI didn't conclude that Steele's reporting was bunk after talking to a sub source. As director, I wasn't informed on the details of the investigation. The inspector general did not find misconduct by any FBI people, but mistakes, negligence, and oversight. One FBI lawyer doctored a document. The inspector general did not find political bias or illegal conduct, but significant mistakes. The American people were given false information about the FBI. It is honest, and flawed. It's unclear if there was gross incompetence, negligence, or intentionality.

Speaker 0 questions if anyone has been held accountable for lying to the FISA court for the Carter Page warrant. Speaker 1 mentions an ongoing disciplinary process. Speaker 0 expresses concern about reauthorizing extraordinary authorities due to the agency's history of abuses and concealing information about allegations against the president. Speaker 1 tries to shift the focus to reforms, but Speaker 0 insists on discussing the reauthorization of section 702, highlighting the agency's track record of abuse, illegal surveillance, and political targeting.

The FISA Court has revealed illegal activity by the FBI and private contractors in accessing data collected by the NSA. Admiral Mike Rogers, head of the NSA, discovered the improper disclosure of raw intelligence about Americans to unauthorized individuals. The FBI shared secret data about Americans with private contractors, some of whom worked for the Democratic National Committee and Fusion GPS. The court was unaware of the political connection or the abuses that occurred. Admiral Rogers informed the court of the compliance issue, exposing significant noncompliance with the NSA's minimization procedures. The FBI's actions were aimed at creating a false case against Donald Trump. The court expressed concern about the FBI's disregard for rules and deliberate access granted to contractors. The names of the contractors and officials involved remain classified.

The Obama administration allegedly spied on the Trump campaign and presidency, misleading the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to obtain search warrants. The court was not informed that the main evidence was the Trump dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic party. The dossier was described as unverified and salacious by FBI Director Comey. The court was also not told that the British spy who wrote part of the dossier was biased against Trump. Additionally, the court was not informed that the FBI fired the source of the dossier for leaking information to the media. The government presented a Yahoo article as corroboration, without disclosing that it was based on the phony dossier. The FISA court approved the warrant multiple times without knowing the full story. FBI and DOJ officials are accused of lying to the court and the American people. The dossier was crucial in obtaining the warrant, and without it, they would not have been able to do so. The Grassley-Graham memo and report further confirmed the deception by the FBI. The search warrant targeted Carter Page, a former Trump campaign volunteer, but it was also used to spy on others in the Trump team. The spying was seen as an attempt to ensure Clinton's victory and as an insurance policy in case Trump won. This is considered a serious violation of the US constitution and an attempt to subvert the will of the American people. Several high-ranking FBI and DOJ officials may face criminal charges for their actions.

The Durham report is out, confirming the Trump-Russia collusion story was a Democrat-led hoax, with the FBI, CIA, and Obama knowing it all along. Hillary Clinton initiated the collusion narrative to deflect from her email scandal, fabricating the "pee tape" story involving a DNC operative in Russia. The FBI shut down investigations into the Clinton Foundation's foreign money laundering and illegal campaign contributions from overseas. Comey was eager to spy on the Trump campaign, instructing his team to avoid written records. The Obama administration obstructed investigations into Hillary while pushing fake investigations into Trump. The New York Times colluded with the Clinton campaign, even allowing them to review and approve stories. The Biden administration obstructed the Durham report, with FBI agents refusing to cooperate. Despite all this evidence, the media downplays the findings, as no one is being held accountable.

There is no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to Mister Durham. The FBI's investigation had failures and did not reveal any conspiracy or collusion between Trump and Russian authorities. Vice President Biden and President Obama were aware of this, while Hillary Clinton fabricated it. The FBI orchestrated the investigation, and the media sold it to the public. The question remains: who watches the watchmen? The FBI is seen as protecting the nation's capital but not the American people. Republicans on the judiciary committee must hold the FBI accountable.

The discussion centers on the Inspector General's (IG) report on the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign. Speaker 0 claims the report vindicates the FBI from accusations of treason and illegal spying. However, Speaker 1 points out the IG's findings of significant inaccuracies and omissions in the FISA applications, including 17 errors. Speaker 0 admits to being wrong about the FISA process but maintains the Steele dossier was part of a broader mosaic of facts. Speaker 1 counters that the IG found the dossier essential to obtaining the FISA warrant and that the FBI renewed the application multiple times despite knowing the Steele reporting was not credible. Speaker 1 highlights that the CIA informed the FBI about Carter Page's relationship with them, but this information was not shared with the FISA court. Additionally, an FBI lawyer allegedly altered a document to state Page was not a source. Speaker 0 states the IG did not find misconduct by FBI personnel, only mistakes. Speaker 1 notes that the case of Kevin Klein Smith has been referred for criminal investigation. Speaker 0 emphasizes the IG did not find criminal misconduct, political bias, or illegal conduct.
