Paul Craig Roberts summary:

The FBI Must Be Held Accountable for Russiagate

The long awaited US Justice Department “Russiagate” report by Special Counsel John Durham exonerated President Donald Trump from false charges

Durham names former Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, former Director of FBI Counterintelligence, as responsible for the plot to destroy a sitting President of the United States. Durham’s 300-page report confirms what Trump said from the beginning that Russiagate was a FBI witch hunt completely devoid of evidence.

yup and they get off Scott free and continue on without any changes

Too many cameras around these days to just shoot him.

So, if you believe the Durham report it means the federal government is not trustworthy, and if you insist the report is false it means the federal government is not trustworthy.

Our government has become infested with corruption. There are no two ways about it. The question is more along the lines of, WHAT ARE WE THE PEOPLE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ??? My bet is, not a darned thing.

The best summation I've seen on the 'net.

Oh, and to John Durham - thanks for your service. You really went above and beyond: taking four freaking years to tell us what we already knew. The check is in the mail. Hold your breath. /s

I read some commentary a few days ago that accused Durham of holding his report until the statute of limitations had expired.

I have no idea whether any of this is correct/true...

This would not surprise me one bit.

The Biggest Revelation From The Durham Report

now, after a 3 1/2-year wait, special counsel Durham’s report finally sheds light on the details of the dispute.

In what is arguably the most important sentence of the entire 308-page report, Durham states that “According to [Alexander] Downer, Papadopoulos made no mention of Clinton emails, dirt or any specific approach by the Russian government to the Trump campaign team with an offer or suggestion of providing assistance.”

In one sentence, Durham crushed the FBI’s justification for the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. There was no mention of Clinton’s emails, no mention of any dirt, and neither was there any mention of an offer from Russia. The official narrative, which the FBI not only used to open the investigation but also used to obtain FISA warrants on Trump campaign aide Carter Page, to push Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel, and to pressure Congress into investigating Trump, was plain false.

Notably, the FBI also pushed its false story about Papadopoulos spilling the beans on Russia collusion during a drunken encounter at a London bar to the media

This is evidence of a blatant coup attempt against Trump and the American people by the FBI

Wasn't their attempt a success?

They had to steal the election for that, but certainly you could say this coup attempt negatively impacted Trump in the 2020 election.

Everything the security state has done since Trump became the Republican nominee in 2016 has been an ongoing coup against the Constitution and the American people.

I believe it has been going on years before that. Donald Trump simply exposed it all.

I agree with both of you .... It really has become horribly obvious these past few years, unfortunately.

Yeah, actually it’s been going on at least since JFK threatened them.
