WTH Happened with the Durham Report? Andy McCarthy on the FBI Failings

After four years of work, the Durham Report the origins of the
Trump-Russia investigation was released last week. And
notwithstanding the objections of the New York Times and other
partisans, the report was revelatory: the probable cause for
opening the Russia collusion investigation was so flimsy that
internal investigators had serious doubts and the Brits refused
to even touch the case; the primary source for the famous Steele
dossier was Igor Danchenko, previously suspected of working with
Russian intelligence; the dossier itself was funded by none other
than Hillary Clinton and the DNC. The case is convoluted and so
over-saturated with petty politics that even legal experts have a
hard time summarizing, but the most important takeaway remains
crystal clear: the FBI acted negligently and with extreme
political bias in their handling of what came to be called
Crossfire Hurricane. How did we end up with institutions charged
with fidelity to the law that Americans can no longer trust?
Perhaps more importantly: how can we do better?


Andrew McCarthy is a senior fellow at National Review Institute,
an NR contributing editor, and the author of Ball of Collusion:

as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New
York.
