Special counsel John Durham's long-awaited report on the Trump-Russia investigation was finally released on Monday. Here are the five most shocking bombshell revelations from the 306-page report.
The 306-page report, which Durham described as"sobering," cast doubt on the idea that the FBI should have ever begun its Crossfire Hurricane investigation and concluded that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign played an outsize role in pushing such collusion claims to the media and to the FBI, among numerous bombshell revelations.
“The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence also reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign,” Durham wrote.
The special counsel also singled out Marc Elias for criticism. Elias was the Clinton campaign's general counsel in 2016 and hired the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which hired Steele. Elias met with Steele in 2016 and periodically briefed the campaign about the findings from Fusion and Steele. The lawyer also coordinated closely with Michael Sussmann, his former Perkins Coie law firm colleague, on anti-Trump research in 2016.
Durham concluded, “Russian intelligence knew of Steele's election investigation for the Clinton campaign by no later than early July 2016” and “Steele's sources may have been compromised by the Russians at a time prior to the creation of the Steele Reports and throughout the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”
