DOJ's obsession with Trump leads it to false conclusions
...
According to Mueller’s final report to the Attorney General, “the evidence was insufficient to charge that any member of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.”
As Durham noted in his voluminous report, “It seems highly likely that, at a minimum, confirmation bias played a significant role in the FBI’s acceptance of grave allegations derived from uncorroborated information that had not been subjected to the typical exacting analysis employed by the FBI and other members of the Intelligence Community. In short, it is the Office’s assessment that the FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia. Similarly, the FBI Inspection Division Report says that the investigators ‘repeatedly ignore[ d] or explain[ ed] away evidence contrary to the theory the Trump campaign … had conspired with Russia …. It appeared that … there was a pattern of assuming nefarious intent.’ An objective and honest assessment of these strands of information should have caused the FBI to question not only the prediction for Crossfire Hurricane but also to reflect on whether the FBI was being manipulated for political or other purposes. Unfortunately, it did not.”
And it wouldn’t end there. Now, the Justice Department is engaged in another top-down investigation of Trump, indicting him for documents he possessed when he left Office that effectively declassified his actions President under Article II of the Constitution, even as Trump stands for reelection in 2024 against sitting President Joe Biden.
That’s what dictatorships do. If one crime doesn’t stick, they just find another one with which to jail their political opponents over policy differences. Durham gave members of Congress a road map with how it all went wrong, citing what he called “personal bias” by members of the Justice Department who were determined to take Trump down at any cost.
...
The FBI desperately needs a house cleaning, along with the FBI. Many in the department and agencies have a built-in bias that leads them to want to thwart democracy.
