The Worst Political Scandal in American History?
Donald Trump,Hillary Clinton,FBI,John Durham,Russia Probe
This week, special counsel John Durham released a 316-page report detailing the origins of Operation Crossfire Hurricane—the FBI’s investigation into supposed connections between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
The report is an astounding expose of corruption and collusion—not between former President Donald Trump and Russia, but between the Hillary Clinton campaign, friendlies at the FBI, and top officials at the Obama administration.
As it turns out, Crossfire Hurricane was initiated based on sheer conjecture. That conjecture was trafficked by Clinton’s 2016 campaign. And that conjecture served as the basis for a four-yearlong witch hunt into a bevy of allegations that ultimately came to nothing.
