    FBI Leadership Sabotaged Clinton Foundation Investigations: Durham Report

    Despite this evidence, DOJ and FBI leadership essentially sabotaged the Clinton Foundation investigation. The DOJ was “hostile” to the Clinton Foundation presentations from the FBI Field Offices. And at a February 2016 FBI meeting to discuss the Clinton Foundation investigations, Assistant Director Andre McCabe ordered the cases to be closed. He would reconsider that demand following objections. However, any overt investigative steps needed McCabe’s approval. In May 2016, FBI Director Comey would, through an intermediary, demand the New York Field Office “cease and desist” their Clinton Foundation investigation. And in August 2016, as the presidential election approached, the US Attorneys’ offices in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York declined to issue subpoenas to the FBI New York Field Office in support of their Clinton Foundation investigation.


    Apparently the email scandal was easy to cover up, whereas a Clinton Foundation investigation was where the actual bodies were hiding.

          It’s an empty sack. He forgot to mention Manafort’s links to Russian spy Kilimnik. Republican hackery.

            What's more is that the FBI knew but still proceeded

              Not only will there be no one held to account, with the political left dismissing it outrightly (the political sides are just that divided), but since this became a pattern leading all the way up to 2020, there's absolutely zero reason to think their election tampering will ever stop. And now they're even more emboldened because they know they can get away with it without legal repercussion and with total MSM backing.

              It's not looking good for our country in 2024, which just may be the culmination point to all this. Who knows.

                If the Republican party had an ounce of integrity and backbone, they would make this THE number one issue heading into the next major election, but they won't.

                  I honestly don't think it would matter. As you can see, the NYT simply dismissed it all, and that's how the left will counter it. We can see what they're doing to Trump right now, and I'm sure they're cooking up yet another major fake scandal for 2024 against whoever the nominee is.

                    I am afraid you are right. Gas lighting and creating fake news has become the Democrats standard M.O. at this point. Biden and his administration routinely tell outright lies in press conferences and speeches. Claiming the economy is great, denying there is a border crisis, claiming Republicans want to defund Police, etc.

                      If the Republicans made enough noise and brought it up every time they were in front of a camera, word would get out even if the media tried to suppress it. But they're really not interested in winning.

It's the classic government trick of appearing to take action without actually taking action.

                            Yeah leftist commentators found it pretty funny how they investigated for so many years and found nothing. Pretty embarrassing for Republicans.

                              If you consider launching a three year investigation seeking to unseat a duly elected president when they knew there was no evidence behind the claims "nothing"

                                ? The Durham report found there was sufficient reason to launch a preliminary investigation. They did not know "there was no evidence behind the claims". How could they have known until they investigated? Nor did they find that there was "no evidence".

                                Just to be really clear, the FBI investigation began when Australian officials reported to American authorities that a Trump associate had said something that sounded incriminating about his Russian dealings to an Australian diplomat in a bar. It was not a matter of internal US politics sparking an investigation, but an allied nation expressing serious concerns and providing evidence. (Incidentally, another ally, Italy, subsequently reported an issue with Trump during the Durham investigation, and we were told "Durham will look into it" and then it appears he never did... it's mysteriously not in his report)

                                If your main complaint is that the FBI wasted time doing a Trump-Russia investigation (or that subsequently the Trump administration wasted time doing that investigation, as Republican Bill Barr appointed Republican Muller to carry it out), surely you'll find even more fault with Republican politicians for their investigation of the investigators in the Durham report (that found nothing prosecutable) taking longer than the original FBI/Mueller Trump-Russia investigation? And for the Republicans doing eight investigations into Benghazi?

                                Also worth bearing in mind that the Mueller investigation never exonerated Trump from Russian connections: Trump and all his top people simply refused to talk to Mueller so he wasn't able to properly investigate the subject, and he made clear in his report he viewed that as obstruction of justice.
