Barr: Durham report clears Trump, FBI probe was terrible.
Former AG William Barr: Durham Report Clears Trump of Wrongdoing in Russiagate
Former Attorney General William Barr has declared John Durham’s long-awaited report a success, indicating that it has cleared former President Donald Trump of all wrongdoing in the Russiagate scandal. The report, which runs to over 300 pages, reveals that FBI agents pursued a full investigation without any actual evidence supporting the alleged claims of coordination between Trump’s associates and Russia during his 2016 campaign.
The FBI’s Investigation Was an Abomination
Barr has called the FBI’s investigation “one of the greatest injustices done to a presidential candidate and president,” designating the federal law enforcement agency’s probe as “an abomination.” He added that Trump “was treated unfairly here. So, he is vindicated as far as Russiagate is concerned.”
Trump Was Right All Along
Barr believes the report will help Trump in the short-term, but he stands by previous comments that he believes the former commander-in-chief is not the right person to lead the Republican Party forward. However, he did acknowledge that Trump was right all along in calling out the FBI and Department of Justice for falsely investigating him for alleged collusion with Russia.
Clinton’s Campaign Launched a Smear Campaign
The report also revealed that Clinton’s 2016 campaign launched “a smear campaign” based on Russian sources in an effort to undermine Trump by spreading false claims to the FBI and media outlets. Barr noted that while Durham’s probe was about getting to the truth, it was not launched as a criminal investigation. He also stated that people who compare it to the Mueller investigation are simply wrong.
