GOP candidates call for FBI shutdown after Durham Report.
Republican Presidential Candidates Respond to Durham Report
Rooting Out Corruption and Shutting Down the FBI
Two Republican presidential candidates have spoken out in response to the recent release of special counsel John Durham’s report, which discredits the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Both candidates expressed their satisfaction that the truth has come out and that there is now a case to argue for shutting down the FBI.
According to Durham, the FBI rushed to initiate the initial investigation based on unvetted intelligence from the Australian government, and the bureau did not interview the individuals connected to the intelligence used to launch a comprehensive investigation.
One of the candidates, Ramaswamy, responded to the report by saying, “Enough is enough. Root out the corruption & shut down the FBI.” He went on to say that this is achievable, and that an intermediary bureaucracy is rife with risk for politicized corruption.
Fellow businessman and Republican candidate Perry Johnson also expressed his satisfaction that the truth has come out on this issue. He noted that the Trump-Russia probe was nothing more than partisan political targeting and abuse of our legal system by the FBI.
DeSantis Calls for Accountability
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has made preparations for a presidential run in 2024 but has yet to formally announce his candidacy, expressed a similar sentiment on Twitter. He wrote, “The Durham Report confirmed what we already knew: weaponized federal agencies manufactured a false conspiracy theory about Trump-Russia collusion. It reminds us of the need to clean house at these agencies, as they’ve never been held accountable for this egregious abuse of power.”
Durham’s Findings
The much-anticipated report, a copy of which The Epoch Times obtained ahead of its public release, also delves into other controversial aspects of “Crossfire Hurricane”—the FBI codename for its investigation of the Trump campaign. The report states that the FBI’s handling of important aspects of the Crossfire Hurricane matter were seriously deficient.
Durham further impugned the bureau’s error-ridden applications to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page. FBI agents applied to renew the secret-court warrants on Page despite admitting, both at the time and subsequently, that they had no probable cause to do so.
Conclusion
The Durham report has shed light on the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign, and Republican presidential candidates are calling for accountability and change. It remains to be seen what actions will be taken in response to these findings, but one thing is clear: the truth must prevail.
