Hillary Clinton famously declared that Trump’s supporters were “deplorables”. But the Durham Report has finally been released and it proves categorically and unequivocally that it was her campaign that were the deplorables, peddling deliberately false information to create the lie that Donald Trump was a Putin puppet.
Special counsel John Durham’s report is a prime example of why Americans lack confidence in the government, according to prominent legal scholar Alan Dershowitz.
“I think it reveals that Americans are right to distrust the government—even civil servants people in the government,” Dershowitz told The Epoch Times on May 15. “This case demonstrates that people are prepared to distort the Constitution to get their way—get their partisan, political way.”
Durham, appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr in October 2020 to review the 2016–17 FBI investigation of alleged ties between former President Donald Trump and Russia, concluded in a report that authorities had no basis to launch the probe.
“[N]either U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Durham wrote in the report. Crossfire Hurricane is the FBI codename for the agency’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
Durham wrote that the FBI relied on “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence” for its investigation. “The objective facts show that the FBI’s handling of important aspects of the Crossfire Hurricane matter were seriously deficient,” he added.
Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, said that the U.S. intelligence community, including the FBI and the CIA, saw Trump as a “danger,” a view that the scholar said drove their conviction to “get Trump,” echoing the name and theme of his book, “Get Trump.” In that book, Dershowitz argues that Trump’s political enemies have waged an unconstitutional campaign to prevent Trump from retaking the presidency and, in the process, challenging the foundational American principles such as due process and free speech.
“I think it was who he was—what kind of an outsider he was. He was a disruptive outsider who had no respect for the Washington, D.C. permanent government.”

The FBI and CIA were fed a bunch of lies by the Clinton campaign via the Steele dossier. Then the mainstream media were fed salacious and false narratives and details to attrite Trump’s campaign. It was worse than innuendo; it was what these days would be called disinformation – deliberate falsehoods peddled as though they were true.
The truly evil part was that civil servants did this on behalf and ultimately at the behest of the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign, to tilt the playing field in favour of Clinton.
It was shameless, and not one, including the media, has even apologised much less been charged with any crime, for criminal intent and execution that this surely was.
The FBI investigation into the Trump campaign “is unprecedented in our history,” Dershowitz said, and he warned that the probe even happening “is extraordinarily dangerous.”
“I think there has to be consequences to the people who were involved. And that’s why I’m glad there are going to be hearings,” he said. “People have to know they can’t do this.”
On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) announced that he had sent a letter to Durham, asking the special counsel to testify at a hearing on May 25. He asked Durham to be prepared to answer questions from committee members.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a statement calling on the committee’s Chairman, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), to “quickly hold” a hearing on the Durham report.
Another senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), called on the FBI to start cooperating with a GOP subpoena for documents about then-Vice President Joe Biden.
“We know the FBI relied on unverified claims to relentlessly target a Republican president. What did the FBI do to investigate claims involving a Democrat President? It’s time for the FBI to cooperate and show its work to the American people,” Grassley said.
In response to the Durham report, the FBI acknowledged mistakes in its investigation of the Trump campaign.
“Had those reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented,” the FBI said.

People need to be sacked, prosecuted and vilified after what they did.
Sadly, I think nothing even remotely like that will come to pass.
The Democrat criminals, like Adam Schiff, who promoted this travesty are still peddling it. Even Joe Biden is implicated, as he signed off key aspects of the scam.
If ever there was a need for impeachment this has more legs than the Democrats’ flimsy impeachments of Donald Trump.
Remember whenever the left accuses you of anything, it is what they are actually doing. Hillary Clinton and her campaign were the real deplorables.
