Durham describes in testimony James Comey's deception
Sad spectacle at the Durham testimony in the House yesterday was the about to be sanctioned liar Adam Schiffhead's grilling of Russia Hoax investigator John Durham .
That farce detracted from the important accounting that Durham made about a relevant sequence of events .
Durham responding to questions from Rep Jim Jordan said that then CIA Director John Brennan had on July 28 ,2016 warned the emperor ,Quid Pro Joe ,Att General Loretta Lynch ,and DNI James Clapper , that the Evita campaign planned to set up the Russia Hoax as a dirty trick to detract attention from the FBI investigation of her emails .
This was a plan concocted by Evita operative Jake Sullivan who is now the National Security advisor for Quid.
That information was passed on to the FBI Director James Comey and his flunky Peter Strzok (who's texts to his paramour Lisa Page reveal that the FBI had an "insurance policy" to prevent Trump from becoming President) in a referral of information called a 'Counterintelligence Operational Lead '(CIOL).
The CIOL states ;
"Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date," the memo continued. "An exchange [REDACTED] discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."
That information was NOT passed on by Comey to his agents when 'Crossfire Hurricane ' was opened on July 31,2016 .
According to the Durham report;
"The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBI’s investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation"
Report on Matters Related to Intelligence Activities and Investigations Arising Out of the 2016 Presidential Campaigns (justice.gov)
"Indeed, had the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation as an assessment and, in turn, gathered and analyzed data in concert with the information from the Clinton Plan intelligence, it is likely that the information received would have been examined, at a minimum, with a more critical eye"
The report goes on ;
"Whether or not the Clinton plan intelligence was based on reliable or unreliable information, or was ultimately true or false it, it should have prompted FBI personnel to immediately undertake an analysis of the information and to act with far greater care and caution when receiving, analyzing, and relying upon materials of partisan origins, such as the Steele Reports, and the Alfa Bank allegations"
That is of course IF the investigators were privy to the information .
The FBI investigators acted on the information they had received from the top brass .
Durham told Rep Jordan that they were shocked and upset when HE TOLD THEM about the CIOL .
JORDAN: “Can you tell the committee what happened when you took that referral memo, and shared it with one of those agents?” DURHAM: “He indicated he had never seen it before. He immediately became emotional…” JORDAN: “He was ticked off!” DURHAM: “The information was kept from them”

DURHAM: "No." JORDAN: "Can you tell the committee what happened when you took that referral memo, and shared it with one of those agents?"

The director of the FBI knowingly withheld evidence pertinent to an FBI investigation. That resulted not just in errors made by the agents conducting the investigation that might have resulted ending what turned out to be a witch hunt that lasted well into the Trump Presidency and cost the nation $millions in a wasted investigation . Most important ;it also contributed to misrepresentations to the FISA court about the nature of the evidence they used to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign figures.
