findings. >> the press and fbi gave a penny somewhat of professionalism and took up the cause of vengeance. the real story here from the fbi's perspective is what an abomination that this was, this so-called investigation. it wasn't a witchhunt, it is a good imitation of one. >> let's bring in kim stross all who is following this story and then right from the beginning and their skepticism about the russian collusion narrative. what was the most important thing you learned from the durham report? >> i think the most important thing is what you touched on. it never should have been opened in the first place. the reason it was was in part because the fbi skipped all kinds of preliminary steps. they didn't do any interviews or try to corroborate or look at their own intelligence databases.
were willing now, i assume to invest in syria and areas that are under bashar al—assad control, and to look away and pretend this hasn't happened. this is an abomination, notjust because other dictators will hear that message and it will inform their own decision—making, but it undermines the international order that is set up after world war ii, and that's what connects us to rush her. when president belinsky says, i hope you don't turn a blind eye to russia's behaviour, it falls in the same bucket and so i would classify this as a win for dictators around the world, unfortunately. given what you just said, did this group of countries making me sick take not only by welcoming bashar al—assad back but not attaching any preconditions's hundred percent yes. so to answer quickly, yes. on the first hand, making any kind of overture at this time is a major
bill barr. >> i think what this has shown is the source and there are two sources and drivers of this ugly episode and that is hillary clinton's campaign launched a smear campaign that was based on getting russian sources to spread false information about donald trump and pedal it to the press and to the government, the fbi. both the press and the fbi abandoned any semblence and the real story from the fbi perspective what an abomination this was, this so-called investigation. if it wasn't a witch hunt, it is a damn good immitation of one. >> ashley: we will bring in jake beckett, whoin jo joins us now. dive into brook's piece, it was
abandoned any semblence of professionalism and took up the cause with a vengeance. the real story is what an abomination this was, the so-called investigation. if it wasn't a witch hunt, it is good immitation of one. >> ainsley: smear campaign and hoax that went on year after year and chafrnl changed lives. we were talking about it, every network was talking about this. think about the narrative, how many hours did we spend talking about an issue that was made up and hoax and based on this steele dossier and warrant, fabricated and fiction. lindsey graham said the fbi ran every stop sign available and turned lives upside down and tried to deny trump the
reason to investigate, durham didn't. speaker mccarthy questioning schiff's suitability for public office. >> it raises the question about adam schiff. he told the american people he had proof and didn't know the whistleblower and what he put america through and openly lied, raises questions about his character, his standing inside of congress and if he should be in congress. >> lucas: bill barr called the fbi's investigation an abomination, guys. >> steve: lucas, you and i were conversing viit text, media outlets won big awards and some suggested they give them back. you remember something from history about somebody getting an award. >> lucas: in 1932, "new york times" received pulitzer prize
of time and money, the john durham investigation is an embarrassment and it should go down as one of the biggest abuses of power and waste of money in the department of justice's history. but there's no confirmation bias here. special counsel mueller did an investigation and convicted people. they pled guilty or they were convicted at trial. he established, as did the inspector general, that the initial investigation was opened justifiably. durham doesn't even quibble with that. he says it should have been preliminary, not a full investigation, which is for the majority of lay people outside of the department of justice a distinction without a difference. so it is a real abomination, and the fact that he wastes 300 pages on this, including so much about the steele dossier which the inspector general had also addressed, just goes to show how political this is. it is almost as if the republicans had their talking points written before the report
>> john: former attorney general bill barr is speaking out about the findings from special counsel john durham four-year-long investigation of the russia probe, and say the report proves the fbi never had a case against former president trump. john thune, we are all together. >> sandra: thanks for having me. i should say. >> john: former attorney general bill barr appointed john durham was on special report, and what he said, listen here. >> and both the press and the fbi abandoned any semblance of professionalism and took up the cause with a vengeance, and i think the real story here from the fbi's perspective is what an abomination this was, the so-called investigation. you know, if it wasn't a witch hunt, it's a damn good imitation of one. >> john: abomination is how he
me media, they are going out of their way to take this man down, sabotage him, torpedo him and it is mind boggling to me that law enforcement intelligence agencies are working on behalf of the democratic party and not the american people. you have urussia, russia, russi. in 2020, the hunter biden laptop cover-up. what will it be for 2024? i shudder at the thought. can the american people get the truth based on actual facts on the ground and candidates they have without meddling of the agencies? i hope so. i don't know what trust we could have, the rot is abomination.
going to get to this. >> bret: the key takeaways, there was no actual evidence to support launching crossfire hurricane. and also the hillary clinton campaign correctly or indirectly funding and driving much of the investigation. is that what is key to you? >> i think what this has shown is that the source and really two sources and drivers of this whole ugly episode. and that is hillary clinton's campaign who launched a smear campaign that was based on getting russian sources. russians sources to spread false information about donald trump and peddle it to the press and to the government, the fbi. and both the press and the fbi abandoned any semblance of professional i and took up the cause with a i have general's. and i think the real story here from the fbi's perspective is what an abomination this was.
