CNN anchor Jake Tapper claimed Monday that Special Counsel John Durham’s report on the FBI’s investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign is “devastating” to the organization and even exonerates Trump “to a degree.”
“One of the things they were supposed to do was to tell us a lot about what the intelligence community was doing,” Perez said. “It turns out they didn’t find very much there in the intelligence community, and certainly not to support the suspicions that they had that there was a cabal of people from the FBI and the intelligence community who were out to get Donald Trump. That appears to have fallen flat as part of this investigation.
Tapper did not go into detail surrounding why he considered the Durham report to be “devastating,” however, at one point, he paraphrased part of it, saying that Durham “is basically saying these are not criminal allegations, but he’s saying these were unprofessional and failed to meet the standards of the Justice Department and the FBI.”
Tapper added later: “It is possible that the FBI had legitimate cause for concern and it is also possible that some individuals in the FBI got ahead over their skis and were not as professional as they should have been.”CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig, who had a similar reaction to how Durham’s report said that the FBI shouldn’t have launched the Trump-Russia probe.
“There’s no surprise in that conclusion. It was really sort of a foregone conclusion from the start,” Honig said, pointing to the circumstances of Durham’s appointment, including Trump’sThat report, Honig said, “found that the FBI made several missteps—and Durham seizes on some of these as well—however, there was ample ground to open an investigation. And right away, John Durhamon Durham’s report, reiterating that it has “already implemented dozens of corrective actions.
“Had those reforms been in place in 2016,” it added, “the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented.”
