Dear Readers:
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently released documents showing a conspiracy by the Obama administration changed intelligence assessments regarding Russia’s role in the 2016 election. This occurred in a secret meeting 8 Dec 2016, in which apparently President Obama directed high-level officials in the administration to revise the intel to show that Russia stole the election from Hillary Clinton; thus Trump was a Russian agent. This the intelligence agencies did by releasing a report 17 Jan 2017, which was the basis for the years-long accusation that Trump was illegitimately elected. The basis for that assessment rested partly on the “Steele Dossier” on Trump, manufactured by Mr. Steele and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
I thought it appropriate at this time to republish my summary of the Durham report that investigated the entire Steele Dossier episode. My version lays out the event in strict chronological order, instead of by category as Mr. Durham did. I believe this method provides a clearer understanding of hoe the scandal developed and how the FBI was derelict in its duties to uncover the facts in a timely manner. The attached pdf summarizing the Durham Report is 37 pages, well worth your while. The original was published exactly 2 years ago today; the enclosed file is identical except for a few minor grammar corrections.
Thanks for reading,
EDD
