FBI Ignored Alleged Clinton Campaign Election Meddling Plan After CIA Briefed Obama And Biden, Durham Report Says
[Daily Caller] The FBI didn’t open any inquiry into an alleged Hillary Clinton campaign election interference plan even after the CIA director briefed then-president Barack Obama and other senior administration officials, Special Counsel John Durham’s report noted.

The FBI received Russian intelligence analysis in July 2016 alleging that Clinton’s campaign cooked up a scheme to divert attention away from "her use of a private email server," the Durham report stated.

The alleged scheme, dubbed the "Clinton Plan," showed that the Clinton campaign "had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal" against Trump "by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee," the Durham report reads.

The intelligence community didn’t know the accuracy of the Russian intelligence, but the findings were notable enough for then-CIA Director John Brennan to inform the Obama administration "within days" of learning about it.

Brennan briefed President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey about the Clinton campaign’s plan, the Durham report says.

The findings also prompted the CIA to send "a formal written referral memorandum" to Comey and "the Deputy Assistant Director of the FBl’s Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok, for their consideration and action."

#2 I would have thought that N'Obama would have been more than happy to mess with the Clintons since they don't get along too well.

#3 There's no honor among thieves, but when the score is big enough, they have been known to put their differences on hold...

#4 I am pretty old, but I've never seen such blatant corruption in my life.

But I'm even more upset that an apparently amoral, ignorant, gullible voter bloc continues to put up with this.
