In case you missed it, among the documents recently declassified by President Trump and released by Sen Lindsey Graham is the transcript of testimony given by former Justice Department official Dana J. Boente.
That transcript proves that the FBI was well aware of the fact that there was no collusion but instead of shutting down the investigation, they expanded it way beyond what could be considered justified.
In Boente’s testimony, he said that he was the Deputy Attorney General in charge of the fake Russian collusion hoax. Boente said his involvement ended in about April of 2017 and there was no evidence of collusion.
Robert Mueller and his angry little Democrats investigated the hoax for 22 months and spent $40 million dollars to drag out the faux investigation in hopes of overthrowing President Trump.
“I felt that it was important to know something about it,” said Mr. Boente, according to a transcript. “I don’t know if and when I was told that. I think — I recall being told at some point, maybe not February, between February and April, because thankfully my involvement ended in April, that there was no evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign.”
The FBI not only didn’t shut down the probe, they expanded it.
During this time, the FBI also won a judge’s approval for continued wiretapping of campaign volunteer Carter Page. The FBI’s affidavit was based almost exclusively on evidence provided by a Democratic Party-financed dossier prepared by ex-British spy Christopher Steele and sourced to the Kremlin.
The FBI learned in January that Mr. Steele’s main source, Russian-born Igor Danchenko, had told agents his information was unconfirmed hearsay. But the FBI continued to rely on the dossier.
In a statement, Graham said:
I believe that Crossfire Hurricane was one of the most incompetent and corrupt investigations in the history of the FBI and DOJ.”
Why didn’t the FBI and Justice drop a bogus investigation into a sitting president of the United States? Graham said: “The only logical explanation is that the investigators wanted an outcome because of their bias.”
