We touched on this in another post on the FBI admitting its “missteps” in handling Crossfire Hurricane, but we’d like to revisit it because it brings Hillary Clinton directly into the conversation. The Durham Report essentially states that everyone knew the allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia were bogus but spent years “investigating” it anyway.
As we reported back in May 2022, the trial of Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman revealed FBI Agent Curtis Heide was being investigated for withholding information. Heide worked with the lead agent on the Alfa Bank case and was also the case agent on the George Papadopoulos case. Sussman was the one who made up the whole story about Donald Trump having a secret back-channel to Alfa Bank, a Russian bank. Clinton then tweeted out the press release which she knew was 100 perfect fake.
Heide messaged on Sept. 22, 2016, that the FBI was “leaning toward this being a false server.” By Halloween, Clinton was spreading around a press release about a “new report” exposing “Trump’s Secret Line of Communication to Russia.”
Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) ~ Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.
According to the Durham Report, the FBI agents who were fed the fake Russian bank story by Sussman knew it was a lie, but they were ordered to open a full case into it anyway:
Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ BREAKING: According to the Durham Report, the FBI agents who received the false Trump/Alpha Bank story from Michael Sussman determined they were lies but it was "FBI leadership" that ordered them to open a full case into it anyway.
The false claim that Trump was connected to a Russian bank were also given to the media with full coordination between Hillary Clinton's campaign, Fusion GPS, Sussman and Marc Elias.

Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ I would very much like to hear from @NatashaBertrand if she still thinks the Trump/Alpha Bank story is “occam’s razor.”
