At least some members of the FBI know they messed up royally.
“Our findings were sobering. I can tell you, having spent 40 years-plus as a federal prosecutor, they were particularly sobering to me,” Durham said.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) asked why Durham’s findings were “sobering.”
“Let me give you some real-life views,” Durham said. “I have had any number of FBI agents who I’ve worked with over the years — some of them are retired, some of them are still in place — who have come to me and apologized for the manner in which that investigation was undertaken.”
Durham says the majority of FBI agents are “decent human beings.”
“There were investigative activities undertaken or not undertaken here which raise real concerns about whether or not the law was followed, the policies in place at the FBI were followed,” Durham said.
In a statement responding to Durham’s report, the FBI said it “already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which have now been in place for some time.” The bureau also said Durham’s report “reinforces the importance of ensuring the FBI continues to do its work with the rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the American people deserve and rightly expect.”
