Department of Justice Special Counsel John Durham’s long-awaited report concludes that the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane investigators did not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations contained in the [Steele Dossier] reporting” in part because senior FBI officials displayed a “serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received” from a source linked to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The bureau also failed to confirm the dossier core allegation because its author was unable “to produce corroboration for any of the reported allegations, even after being offered $1 million or more by the FBI for such corroboration.”
