Donald Trump took to his social media site on Monday night to lash out at the “cockroaches” in Washington D.C. following the release of special counsel John Durham’s report into the FBI’s investigation of alleged ties between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.
The report from Durham, who was appointed by Trump to delegitimize the Russia investigation, criticized the FBI and DOJ for missteps in the probe but revealed no new information or charges.
But, that did not stop Trump from claiming that the report revealed evidence of “treason” and lashed out at what he calls “cockroaches” in D.C.
“THEY ARE SCUM, LIKE COCKROACHES ALL OVER WASHINGTON, D.C.,” Trump wrote. “Congratulations to John Durham on a Report that is being praised for its quality, importance, and professionalism, by friend and foe alike!”
Trump also claims the report detailed the “crime of the century” and fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
“The Durham Report spells out in great detail the Democrat Hoax that was perpetrated upon me and the American people,” Trump wrote. “This is 2020 Presidential Election Fraud, just like “stuffing” the ballot boxes, only more so. This totally illegal act had a huge impact on the Election. With an honest Media, we are looking at the Crime of the Century!”
Other than being critical of the FBI for using “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence,” to launch the probe into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties with Russia, the Durham report revealed nothing new and recommended no new charges.
Over the three year course of the investigation Durham only managed to secure one conviction: the guilty plea of a low-level FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, who avoided jail after admitting to doctoring an email about a surveillance warrant, CNN reported.
