Hersh: FBI agents, along with Clinton team, tried to prevent Trump from winning in 2016

MOSCOW, June 1 – RIA Novosti. A number of senior FBI officials were suspected of collaborating with the Hillary Clinton team in a campaign to spread information about unconfirmed ties with Russia to prevent Donald Trump from winning the 2016 presidential election, an American journalist reported. Seymour Hershciting the source.

“I was told (among some subordinates – ed.) (Special Counsel John – ed.) that Durham had to go beyond his investigative powers at an early stage and that, due to the widespread belief that some, the FBI, in some cases, Clinton should win the fall election, with a constant stream of false claims. He’s openly allied with the Clinton campaign,” Hersh wrote on his blog.

The journalist added that he was told of the possibility of promotion up to and including key positions in the Justice Department if Clinton wins.

In May, Special Counsel Durham released a report that neither US law enforcement nor the intelligence community had any real evidence of Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election. The report’s author concluded that the FBI had no knowledge of anyone close to Trump being in contact with Russian intelligence services, and therefore the FBI should not launch a full investigation into links between the Trump campaign and Russia.
