<p>Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) doubled down on Tuesday, calling the just-concluded <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/durham-report-makes-sobering-findings-about-fbis-handling-of-trump-russia-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Durham investigation</a> &#8220;flawed from the start&#8221; and claiming that it had only begun on the political whim of former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Schiff made his assessment during an appearance on MSNBC, telling anchor Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell that special counsel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-dissects-durhams-report-absolute-madness-doj-needs-to-put-some-heads-on-pikes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Durham&#8217;s report</a> had not led to any indictments — much less convictions – which he said was proof that the four years of investigation had netted nothing.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Durham investigation was flawed from the start.</p>
<p>It began for a political purpose &#8211; to satisfy Trump. It resulted in two spectacular failures at trial. And ended with nothing to show for four years of effort.</p>
<p>Bottom line: FBI had a good reason to investigate &#8211; Durham didn’t. <a href="https://t.co/kK8sBddGVf">pic.twitter.com/kK8sBddGVf</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/1658576613657780224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 16, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>O&#8217;Donnell set <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flashback-schiff-claimed-damning-evidence-of-trump-russia-collusion-it-was-democrat-hoax-durham-report-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schiff</a> up with his initial question, saying that the Durham investigation had ended &#8220;with a new report about nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schiff readily agreed, saying, &#8220;This is an investigation that started in a flawed manner, it was conducted in a flawed manner, and its conclusion is a flawed conclusion. It began in a flawed way because this was the result of Donald Trump badgering Bill Barr to investigate the investigators.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schiff went on to say that the only reason Durham was even brought in to investigate was Trump&#8217;s insistence that he was the focus of a political &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221; And despite Durham&#8217;s findings indicating a number of departures from proper procedure on behalf of the FBI – and even the bureau&#8217;s own subsequent admission that mistakes had been made with regard to Crossfire Hurricane&#8217;s inception — Schiff insisted that the Mueller investigation had been rooted in a real crime and was therefore begun with just cause.</p>
<p>The &#8220;bottom line,&#8221; according to Schiff, was that the FBI &#8220;had a good reason to investigate Trump&#8221; whereas &#8220;Durham did not&#8221; have a good reason to investigate the FBI.</p>

<p>Schiff did not go into detail regarding what that &#8220;good reason&#8221; was — and O&#8217;Donnell did not press him on the matter. O&#8217;Donnell also did not bring up the numerous occasions when Schiff had claimed to have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-adam-schiff-knew-russiagate-would-go-nowhere-pursued-trump-russia-connection-anyway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">direct evidence</a> that Trump had colluded with Russia – evidence that Mueller did not find during the course of his investigation, and evidence that Schiff has yet to reveal publicly.</p>
