<p>A senior <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> official stunned GOP members of Congress on Tuesday upon testifying that she has not read or even been briefed on special counsel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-durham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Durham</a>&#8216;s report.</p>
<p>Jill Murphy, the FBI&#8217;s deputy assistant director of counterintelligence, said during a hearing that she has not &#8220;had time&#8221; to read the report that was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-john-durhams-years-long-investigation-into-trump-russia-collusion-investigators-is-over" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released early last week</a>, though she intends to get to it.</p>
<p>The report, which came at the conclusion of a years-long inquiry, heavily criticized the FBI probe into alleged links between <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s 2016 campaign and Russia.</p>
<p>Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, <a href="https://twitter.com/RepPfluger/status/1661125710981857281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said he was &#8220;speechless&#8221;</a> upon hearing that Murphy had not read the report.</p>

<p>“I would highly recommend reading that because we spent four years discussing that — there was uncorroborated evidence. The Durham report specifically outlines the outcome of that. It’s very disappointing to hear this,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Although the hearing was focused on <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/tomorrow-at-2pm-pfluger-to-hold-subcommittee-hearing-on-combating-ccp-aggression-with-dhs-fbi-witnesses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese Communist Party &#8220;aggression,&#8221;</a> other members of the subcommittee took the opportunity to talk about Durham&#8217;s report.</p>
<p>Under <a href="https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1661102253778804743?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questioning by Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC)</a>, Murphy conceded that she had not even been briefed on Durham&#8217;s report.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/RepDanBishop?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepDanBishop</a>: &quot;The Durham Report &quot;has been out since the 12th of this month&#8230;Mr. Goldman&#39;s obviously been briefed on it&#8230;! Why is that not a matter of such import that you would want urgently to understand what the special counsel concluded&#8230;?</p>

<p>Bishop said the report was &#8220;devastating&#8221; to the FBI and should be of &#8220;grave concern&#8221; to Murphy in particular because of her role.</p>

<p>&#8220;Sir, if you&#8217;d like a brief on the Durham report from the Counterintelligence Division, I&#8217;m happy to take that back,&#8221; Murphy said upon being pressed about why she has not urgently dug into the special counsel&#8217;s findings.</p>
<p>“Wow, that sounds almost contemptuous,” Bishop shot back, adding later: &#8220;I’m just without words, that the FBI is unconcerned.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who offered a <a href="https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1661099791051268108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">negative critique</a> of the Durham inquiry, took aim at his Republican colleagues for being heavily critical of the FBI and even talking about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/matt-gaetz-announces-resolution-dedicated-to-stopping-fbi-hq-funds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defunding the agency</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem they have is that the FBI is doing its job in investigating their dear leader Donald Trump,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1661100628725096449" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldman said</a>. &#8220;And if you can undermine the investigator, if you can undermine independent journalists doing investigative reporting, then you can undermine our entire system of democracy.&#8221;</p>
