Fully 294 pages into the 316-page #Durham review and then it just concedes that the predication of Cross Fire Hurricane was validly predicated because of the low standard required, as was independently confirmed by OIG, and that it could have been opened under any of several different justifications ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Pwnallthethings “...would support such an approach.” It didn't feel like it was going there. It didn't want to go there. But it always had to.

@Pwnallthethings @mythserene I don’t get that part. “We should have used less aggressive surveillance because the stuff we used didn’t yield anything.” That’s what it reads like to me. It’s not like they knew from the get-go they wouldn’t get anything.

Also I still do not understand what 1st Amendment issue he claims is at stake. Freedom of speech? Of the press? Religion? Assembly? An investigation impinges on none of those things, whether full or preliminary. 🤷‍♀️
