In an interview with Sputnik, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson commented on the recently released Durham report, correctly noting that “to basically destroy Russia was one of the objectives [of the FBI fabrications]. And because Trump was seen as someone who was not going to go along with those objectives, they had to destroy him, or try to destroy him.” Johnson added: “The FBI is totally corrupt. It’s a totally politicized organization. It really has completely discredited itself. This report confirms that very top officials at the FBI were nothing but liars, liars and engaged in a coup to try to overthrow a democratically-elected president. … Trump represented a threat to the deep state policies that wanted to expand NATO, to provoke conflicts around the world.”
