当地时间5月15日,针对美国前总统特朗普“通俄门”的最终调查报告出炉,美国特别检察官约翰·达勒姆发布报告称,联邦调查局(FBI)在发起针对特朗普2016年竞选团队与俄罗斯关系的调查时没有“证据基础”。
据《纽约时报》报道,达勒姆在新发布的长达306页的最新报告中得出结论,称美国情报和执法部门对特朗普2016年竞选团队与俄罗斯关系的调查存在“严重缺陷”,没有“证据基础”,并且过于依赖特朗普政治对手提供的线索来推动调查。
早在2016年美国大选之前,FBI从一名澳大利亚外交官那里得到线索,对特朗普与俄罗斯的关系展开了全面反间谍调查。当时这名外交官透露,特朗普的竞选助手乔治·帕帕佐普洛斯,曾吹嘘俄罗斯人已经获得并准备发布有关特朗普的民主党对手、前国务卿希拉里·克林顿竞选活动的破坏性信息。
达勒姆在报告中写道:“FBI忽视或故意忽略了不支持特朗普与俄罗斯有关系的材料信息,”“同样,FBI检查部的报告称,调查人员一再忽视与特朗普通俄理论相悖的证据...似乎存在...一种恶意假设的模式。”
按照达勒姆报告所说,FBI在“通俄门”调查中做到了“大胆假设,大胆求证”,却在其他案件调查中存在“双标”。达勒姆批评说,FBI将“通俄门”与其他政治敏感调查案件区别对待,后者包括几起涉及特朗普的民主党竞争对手希拉里·克林顿的调查。
特朗普称达勒姆“为这份报告花了很长时间,是一位非常彻底的调查员。就结果来说是明确的,就正义而言绝对是一场灾难。”
特朗普说:“我,更重要的是当时的美国公众,一直是这场由民主党发起的长期叛国骗局的受害者。”“他们所做的事对国家安全的影响非常严重,让我们的国家渡过难关时必须付出沉重的代价。”

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: The long-awaited report by special counsel John Durham about the FBI's probe into the 2016 Trump campaign and its alleged ties to Russia was released publicly today.
Durham was appointed by former Trump Attorney General William Barr to look into what many on the right saw as a politically motivated investigation.
While Durham's report offers no significant new evidence, it is deeply critical of the FBI.
Durham called their handling of parts of the investigation seriously deficient and wrote that investigators were too credible towards partisan actors, writing: "Senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received." Washington Post reporter Devlin Barrett has been following all this, and he joins me now.
Devlin, thank you so much for being here.
This is the culmination of four years of work by John Durham. What else does this report say? DEVLIN BARRETT, The Washington Post: The report basically goes through all the steps taken in the investigation known as Crossfire Hurricane and faults the FBI again and again for how they did it.
But it also doesn't particularly tell us much more than we already knew. And, frankly, many of these criticisms have been said before, years before, by others who looked at this.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So what Durham seems to be arguing is that the FBI received a lot of information about the Trump campaign back in 2016, and that the FBI should have treated that information as more suspect than they did? Is that is that the gist here? DEVLIN BARRETT: Basically.
What they're basically saying in this report is, the FBI actually didn't have a lot in the -- in terms of allegations to go on, and didn't do enough careful analysis and work to try to stand up the kinds of allegations it was getting.
And, basically, their argument is, the FBI rushed forward to investigate Trump, when, if you look at some past Clinton cases, the FBI was more cautious. But the truth is, the FBI ultimately investigated both Trump and Clinton, so I don't know how powerful that criticism is.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So did Durham say that there was no reason that the FBI should have been looking at the Trump -- Trump campaign? DEVLIN BARRETT: The report, interestingly, actually says it makes sense for the FBI to have examined this initial tip they got from an Australian diplomat, which, frankly, is in some ways a walk-back from other suggestions Durham has made in the past.
I think the report is actually fairly cautious and not particularly critical on what was supposed to be his biggest criticism, which is that the case never should have been opened at all. But that's not actually what the report ends up saying.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Well, former President Trump, as I'm sure you have seen on his Web site TRUTH Social, said: "Durham concludes the FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia probe! In other words, the American public was scammed." Again, to the point you're making, that's not what this report is indicating.
DEVLIN BARRETT: No.
And, in fact, as I read the Durham report, what he's basically arguing is, the FBI should have opened a preliminary report, as -- preliminary investigation, as opposed to a full investigation.
That's a fine distinction. But I think only lawyers and agents care about that level of granular detail.
And I don't think, in the end, it matters that much.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Who does Durham specifically point his critical judgment at? Is it senior levels of the FBI and the DOJ or more rank-and-file members? DEVLIN BARRETT: It's definitely the senior level that he is most critical of.
And there's particular agents who oversaw these cases that have been criticized in the past.
And he is even more critical of them, arguing that they essentially have a confirmation bias, that they were naturally suspect of Trump, and that colored their thinking. That is something that, frankly, those officials have denied and said, look, we, as the FBI, had an obligation to investigate these allegations.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: As you mentioned before, the inspector general of the Department of Justice issued a report several years ago that covered a lot of this material.
And, then, the FBI and the DOJ had to respond to that. Have they, FBI or DOJ, responded to this revelation today? DEVLIN BARRETT: They have, but their point is that they have already instituted a significant number of changes to policies and practices where there were things that were found to be wrong and shouldn't have happened.
And, frankly, most of the people who made those decisions are long gone from the FBI.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Devlin Barrett of The Washington Post, thank you so much for being here.
DEVLIN BARRETT: Thanks for having me.
针对最终调查报告,特朗普当天在社交媒体上表示对调查结果满意,称达勒姆的报告发现了“本世纪的罪行”,并写起了“小作文”:“哇!经过广泛调查,特别检察官达勒姆得出结论,FBI不应启动特朗普‘通俄门’调查!”“换句话说,美国公众被骗了,正如目前他们仍在被那些不想看到美国伟大的人所骗一样!”
The Durham Report spells out in great detail the Democrat Hoax that was perpetrated upon me and the American people. This is 2020 Presidential Election Fraud, just like “stuffing” the ballot boxes, only more so. This totally illegal act had a huge impact on the Election. With an honest Media, we are looking at the Crime of the Century!
尽管该报告并没有提供新的披露,但巩固了共和党长期以来的政治叙事。福克斯新闻网称,在达勒姆报告公布后,共和党内部群情激愤,甚至声称要“撕碎FBI”。共和党众议员拜伦·唐纳兹在推特上表示,这表明“共和党人需要团结起来支持特朗普”。
佛罗里达州州长德桑蒂斯称:“达勒姆报告证实了我们已经知道的事情:民主党将联邦司法机构武器化,制造了虚假的阴谋论。它提醒我们需要清理这些机构,它们从未对这种令人震惊的滥用权力负责。”
The Durham Report confirmed what we already knew: weaponized federal agencies manufactured a false conspiracy theory about Trump-Russia collusion. It reminds us of the need to clean house at these agencies, as they've never been held accountable for this egregious abuse of power.
但美国有线电视新闻网认为,这份最终报告其实没有达到特朗普团队的期望值,因为他们一直想证明FBI的调查只不过是一场“政治迫害”。
