First, let me set the stage for new readers. No-one is more cynical of DC operations and manipulations than me. I do not sell nor promote ‘hope porn’, and I am not confident that anything is close to being revealed. Indeed, given the scale and scope of what took place in the last eight years, yes eight years; I have expressed doubts that anyone in government would ever actually expose it.
That said, in addition to my own cynicism I have been deep in this “spygate” or “Russiagate” rabbit hole; factually and physically inside the DC network; long enough to see the map of an investigative trail bringing up the rear.
During one great conversation a lawyer said to me: “All of this you know; all of this you have evidence for; but we don’t have the badges”. Thus began my 2020 effort, ultimately a successful effort, to drag the badges into the hole. That’s the background for an update with new information:
A very important article was written yesterday in the New Yorker [SEE HERE]. While the topic of the article spotlights the ridiculous conspiracy theory surrounding Alfa bank, and the insufferable nonsense about Trump Tower servers having contact -electronic touch signals- with servers from the Russian banking organization, there are aspects to the story that show where the Durham probe has been forced to travel.
Within the article –which everyone should read– some names are very important. The article is framed around defending the New Yorker’s previous reporting on the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory, so the intent of the article is defensive. However, the events being described in the article, and more importantly the people being outlined in the article, are accurate. Especially Daniel Jones and his lawyer William Taylor; and the connection of both to Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson.
According to the article there are two parallel efforts underway to untangle the background of how the false Alfa Bank story was originated. One effort is a set of civil lawsuits by the owners of Alfa bank against those who created the fraudulent story that flowed through Fusion GPS, into Chris Steele’s dossier, into the FBI, and ultimately into the Buzzfeed reporting therein. The owners of the bank are taking all of these entities into court and demanding discovery of sources who framed/created the false impression.
The second outlined effort is a set of subpoenas for some of the same names to appear before a grand jury being run by the John Durham probe. The witnesses are lawyered-up and attempting to avoid the grand jury subpoenas.
Part of the New Yorker story is constructed around wondering if the Alfa Bank team is working with the Durham team. That is a false narrative created for political deflection only. However, the article outlines factual evidence of the Durham grand jury; and by knowing what issues are being explored we can see -in advance- where this trail is going.
Good News Pause: John Durham has a grand jury impaneled and is issuing subpoenas.
Instead of me going through the Alfa Bank story, let me just take you though a process of where the Alfa Bank story ends up. That’s where Durham/Aldenberg will ultimately be; and for transparency I have spoken with William Aldenberg about their destination.
Note in the New Yorker piece the subjects of the subpoenas and lawsuits are worried about being forced to identify the anonymous sources known as “Max” and “Tea Leaves”.
Additionally the group describes their worry about identifying how the electronic signals between the servers were originally discovered.
Let me say up front that is where this story connects to the scandal of intelligence community “contractor” access to the NSA database.
The SIGINT or signals intelligence, used to frame the false Alfa Bank story, appears to have come from entities with access to the NSA database who were doing work to assist the overall Trump-Russia narrative construction. Those unlawfully obtained findings were manipulated and unlawfully extracted; then passed along to computer scientists who had the role to provide technical support for the media to use in selling a false story.
If this sounds to you like the subject matter expertise and skill of Crowdstrike and Fusion-GPS you would not be missing the target.
[…] The Alfa Bank case has also become an object of interest for federal agents working for John Durham, the prosecutor appointed by Barr. Durham’s agents have summoned some of the same computer scientists to testify before a grand jury, and are asking for the same material that Alfa Bank is seeking. (They’ve asked Jones, the investigator, to testify as well.) Some agents told scientists that they were exploring a potential criminal charge—presumably against Max and Tea Leaves—for giving false information to the government. A number of those called to testify are seeking to quash the subpoenas, and it’s not apparent that anyone has testified so far.
There is no clear evidence that the Justice Department and Alfa Bank are working together, but some people involved in the case noted a striking alignment of purpose. “There’s a heck of a lot of mutual interest,” William Taylor, an attorney for [Dan] Jones, told me. (more)
Notice here that William Taylor in 2020 is representing Dan Jones. And Dan Jones is outlined as the central player in the Alfa Bank story construction; as pushed to media.
William Taylor was/is also the lawyer for Fusion-GPS, as noted in a 2017 Politico article: “Fusion lawyers William Taylor and Josh Levy wrote as they renewed their request for a temporary restraining order from U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan.”
Now, let me explain what this is all about…. and where this is going.
When President Trump won the November 2016 election all of those participants involved in the use of government offices and agencies for corrupt political intent had a real problem. Immediately, a lot of strategic planning took place by a lot of desperate people.
One of the key needs of the corrupt intelligence apparatus was to find a way to stop the incoming administration from exposing their effort; that’s where the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) comes in.
Senator Dianne Feinstein was vice-chair of the SSCI in 2016. Feinstein’s chief of staff was Dan Jones. The post-election plan to protect the intel community would involve using the SSCI institution to cover for prior Obama-era operations.
Senator Feinstein was not a good fit for that role, so Feinstein abdicated her position in advance of the next congress.
In January 2017 Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chair and Dan Jones left the SSCI to continue the operation as a freelance operative. Warner was put into place to carry out the strategic objectives needed to protect the DOJ, NSD, CIA, FBI and ODNI operations against Donald Trump who was now the incoming president-elect.
Keep in mind with control of the SSCI the group inside the legislative branch could control who ran what intelligence agency because they held the power of confirmation; and they could control who would rise to be inspector general within the intelligence community, a position needed if a whistle-blower was to surface.
Additionally, the SSCI would control intelligence information and assist the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel after appointment. The SSCI could work as a sword and a shield as needed. Which is exactly what happened.
That background, the motive of the SSCI, explains every point of conflict and corruption we have seen from the SSCI toward the White House in the past four years.
Meanwhile Dan Jones went freelance and was given $50 million to fund an investigative outfit called the “Penn Quarter Group” and create a new organization called the Democracy Integrity Project.
“Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from “7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California.” (link)
Jones used both groups to continue selling and pushing the Trump-Russia narrative. Also it was important for those at risk to find an alternate route to keep financing their defense without using Clinton’s legal team within Perkins Coie.
Essentially, in 2017 Dan Jones, through his Penn Quarter Group, took over funding for Fusion-GPS and Glenn Simpson and kept paying Christopher Steele. The payments to these entities and Steele always looked more like a pay-off to keep their mouths shut. Jones was essentially the bag-man for continued Trump-Russia operations outside government.
Jones’s second job was to keep pushing the Trump-Russia narrative in the media:
(RCP Investigations) 2019 […] The operation’s nerve center is a Washington-based nonprofit called The Democracy Integrity Project, or TDIP. Among other activities, it pumps out daily “research” briefings to prominent Washington journalists, as well as congressional staffers, to keep the Russia “collusion” narrative alive.
TDIP is led by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and top staffer to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It employs the key opposition-research figures behind the salacious and unverified dossier: Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Its financial backers include the actor/director Rob Reiner and billionaire activist George Soros.
The project’s work has been largely shrouded in mystery. But a months-long examination by RealClearInvestigations, drawn from documents and more than a dozen interviews, found that the organization is running an elaborate media-influence operation that includes driving and shaping daily coverage of the Russia collusion theory, as well as pushing stories about Trump in the national media that attempt to tie the president or his associates to the Kremlin. (Keep Reading)
While Senator Mark Warner -now a gang of eight member- took control over the SSCI, and by extension the aggregate intelligence apparatus controlled by legislative oversight, Dan Jones worked outside government on the same objectives. Warner was controlling efforts inside the legislative branch that impeded and undermined the executive; and Dan Jones was controlling efforts outside government to weaponize media and attack the executive.
We see the synergy between Senator Warner and Dan Jones in the text messages with their mutual ally Adam Waldman (Chris Steele’s lawyer/handler). Senator Warner was texting with Adam Waldman about setting up a meeting with Chris Steele. Waldman is a lobbyist/lawyer with a $40,000 monthly retainer to represent the U.S. interests of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska; Waldman was also Chris Steele’s lawyer/handler.
Senator Mark Warner was trying to set up a covert meeting. In the text messages Adam Waldman is telling Senator Warner that Chris Steele will not meet with him without a written letter (request) from the Senate Intelligence Committee. Steele was always the wild-card and needed to be kept under tight controls.
Senator Warner didn’t want the Republican members to know about the meeting. Chris Steele knew this was a partisan political set-up; knew his own risk exposure from the 2016 operation; and was refusing to meet unilaterally with Senator Warner. Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman, a close vacationing friend with Warner, was playing the go-between:
This is why I have said since 2018 that Chris Steele needs to be granted immunity in exchange for his testimony. Steele is the fulcrum of the 2016/2017 operation; and it was reported earlier that Steele met with Durham investigators.
It seems obvious that Fusion-GPS used Nellie Ohr to send information to Chris Steele who then assembled the oppo-research into his dossier. Steele then acts as a laundry for the Fusion intel and transmits it to the FBI for use. The FBI use the Steele dossier to get the FISA useful for surveillance against the Trump campaign and administration. All of that is transparently obvious now.
Dan Jones being subpoenaed by John Durham is a big deal. Durham might be following the Alfa-bank breadcrumbs, but we already know where that leads…. into the exploitation of the NSA database, and then ultimately into the Senate Intel Committee.
Not defending the delay of the Durham probe to be public with its findings; but if they are willing to go all the way to the SSCI that could explain the reason for delay.
You might be wondering how we can know all of these connections and yet it is taking Durham’s team a long time to get through this rabbit hole. Here’s a few things I can tell you from my personal experience and interaction with them:
(1) many of you have been in this rabbit hole with me longer than Durham’s team has; (2) these investigators take a long time to connect dots because they have to keep asking for permission, we don’t; (3) this is the biggest political scandal in U.S. history; and (4) the badges only recently (July) became aware of the SSCI scope.
All we can hope for are leaks. Release the report, without releasing it. Plausible deniability.
President Trump is live on Rush’s show taking questions from thousands of emails sent in. Besides here, Rush is the only radio personality that really supports President Trump.
Hannity does, Levin does, Shapiro does
Boy Shapiro needs to be less in love with his – admittedly existent but not as brilliant as he thinks – intelligence and grow a pair. Michelle/Michael has more hair than him.
I say that with parental affection for Ben – your “enfant terrible” days are over, be a man, go all in.
I was thinking the same thing yesterday after hearing another of the endless supply of starry-eyed Shapiro worshipers call him for advice on some question about life, or politics or education; and wanting his “wisdom” as if he were a guru from Tibet. Shapiro needs to work on a Indian accent to make himself seem like a sage above his years.
I cannot forgive that little turd for his defection early on. He seems most interested in appealing to the Never Trumpers as an “independent thinker and Trump skeptic” .
And that voice drives me up the wall…. can’t do it.
As does Howie Carr and Jeff Kuhner in the Boston area.
Shapiro isn’t all in on Trump. I don’t think that Shapiro has any positive opinions on Trump on a personal level. He find Trump too abrasive. It’s the Never-Trump in him. Just like all the other “conservative Republicans”, Shapiro probably doesn’t see that Trump is mainly just fighting back in kind. Wusses like Romney and McCain could never win because they were too “nice”. Trump doesn’t take and crap from anyone, and Shapiro hates that about Trump.
willeyeye,
Bullshirt! That is an EXCUSE that gets repeated over and over, until it is the lie that becomes accepted.
Nevertrumpers, and more broadly Republicons are not “NICE”.
THEY are COMPLICIT. Try primarying an incumbent Republicon hack, and see how “nice” they aren’t.
Since you named them, let’s LOOK at what the RNC gave us, to counter Obama. McStain, Ryan/Romney.
Knowing what we know about those 3 now, how can anyone possibly continue to excuse the RNC, and deny their open complicity in the 8 years of Obama, and in countenancing and fostering the 4 year coup attempt against PDJT?
Little Ben has been a never Trumper from day one and continues to be.
Ben thinks that if Quid Pro Joe is elected; the Republicans can recover in the next election cycle. He couldn’t be more wrong! They will rig the system so that no R will be elected again. We will never see Obamagate evidence come to light. Barky’s cronies at Just-Us and CYA will bury it so deep Sherlock couldn’t find it.
Andrew Willkow is my go to guy on Sirrus 125 12-3 ET Then Sean 3-6 Then The Great One 6-9 Mon-Fri
Dan Bongino is a YUGE Trump supporter!
Thank You!
Not buying that Shapiro does.
Benn is not that big of a supporter. To me he is a never Trumper who occasional with praise Trump…but real support…nope.
Dan Bongino supports the president.
Rush asked POTUS about Axios report that Durham report will not occur before election. Trump said he hadn’t heard this
Don’t say un-truths and people will trust you more. Gorka; Levin; Janet Horn…and more…all support the President.
AFTER reading Sundance’s well put together dissertation including the links, I have come to the conclusion that
1) Christopher Steele NEEDS to be granted immunity,
2) THE ENTIRE SCCI be INTERVIEWED including DIANE FEINSTEIN,
3) Jones needs to served with a subpoena and asked question and finally,
4) AG Barr/SP Durham DO NOT RIGHT A REPORT but put these nefarious individuals on trial or tribunal…WHICH INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS ON THE SCCI!!!
President Trump has always said: “This CANNOT happen to another president.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/bill-barr-gives-china-joe-kiss-ag-tells-gop-leaders-doj-investigation-obamagate-scandal-wont-released-election/
I am not feeling good about ever getting to the bottom of all this corruption. It is in plain sight and yet the DOJ continues to push it past the election allowing the criminals to try to steal the election and cover everything up.
How does this man think he can continue with this after the election if they manage to steal it. That’s just it, he is hoping for that possibility. He is openly allowing for the destruction of our Republic when he has the responsibility to stop it as he swore to do when he took office. He is completely complicit in the corruption. He obviously thinks we are either stupid or more likely, he knows we can do nothing about it. He may be right. Short of force, we not have many options. I think this man is a traitor. I hope and pray I am proved wrong.
I am in Atlanta and the level of stupidity here is breathtaking. So much Trump Derangement Syndrome. Not enough people have cared to seek the truth. Went into Costco and the greeter was opening stating how dumb Trump was and laughing as customers came in. At work I am surrounded by blacks who hate him for no reason they can give me and are still voting for the democrats. They tell me I just don’t understand their “culture”. There right, I don’t. I don’t understand why they are so self destructive. Enough!
I thought things were getting better with covid but my trip to the grocery store yesterday proved me wrong. Mask wearing was going down last week, with about half the people in the store wearing masks. This week the store was full of people and everyone but me and one guy was wearing a mask. Ridiculous!
I hope the rest of America is not this bad. I keep talking and trying to change minds. I have successfully educated my daughter’s boyfriend who thought Socialism was just fine. He is now registered to vote and voting for President Trump.
My husband has been speaking to the Latino community here for years . He has been invited to speak at the Mexican Consulate here every year for the past eight years or so. He is an immigrant from Mexico, a very good communicator, and very, very pro Trump. He had been meet with disdain from the majority of the community until this year. Things have changed tremendously, and the majority of the community is now approving of President Trump. Last couple of talks at the consulate were volatile and at one meeting they cut off his mic. The next meeting he took his own mic. No invitation since then, Ha ha ha.
If you hadn’t mentioned Atlanta I would have thought you were speaking about my environment here in the Silicon Valley in CA. As they say I hear you and I feel for you. At this point I just don’t speak to anybody because I already have high blood pressure.
Please cease the novel-length comments… comment length guideline was posted 2mths ago. If u can’t state it in 1 paragraph… bloviating not welcome… grazie
I thought it was really worth reading, well written and not especially long. I’d like to see more comments like jmbuck’s and fewer like the one you just wrote here. Make that zero like the one you just wrote here.
The way you’re trying to shame somebody for writing an interesting, informative comment is reprehensible and pathetic. How screwed up do you have to be to get off on playing hall monitor in the comments section. Ugh.
A thousand likes DV Meca!
And a thousand more likes!
Wait Clive, you are one of the ones who liked JMBucks’s long article and then liked Lavender Blue’s insult about the article. How can I make a poll ? 🙂
Well said DV!?
I dunno; I liked his comment regardless of length and since I am from the Atlanta area, it was quite interesting to me. JMBuck broke eveything into easily read paragraphs. Maybe just pass over the comments you don’t like or feel are “bloviating”. I have a feeling you didn’t actually read the post tho . . .
The reply was not novel length. Never to late to take a speed reading course. Also, unless someone is forcing you to read it, why not just skip the long ones? Some say longer is better though.
If you don’t care for them, just scroll on down.
A novel: circa 60,000 to 100,000 words.
The prior comment: 454 words.
The comment you denigrated was not “bloviating”; it was informative and well written. Your condescending critique was neither informative nor well written. Please cease the ellipse-laden, alphanumeric-coded sniping: Standard English still exists.
If the Founding Fathers – the authors of our enduring documents – had followed your example, then we would have no nation.
mask natsi too?
Excellent comment, JM.
During GWB’s term in office, I asked the smartest person I’ve ever met why the ‘Rats loathed the man so incredibly deeply. I said he was honest in office, a good husband, a good father, and had been a Governor of Texas popular with both sides of the aisle. What had he done to incur such hatred, I wondered.
Her response to me was enlightening. She told me that she thought it was “his smirk.” She said that facial expression just enraged the political opposition, and the more they saw it, the angrier they became.
That response taught me something important about the ‘Rats. They may be logical in their reasoning about the pursuit of their goals, but the rationale used to determine the goals they pursue is simply devoid of logical justification. My best guess is that the primary foundation of their honest beliefs is simple jealousy, along with a touch of Diana Moon Glampers-style desire for social leveling
I agree! Look at Nick Sandmann. The entire Left, including their propaganda media, went entirely bonkers because they said he had a smirk on his face when the Indian guy pounded a drum right in his face. That smirk didn’t allow the Left to even see the reality of that drummer boy being a total jerk to the white kid. Now their illogical blindness is forcing them to pay up.
I think w/Bush it was more of the hanging chad thing, it was an election that the Democrats thought for sure they had in the bag, same w/Kerry. Democrats simply don’t lose well, thus sheer unadulterated hatred ensues.
But the smirk part is true too, Bush did have a cocky type tilt and cadence that offended some. I remember my mom saying something similar, and told me I should just accept it as his nature, but at the time I was gripping about him being a RINO, and she thought I was talking about his face.
Ah…Dan Jones, recently portrayed in the movie “The Report”, where he is on Diane Feinsteins’s (played by Annette Benning) staff investigating torture of Iraqi Islamist prisoners by the U.S. gov.
An Amazon Prime/Jeff Bezos production.
I don’t think it is truthful to imply that Durham is going to get to the bottom of it. Sundance does great research but this stringing along without results just isn’t getting it.
It’s taken him THIS long, to get close to the Senate, when any Swamp creature has known all along THATS where it all started.
Given that, Durham (or whatever political hack is actually doing the work) may get to McConnell, about 50 years after Mitch is in the ground.
AFTER the election, “when he has more flexibility”, PDJT will HAVE to take over and personally run the DOJ and FBI, and finally confront his biggest, and most powerful nemesis; Mitch McConnell and Congress.
Only way to Drain the Swamp.
Dutchman…this is EXACTLY what this is coming down too. A lot of these congcritters have been there so long they think they run the Office of the President…IF AND ONLY IF BARR/DURHAM can get to the bottom of it can this control TRULY have a representative government..
I spent a lot of time going through Sundance’s screen including his links and to have ALL these individuals putting out intel like it was truth…IT IS A SCAM…and false allegations against people/companies should be prosecuted and the companies bankrupted.
This Tweet I just saw before i came online here tonight has got me trembling in fury because there is NO dust bin in which to dump my anger and frustration:
Tweet
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: A Democrat inside Durham’s office, whose family works as part of the Democratic Machine in Connecticut, and a Never-Trumper inside Barr’s office sabotaged and slow-walked the #Spygate investigation
Where is the reference???
A Tweet doesn’t have a “reference’. I copied what the Tweeter wrote. I trust him, Paul Sperry. Lots of Google on him. Maybe cookie crumbs in the forest. Maybe not.
The safe money says that Steele is the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried. Likewise, if the day comes where he is forced to testify, I would be shocked if he didn’t meet with a fatal accident on the way to The Hill. At some point, the dominoes cannot be stopped from falling and it is just a matter of time. They are waiting to see if Trump is re-elected or not. If he loses, this all goes away and the public loses.
Giving immunity to Steele won’t accomplish anything. He fears being murdered by the people. he’s covering for MORE than he fears prison. And why would he fear prison at all, since NO ONE OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE will spend a single day behind bars. Bill Barr will. see to that!
Thanks for this great article, sole solace in light of Barr’s announcement there will be nothing from Durham before November 3. I read the New Yorker article, and thought about who Max and Tea Leaves might be and why Durham is on their very cold trail.
The two scenarios that seems most probable are first: 1) either the pre-April 2016 illegal four contractor access to raw NSA data, or some not-yet-disclosed later illegal access detected the Trump server pinging back and forth with Alfa Bank’s server; 2) this became an item on the “slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin” dirty trick operation planning; 3) parallel to the initiatives we know about involving Halper, Joseph Mifsud, Downer, etc., attacking Popodopoulus, the black book framing Manafort, and the Carter Page initiative, this Alfa Bank “connection” was passed to two other Podesta operatives with computing/hacking skills, who were tasked with “discovering” it somewhere else legitimate, and reporting it back to HRC and somehow getting it to the attention of the FBI, but with false provenance. Durham has identified this as a lead he can follow and maybe get some scalps without it involving guilty FBI or CIA agents.
Second, the HRC-Podesta team engaged sophisticated hackers like Crowdstrike to hack into both the Trump and Alfa servers and install some sort of pinging technologies that could then be discovered by Max and Tea Leaves, to serve as HRC’s October surprise.
At the heart of the swamp lies the CIA, secure in its un-breachable secrecy walls, and with all manner of “dirt files” on everyone anywhere close to power in DC, and throughout the world, and with hundreds of plants in media and every agency that matters and many companies. Ex-CIA Barr is committed to protecting the agency. Wray is committed to protecting the FBI. The only indictments will be of non-agency people, or small-fry like Clinesmith, who can perform as sacrificial lambs to carry away the sins of the agencies.
It is Donald Trump against the world.
You’re absolutely right. Truman was sorry he allowed the creation of the CIA almost from the first day it opened it’s doors. https://mises.org/wire/truman-was-right-about-cia
He admitted he was duped by the IC with the promise of “consolidation will be beneficial” claim (putting all departments under one so “everyone could share information”) in much the same way we were duped with promises about the Federal Reserve Bankster Cartel and the Patriot Act “Homeland Security” creations. They never share information and they never make things better, just more places to hide the truth.
IT’s Donald Trump and 63 million of us …. against the world. I’m 73. I have finally convinced my children – 35, 42, and 47 – that this is the most important political season of their lives. None was very political before… NOW? … my middle child is a warrior for Trump. My youngest is a housewife and mother in Parker Colorado… she is highly influential in her circle and had flipped whole families from the demon dems to R.
I was surprised how that part of Colorado is resisting the plandemic, and it’s mandates.
I remember when Parker, Co was just a nice little community outside Denver. I worked in the area 20 years ago and liked to stay in the area. I remember when Walmart built a store there, was a big deal.
This is all contingent on President Trump winning the election and keeping the Senate. Pray and do whatever you can – calls, poll watching, etc.
I don’t know, the thought of watching the donkeys wholly ruin Billy Bagpipes and Milk Carton Durham is awfully tempting.
In the abstract the left destroys everything it touches and at this juncture, giving them back the House, Senate and WH may hasten their own demise.
We must pray hard and keep the faith.
The test of being able to keep the faith is doing it even when things look terribly grim.
Trump now believes that God intervened, for the good, in exposing him to the virus. You can see a new clarity and renewed purpose and determination in our POTUS as result.
As Sundance says, keep faith and optimism equally with our cold anger.
I have a hunch that the ACB hearings might really influence things.
Agreed.
I even think the polls favoring Biden are a misguided strategy.. there is little enthusiasm for them, and if it looks like a Trump defeat, many many will ignore the election, and try to put their lives back together.
That’s my sense from the few liberals I speak to. Most just don’t want to talk about it, and wish the whole thing were over.
yes, and then there’s Podesta’s sister-in-law –
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/podesta-relative-earned-six-figure-fees-lobbying-clintons-state-dept-during-his-tenure-there
Announcing you won’t have anything to show in the Washington corruption in the FBI/DOJ/State Department/etc. etc. etc. has a very negative affect against the Trump chances for reelection; as in the Devil knowing he has only a little time left before he is cast into the lake of fire; the Democrats and Deep-State will have renewed ambition (more than they already have) to remove Mr. Trump from office by doing every thing humanly possible, legally and illegally.
Either Barr wants that or he is not very acute in calculating for this.
The difference between the Mafia and the US government (Deep-State Permanent Bureaucratic Shadow Government of Washington DC -Congress; SCOTUS; FBI, DOJ, State Department…) is the Mafia can’t commit crimes under the protection of the government.
When I read about the criminal use of the incredibly sophisticated electronic spying ability of government intelligence agencies, and their illegal employ against Americans for political purposes, and the destruction individual lives, it vividly reminds me of the Edward Snowden warnings in 2016. At the time, and currently a fugitive, Snowden was trying to warn the country, and the world, of the this monster created and being misused by government officials. Whatever Snowden’s motivations, and his methods, he has been proven correct in his assessment of this danger. In my opinion the FISA court should have never been created in the first place and is dangerous to the very concept of American justice. The criminal misuse, not potential but very real, and corruption surrounding this secretive court proves that it needs to be eliminated ASAP. There are effectively no checks and balances on this court! The security trade off that this court is suppose to give is NOT worth the price of our freedom.
SNOWDEN aka as “mr. contractor” was a CIA asset that looks like he got assigned to destroy NSA (because NSA under Admiral Rogers had the proof on all these deep state rats). NSA Whistle-blower Willian Binney recently tweeted regarding the wiped phones of the Muller Team of 18 angry democrats – that if the government wanted to know what was on those phones go to NSA Stellar Wind database that all sms communications are stored there. He also said “Devin Nunez knows this”.
17th ltr patriot told us back in 2017: They had everything – but how to introduce it LEGALLY.
And Dec. 18,2019
It must be done right.
It must be done according to the rule of law.
It must carry weight.
It must be proven in the court of law.
There can be no mistakes.
Good things sometimes take time.
Sundance your writing and the comments sets a distinct tone and mood. In a weird way they reminds me of the Classics IV song Traces(ofLove)https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tFP1zcsNjAtzMgzsjBg9OIrKUpMTi1WyE9TyMkvSwUAiP0JbA&q=traces+of+love&oq=Traces&aqs=chrome.2.69i59j69i57j46l2j0j69i60j69i61l2.52347j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8.
Here we are talking about .Traces (of Law) The “she” is “lady justice” and the fading romance is this intricate spy novel true story and the fading hopes that something still can be done to bring justice,. “The torn out pages of old love letters” line in the lyrics of the song , by analogy scould refer to S&P..”
Maybe the “Traces” you provide with a few more try traces will help us dry our tears. Oh-Ooooo! .
Plot thickens…
“… Recent financial disclosure filings show that the House speaker and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have invested up to $1 million in CrowdStrike Holdings. The Pelosis purchased the stock at a share price of $129.25 on Sept. 3. At the time of this article’s publication, the price has risen to $142.97.”
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/10/09/pelosi_takes_big_stake_in_crowdstrike_democrat-tied_linchpin_of_russiagate_125557.html
I would not consider an investment into Crowdstrike to be prudent at this time…
…except maybe for those who may need their services expanded or history purged in the near future
Looks like the uniparty has successfully used Bill Barr to run out the clock.
Barr is feckless.
Go back and watch his speech to the Federalist Society last year… he is a company man, who is embarrassed and worried that career FBI, CIA and DOJ bureaucrats misused government muscle and ‘over reacted’ to a reality TV star winning the presidency.
Golly, they had our best interests at heart! … but they must never EVER do that again!
naughty naughty Comey. tsk tsk Rosenstein.
Barr is more interested in salvaging the reputation of our ABC agencies to the world, than punishing the traitors. To him, they are not traitors but misguided gatekeepers.
Can we hang him too? Gee I would love to walk Horowitz, Barr and Durham to the gallows along with Rosenstein, Comey, Wray, … all the players, including Bathhouse Barry and wife Mike.
Meanwhile, in the real world, hundreds of rioters, looters, arsonists, insurrectionists, attempted murderers, and seditious coup participants laugh at the FBI, DOJ and the feckless Billy Bagpipes.
Giving people who tried to steal an election, then overthrow a sitting President, a chance to steal another election is a good idea – right Billy Bagpipes. Rhetorical.
Excellent!
I think it is past time for people to be arrested for obstruction of justice! If you are still seditiously not complying with lawful orders of the President of the United States to declassify and make available documents to the public, then you are at risk. Beware.
The Liberal Democrats and Nancy Pelosi are trying to pass the 25th Amendment which will never be passed because they know AG Bill Barr and John Durham are going to come out with Explosive News about what the FBI big shots like John Brennan, James Clapper, Former President Obama and Former Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and James Comey did to President Donald J. Trump before he became President and after he was nominated. The Corrupt Democrats are trying to hide this info from the American people before the November 3rd Presidential Election. The American people have to know what the Corrupt, Democrat Swamp were trying to do to a dully elected President. They were so disappointed that Hillary Clinton lost, so they spied on the President Trump Administration and concocted a false charge on President Trump having to do with Russia, when it was Hillary Clinton that was working with Russia to hurt President Trump. How can anybody vote for such a horrible Corrupt Democrat Party??? Vote for President Donald J. Trump November 3, 2020 and punish Joe Biden for being one of the Swamp to try and take out President Trump. This has never happened before to any President and these Crooked, Corrupt Democrats have to be punished and sent to Prison.
Friend, no one has to “vote” Democrat for Democrats to win and that’s their advantage.
The Democrats are passing/positioning the 25A charade for a stolen Senate to quickly pass it, then quickly employ it to remove the senile Biden.
What led you to believe the party which went unscathed for attempting a treasonous coup in broad daylight, in real-time no less, has any concern for breaking additional laws? Lard bum Barr and John Durham Roberts? Those clowns and Haspel, and Ohr and…are what your taxes pay for – enjoy the evening!
“at risk” – Respectfully disagree.
Blatantly obvious, via the known corruption of both the judicial and prosecutorial inputs of the judicial equation as a whole, “risk” no longer exists; in other words, Barr’s “legacy” is lawlessness and the inability to jog half a block.
William Aldenberg , lol
Just in case you missed this article earlier……..and I wanted to add that Paul Sperry is VERY pro-Trump and is working for his re-election on Twitter.

BREAKING: A Democrat inside Durham’s office, whose family works as part of the Democratic Machine in Connecticut, and a Never-Trumper inside Barr’s office sabotaged and slow-walked the #Spygate investigation
I don’t need a whole report now. I don’t need indictments now. We’ve waited and waited and waited for justice. What I do need, since 1 of the perps is running for POTUS, is wether or not the investigations were properly predicated. By now it is known wether they were or they weren’t. If they were why all the surreptitious behavior to support a properly predicated act? Unfortunately we have to rely on two members of the elite to give us the information which I assume they believe we deplorables, THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS, believe we aren’t entitled to, even though we too were the victims of this seditious teachery.
The popular series Game Of Thrones pales in comparison to the real-life adventures of POTUSVSG and the exposure of the machinations, manipulations and corruption of our leaders. For people looking for that kind of entertainment should invest themselves into this Gordian Knot of intrigue. A cast of thousands! Power! Money! Betrayal! Blackmail! Murder! Sex! War! Plot Twists! A Hero! Thousands of villains! Villains disguised as heroes! Heroes disguised as villains!
This will make a heck of a mini-series!
Thanks to Sundance for a good read, I learned quite a lot that I did not know.Looks like a lot of people think Barr and Durham are just two more swamp rats. I’m not so sure about that, we will find out.Many people in high places have slow walked any incriminating information and obstructed every way possible. I wanted to see something come out before the election but it doesn’t look likely, time will tell. A lot can happen in the next three weeks.
John Durham is not going to do anything, He has stalled around till after the election on purpose so he won;t do anything’ I bet you he was not working for nothing. He has being working on the case longer than Bob Muller’s trial lasted. Its a nothing burger .another den sham
