I did not get to watch the House Judiciary Subcommittee testimony in real time because, well, life interrupts. However, I am catching up this evening. I find myself needing to draw attention to a particular brand of familiar bullsh*t from former DOJ Lawyer and current New York Freshman Representative Daniel Goldman.
In the exchange below, prompted to 10:55, notice how weasel Goldman posits the Mueller/Weissmann Special Counsel Russian indictments as some form of evidence that Russia (a) interfered in the election, and that Russia (b) hacked and dumped the DNC emails in 2016; neither of which is factually accurate….. but he blathers on.
Unfortunately, Taibbi and Shellenberger were not deep enough in the weeds back in 2018 to appropriately skewer Dan Goldman with the verbal takedown he deserved. What Goldman is saying is ridiculous, and he counts on people not knowing the details of the Mueller/Weissmann schemes.
Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein held two big press conferences announcing indictments of Russian actors in 2018. One in February and one in July, both at critical moments for the fraudulent cover operation being done by Mueller. [Citation Here – And HERE – And Here]
These are the “indictments” Goldman cites. However, the indictments were sealed within the DOJ-National Security Division, specifically so that no one could deconstruct them. Goldman is asking Taibbi to read indictments that are not even possible to see. They never were. The only thing the public saw were Weissmann and team’s descriptions of the claims within the indictments we were never permitted to review…. because, well, national security. WATCH:
Insert the familiar and hilarious case of the Russian Concord Catering Company that was indicted. Yes, Mueller/Weissmann actually indicted a place that makes ham sandwiches. The correct “Concord” company eventually took the DOJ case to court and made fun of the stupid Amerikans so much the DOJ ended up dropping the case while claiming they would have to put national security at risk (sources and methods) if they took the case to trial.
In February 2018, they needed a big presser to get away from the Senator Warner texts with Adam Waldman (Oleg Deripaska, Dan Jones, Chris Steele et al), while simultaneously trying to run an operation to deflect attention from the FBI discovery of SSCI Security Director James Wolfe and his leaking of the FISA application. The February Russian indictments were intended to: (a) suck oxygen, (b) deflect from a collapsing Trump-Russia narrative (Nunes Memo), and (c) prop up the Mueller probe.
The July 2018 indictments of Russian Intelligence Officials, was even worse. This set [READ HERE] evaporated immediately following the press conference. The media ran with the narrative, yet there was nothing public that would ever support the indictments… because, national security. Seeing a pattern?
This is in the same July 2018 when the Mueller team publicly released the Carter Page FISA application, again another distraction and first ever release of a Top Secret Compartmented FISA warrant {eyeroll here}… that was already in the media hands from the soon to be made public James Wolfe indictment. This is the exact same time when the Mueller team told the FISA court that the predicate for the FISA warrant was structurally sound. It wasn’t.
Both the February and July 2018 Russian indictments were indictments (accusations) in name only. None of it was pursued except by the Russian Concord group who wanted to go to court to embarrass the Mueller probe… which was the real motive for the DOJ dropping it. Daniel Goldman knows all of this.
The great pretending continues….
I hate them all.
Last point. See what I mean about congress and their staffs being clueless about the details of events. Any of those Congress people could have mopped the floor with Goldman and made an epic moment for television sunlight… except they don’t know the background. They are genuinely clueless. Principals and Staff, totally clueless. Even on this House subcommittee.
These “hearings” actually sicken me. To me this is all Kabuki theater conducted by the Uni-Party to further the great pretending that we live in a representative Republic. Congress has completely outsourced its actual governing function and we are left with these little one act plays where they play at cross examination in order to create sound bites to be used in their actual function getting rich by fundraising and money laundering which requires reelection over and over and over. Jim Jordan makes me as sick as Wasserman Schultz. Nothing comes of this crap, absolutely nothing, except illusion to calm the masses.
Well said.
And it’s all done on OUR dime! I agree with Sundance – I absolutely loathe these people.
All they are are actors on a stage, seeking the spotlight, glib of tongue with a vapid, empty head. I hate them all.
They are all politicians, which should indicate to any critical observer that they are mostly uninformed members of the subordinate class of nobles. We may have noticed these guys depicted in the Mel Gibson movie, “Braveheart”. We are foolish to ever expect politicians to be working in our best interest, and we should have grudging respect for the few who actually give it a try.
Reagan had the role of Government right and We the People continue to vote for more and more Government Bureaucracies. Government is the problem, and We are now powerless to reform anything because, in my opinion, it is too late for us serfs to ever have our time in the sun. We seem headed for another long and debilitating Dark Age. Hunker down, but don’t expect to win anything in the political theater.
This was so disgusting to listen to.
Goldman lied repeatedly about “evidence” in the indictments; yet all the Leftist Ds claim sworn affidavits about Electoral fraud were “debunked”.
Goldman states, “You know how this works.”
Yes Mr Goldman, we know how this works.
Goldman’s cross eyed make me belief there is some in-breeding in his background.
Why would Goldman pick a fight with two high powered journalists who have more readership that any senator or congressman could ever hope to have. I hope Taibbi and Shellenberger go back to their offices and write about the experience explaining what foolish representatives we have in Congress.
Its Friday March 10th 2023 more proof Democrats and Rino’s hate free speech and want to censor any news not deemed appropriate by their political agenda. We need a new conspiracy theory all mine have come true LMAO @ these fools and the people that beleive them.
What a weasel. He could not bully his desired answer from Taibbi, so he wants to ‘move on’. This is not an inquiry for truth for Goldman, just a session to bully anyone who is going to be instrumental in his conviction for treason. Putting words in another person’s mouth doesn’t make it true. It will sink him.
And he attempts to picture Mr Jordan as a deceptive person with his underhanded comment about not having the tweet, one he claims he never saw and wants to see. The American people are not forgetting these things they continue to gas light, stonewall, and blame shift over any more. Democrats have built a house on sand and it is crumbling as it should. They expose themselves every time. Why does the American Taxpayer have to fund this, has always been my question.
Goldman is a Richard Noggin. What a waste of O2.
According to Glenn Greenwald, the black byatch who calls Taibbi a so called journalist is a so called CongressCritter. She is NOT a member of Congress. She is a “delegate” from the Virgin Islands with ZERO standing. Can’t vote, can’t anything.
It’s a made up position.
Epstein was a big time backer of this chic.
TwoLaine: Sounds very diverse, equitable and inclusive.
Thanks for this info. I couldn’t understand who she was and what she represented. Outside of the Low in IQ.
Many would like to smack the smirk off this “Hitler Hair Doo”” fascist scumbag. Sundance you should update this article with Goldman’s Lawfare work with Pelosi and Schiff on President Trump’s impeachments. Although his family has generational wealth from “Levi Straus” we paid/pay this garbage to work against and he knows exactly what he is doing to us, the constitution, and the country.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Sachs Goldman (born February 26, 1976)[1][2] is an American attorney and politician who is the member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York’s 10th congressional district. He previously served as lead majority counsel in the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump and lead counsel to House Managers in Trump’s subsequent impeachment trial.[3][4] Goldman is among the wealthiest members of Congress, with an estimated personal net worth of up to $253 million according to financial disclosure forms.[5]
He literally bought that Congressional seat. I saw him making the deal with the anarchists that run the various Village “Democratic” clubs in downtown Manhattan. I was walking my dogs around Washington Square Park and that cross-eyed freak Goldman was making his promises in the courtyard of the NYU Law School. I could see it was a done deal. Shameful.
I have been watching John Titus
He describes a coup d’etat that took place in the wake of the GFC of 2008. Remember the big bank bailouts? Wall Street Banks basically were systematically defrauding customers with mortgage backed securities packaged together, some 5,000 at a time, only some of which were adequately collateralized. This fraud brought the economy down, and US taxpayers bailed out the global banking cartel. But what happened after that is the coup d’etat: who would you want Obama to pick for no 1 and 2 at the DOJ if you were a big Wall street bank? How about 2 members of the law firm whose clients were all the Wall street “too big to fail banks”? Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer worked for Covington and Burling, the Wall St law firm for all of the banks, such as Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, etc..
Titus points out, “If you can tell the President who to pick for his cabinet, He works for You, not the other way around.”
Essentially he explains that the DOJ could no longer prosecute or even INVESTIGATE the big banks. Our DOJ TAKES ORDERS FROM THE GLOBAL BANKING CARTEL via the Bank of International Settlements.
He explains that these banks have SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. That means they can commit any crime any time they want, and if caught, they can claim immunity. If you have sovereign immunity, you don’t have to be a lawmaker in Congress to make the law, you can bribe anyone you want to get the law you want. If you have sovereign immunity, the DOJ can “prosecute” you, but not investigate you, and you never have to turn over any documents. You can “negotiate” the fine you want to pay.
I believe this ties in with everything that Sundance has written about in terms of the Intelligence Community, (the 4th branch of government) as well as the fact that Congress has not submitted a budget since 2007. Our government is no longer OUR government. It is THEIR government: the global criminal banking cartel owns the US government.
It is all explained in John Titus’s videos.
Yes, this! 👆🏻
Another data point for me to see the picture of what was going on in this country.
The fraud destroyed our 60 year old family business. It destroyed our family financial stability. It destroyed my husband and in turn destroyed our family life. My family’s life was forever changed from being hard working middle class citizens who just wanted to make an honest living. It is very difficult to start over when you are in your 50’s and living in a rural area.
And the thing is, I know of others who were also destroyed by this fraud system and it is still on going.
Thank you for that YT link.
These Justice hearings are a farce. How long will it take before Just Us realize We have to, as Norman Schwartzkopf said about leadership, “Take charge and do what is right”?
Had Matt armed himself with Sundance Knowledge it would have probably made no difference. Goldman was not allowing any real response from him. The slap down of Goldman had to come from Jordan et al.
Matt should get up to Sundance speed and have back at the weasel in an article detailing how Goldman tried to Resurrect the Russia Russia Lie on his shoulders.
He is indirectly mentioning Andre Telechenko who is the Ukrainian Embassy whistle-blower sanctioned by Pompeo and Mnuchin and branded a Russian agent.
Goldman is a trove of info every time he opens his mouth during these hearings.
This guy is deep state dangerous, in my opinion.
More Daniel Goldman I say!
Every time he opens his mouth, he just comes across as a triggered weenie. I’d bet he was bullied as a kid and is replaying his adolescent psychodramas in front of the cameras. This guy needs serious psychiatric attention but in the meantime, I’m looking forward to more DG meltdowns.
That goldman was human execreta. He was elected in congress to shit all over citizens.
Goldman, isn’t this the same “friend” james comer illegally gave top secret govt documents to during the transition of Pres Trump taking office? I believe it is. How is this guy not in jail along with comer?
If America falls it will be taken down by the enemies within, domestic enemies acting under the cover of government agencies.
one of the Dems said Trump asked to take down a tweet. It apparently it was one of his and they fail to see the difference.
Goldman, is a prime example of how Congressional staff are the real drivers of political ideology. The treachery is a LawFare operation. I recall this beauty perched behind that fat pusillanimous pile of shite Nadler.
Speaking of staffers, how about Jendleson, Fetterman’s chief of staff, who previously “worked” for Podesta and that vilest of vile Harry Reid. Oh yeah, nothing going on here….
DC is a cesspool which should be nuked from orbit.
Sundance, your vast knowledge and timely reporting never ceases to amaze me!
Is this the same (Daniel Sachs Goldman) and the Koch Equity Development LLC?

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.’s (GS) arm – Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division — declared that it has collaborated with Koch Equity Development LLC – a unit of Koch Industries Inc. — to acquire Flint Group from U.K.-based private equity firm CVC Capital Partners Ltd. The deal is expected to be closed by the second half of 2014.
Though there is no official disclosure about the financial terms and conditions of the deal, the acquisition price may settle over €2.2 billion ($3 billion). The proposed investment will take place through a new entity to be created by Koch Equity Development and Goldman.
Luxembourg-based Flint Group, one of the major players in the global market, is engaged in producing inks and other print consumables including flexographic printing plates and image transfer products and chemicals for the packaging and print media industry. Flint Group has grown through meaningful mergers and acquisitions.
Goldman has a history of successful investments undertaken in collaboration with other firms. Hence, we remain optimistic about the collaboration of Goldman and Kansas based Koch Industries, which is one of the largest privately owned companies in the world.

Obombie CIA Operation Zero Footprint armed overthrows in Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt and Libya. CIA Operation Timber Sycamore shipped Libyan arms to ISIS in Syria. US invaded eastern Syria and began stealing 66,000 barrels of oil a day. Yesterday a Gaetz bill to remove US troops, lost 321 NAYS to 103 Yeahs. The UNIPARTY war continues
This elected official is the worst kind of elected official.
Cannot see the forest thru the trees.
US citizens have a First Amendment.
Whether a government agency likes it or not.
They cannot silence your voice in a crowd of voices.
I was reminded of Goldman’s behavior again this morning when I ran across this C.S. Lewis comment: “When once passion takes part in the game, the human reason, unassisted by Grace, has about as much chance of retaining its hold on truths already gained as a snowflake has of retaining its consistency in the mouth of a blast furnace.”
— C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
Goldman may not be a “dumb” Democrat, but certainly seems to lack WISDOM, and graces.
That lawyer is such a despicable jerk. Tiabbi did a pretty good job, considering he’s not a professional snake oil salesman. The Dem conduct is becoming close to that of a nazi or communist show trial.
I believe the Russian buy of “interference” in 2016 amounted to $137k buys of influence.
So when he states Mueller stated there was interference and asks Taiibi, Taiibi rightfully says the interference was less than to extent people believed.
What that has to do with FBI and all other government employees influencing Twitter is crazy.
Does these same government agencies do to media? To what extent?
Russia buying ads does not give government license to control speech.
Goldman is sickeningly arrogant and sadly convinces, and impresses the weak and uninformed. Taibbi’s honesty and goodness shine through for those who can appreciate his character.
