Stories of a top aide to USAO John Durham, Nora Dannehy (good Irish family), leaving the investigative unit have hit the media narrative cycle. However, here’s a slightly different perspective about her departure you won’t see anywhere else.
CONNECTICUT – Federal prosecutor Nora Dannehy, a top aide to U.S. Attorney John H. Durham in his Russia investigation, has quietly resigned from the U.S. Justice Department probe – at least partly out of concern that the investigative team is being pressed for political reasons to produce a report before its work is done, colleagues said. (read more)
That highlighted narrative segment is horse-pucky.
Unbeknownst to Ms. Dannehy, we met, we crossed paths in DC. It was an serendipitous outcome of putting my physical presence in a position to interact. From our encounter Ms. Dannehy seemed to be a functionary of the investigative process; located in DC as an outcome of her task assignment.
Dannehy, very familiar with the DC national security networks; and carrying a top-secret clearance level; had a role to play where she reached into compartmented silos, retrieved information, conducted interviews and then sent the raw data along with summaries back up the investigative pipeline. Ergo, she seemed to be an investigative “functionary.”
Although she was/is obviously a badge carrying member of the Orange-Man-Bad committee (most of them cannot hide that inherent disposition), she seemed competent and detached emotionally from the work. That said, obviously this ‘Durham’ investigation touches on several ‘third-rails’ that could negatively impact the financial prospects of any DC insider if their assigned role undermined the position of the administrative state that functions to pay the network. Did that play a role? If I were a betting man….
♦ Here’s the way it looks to me. The Durham probe, actually more like the Aldenberg probe, has slightly shifted direction. Additional inquires are now being made into the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel conduct. That explains why the ‘Woods File’ story surfaced; and that explains why the iPhone scrubbing FOIA info was produced; it’s an insiders control-game and it continues.
With any slight shift toward questioning the unquestionable, stuff happens. Mueller, and his DC enabled career of “public service”, is a protected entity (a third rail of sorts). Any shift into the disposition of that enterprise is a disconcerting and troubling shift for all of those who operate within the DC administrative state.
It’s a weird inside the bubble dynamic. Any review of the individual elements within the bubble brings out a certain level of defensive angst from every element inside the bubble. The system protects itself. Any slight defect or investigative penetration of the membrane is considered a risk. [Think: ‘first rule of fight club‘ etc.]
If, as I suspect, a series of investigative paths starts to merge upon the operation of the special counsel, any networked official who is dependent on the system is going to want to avoid participating…. Especially if their private sector financial attachment is connected to their ability to reenter the bubble to engage the trough; just like Ms. Dannehy.
In this scenario a bail-out from assignment only reflects an individual choosing to stop traveling in the rabbit hole out of a sense of self-preservation. That outlook doesn’t define any time-frame within the investigation; nor does it attribute a coming interim report as a consequence of the investigative travels so far. It’s simply a functionary making a decision to exit and retain private sector access to the same system. Nothing more.
Warmest best.
PS. Hello fellas.
When does phase 2 start?
2025
Check out the latest report from Judicial Watch/Tom Fitton today with tons of info about wiping the iPhones and Mueller.
They wiped clean 27 cell phones. Unbelievable.
“You mean, like, with a cloth?”
You beat me to it Dee Paul!
No, they only wiped clean 26…..one miraculously “wiped” itself clean of any data. Next thing, someone in the DOJ will worship that phone like it was Lourdes. Pardon me while I puke.
You mean like with a cloth?
Probably A “Clorox-Wipe” We Are In A Phony Pandemic After All….
tucker, why isn’t that considered the same as destroying govt documents?
IT IS!!! That’s why everyone is asking where is the phone data now…
Exactly…the cell phone is just one “device” this digital content “traversed” on its journey through the web. That data is stored in a multitude of servers all over the place.
“Accidental” “Inadvertent” These alibis should not be accepted as a legal defense in cases such as this-in fact such actions should automatically trigger a verdict of guilty with the harshest penalty imposed.
Hang them all. They are lawyers, eterminate them.
NO-Sydney Powell and the Sekulow family are also lawyers. We need them.
Destroying evidence should automatically double the sentence you eventually receive.
Why NO Grand Juries??? Cannot the people make one
, yes just one, and INDICT THESE CRIMINALS!!!
What makes anyone think there has been a phase 1? Smoke and mirrors.
This DC “investigative” functionary is leaving so she can save face and still be employable in the DC/MIC/lawfare/swamp? Her husband is connected to mueller and has a past of ties to the deep state. Did anyone really expect anything to come of this?
Barr is and has been a deep state “FIXER”. Period.
Let’s ask the former Enron or Arthur Anderson employees and pension-holders if they felt justice was done with weissman…think you will get a really good idea of how we will feel when no one is indicted. There has to be someone, anyone, with a spine to bring indictments. I believe all have been terrified of the consequences and, hence, nothing. This continues to be a mass conspiracy to commit treason, espionage, wire-fraud, money-laundering, etc. You name it, the swamp has conducted and performed any and all crimes, including murder. I want to think RICO but…
The only way this ends is for the guilty to be held accountable, and even then, unless there are actual substantial prison sentences and/or executions, the corruption will continue. Both communist democrats and republicons are involved; is that what they are all afraid of?
The question becomes HOW the guilty are going to be held accountable when the investigators and prosecutors themselves are equally guilty.
The only phases involved are those of the hope-porn kind. NOTHING will come of this just like NOTHING came from Cankles bathroom server handing state secrets over the highest bidder, Uranium One, Benghazi, Libya, the Iran deal. The Deep State protects it’s own…nothing will unravel the rats’ nest.
The rats certainly do not seem in the least concerned. The Kenyan usurper and Big Mike continue their normalizing of pedophilia via Netflix, Strozk is smirking, sneering, and opining on TV, Killery is dictating the end of the Republic with violent revolution should Biden not win, the communists openly pander to about 40% of the country, who are ignorant/evil and eat it up. Funny thing, they aren’t even creating fake crowds at Biden’s rallies. No one shows up, and no one cares. At least Rombama had hired supporters who went from event to event. You’d think Antifa or someone would show up and cheer for him.
Ct. is a small state and all the lawyers know each other. Her father was a state court judge who basically ran the courts in the eastern half of the state (near Uconn.) Democrat, but the old school JFK type. I was surprised when she was brought on as a Durham team member for that reason. But all the lawyers are Dems, even the fairly conservative ones, esp. in the US atty. office.
Of the 1.35 million nickel chasing shysters in this country most of them have done more destruction to this country then any terrorists have ever done.
We have the ACLU which is not for American civil liberties because the founding of that group was communist. They are more like American Communist Lawyers Union who many of which work on behalf of foreign government’s and rouge intelligence agencies.
Rouge rogues are the worst.
Clever, that!
The law schools are communist nests.
Ask a Lawyer what the acronym for the Bar stands for and they will immediately lie.

Thank you. Very interesting article.
I think my family left the state as one of the last R clans around in the mid to late 80’s..
Whoever was actually last to leave forgot to turn off the lights.
Unfortunately!
I think Sundance was alluding to a job with one of the big K street firms. That is where you make the big coin for your DC connections. Say for example, a client needs an export license, it’s good to hire a lawyer that knows (has a Rolodex) and can call the top functionaries at the various agencies and represent. Mueller is parked at Wilmer-Hale. The most connected firm of connected firms. Just saying.
Nora Dannehy was a Deep State mole planted in the Durham investigation to detonate at the most opportune time. Obviously, there were more indictments than Clinesmith, which set off Dannehy’s timer. Now she’s detonated to discredit the Durham investigation. Watch the liberal media pounce!
Notice the story said they were being pressed for political reasons to produce a report before its work is done.”
SHE DID NOT SAY they were being pressured to produce a particular result. It is very possible she thinks going to fast will cause them not to bring to justice all those that did wrong or MOVING TOO FAST will cause them miss important criminal violations
That quote as to what she is alleged to have said doesn’t necessaraily mean anything bad. But the media will shave and massage the headlines to imply she resigned because she wouldn’t be a party to lynching “innocent” people.
Do you see how YOU are massaging and shaving, to justify a hope when there is absolutely no, not one solid fact on which to BASE your hope?
Gee,….Maybe THIS time Lucy WILL hold the football, so I can’t kick it,…and it will be GLORIOUS!
Good a,way as any, to end up flat on your back.
HOPE is NOT a strategy.
Barr is NOT your friend.
Maybe doesn’t win contests.
Dutch- so glad you replied to that comment. You NAILED it.
The schite is all piled up. The fan is not turned on. Bill Barr, will ‘not’ turn it on.
He has a small army shovel, the schite is as high as the Washington monument, he is keeping the pile neat and spraying it with air freshener.
AG Barr is tough and smart, but he works for the other side.
On November 3rd, or whenever, one of 2 things are going to happen.
Mr. Barr will order front loaders and dump trucks to deliver the schite, to the location where “conspiracies” literally vanish, Or a new guy will come in and turn on the fan.
Barr won’t do anything. Soon after the election, he will be retired, “thank you for your service”, or “don’t let it hit you”,..
PDJT would then do what he has long talked about, and take over himself.
By creating the chaos, they hope to avoid this, de-legitimise him and the election, etc.
Literally, only THE LORD knows whats going to happen, or how this will all turn out!
When I found out AG Barr, defended the FBI sniper that murdered Randy Weaver’s wife at Ruby Ridge?
That is as deep state as it gets.
I KNOW about Barrs history and resume, from various treeper posts, but for me, I didn’t NEED that.
Once I recognised that A)
McConnell confirmed him, which Grennel shows us he didn’t HAVE to do.
B) McConnell was,IN ON the Mueller Russia Insurance policy, HAD to be in on it from day one.
C)Obviously McConnell is NOT goung to confirm an A.G. who is goung to persue it, since it leads,RIGHT back to McConnell.
Ipso Facto; Barr is a “Cleaner” ..NOT a “Housecleaner”; all else is just gravy.
Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction.
Vacuums, back pipes.
Its a messy job, but somebodies gotta do it,.. ..
NowhadImean?
No, I think Sundance has it right. You can’t get work if you indict Dems, not in the deep state, nor private sector which depends on the deep state. The hammer is about to come down, and she wants no part of it.
And that part might not even be true. There are no such complaints in her resignation letter. This could simply be a Lawfare cover story.
I think we see the pounce.. all the phones have been wiped clean.. oh gosh it is going to take more time to investigate… oh, maybe until after the election… what a set up and a walk off to make it look like the show it is.. Barr…. be a star not a lame duck!!
Just asking for a friend… has Tom Fitton ever gotten someone from Government arrested from his investigations?. I am starting to wonder?? Nothing drops unless someone in Government wants it to drop… Starting to question everyone… Please advise…I do want to feel like someone is on our side…
He has gotten some states to clean up their voter roles by suing them.
We need a PEOPLES GRAND JURY, just one to start, and INDICT THESE CRIMINALS. In adition, VIOLATING THEIR OATH, should cost them their house and other property. What am I missing? Fitton must know this. Just ONE GRAND JURY?!!
Perhaps some day Sundance will explain when something officially becomes evidence and when it is not.
I consider anyone a member of CTH a decent person seeking truth and justice. That makes you my friend.
Stay positive friend.
Do you think my assessment is incorrect? Give me your take on this.
I think it makes a lot of sense, and more along the style of what we have seen before. Just one stinkbomb after the other. Sounds like her Deep State connections are pretty deep, plus an Unassailable Female Who Must Be Believed.
I think she is a 58 year old Democrat that would rather take a bit of media exposure now and not the overwhelming exposure that is coming to the group of Durham Investigators. I think the whole of the bureaucracy and career politicians have corrupted D.C. regardless of party. And that Donald Trump will not leave Washington D.C. without exposing the corrupt filth that has grown there. He will do this with or without the DOJ.
I think you are frustrated and disappointed like every CTH member because we know a lot more than most. Thank you Sundance
Not saying you are wrong, but I cant imagine PDJT would just stand by … quietly. Also think we have reached a knowledge base that cannot be reversed. SD says “We all know now” Well that isn’t changing and MAGA isn’t going away.
My first thought. Hot kitchen….she was the required oven glove.
someone toss her ass on hot plate WSB….she had to rush out….I think this development is positive Dutchman
Could be a planned narrative, as well.
I Was Thinking Along These Same Lines, Timing Bolsters The “Gleason-Amicus” Does This Mean The “Leak’s” Will Begin In Ernest? Will She Soon Be Hired By CNN Or MSNBC Pending A Book Deal With Simon & Schuster ??
It means the Lawfare crew will have a meme with which to discredit the investigation. They have a narrative now.
The key word in the presstitutes narrative shaping is ‘colleagues’. That is the most vague of vague attributions. Doesn’t say colleagues in the investigation or colleagues anywhere particular. A colleague in this context could be someone who worked on a case with her 10 years ago and they haven’t spoken since.

#FakeNews
Merkin,
The smell I smell tells me you are correct. 17 months, 1 minuscule indictment.
Sundance has more knowledge re this Hydra of a Coup than any other human, and the Deep State wants to keep it that way.
We’ll see if Barr and Durham do anything. We know the corruption of the 4th Amendment likely goes back more than 5 years.
God given Rights that humans no longer protect, if the elitist swells are the law breakers.
Enough for now, I have to up chuck my breakfast.
But if this story is true, I think it shows that indictments are coming. She wouldn’t have been worked into a lather if they weren’t.
One gone {regardless of the reason} and next man up.
If there’s one certainty on which I can bet the weekly paycheck it’s if Mr. Durham feels he’s best served by hiring her replacement … there are numerous counselors from which to choose.
Today’s “drain the swamp” moment brought to you by US President Donald J Trump. MAGA!!!
I notice that Dannehy just quit but the all encompassing unnamed “colleagues said” it was because of political pressure to issue the report before the investigation was concluded. Just more media BS to throw shade on the President and AG Barr. It is a damn shame that we as a public let the media, political and education system get this far without demanding and causing change.
We don’t need a report.
We need Indictments. Dozens & dozens.
dilonsfo,
‘Political pressure’ was simply the narrative/talking point of the day, also being cited by the illegal prosecutor[amicus] of the Sullivan court, as the premise for the continued persecution of Lt. Gen. Flynn. It’s the MO of Satan[the accuser]. When you’re the guilty party, accuse the innocent party of committing your misdeeds, then try to hide behind a technicality in the law when you’ve been exposed. And exposed they are. God has delivered them up for all to see. As President Trump said “There it is. Right there.”
… and what precisely do you recommend, dilonsfo, that I as a public do — and what will you as a public do —
‘jus askin’
I can tell you from my experience. Just at the local school board meeting and county government meetings, NO ONE attends these meetings but the government crats and their handpicked (often their own employees) committee members. Parents show up if there is a threat to a sports program. None care about academics, and the few who are smart enough to understand the system simply politic and schmooze the crats to get their kids special treatment. You cannot believe the newspaper reports of these meetings, many times I have found it hard to believe that the reporter attended the same meeting I was at. If there is a kerfuffle, say the closing of a school, the crats seed the audience with teachers and administrators to make it appear that anyone who objects isinthe minority, group dynamics, SLAPP letters, the “hearings” where the public is allowed to talk, but completely powerless and ignored. When I called the state Dept of Ed. head he laughed at me and said “You elected them (school board members), you can recall them but by the time you do that, it will be re-election time, ha, ha”. He shortly thereafter became Bushes Dept of Ed head. People are busy, working, rearing kids, and so burnt out they dont have time to do what needs done in their evenings. The crats spend 8 hrs a day doing nothing but figuring out how to feather their own nests and steal the poor man’s lamb.
” Un named sources report that she was released from the investigation due to mishandling Top Secret documents and sharing confidential information with Brennan and Susan Rice” ….there, fixed
the story line for you…Anybody can make up the NEWS these days, might as well spin it to suit me…
As aa Man Thinkth: I like what you did with there.
Breaking News: Representative Schiff will need to convene more hearings and have ‘special’ witnesses invited to his little secure interrogation bunker to pin down exactly who was pressuring her to get her job done. He’s probably already sent out the memo requesting all whistleblowers meet with Colonel Vindman before next Friday to get their paperwork in order before submitting it.
IMO, the distinction has never been more vivid, if you love your Country you are going to support Trump. If you only have room to love yourself, then you are most likely a Libtard, Democrat, Communist, Globalist, Elitist and all other things which makes you either gullible and naive or crooked criminal.
Sure seems like lots of dems dont love their country or even like it
They just want the MONEY…SHOW ME THE MONEY and I WILL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT…Sound like someone we all know…
HEELS UP HARRIS!!!
They actually want the money and then a second career making big mega$.
1) Term Limits
2) Decentralize D.C
3) Regulate NGOs
Cautiously Pessimistic here… but Barr has said a couple of times in recent interviews that he expects to LIKELY see SOMETHING around this time (September-ish), but hold off on other stuff until after the election.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
thats right. barr says things that give me confidence. how in sam hill do you ignore 31 phones . you can’t.
Right, Gary. They didn’t ignore the measly 16 minutes of scrubbed audiotape of Nixon in the Watergate investigations. And the scrubbed iphones count keeps increasing. First, it was 15 phones, then 20, then 21, then 27, now 31. What I don’t understand, how come we are learning about these scrubbed iphones now? How come the IG didn’t say something about this when he was in front of Congress?
Horrible Horowitz belongs to the same club as Weissman and the 17 very angry Democrats from Brooklyn which is why he never took action which he could have done or even mentioned it prominently in his report or to Congress.
I was surprised to learn Horowitz was IG for the Iran Nuke deal.
“How come the IG didn’t say something about this when he was in front of Congress?” Because Horowitz left it out of his report. That would have shredded the Mueller reports credibility in a nanosecond, pulling the same cr@p as Page and Strzok.
Thanks. Now I see. Horowitz = scumbag.
I’m pretty sure Horowitz hasnt been called to testify in front of the House, although the Senate qualifies as “Congress” in the general sense.
It seems like an ongoing coup against the POTUS would be enough justification to go to court and get NSA to pull the texts and calls of the wiped phones. Analyzing that much data would be a months’ long chore but worthwhile.
I love Sam Hill.
Amazing thing is that the Communists on the Mueller/Weissmann Witch Hunt Committee think that all Americans are as stupid as radical leftists and will buy into that “oops I forgot my password” bovine manure. Okay, their supporters are that stupid but not everyone is. Unfortunately, they see themselves as the keepers of the knowledge. I see them as the keepers of the Devil himself.
It’s obvious that none of those SCO people that claim to have “accidentally” wiped their phones with a passcode reset have actually done it. There’s no way to do it accidentally. If you were to factory reset a phone intentionally, the reset would destroy any evidence you did so.
Not only that, how could they all be so stupid that no one said, “Wait a second, isn’t it going to look suspicious if a bunch of us all accidentally passcode reset our phones?”
One idiot could do it, maybe. But not this many. Most people will go through an entire lifetime of using cellphones, without accidentally passcode wiping a single one of them.
doesn’t matter,they could all say “F’you,I flushed it down the toilet so no one could use it against me in a criminal investigation” & they STILL WOULD NOT be held accountable
LOL. How do you ignore a video where the vice president laughs about extorting a country to benefit his son, and a shady company with threats of withdrawal of foreign aid???
Blatantly pessimistic here…what else would he say?
Shoot me, please. /s
“Would you like to shoot me now — or wait till you get home?”
Those pesky pronouns…???…poor Daffy
Well, here’s an interesting little tidbit …
Yes, but when …
Do we have a new Master of Tick-Tock at Fox News?
https://twitter.com/kevincorke/status/1304552716635697152
The Durham Investigation is clearly coming to its final phase/days. Dannehy helped frame the investigation and likely doesn’t want or need to be in the spotlight. It’s gonna get ugly. The media reporting…yet again…is wrong.
Set his alarm clock, or mark his calendar?
My Alarm Clock Has Been Set For Almost 4-Years Now! I’m Getting Tired Of Hitting The “Snooze-Button”! … Ever Notice How Kevin Corkes Hairline Strangely Resembles Steven Seagals? “Flocking” Isn’t Just For Christmas Tree’s Anymore….
Fox News Is A Joke! We Went From Catherine Herridge To Kevin Corke? That “David Spunt” Guy Must Have Been On Assignment… LOL….
In other words, she’s scum. She would rather profit from the mere weakening all the up to the demise of this great Republic rather than defend it. Remember that you said that you would remove a rib and grind it into a finger for Liberty or something like that? Not this one; can’t be bothered. Our Republic hangs in the balance. What and who we are is being defended in this moment and with this investigation and she bails because she prefers the trough?
Scum
>>> Maybe she has friends to keep and doesn’t want to be around when the SHTF. So, her exit could signal a good thing, but which is a bad thing – for her. <<<
YOU are ABSOLUTELY talking about the_____________COUNTRY CLUB SET!!!!
Interesting take but … If she’s really a deep stater why wait until this late in the process when she’s already tainted by it.
Threatened?
Leaking to BFF’s.
Rush was talking around the margins of this today, comparing the Mueller situation with Biden; two senile old farts acting as figureheads. He talked about the phone wiping and describing Mueller’s thuggery going back many years. I think he knows more about what will or may come down and would agree with everything in this post by Sundance.
Gentlemen! We have to protect our phony baloney jobs! Harrumph! Harrumph!
I didn’t get a harummph out of that guy.
Ah! Nora Dannehy plays the part of Cypher, a la “The Matrix.”
The list of those in whom we can even modestly trust shortens daily, no? When we think they’ve exhausted all their dirty tricks, called in their nefarious markers, we then learn of additional naked, in-your-face, criminal activity. The intentional deletion of tech devices made to sound as if it’s an oops! honest mistake, and one made by persons at the highest levels of our agencies. Gotta be pretty desperate to pull that one, again, but pull it they did. Now, an individual departs the team the world is watching and waiting for, and the dirty players want you to think she is “resigning because of the integrity of the investigation.” I’m uncertain that even the apolitical Joes and Janes in Mainstream America believe anything these actors do, anymore. Keeping score is no longer possible. Our tally has peace agreements in the Middle East and record-breaking crowds at rallies. Their side has tabloid-type allegations, mysterious sources and threats of disgruntled Generals dishing with Anderson Cooper. But they have the entire mainstream news outlets doing their bidding; we have a few million keyboard warriors truth-telling and being censored for it. Hurry, November…and God…please don’t allow darkness to win.
One thing for sure, we can trust Donald John Trump. His unwaivering patriotism and loyalty to our country and her beliefs have remained steadfast. Pray for President Trump.
Double AMEN!
Great post two percent neanderthal! Praying hard God steps in to save us again.Please God hear our prayers.
Great piece, Sundance. Thank you for the heads up. Love that “not in my purview” photo.
You know, I’ve always held to the notion that Trump was Ropa-doping them during this whole time…in fact, I have preferred to say he was Superman 2ing them…that indictments or something big would hit them at just the right time and they’d all be thrown into the Fortress of Solitude…but Sundance has recently disabused me of this in the past months, and I’ve grown to expect nothing is coming
But if a move was to be made, it would be very soon, If Trump was going to go into the Kryptonite chamber and kneel before them, now would be the time to start crushing some hands…According to reports, there’s supposed to be a debate on sept 29. If the tables were to be turned, several days before this debate would be a good time…either forcing Biden out of the debate or debate in the shadow of the reveal, in old Joe will stroke out for good trying to defend himself and his role in it
C’mon, Trump, General Zod and Co. are waiting for you
If you’re right, and I don’t tend to think you are as I think it’s now too late for anything to happen (based on the DOJ rule of no indictments in the last 60 days before an election), but if you are correct, even Sept 29th may be too early. Dropping a bomb that can’t be recovered from is called an October surprise because it has to be so close to the election that they can’t recover successfully. That would probably mean at least another week past Sept. 29 and more likely a couple weeks past it.
“based on the DOJ rule of no indictments in the last 60 days before an election”
There is no such “rule” and the issue would be about indictments of a CANDIDATE, such as Joe Biden (who is not facing criminal jeopardy according to Barr).
So, lots of things might still happen wrt all the non-candidates who may be targets in the Durham (and other) investigations.
THANK YOU FOR CORRECTING KL!!! That is JUST a gentlemen agreement…OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE and I don’t care what President Trump has to use on Barr/Durham to get out to the public what took place.
This man has too live in the PRIVATE LIFE AFTER OFFICE…His businesses will be hounded like not other and the phony investigations…through the roof. He has to destroy everything in the path to get to the end. He is protecting his family
Question: Wouldn’t you?
You realise people are already voting in the Presidential Election in the fourth largest Swing State won by Obama & Trump don’t you? North Carolina
It’s too late now.
They’ve run out the clock successfully.
Nah…you might be right…but according to Sun Tzu, President Trump might hold better cards.
Oh, please. If I was holding my breath I’d be cold and blue by now.
Sit in a tub of ice cubes…your body will shrink!!!!…LOL!!!
“It is coming.”
So is Christmas. Wanna bet which one gets here first?
Have to admit I’m a skeptic. However if Barr iS the real deal, I have no doubt he has the evidence.
The problem is, no matter how much tuck tock evidence is revealed, the prosecution is always intentionally a step behind.
On a brighter note.
Assuming a smarter approach from Barr, and hopefully Durham consider these facts.
Durham investigator was already known to be hostile way back at start.
I think Sundance commented on it at the time.
Feigning incompetence and sympathy makes the victims relaxed, do TV interviews, write books thinking they are in the know.
Now the boom is lowered.
Was there inappropriate activity from moles within the investigative group to the suspects.
–
Three people have actually quit at around the same time.
She does not look happy.
I doubt she is in any position to cast flak on the investigators, rather she is hoping not to be prosecuted as well.
Just one view.
Of course they could be incompetent.
Brennan may have more fire power than we know.
Or the good guys are finally steeling their resolve and standing up.
Interesting take but … If she’s really a deep stater why wait until this late in the process when she’s already tainted by it.
Self preservation.
Or , should I say…” selfish preservation”
She’s weak. And compromised. And now exposed.
Good.
Let the chips fall where they may.
No sympathy for these evil monsters.
Betcha’ what angech alluded to, that there were tracers put into certain documents and she was found out. She was document passer…putting in a tracer would be pretty simple!!!
Which leads me to believe that everything in the Durham investigation is/are silod so that NO ONE has the entire picture EXCEPT Barr/Durham and few at the top echelons…
Definitely buying more popcorn!!!!!!!!
From your mouth to God’s ear…
To help the guilty ones build a narrative?
It’s mindblowing to me that within
all of these “ orange man bad “ groups,
no one…NOT ONE person stands up
and says
“ THIS IS WRONG !”
They’re all disgusting.
“…that by joining with the [banking] interests to exploit the people, their reelection is more certain than if they serve people who elect them. By joining the exploiters their campaign expenses are paid, the support of the ‘machines’ and the capital press is assured, and if by chance they should lose they are appointed to the same office that should suit them equally or better.”
~Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr
“PS. Hello fellas.”
lolllzz
My take is that she was only sign on to this task force for 6-12 months as was reported. It’s been 18 months now. She probably was not going to try any of the cases due to her private sector gig so now that the investigation is completed, time for her to leave.
CNN, MSNBC, Chuck Todd? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! As if that represents facts? BWAHAHAHAH?!
Everything is political. Thankfully GOD > politics
Two more resignations from DOJ today – posted on the foxnews site tonight. Rats jumping ship to hide deeper in the muck before their nest gets swamped in the election?
“It comes amid reports of other DOJ-related resignations on Friday: John Choi, who served on the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, reportedly resigned from the commission, claiming its intent was “providing cover for a predetermined agenda that ignores the lessons of the past.” Another top official – Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Morell – also left the DOJ on Friday.”
Sounds as if these folks were already in in to lose it until “someone” found Aldenburg and told him “we know” these folks are trying to crash the investigation the only way that won’t put them in prison.
I think I have a sense of what you are saying about Dannehey’s departure. I would elaborate on it a little.
A long time ago, my first professional job was at the policy level in D.C. I was very involved and committed, as were all of the significant of the significant GS-14 pluses and above, that I knew and worked with. Then some earthquake thing happened–I never knew exactly what–and my above-scale boss, who I was close to, told me in private that she was leaving and that I should consider what I was going to do.
This rattled down the chain, so to speak. My point is that everyone in our group–some 15+ significantly high level professionals–had to at that point consider what they wanted to do, since when the chief leaves, there are both opportunities and threats for all the associated. The chess pieces shift places.
If Dannehey is a significant player, her leaving will create an aftershock in personnel arrangement that we should be able to observe, if it is not purposefully hidden. There may be important information revealed to those who observe carefully.
As for me, I took the opportunity to leave government service for good, having become disillusioned with the many motives and lack of accountability.
We were told when Barr picked Durham, it was because of his take-no- prisoners style and we should have great confidence that he’ll get to the bottom of all this. I felt a sense of peace as visions of indictments and prison terms danced in my head. So why was this Norah person on his team? Who picked her. How many others like her are “assisting” in this probe?
Pvt. Idaho: I have heard that praise about so many people, I no longer believe it.
I’ve read that Durham personally chose Ms. Dannehy because they had worked together in Connecticut. Theoretically, it is quite possible for a U.S. Attorney to put aside their personal idealogy and do their job. I just haven’t seen it work in the doj and the judiciary in today’s political climate.
The swamp world is detached from the rest of us.
They think it’s them vs. us.
It’s time to scatter the bureaucracies amongst the various states so they must live among us instead of being pickled in their own self important bubble.
Good riddance to those who refuse to make the move out to flyover country. There are better people to replace them with.
Maybe that would give them a proper sense of patriotism.
At least they wouldn’t be able to plot coups on the dc cocktail circuit.
Time to permanently shutter the bureaucracies.
atomichillbilly: A great description, “bureaucracies pickled in their own self important bubble.”
It could be that Nora is a shadow move by Durham. In other words, Durham is sending the message that he is going to resign.
Nothing is going to happen.
We are being played.
PDJT does not control Barr, the FBI or the DOJ.
His hands are tied, by what I couldn’t tell you.
But it’s obvious.
I’ve noticed that President Trump tends to give people the benefit of the doubt, but the moment they cross him, he obliterates them. No hesitation whatsoever.
Is our lion is merely swatting these mice around and making them sweat, before he goes in for the kill? After all we have been through, does anybody really believe he will shrink away from his God-given duty to drain that swamp?
Puh-leez.
The swamp sure takes him seriously. I am at the edge of my seat.. because Globalists have discovered his Achilles heel: He happens to *care* deeply about the fate of the American people.
This is a hostage situation IMHO.
The DOJ and FBI will go to the ends of the earth to ensure nothing happens.
Ackman419: The doj was established by the congress to assist The President in carrying out laws. The fbi tis the investigative arm of the doj. They also have asserted their independence, and some fbi directors have even usurped the authority of the AG. The doj is in the Executive Branch with Potus at the head. He’s the boss.
I’m not sure when or exactly how it happened but the doj has decided they are independent and POTUS should not have any authority over them. Their stance is for him to become involved in their department is considered obstruction of justice. I don’t think anyone wants the AG to be a “wingman” for the president and use the doj to investigate and harass his political enemies, but I think they need some oversight and they certainly don’t get it from the congress.
So this sounds like it could be viewed as a positive development. I’ll take that.
She is a deep state cleaner with a history of fixing cases. She is the daughter of a CT judge. Her brother is also a judge.

Dannehy’s husband is connected to Mueller, who appointed him as as Director of the Terrorist Screening Center.
https://www.law.uconn.edu/faculty/profiles/leonard-boyle#
“From 2004 to 2007 Mr. Boyle served as Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Public Safety. In 2007 FBI Director Robert Mueller appointed him Director of the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Boyle returned to Connecticut in 2009 when he was appointed Deputy Chief State’s Attorney for Operations.
He is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law.”
It’s going to take honest investigators that put truth above personal gain to ask the right questions and get answers to take the necessary action toward accountability. Are there any, or at least enough of those people, in the institutionally corrupt DOJ/FBI as it currently exists?
My fear is that Barr will do what he has done: whenever any report or Congressperson recommends indictments, he says “There will be no indictments”. And that is his M.O.
…”the investigative team is being pressed for political reasons to produce a report”…
The quoted “reason” for her leaving is non sequitur…just another B/S political talking point.
Prosecutors either charge people with crimes or they don’t. They don’t create reports.
Russia, Russia, Russia investigation…delay, delay, delay…
Nothing but Anonymous sources ie; “colleagues said”…she “quietly resigned” (via email)…
Nothing but speculation from the article, to cast doubts on it’s justification…
and of course, tie the investigation to CV-19 not to it’s purpose.
“The work has taken far longer than expected”…”complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic”…
Someday I hope Sundance writes a full report on his adventures in the Deep State when he was out there with his brief, trying to change the course of history. Just the juicy tidbits he gives us every so often are astonishing.
What’s the difference between Durham and Dannehy? Cut from the same cloth I’d say.
I am watching this not from a few thousand feet above but from a few thousand miles across the Atlantic.
From that perspective the jungle drums are slowly creating a beat that there looks to be an increasing likelihood that Trump is going to win.
Could these moves be a recognition of that within the DS and an acknowledgement by them, in getting out now (a decent time before the event when their buddies would still be expecting a Trump loss) of the risks that another 4 years of a Trump presidency represents to them?
In other words, the smart rats leaving the ship or he who panics first ………………………..
Hope porn? Or popcorn time??
If this goes down… we need a Zoom call just for Treepers.. forks can wear masks if they need to …
Gateway Pundit is reporting that all signs indicate that indictments will be dropping today.
50/50 chance anything happens with AG Barr and his “investigation.”
80/20 if we re-elect our Great American President Donald J Trump on 11/3/20.
100% nothing will happen if they can cheat in B-B-B-Biden.
Let’s go Barr. Enough is enough.
“Silos” is an essential conceptual first principle. We gained a little taste of its import with the release of Priestap’s “protect our institution . . .”
Accept the following broad brush that I’ve mentioned for as long as I can remember: This was a conspiracy conducted under The Color of Law.
Rather than belabor what everyone sharp enough to pay close attention to this site already knows, I will simply note for our purposes here that when the plot to destroy Trump failed at each key juncture the risk to the participants — domestic and foreign; individual and institutional alike — increased logarithmically.
The Special Counsel team became the central node for offensive and defensive operations with, and this is of monumental importance to understanding this saga, their control of the whole shebang skin to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in Fantasia.
Not for nothing did I label these characters Fantasy Stalinists. Though while it seemed incomprehensible to me though could memory-hole their malefactions if they succeeded in destroying Trump, here we are . . . .
I’m not breaking any new ground by noting that we still haven’t had a resolve because the scope of compromise, and thus legal and reputational risk, is so wide. None of the shot callers, institutions and individuals both, are willing to take one for the team. To say nothing of whether that would even put a period on this if they were.
It’s been evident to me at least that since Trump took the oath the fortunes of the Democrat Party have been wholly subsumed to the self-protective needs of former Obama Administration conspirators. Yes, they hoped, not unreasonably, the dues ex machina of removing Trump would succeed, but in terms of priorities it hasn’t even been close. It tells us how compromised the Democrat Party is from top to bottom that that’s the case.
Given that it isn’t even close whether we should favor Trump’s reelection over a full reckoning for the malefactors, if forced to choose, I don’t think Sleepy Joe’s rise is coincidental. Certainly if no headline indictments come before the election, and Trump wins and takes the oath without the telegraphed electoral chaos, I will conclude that was the bargain behind the curtain.
Maybe the Punisher could take over in such an event, LOL.
A bit of a sidetrack, but what is that strange mess on the back of Mueller’s hand?
I have always been hopeful that The Donald is already holding The Rook and he will play to not only win the game but to end the game. I believe he is giving Barr enough rope to do the job but I also believe Donald has a set date when he will just attempt to release any documents he can so the sane can see clearly what we pretty much already know.
The lady that turned in her keys is playing games at the command of those that owner her. She is just another useless liberal from the northeast.
So quietly moving back to the private sector means she retains her clearances and can continue her nefarious actions, data gatherings, etc. as needed by the deep state.
dunewall,
Having a high level clearance doesn’t guarantee access.
Access requires two things
1) Clearance level equal to or higher than the material being looked at.
2) Need to Know.
Another point, if you worked on something and left. You CANNOT Access that information even if you created it yourself. Unless you are reinstated for that project.
Just Saying.
There were several commenters here the other day, one of which was me, alluding to Vince Flynn’s book, ‘Term Limits’, and how we thought its premise would be a likely way to fix this mess. Sadly, I think it becomes more true every day, with each revelation of corruption that something like this will be eventually be utilized to address the “mess”. The question I pose with regard to its adoption as a method is: are violent acts against corrupt elements any more wrong than the acts that seem to continue unabated/uncontested/unpunished? and if so why? Where/how is justice administered when the system designed to administer justice has failed?
No time to read all the comments, but I’ve read enough of them to sense a drift into tinfoil hat territory. So, I’ll put my two cents’ worth in. Maybe it’s as simple as Dannehy was brought in for a series of specific tasks and she finished them. Sometimes a hat is just a hat.
Bet she got caught suppressing evidence or something like that.
