This is UNREAL.
IF every white person on the plane would just start chanting:
RACIST
RACIST
RACIST
RACIST
I’m sure she would initially try to out yell them and eventually attack, but it’s what all of us NON-POCs should do EVERYTIME.
Soon you will see the Airline employees of “American Airlines” and their one world partners doing this exact thing because they have already sided with BLM (Marxist) to wear BLM lapel puns.
That “Queen” is as far from being an American as one can be and has absolutely no Respect and doesn’t even know what the word means.
Yep. Self-entitled, self-claimed diva with permanent black resting bitch face and severe racist indoctrination into black empowerment with Afro-identity bs.
Every African I worked with while in Central and Western Africa hated black Americans.
Saudi Arabia used to have a bounty for students overseas to get wives and become citizens.
White American $35k
Black American $15k
Indian (Hindi) $50k
Chinese $25k – although that has gone way down now since there is One Belt Road in Africa.
Japanese $40k
Just about every country had a bounty for their women.
I used to have the web page linked. Not active anymore.
I’ve decided to not ever fly ‘American Airlines’ again, based on discrimination against ‘blue lives matter’ hatred while approving ‘only black lives matter’.
There are other choices, including foreign airlines.
It was handled…

Ha ha ha! Perfect clip! And GREAT movie!
I’ll just be staying home. I would get myself in trouble because I wouldn’t put up with someone getting in my face like that.
She’s a Queen, everyone! She’s ROYALTY!! Bow down to her, lol!
Good luck with that. If she’s a queen of ANYTHING it’s Queen of the Failed Public School Realm, and probably has an IQ of 80.
Did she speak English?
I would love to be a fly on the wall as the D.C. appeals court judges read John Gleeson report. “It is obvious” but he cant say how. “There is clear evidence” but he cant say what evidence.
But I knew dang sure President Trump would come up and he did so in the Preliminary Statement, second sentence.
I am not a lawyer but i don’t see any law so far. Just innuendo and leftist projection. appeals court has created a monster. 240 years and they are all so short sighted.
This guy Gleeson has to loose his license. It isn’t like he is practicing law anyway.
His only evidence is mind reading.
Its ridiculous nonsense.

Prizing the President: Too Noble For Nobel
“Peace IS the Prize”
Does President Trump deserve a Nobel Peace Prize? Of course–but that’s not the question.
The first president to receive the award created by the peace-loving dynamite-inventor Alfred Nobel was Teddy Roosevelt. He earned it by mediating between the warring Russians and Japanese. Wilson won for creating the useless League of Nations, the precursor to the useless United Nations. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin were all nominated at some point, as was Gandhi, who also never won. Truman won the Big War and Reagan won the Cold War but neither were honored.
Jimmy Carter eventually got one. But Sadat and Begin had to go around him to negotiate peace because Jimmeh wanted a “comprehensive” deal that would give his terrorist pal Arafat a country. The heroic Sadat and Begin wisely ignored him. To his credit, though, Carter never used the FBI and CIA to wiretap, frame and overthrow Ronald Reagan, unlike today’s scumbag Democrats.
Al Gore won for complaining about the weather.
Barry from Jakarta knew he hadn’t earned a Peace Prize. It was an Affirmative Action gift and an in-kind campaign contribution. If he had character, he would have refused it until he earned it–which he never did. Although he did earn “ISIS JV Player of the Year”-Award.
The Committee needed a pretext to give it to him, so they dusted off an old arms treaty with Russia and re-signed it, so Obama started his presidency the way he ended it: by owing Putin favors.
By contrast, President Trump has earned the Prize several times over.
He stopped chemical attacks in Syria, took out ISIS, al Baghdadi, Solemani and has started no new wars. Despite the black lies, it is President Trump who respects our troops enough to bring them home from Endless Wars. He went to North Korea for peace. He is the only president in decades to stand up to China, using economics instead of bombs. He sponsored the Serbia-Kosovo Pact, the Arab Emirates-Israel Pact, re-invigorated NATO, strengthened ties with India and many others while weakening dictatorships around the world, whether in Iran, Gaza, China, Venezuela or Cuba.
And the Best is Yet to Come.

The question is not does our President deserve a Peace Prize, but this: Does the Nobel Prize deserve President Trump? He confers moral authority by his historic leadership. He would be doing them a favor by accepting their honor. I hope the Nobel Committee will one day be worthy of this great man.
And the Best is Yet to Come.

Lol, that is the funniest fact I heard all day!
So common among anti-Trumpers these days. Seems like pedophile liberals are everywhere.
And now we know what happened with this guy’s 180 degree swing to hating on the President. He served his usefulness, it only bought him some extra time, now they do away with him.

WARNING: Multiple sources in Emergency Response have confirmed that the fires along the West Coast are caused by dozens of arsonists. These fires are allegedly linked to Antifa and the Riots.

Justice is coming for them, one way or the other. Liberals are begging for it.
Color me not in the least bit, even a teeny, tiny little bit, surprised.
My liberal aunt was going off on climate change today, because you know, the fires in the West. PDJT’s fault, of course. I was pleased to provide her with news on the arsonists. She gets her news from my hopeless, ultra progressive millennial school teacher cousin, and if she’s not available, CNN.
Ask her why Bill Gates, the poster boy for climate change, just bought a $45 million beachfront home a few yards from the Pacific Ocean in Delmar, CA if the oceans were really rising? Same question for Obama buying a beachfront home for $15 million on Martha’s Vinyard an island 10 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. Were the oceans going to rise everywhere buy around their homes!

Here are some facts specific to the northern Oregon fires: yes, some may have been intentionally set. Yes, there are reports of black-clad individuals or other suspicious persons possibly setting fires or perceived to be setting fires. Those reports have largely turned out to either be false, or the suspects could not be found. There are no known instances of Antifa burn squads going out setting fires. There are many “outsiders” driving around acting as fire tourists in areas they don’t live in, and there is some looting going on in areas which were prematurely evac’d. The freaking out with militias in rural areas “capturing Antifa” is citizens pulling guns on each other, or their friends who were helping them evacuate. Much of the freaking out has been caused by incompetent government officials, who have no plan, but made up for it by giving out no useful information and overreacting in random areas.
I appreciate the on the ummm, ground report..(?) (Are you there?). Can you clarify your statement further: “The freaking out with militias in rural areas “capturing Antifa” is citizens pulling guns on each other, or their friends who were helping them evacuate.”
I’m not sure I believe people are pulling guns on their own friends…so….
“ I’m not sure I believe people are pulling guns on their own friends…”
Just wait until after the election…..
I know a bit about rural Oregon and people there know everyone who lives there because their families have lived there for 150 years! They don’t pull guns on each other. If ANTIFA has no problem burning stores, homes, gas stations, police cars are courthouses why would they have a problem starting forest fires?
It’s definitely been happening here in rural WA. Paranoia, and a misguided vigilante mentality. This was the first incident I recall, but there have been others since.
https://m.facebook.com/clallamcountysheriff/posts/3344925088851998
This is what occurs when strangers wander into evacuation zones. Neighborhood watches are formed.
After Superstorm Sandy, so many neighborhoods were overrun with looters that residents erected signs warning trespassers will be shot on sight. Only illiterates would enter them at that point.
I understand there are different dangers in other regions, but they were innocent tourists on vacation, not anywhere near an evacuation zone.
Our air is smoky, but none of the Olympic Peninsula has been directly threatened by fires, riots or looting. In this case the problem was armed persons over-reacting to a non-existent threat.
no worse than the government overreaction to corona … so its even …

Of course not. Sullivan should be tarred and feathered. The amicus and Sullivan should both be disbarred and put in stockades.
As her filings passed through the shredder, I am sure their response was, “What fillings?”
So, this guy is acting a her defense attorney before a case against her has been filed? Sheesh!

Paying $500 to buy girl as sex slave lands 37-year-old man in jail, Washington cops say
An underage girl missing from Richland, Washington told police that two individuals “sold” her to a 37-year-old man in Oregon for $500, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The girl was trafficked in April 2020, months after Robert Aguilera held a rifle to her head in Walla Walla, Washington and “forcibly raped” her at his sister’s house in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, documents state. She was sold to Aguilera by a 21-year-old man and another underage girl, according to the affidavit provided by the Walla Walla Police Department.
Aguilera raped the victim “multiple times in multiple localities,” including: Walla Walla, College Place and Dayton in Washington and Milton-Freewater and Pendlton in Oregon investigators said.\\Aguilera was booked into the Walla Walla County Jail on Sept. 2, according to the jail’s inmate search. His bail is set at $50,000.
He is charged with use/delivery of drug paraphernalia, first-degree assault, second-degree rape, first-degree trafficking and failure to comply with authorities, according to jail records.

CNN: ‘Adults with Covid-19 about ‘twice as likely’ to say they have dined at a restaurant, CDC study suggests’
This is a ludicrous and misleading headline. … how can such a claim be made when the majority of the population isn’t being tested and therefore is not part of this survey. This massive unknown population sample could be dining out at a rate five or fifty times greater than the few hundred thousand who have tested positive as part of the CDC study.
Just one more attempt by CNN to feed the hysteria. You best believe there are ZERO such articles planned for a post-Biden victory.

President Trump Presents the Medal of Honor to Sergeant Major Thomas Payne, United States Army
Wray’s FBI making America proud
By the tweets it doesn’t look like anybody believes the FBI.
44-year-old Mapleton man was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a first-degree arson charge in a string of fires that merged and prompted evacuations near the western Lane County community. ?♂️
https://ktvz.com/news/fire-alert/2020/09/02/mapleton-man-arrested-on-arson-charge-in-wildfires-that-prompted-evacuations/
But if someone made a loop out of rope, hung it from a tree and set it on fire, the FBI would be broadcasting it as more evidence of right-wing militancy.
Excellent observation Clivus!!
I’m surprised they didn’t blame bugaloo boys or other white supremacists.
Nobody trusts the FIB! How can you explain the fact that there are fires in CA, OR and WA all at the same time and there have been no lightning events that started these fires!
Smart fires.
https://twitter.com/intheMatrixxx/status/1304435884431990785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Ha! Weird, huh?!
AND. They (the fires) are apparently confined by the northern border . . .
I have to admit that I believe the opposite of whatever they have to say. At the very least it’s more likely than what the FBI says.
a correlation of negative 1 for ‘truth’ is just as useful as a correlation of +1.
Just where should we look for a trusted source in these times?
Oh and F the FBI
All depends on what their definition of “extremists” is actually . Maybe could be just “some people” starting fires ,Just like “ some people” did something on 9/11” ( remember that beauty )
Therefore we know the opposite is true.
I hope PDJT’s first order of business when he wins re-election is firing Wray. Like as soon as the election is called.
none of the fires were started by white supremacists (they only extremists the FBI recognizes) … ANTIFA … well maybe, but you said extremists …
Well, since the FBI thinks that only White Trump supporters are extremists I am surprised at their vehement denial of this “fact”.
Look at the many mass killers the was FBI warned and the FBI found the information given to them false…and the killer went on and murdered. So many criminals and crimes the FBI was told of and they passed on the info that one could not print them except in book form. To be honest, they couldn’t even pull off a coup without screwing it up and that’s with everyone covering for them. Some of the FBI screw ups we would even know about except that someone came forward and said they reported this person to the FBI “… and the FBI did nothing.” It took subpoenas from local agencies to get the information as the FBI would not willing admit they had information prior to the act. Great organization.
Not sure if this is good or bad, but Hartford paper says Nora Dannahey resigned last night from Durham’s team. Speculation she resigned because of pressure from Barr for Durham team to produce some type of response before election.
It’s bad. It means she has been (predictably) sandbagging the investigation, and the two dolts in charge have been clueless. Hey Hannity, diGenova, Carter, it’s finally tick tock time. Only the clock is ticking on the swampers running the DOJ. November 4th (or whatever day the smoke clears from the election) is going to epic.
We know she said that?
“The short email was a brief farewell message and said nothing about political pressure, her work for Durham or what the Durham team has produced, according to people who received it.”
Copy and paste from Courant
a ‘REPORT” ?????
when prosecution for perjury, fraud on the courts, illegal spying, denial of civil rights under color of law, entrapment, has been so easy for the past year at least, based on even public evidence ????
We don’t need no stinkin’ reports!
Straight to Adam Schiff as a whistle blower in 3.2.1.
Probably already has a book deal in the works
Before the work is done?
Imagine the lack of work effort Nora possessed.
What did you expect from Nore Dennehy who is the former Democrat appointed Deputy Attorney General of Connecticut who sued the gun manufacturer in the Sandy Hook school shooting along with FBI Agent Aldenbury while ignoring the Connecticut family court judge who refused to commit the teenage shooter after his mother hired a lawyer and pleaded with the judge that her son was mentally ill and dangerous. The mom was his first victim! The teenager shot her a dozen times! What was Durham thinking when he put two SJWs in charge of the coup investigation when they were probably cheerleaders for Mueller and Weissman!
It sounds slightly good and mostly bad.
If reports are true that she resigned Bc she was against the pressure to produce a report before election, that would imply that there will be a Durham Report which should be damning.
On the other hand, a report is not indictments. No one will read it beyond exec summary. And her resignation will provide enough fodder for Dems to try to invalidate any such report as improper election- related influence.
That being said, watching Weissman on MSNBC now: he looks worried and not exultant. So perhaps any report will knock him around a bit. Like you know for destroying evidence and stuff. Cuz like that is bad.
Preemptive strike by leftists to invalidate any action ahead of the elections. Wasn’t Norah a known concern? It was inevitable somebody would align with the evil empire to sabotage this. Barr needs to nip I in the bud…..

Simple test. Is that Hartford paper generally pro Trump or generally anti Trump?
The answer should indicate the veracity of that story.
That rag has been a mouthpiece for Connecticut’s dem establishment for decades. The story itself is full of third-hand gossip, and is obviously designed to elicit responses from Barr or Durham. Let’s wait and see what the facts are – though we won’t find them in The Hartford Courant.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-news-john-durham-dannehy-resignation-20200911-20200911-xcsapnq7g5e63kvtw5aqi7cv34-story.html
“Colleagues said Dannehy is not a supporter of President Donald J. Trump and has been concerned in recent weeks by what she believed was pressure from Barr – who appointed Durham – to produce results before the election. They said she has been considering resignation for weeks, conflicted by loyalty to Durham and concern about politics.”
The whole thing sounds like it could easily be made up.
while she was ‘considering resignation’, I’m sure she did lots of ‘investigation’ /s
“conflicted by loyalty to Durham and concern about politics”
Well, there’s your problem, right there.
Which of these things is not like the others?
1.) Loyalty to Durham
2.) Concern about politics
3.) Upholding The Law
Hint: correct answer is “3”.
There must be indictments coming and she sis not sign up for that!
Careful folks, perhaps the DOJ is setting up a fall guy, or at very least a distraction.
The article itself has no quotes from her, just a throwaway anonymous source making the claim.
It even points out that her resignation email makes no mention of political pressure and goes on to say that she left private practice to work with Durham, that she was told it would be for 6 – 12 months, but has dragged on longer than expected.
It might be true, but this take provides no evidence for it.
Which would be the Hartford Courant’s typical MO.
Well the way the corrupt leftist msm has framed her resignation it seems as if she was a deep state plant resigning right before the election due to Republican political pressure for maximum leftist propaganda value! Need more info, too early to tell whether it’s an innocent/nonpolitical resignation or something more sinister?
This. Also why they are running SLO-Joe — just DARING the Trump Administration to do ‘something’.
This is why, I believe, Barr is not doing much budging and Sundance has exhorted us to put our energy into getting our VSGPDJT re-elected: the only way any of this gets prosecuted without having any ‘blemishes’ attached is to carry it forward into his second term.
Yes, it stinks to high heaven, but our response needed to be a full-throttle ‘all-in’ for PDJT in the up-coming weeks.
FTA”Colleagues said Dannehy is not a supporter of President Donald J. Trump and has been concerned in recent weeks by what she believed was pressure from Barr – who appointed Durham – to produce results before the election. They said she has been considering resignation for weeks, conflicted by loyalty to Durham and concern about politics.”
Who are these unnamed “colleagues”? Sounds like she was someone who would have gladly worked for Mueller? Pressure from AG Barr? C’mon man! Why were there never any resignations of lawyers investigating President Trump due to pressure from the left?
Durham is not a Special Counsel as such no report should or would be issued.
News flash for Nora: Wake up and go back to sleep.. Sundance already did all the work for you. #EverybodyKNOWS.
Wouldn’t that be rich if it turned out that some of Sundance’s information indirectly highlighted her lack of effort, Nelsonian knowledge and/or transparency?
May we infer that these colleagues she confided in and who remain in the Durham probe are similarly minded and will continue to run interference?
Trying to make Barr look like he is actually doing something? Hmmmmm….
No surprise here that no Republicans are “screaming” for Durham to be “protected”!
https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1304536977035980800?s=20
See how this works against Durham, AG Barr, President Trump and WTP?
Durham has to be an idiot appointing a SJW Female who was the Democrat appointed Deputy Attorney General of Connecticut who sued the gun manufacturer in the Sandy Hook school shooting along with FBI Agent Aldenbury while ignoring the Connecticut family court judge who refused to commit the teenager whose mother hired a lawyer and pleaded with the judge to commit her mentally ill and dangerous son. Her own son!!! Mom was his first victim shot a dozen times in her own home!

Can someone help me recall? General Flynn never claimed he felt pressured to make a guilty plea did he?
Some may wonder why an innocent man would ever plead guilty. Anyone who knows how the system works in practice would understand why an innocent man—or a defendant in a close case—might be coerced into pleading guilty. The cruel reality is that if a defendant pleads not guilty and is found guilty, the sentence will be far greater than if he had pled guilty—perhaps even 10 times greater. Moreover, in this case, it is alleged that the government threatened, if Flynn did not plead guilty, to indict his son. These are the kinds of pressures routinely used by prosecutors. Civil libertarians have long been critical of these pressures, but fair-weather civil libertarians refuse to object when these improper tactics are used against Trump’s associates.
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15997/michael-flynn-innocent
Yes thank you, but Gleeson is claiming that it was incumbent on DOJ to prove Flynn’s claim of prosecutorial misconduct due to coercion. That does not seem relevant, but I cannot recall
It’s not relevant. The prosecution does not have to prove that they themselves committed misconduct to have a case dismissed.
Especially when the defense has already proven prosecutorial misconduct, lol.
Sullivan should have been removed as judge for clear bias.
Just enjoyed reading your post a second time. Great points, Thank you.
To answer your question directly. When General Flynn accepted the plea agreement he was asked in open court if there if anyone had pressured him or coerced into to taking the plea. This was done twice in open court by the judge. General Flynn stated that he had not been pressured or coerced into accepting the plea. This, however, is done in each case. If the defendant says he was pressured or coerced the judge will not accept the plea. So, at the time, General Flynn in order to protect his family answered that he had not been pressured or coerced. That is why Sullivan mused that General Flynn may have committed perjury to the court by taking the plea and telling the court, under oath, that he had not been pressured or coerced.
I do remember most of that, but I didn’t listen to the appeals court conference calls. Big part of Gleeson’s amicus was coercion and how DOJ never proved such.
Gleeson is saying this meant prosecutor corruption wasn’t proven by DOJ. Seems folded in on itself but whatever. Would this be relevant in an appeal to SCOTUS?
Not even sure the Gleeson input would be looked at in an SCOTUS appeal
BTW i dont think asshat Sullivan would take it this far if he isn’t going to try and take it all the way. He is going to sentence Flynn because D.C. appeals said he could.
Gleeson is swinging at the stars just so the media will pick it up. DOJ doesn’t have to prove anything when it dismisses a case other that “it is in the interest of justice.” A far at the perjury the judge referred to…that is also up to the DOJ to charge that as a crime: The judge has no say so….his job is too listen to the evidence presented to him, make rulings on matters of law presented, decide objections presented to him in jury cases, and charge a jury. The judge has no authority to prosecute a case, further investigate a case presented to him and has no authority to instruct the prosecution to continue a case once the DOJ decides to drop a case. That is why this is so ridiculous. It is clearly a separation of powers matter. The judge is merely trying to draw media attention and damage both the DOJ and General Flynn.
So I am no lawyer, but enjoy discussing with all the nice lawyers on CTH and had fun with that post.
Seems like if I was Sullivan and had gone this far I would sentence Flynn. I realize The General should be free but it seems the whole of the case is partisan politics anyway.
I thought if Sullivan sends General Flynn to prison and there is an appeal to SCOTUS would this Gleeson point be a place for Sidney to attack on appeal.
I dont recall General Flynn ever claiming coercion. It seems like asshat Gleeson pulled that out of left field.
I am not even sure the Amicus would come up in appeal. Amicus seems like a BS out for judges and easily abused.
BTW i bet there are a lot of cases on Sullivans calendar that are watching closely and appeals being teed up for many previous cases. dems cant think more than 30 seconds into the future
It’s actually worse. The DOJ threatened the Law Firm, because they also represented Flynn’s company that would be used for the FARA filings. They signed off on those filings putting them in the hotseat beside Flynn and his son. So then Flynn’s legal team told him to plead guilty because they were under threat by the FBI, while telling Flynn the FBI were going to come for his son and neglected to tell him that the FBI was coming for them too.
So the FBI and his legal team were conspiring against him in a conspiracy. That should be grounds for mistrial and dismissed with prejudice.
I had forgotten that part. Lots of silk stocking conspiracy to me. I am thinking ahead to an appeal to Supreme Court. Mentioned above that Sullivan is going for broke in my book. Why would he go this far without trying to score ? Can Gleeson’s third party input be brought up on appeal to SCOTUS?
Not sure how you define “pressured.” If having the DOJ prosecutors threaten to prosecute your son and having exhausted almost all of your financial assets is not “pressure” in your mind, then no. He only cited those two reasons as the primary drivers behind his decision to agree to the plea deal.
Personally I’d call it being under extreme pressure, but that’s just me.
Correct THX. but he never stated this to the court. DOJ just dropped charges as I recall. But I cant recall the en banc hearings
Here you go. This is not what I remember
Remember Gleeson has an audience of one, Judge Sullivan. The judge can pretend not to know lots of things and instead just focus on what Gleeson puts in front of him. A lack of curiosity is essential for these guys to be able to pull off all the various schemes that leftists pull off. More Mamet principle in action.
These Amicus briefs seem like elastic clause for a way out. Seems like easy abuse
Well, in regular parlance, I believe the word that best describes what occurred to him IS NOT ‘pressured’, but rather ‘extorted’ . . .
no, he didn’t “claim” it … he didn’t have too … they threaten his son openly … he was pressured … nice try troll …
… just as I was getting all warm and fuzzy from the American Left’s pronouncements about believing in science …
George Floyd’s body contained a lethal dose of fentanyl at autopsy, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
Bingo, Crump! George Floyd killed himself.

JUST ANNOUNCED.
Today one of Durham’s Top Prosecutors (Federal prosecutor Nora Dannehy) resigned over “pressure from Barr to produce indictments before the elections”.
YEAH! One small victory for CTH and the deplorables!
She meant the 2032 elections.
Can’t rush these things…
LOL!
Do we believe that is the reason she resigned?
No. Never believe anything.
It reads like she may have only resigned from the Durham investigation, not her DOJ job. Anyone?
You can assert anything in these briefs, as I have heard. Having proof is something else altogether.
Gleeson is saying both Gen. Flynn and AG Barr are criminals. Everybody’s guilty of political corruption–except Sullivan, Gleeson and Sally Yates’ lawyer.
This is why Barr should have fired van Grack and brought malicious prosecution charges. But Barr wants it both ways.
Although I can’t “prove it” – it appears AG Barr either wants it both ways as you say, or he is paralyzed into inaction because of the fear of being held accountable. In other words, it looks like he doesn’t know whether to have a “movement” or to vacate the outhouse.
SAD
Treehouse has a tweet about a top prosecutor working for Durham has resigned amid concerns about “political pressure” being brought to bear by Barr to produce some results.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!
I was immediately very concerned when I first heard that this big-time Democrat had returned to the DOJ from the corporate world and immediately joined Durham’s team for this investigation. What the heck is he doing appointing a big-time Dem, who probably hates Trump, as his right-hand man on this investigation?
Apparently, my concerns are well-founded, because now she’s resigning for political reasons.
However, how much evidence did she come across and decide to bury before she quit?
This does not bode well for the Durham probe.
If the story is true then isn’t the investigation better off without her?
It’s possible Barr offered her a resignation rather than being fired. She was a KNOWN anti-Trump and probably offered too many of her opinions during the investigation.
An excellent point that I never even considered. My disillusionment with inaction is clouding my senses.
Read the article. Typical unsourced hearsay masquerading as “news”. It’s linked elsewhere in this thread and on TLR twitter.
Nbc news reporting now that too deputy in durhams Russia probe resigns.
Apparently Nora Dannehy
SD be aware
perhaps a possible ‘leaker’ or supporter to the coup conspirators has been removed?
She knew long ago that Barr ‘promised’ actions by the end of summer. Summer is over. So is she.
Is it ethical for her to assert the Durham investigation, in which she has participated on a confidential basis, is unethical?
It could also be just as probable the investigation is doing what it is supposed to and they DeepState Democrats need to paint the picture of a biased investigation.
This is my opinion. She probably tried to stall as much as possible and is concerned that it is out of her control.
auscitzmom??
Maybe they got copies of the Sundance report?
May be.
Lawfare will have to find two more empty desks
It’s all about making whatever comes out of Durham/ Barr.. “tainted” and political…
Get her out of there…she probably is the pipeline to Lawfare.
Could be that Lawfare organized this to delegitimize the investigation.
Dannehy may come out with a book in 3, 2, 1…
Severance pay.
So a@uscensusbureau worker came to my house to ask if I’d answer questions about my neighbor. Is that even legal?
(This also happened to us yesterday too…is it legal?)
Probably, but it is not illegal for you or anyone else to tell them to take a hike
Yes… My Husband worked as a Temp this year for the Census… It’s nearly impossible to get some people to respond ..Asking the neighbor is all they have sometimes.
the one time I got the long form and took it as a mad lib and filled it out…..then the wife saw it……
I dont get to handle anything government related any more.
LOL! She just wants to keep you both out of jail!

That may be, but the problem is EVERYONE was using that language. In fact… they still are.
Not a flaw, but a feature.
Redpilled liberal Jim Kunstler has written an excellent and concise piece laying out the state of our country at the present moment. I’m assuming he follows the action here, and it’s obvious he’s a patriot who deeply loves our country. Well worth the short read. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2020/09/11/when-there-are-no-consequences-for-anything/
He’s the real deal. Lefty a bit, but not malicious, and has honest and well thought out opinions of social criticism. Always an enjoyable read.
Some of these democrats were in fact clueless idealists who simply didn’t realize they were aiding and abetting the enemy. After the flag burning and kneeling to our National Anthem, cultural Marxism (cancel culture) removing God from the pledge at DNC convention (and Kate Smith’s iconic rendition of God Bless America from the airwaves), the toppling of American monuments, censorship and rewriting of American history, the rise of Antifa and BLM terrorists AND the Chinese plandemic..
..not to mention UN’s Open Borders initiative for trafficking migrant slave laborers, outsourcing our manufacturing, medical supplies and medicine production to Asian sweatshops.. only the dumbest of rocks persist in towing the Dimmie line. Those who stubbornly remain on that plantation are certainly lacking in critical thinking skills.
I guess it’s futile to even bring up UN’s Agenda 21 New/ One World Order Totalitarianism. These flower children just can’t see the forest for the trees.
Barr may be a lot of things (some not so good), but he isn’t stupid.
No way he is pressing for fast results without knowing they should be ready to deliver ….. IF some people like Dannehy weren’t purposely dragging their feet.
My guess is that Durham and Barr both KNOW that she was delaying all she could and they insisted she stop stalling and wrap up her part. She got pizzed and decided to make a pre-emptive political play.
The local newspaper article actual says that this is not mentioned in her brief farewell email message to colleges
They were making her work during a china virus and stuff.
That was the last delay, right?

No sir. Let them bask in their glory.
Notice the AP slant.
Why won’t the Dems put in a sub for him? State Election laws (not Georgia) that I am familiar with allows it.
Georgia law says a candidate who withdraws less than 60 days before the election cannot be replaced on the ballot.

..Fauxi implying that China’s plandemic will cause more problems after President Trump is reelected? How surprising! That must be one smart virus to heed the election result, much like all those “wild” fires on the left coast, which inexplicably stop at the Canadian border.

Yikes! ?
So this group of Special Counsel attorneys erased their phones in a statistically illogical manner. Cell phones that represented the provenance of their communications while prosecuting the President of the United states of America. Did they not think that this information might be needed say 100-200 years from now for History’s sake, regardless of the outcome of their investigation.
Additionally and without considering the outcome of the various investigations, A.G. Barr owes it to past, present and future Americans to let us know what the hell happened. The only folks bitching about this are the ones that want a new and different America.
destruction of government records is a crime.
But Barr and Horowitz do not care unless it is done by an “ordinary’ citizen without ‘connections and protections’.
I don’t have a deep enough score card. Evidently Norah Dannehy, a ‘top aide’ for Durham has resigned. If I remember hearing this name before and it would be a good thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_Dannehy
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-aide-john-durham-resigns-doj-russia-probe
The story said she was resigning because she felt pressured the produce a report that she felt was politically motivated…this serms like good news, I’ll wait for the boomerang on why it actually is not
1. The ARROGANCE to commit lawlessness on Government phones.
2. The KNOWLEDGE they could effortlessly cover their tracks.
3. With full confidence odds are high they won’t be punished.
4. Knowledge the Liberal MSM would cover up their deeds.
In my opinion, whoever wrote the FBI statement that there were no extremists lighting fires should be fired immediately. They have outed themselves as an ally of the extremists. There is no way on earth that a complete investigation could have been done while fires are still breaking out. Therefore, it is obvious that they are providing cover for said extremists. There is no other logical explanation for why a statement like this would be released so quickly. It’s an effort to control the narrative, not to find the truth. Fire them now.
FBI is fake news?
Ya, I also saw a post earlier, with a link, on 2 arson arrests related to the fires. ??♀️
