Quite a bit of attention today to a release of information by Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham [LINK HERE]. However, missed in most reviews is a duplicitous motive for Graham to claim “the primary source for the Steele dossier was likely a Russian agent.”
In essence, Graham is promoting a defense previously explored by James Comey that investigative elements of the FBI were duped by a Russian disinformation campaign; and as a consequence their investigative efforts were done under the most honorable of motives, but they were just tricked by Russians. Ergo, see the Russians did interfere in the election.
That’s the justification narrative, and now Lindsey Graham has positioned everyone to support it; because the alternative is the DOJ and FBI knew it was Russia-centric and were coordinating to achieve a goal provided by the use of that disinformation campaign as purposefully fed by Chris Steele.
Just to drive home the point: the FBI wasn’t duped. The FBI knew all along the Steele Dossier was a bunch of junk nonsense from political opposition research; but they needed it, to underscore the Carter Page FISA…. which they needed to justify the surveillance.
Former FBI Director James Comey and Lindsey Graham are both promoting the same “FBI duped” justification narrative. Now, is it a surprise the only witness agreeing to appear before Graham’s committee prior to the election is… wait for it…. yep, James Comey.
Imagine that.
What a coincidence.
Also, notice this from the recently released series of text messages?
Why didn’t OIG Michael Horowitz write about these controversial text messages in his IG report on FBI conduct during the 2016 election? The report where he couldn’t find any “evidence of investigative bias”….
The Government provided copies of the production with all necessary redactions for public dissemination. These documents evidence stunning government misconduct that mandates the immediate dismissal of this wrongful prosecution. The Government’s redacted production of last evening, September 23, 2020
Did the Weissmann special counsel hide those text messages as part of their control effort over any release from the DOJ and FBI throughout their tenure?
Rhetorical question.

Lindsey should put her skirt away and just go home.
Left is killing Lindsey.
Lindsey was on Fox and Friends “begging” for donations for his reelection
Also on a talk radio show doing the same…
Isn’t the RNC funding him like the DNC does to dirtbag marxists like Ted Lieu?
If not, what a strange party.
Lindsay has money so the RNC is funding those in really tough races and tight funding.
Same as always; Lindsay’s been around for a long time. He’s got money and is running his campaign as if he’s losing but I just don’t see it happening; maybe I’m wrong…..

New management at Boeing is holding on to their lobby cash to try to save their company…. Lindsey campaign is not a priority.
The irony- they are doing to Lindsey what Lindsey does to his voters: uses them and throws them away when they are no longer needed.
lindsey should be prosecuted for years of grift as a globalist stooge which makes him a traitor to We The People and lying his @$$ off right now as usual.
I prefer charging miss Lindsey with seditious conspiracy to overthrow a duly elected President rather than just sending him home with all his ill gotten gains. Maybe I’m the only one.
Lindsey sent a solicitation mailing to me to send him money- I sent him a scorching response (prepaid by him of course). Needless to say I get no more mail from him. Another one that deserves the appropriate, SPIT!
Rhi316,
I wholeheartedly agree, along with McConnell, Cornyn, Barrasso and all of McConnels acolytes, …Ryan too.
McConnells silence is deafening.
He and Ryan, McStain and Graham, THEY were the ones who instigated it ALL.
THEY are what is “at the bottom of it” and Lindsey is doing just what I said all along he would do;
INVESTIGATE TO EXHONERATE.
JUST like Fast/Furious
JUST like IRS/TEA PARTY
JUST like Benghazi
Don’t ask the right questions,…
Exhonerate the buerocrats who carried it out, MAINTAIN the Russia interference narrative, and shield the instigators (Republican leadership) from being exposed AS the instigators.
He going EXACTLY according to script.
Remember, Congressional committees don’t have guns and badges, they can’t arrest, indict or prosecute anyone.
But what they CAN do, is shape a narrative, and THATS there function.
It is NOT “Oversight”, it is protect the buerocracy, in order to protect themselves.
Except for this time Dutch, We the People have the evidence being shared with us. Now, Lindsey is stuck trying to tell us not to believe our lying eyes but to believe his lying mouth instead.
It’s getting harder and harder for any of the swamp rats to do that.
Yup. Its what Sundance has described as Barrs dilemma, transferred to Graham and the Swamp as a whole.
Its not so much covering up, as trying to reconsile what we already know, with the narrative they WANT us to accept.
They have been relying on the notion that gradually, all the facts could come out (and they could survive and maintain control) as long as they achieved TWO things;
#1) maintain this myth of “Russian interference” which excuses the small group.
#2) conceal the obvious KEY role played by Congressional Republicons in initiating and supporting the coup, from day one.
The first, DOES require the exposure of documents, and following bread crumbs. The latest revelations, for instance.
WHY would they suddenly percieve the need for liability insurance, if they were being duped by Russian disinfo?
WHY would they have a battle with their conscience, as texts/emails detail?
However, the SECOND just requires an objective review of the conduct of Congressional Republicon leaderships publicly observed behavior, since the escalator ride.
Actions and inactions of McConnell and Ryan can only be reconciled ONE way. Its right there in front of us, they CAN NOT explain it away.
The emperor is buck NAKED.
And the pages of Ol’ Lindsey’s script are getting well worn from the page turning…Pretty soon there won’t be any pages!!!!!!
Well, they have Gowdys fingerprints ALL over them, as Gowdy was “point man” for the 8 years of Obiden, using the same “play book” to do the same thing.
Maybe the playbook is entitled “Investigate to Exhonerate”,…
But maybe its title is “How to serve people”, and its a COOK BOOK?
The Cook Book would I am quite sure be an ENTHRALLING ONE!!!!!
DAMN GOOD IDEA ON THE COOKBOOK!!!!
A good meme would be Graham, with such a book under his arm, as people are boarding a plane, wearing masks.
And then someone running up and shouting “NO, its a COOK BOOK!”
Truth, so far stranger than fiction, that we truly ARE in the Zone!
Perfect summary, Dutch:
“In a nutshell”
“The whole shooting match”
“Bought & paid for”
“End of story” – they hope.
Yeah, their problem is,….
HOPE is NOT a Strategy!
🙂
Rhi, re: your 1st paragraph: You’re not the only one.
Your 2nd paragraph: At least Graham’s campaign gets the message when you scorch. My “Republican” Senator continues to send me mail no matter how ugly my responses. He’s not up for re-election, but we hear he’s aiming for the Governor’s seat in 2022. The junk mail that arrives chez nous will start to explode in volume in 3-2-1…
Here we go again….and the fact that Miss Lindsey is in control of the judiciary committee means nothing will be exposed. Unfortunately, the good people of S. Carolina need to hold their noses and vote for this traitorous piece of human garbage as the country can not afford to lose the Senate. I am more concerned with this as it would be over.
Hannity is what I call controlled-opposition and the “puppet-master” is Ryan, who is in turn controlled by Soros.
The US Congress, for the most part, is beyond corrupt. The entire SSCI was involved with the cover-up and they KNEW the FISA warrants were without cause.
As has been discussed, Barr will do nothing.
PDJT needs to declassify all of it and release it.
In this article we’re told “The ICA is a key focus of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing investigation into the origins of the “collusion” probe.”
Yet a NYT article yesterday “members of Durham’s team have indicated Durham Now Investigating Clinton Foundation.”
Another article posted “Durham’s team members have suggested to others that they are comparing the two investigations as well as examining whether investigators in the Russia inquiry flouted laws or policies”.
Today ZH Sara Carter article “McCabe is now in Durham’s crosshairs, along with multiple other former senior FBI officials that were involved in the investigation, according to a source with direct knowledge.”
Folks all of this has been known and written about months ago. Ask yourself why all of a sudden we’re to believe Durham’s team is leaking like a sieve?
Then ask yourself “Why are we seeing this now?” and “Who is behind it?”
Are we being softened up for the big nothing burger before the election because Durham is now onto all these new leads?
Ever since the “Steele dossier” proved to be completely bogus, its defenders have been excusing its equine fecal content as being “Russian disinformation;” as opposed to just a bunch of happy horseshit fabricated by Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS. However we know it’s not Russian disinformation because Alexandra Chalupa divined a Trump-“Russia-connection” for the purpose of “manipulating [the] U.S. … [Presidential] election” months before Alexander Downer, Stephan Halper and Christopher Steele.
If it was an unknowing FBI/DOJ being duped by Russia, WHY did they need liability insurance???
WHY did they wrestle with their conscience, with conscience losing, as one put it in a text?
Graham is peddling b.s., and its not even well prepared b.s. Just sticking a cowpie on a plate, and sayin “There you go, that’ll be $40 million, please!”
Whatever (paid) participation some ethnic Russians might have had, it was the financing of a Chinese agent named Hillary that probably mattered most….
No surprise at all of duplicitous behavior by Grahamnesty. I cannot understand why ANY self-described “patriot” or “conservative” puts ANY faith in this inveterate swamp dweller and “humble” Hannity should try to get this photo scrubbed from the internet.
Lindsey was a big friend of that royal asswipe John McCain. How anyone could ever trust him is beyond me.
We are in total agreement. Don’t even get me started on McCain, the POW “hero.” (I was an escort officer for one of the POWs who returned in 1973 and as such was privy to classified files about the truth of the POW “experience.”)
I read that McCain committed suicide, when presented with the crimes that he had been accused of. He did not die of natural causes.
Does anyone have any proof of this?
Never heard this but then I did not really pay much attention to anything about McCain.
From what I read, it was almost a certainty that he killed himself. He was nailed for all the criminal things that he did, especially in terms of not looking out for his prisoner of war colleagues.
There was something very weird going on during his endless funeral ceremonies. There were the notes that were passed to the bushes, the clinons and the obamas, that brought very strange looks to their faces.
I believe the notes were stashed in GHWBush’s funeral programs.
As I said, I do not actually know. I try very hard not to make any conclusions in such matters without actual facts. Far too many on “our side” appear to share the view of our enemies about what “evidence” really is.
As they showed in the farce investigation of the “Ukrainian phone call,” they believe innuendo, assumptions, multiple level hearsay by biased “witnesses” and outright lies constitutes “evidence.” Sadly, far too many “patriots” are doing exactly the same thing.
Who knows how many times McCain “tried” killing himself when he was a Naval Aviator. However, he killed a lot of people trying.
I doubt there is anyone who has survived “suicide” as many times as McCain. The guy was a total no good bastard.
The minute I saw the tease for this article in my inbox I was furious! I knew exactly what it was about, as lindsey grahamnesty has promoted this from the very beginning. Without falling for the bs that was put out EVERYWHERE, I knew from the beginning there was no Russian interference, as probably did everyone else here.
Then it hit me. Our ESG President knows that there was NEVER any Russian interference, nor some agent that wrote this dossier, etc…
Has the ever lying rino traitor bbf of no name just sealed his fate??? Did lindsey loving suck up cuck sean vannity just do something similar as well?
I pray that he has. Those of you who feel that is blasphemous you’ll just have to forgive me, I cannot help it.
We cannot Make America Great Again if this is allowed to happen this way as it is NOT TRUE. NO DEALS!!!
@jumpinjarhead – many folks involved with the POWs return have made similar statements. Even some of the POWs themselves have made direct accusations about McShame. Not even hearing those allegations, all you have to do is look at his behaviors since his return – cheating on injured wife with beer distributor heiress, his voting record illustrating his abandonment of mil service members, recent pics of him with Miss Lindsay posing with terrorist leaders in mideast…he’s was a traitor back then and since a corrupt politician. Good riddance.
And in spite of all that (and much more) he rose to great prominence in the Senate and even as repub candidate for POTUS!
While I hear much criticism of him and a system that could raise him to such “importance” I rarely hear these same “patriots” acknowledge that none of this could have happened if Americans were actually virtuous themselves in terms of their own values and their being good citizens (involved and knowledgeable enough to actually hold politicians accountable).
We point fingers at others when at bottom WE are getting what we deserve.
Interesting. Can’t divulge where and when, but I read the tome that was the Senator’s debrief upon his return.
He certainly marched to a different drummer.
Yeah jumpin, crystal clear Pawn Vanity is GOPe swamp protector. Think Paul Rino is pulling his strings, “be a good little puppet Sean… or else”.
I think the collapse of his family and personal life is the best and saddest indicator of his current state. The saying “wealth corrupts and great wealth corrupts greatly is very true in his case.”
I certainly don’t support most of what he does but don’t want to give Chucky another vote in the Senate. The best case scenario at this point would be for him to be re-elected and resign shortly after; for what ever reason he wishes to cite. The SC Governor would then appoint another Senator.
If Jamie wins; he will cancel out any vote from Tim Scott. I have a hard time supporting that too. “The lesser of evils”? Sometimes choices are hard!
I agree, best case scenario at this point. We can’t afford to lose a seat for Trump right now.
My comments about him should not be taken to mean I would EVER want any of our overt (and now clearly EXISTENTIAL and MORTAL) enemies to replace him or any of the other cowards and CINOs in Congress.
I fervently pray and hope for revival across America (our ONLY real hope in my view) that will result in moral and courageous true PUBLIC SERVANTS returning to our broken government at all levels.
Jumpingjarhead,
Hannity is probably proud of that photo. He has Lindsey on his show just about every night. They are on the same page.
Yet another reason I stopped paying the slightest attention to Hannity years ago and FoxNews in general about a year ago. I am very selective as to who or what I give my time to as every minute I give to someone like Hannity is a minute I have forever lost.
Hannity’s ex name Lindsey in the divorce settlement?
Couldn’t help myself.
? haha
I hope there are some plea deal or indictments before election along with semi report.
PTrump may keep this info for negotiation when Biden and democrat wouldn’t agree on election result on same night. Democrats can do anything to keep Obama name out of Obamagate.
1 + 1 = 0 (Zero)
Words to play with…
Lindsey Graham “the primary source for the Steele dossier, was likely a Russian agent”…
That’s how I first read this. LOL!
Well, it was he and no name-not a war hero that brought the dossier to fruition.
You can read that as Hillary Clinton is a Russian agent
Because it’s her product
So, does Lindsey know that his old buddy John McCain was part of the effort to relay the dossier?
Was there any mention of that?
What I could not understand, from the moment it first hit the news about the “Golden Showers” it was so absurd – President Trump, a notorious germaphobe – does not scan, does not compute!
But shamelessly, the Democrats and their allies in the news media continued to push the stupid story –
the members of the news media that helped the Democratic Party leadership put across this garbage have totally failed in their duties as members of the “Fourth Estate” . . . maybe they all think the “Fourth Estate” means those members of their profession who get paid off so well, they have at LEAST four houses!
sue, I think Lindsey is knee deep in the setup. He admitted he told McCain he should give the dossier to the FBI. Lindsey is in waaay deep.
He probably made a deal with Comey to bail each other out, which explains why he’s willing to appear at the hearing so the narrative can be advanced in public.
What’s really hard is the chance to vote Lindsay OUT, in this election, when we need EVERY Republican we can get. His challenger, Harrison, is putting up an excellent fight, God bless him!
Shouldn’t need to be voted out if he’s as screwed as he should be. He should be taken out in cuffs.
He’s a POS that doesn’t belong in any position of power to affect the state of our union.
IT is rumored that he is implicated in Ukraine corruption as well. That’s why he hasn’t had any hearings. It’s probably all connected?
“In essence, Graham is promoting a defense previously explored by James Comey that investigative elements of the FBI were duped by a Russian disinformation campaign; …..Just to drive home the point: the FBI wasn’t duped. The FBI knew all along the Steele Dossier was a bunch of junk nonsense from political opposition research; but they needed it, to underscore the Carter Page FISA…. which they needed to justify the surveillance.” – Sundance
To believe that the FBI was duped then Graham must also believe that Hillary was duped? But I thought there was no dossier until Hillary demanded one be developed and would pay for it? The Steele dossier was prepared for Hillary’s smearing of President Trump by Fusion GPS and Nellie Orh. As someone posted early today the dossier seems more like it was based on Hunter Biden’s escapades and all they did was change out his name and replace it with President Trump! I wonder if this isn’t Graham’s attempt to help Comey out, help restore his ruined reputation? I could be all wrong?
If memory serves me correctly, and it does, it was republicans who first began this dossier nightmare and it was to serve hot tub bubble boy marco rubio in the beginning.
“But they’re Senators. And this is their game, their rules. We assume it’s ours, but it’s not.”
This is within Sidney Powell’s released document page 11–likely a Strzok and Page text dated May 18 2017–the day after Mueller is made head of the Specious Counsel, and two months after the Carter Page FISA is leaked by Wolfe–‘burr and warner’ are named in the text?
Lindsey Graham proves that he is in ‘the game’ as he is protecting Page and Strzok’s former boss–Comey–who likely can blow the whistle on Graham and his Senate cronies, especially those on the SSCI who abetted the conspiracy.
This April, Marco Rubio and a unanimous Senate Select Committee on Intelligence affirmed and supported the phony ICA that fixed the blame on Russia for interference in the 2016 election. They determined this assessment to be ‘sound and untainted by politics.’ It actually was a hurriedly produced false flag document, ‘unequivocally tainted by politics.’
Just as the FBI was using Carter Page to forger Russian fingerprints on the Trump campaign, Steele was using Danchenko to forger Russian fingerprints on the Dossier. Steele was laundering information apparently fed and created for him by Danchenko, and Nellie Ohr–contract employee for (Fusion GPS).
No, you don’t have it wrong, but too limited.
Hillary was NOT thinking, in 2015, about needing “an insurance policy, in case Trump wins”; she was so confident of winning, because of the manufactured October Surprise she had paid $3 million for.
Obama was as shocked as she, when PDJT won, so HE wasn’t thinking about it, either.
But REPUBLICONS watched DJT knocked their “best” aside like bowling pins, take the lead in the polls with the escalator ride, and STAY there despite all they could do to try to stop him.
Brennan, Comey, McCabe are experienced Swamp rats, who have survived and advanced to the highest levels, by being cautious, always on the alert for threats to their career, from subordinates or superiors, their creed is CYA.
THEY didn’t come up with the plan, Congressional Republican leadership did, and assured them if the Insurance plan needed to be implemented, Republicans would do their part.
And they have; Republicons protect the coupists, and the coupists don’t tell it was Republicons who initiated the coup.
Dutchman, BEST quote of the AM, thus far 😉 “…they were ONLY on the alert for threats to their careers…” They all never cared about REAL threats to America, it was all about them. Not enough for them to spend their lives in Gitmo, public hangings/firing squads would work for me.
Actually, I am QUITE fond of Public hangings; that is officially sanctioned, as a result of trials and convictions.
Lynchings, not so much. However, if it DOES come down to US, taking our country back, …..
Tar and feathering appeals, a LOT! THEY have exhibited unbelievable levels of HUBRIS, arrogance, etc. T &F IS painful, but mainly its humiliating, degrading even. I keep seeing certain leaders of Congress, covered in pine tar and feathers, precariously perched on a rail, and after riding the rail, to much jeering and catcalls, unceromoniously dumped.
Comey, brennan, McCabe, sure hang em high. The people BEHIND the coup, THOSE are the ones who are drawing the focus of my cold anger, and death is too good for them.
Permanent removal from power, and being forced to live with that, stripped of wealth, etc.
Dutchman after thinking about your reply I agree with you. I believe AG Barr is afraid of pulling out just one more card because the whole house would collapse and both parties along with the DOJ/FBI/IC would be indicted/destroyed and that scares the crap out of him into inaction!
Your take, much like Sundances recent post, implies Barr is “conflicted” in his mission.
Possible, but I personally am not buying it. Barr APPLIED for this job, when he wrote the op-ed, months before his confirmation.
He said JUST the right things, to thread the needle in order to GET confirmed.
IF he truly took the job, in order to FIX the DOJ/FBI. and to repair its tattered reputation, he could have and should have done the things Sidney Powell has enumerated.
And he could/should have done them on DAY ONE, in order to send a message that withilding brady material, and weismann style prosecutorial terrorism tactics are NOT acceptable.
He did NOT, therefore sending the OPPOSITE message; that he would bondi over the damage, put on a new coat of paint, and say “Carry on”.
Oh, and its not JUST, or even primarily the DOJ/FBI and IC that would be exposed that ‘scares’ them. THATS already HAPPENED.
Its the involvement of Congessional leadership, the Uniparty that Barr is protecting.
He is shredding the image and reputation of his supposedly prescious institutions, in order to protect CONGRESS, impure and simple.
So the uniparty scum continues to collude and hide the truth…except WE KNOW!
Keep it up Lindsey…that race is pretty tight in South Carolina.
Lindsey sucks.
There HAS been much speculation as to his orientation, but I really don’t want to know,WHAT he does behind closed doors, much less the details of HOW he does it,…its TOO MUCH INFORMATION.
Yuuuch!
🙂
What do they have on him????
Stupidity
CNN)GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday that he told the late Sen. John McCain to turn over the dossier of Trump-Russia allegations to the FBI, pushing back against President Donald Trump’s assertions that the Arizona Republican helped fan the flames of the Russia investigation.

Most people thought is was a sick joke inserting Russia helped PDJT it was absurd. Now thanks to Sundance and understanding more, I totally believe that Putin preferred Clinton as she was a money hungry evil witch, and he could out smart her at any time. What really solified that was hearing Putin speak regarding the election and being surprised that PDJT won was this word he said in Russian “casna rec” meaning Holy word, that is never used lightly saying honest to God, he said just that. I am not on Putin’s side, however am on the Orthodox faith side and we never say that unless it is the truth. I was stunned when he said that, even though we all knew Russia had nothing to do with your election.
Thank You , Donna ?
Interesting to learn these things from
Your Heritage and Perspective ?
Happy Friday ?
Thanks for that very interesting tidbit. I was watching RT quite regularly in the run-up to the 2016 election, and while it is true that they seemed to be biased towards Trump, I gather it was because they wanted to embarrass and weaken the person (Hillary) whom they assumed would be the next president.
Putin goes for blessings to Patriarch Kirill.
“What is he? He is not an Eastern Orthodox cleric. He is Agent Mihailov, of the Soviet KGB, that is proven. A second-rate Soviet cop coming to me to say what is true and not true? Excuse me,” Simeonov said.
“This Kirill is not descended from heaven…he is not the messenger of the Lord God or Jesus Christ,” Simeonov said. “Kirill is known as the cigarette metropolitan of Russia. From 1996, he got $14 billion from importing non-proprietary cigarettes,” the deputy prime minister said.
Simeonov said that Kirill had a private aircraft, a villa in Switzerland, a $30 000 watch “and he has the insolence to give judgment in front of the Bulgarian President”.

Donna says, ‘he said in Russian “casna rec” meaning Holy word,’
This is not in Russian. Maybe i am too old to understand. Can you provide a link?
What comes to mind is a Russian word фуфло.
but it wasn’t really a very good job of “pushing back” I think!
he made things worse for himself
Light in the loafers?
A lot. McStain and Graham were the collectors of bribes, for selling U.S. Military aid, both in Ukraine and in ME, to ISIS (operation zero footprint).
ANY military aid needs to be voted on by Congress, so McStain and Graham collected the Republicon cut, and Durbin and Chuck collected for the Dems.
And, they were,all in, on the insurance policy. First, find ANY reason to get Flynn out, post haste.
Then, find ANY reason to appoint a SC, and then have that special council harras the hell outa PDJT, do the most eggregious and outrageous things, to trigger PDJT into firing them.
“After all, he’s almost copy writed “Your Fired!”
Then, the Senate Republicons can justify, COLLECTIVELY saying “No one is above the law, not even the POTUS!”
And, “This is just like Nixons Sat. Nite massacre!” and, collectively say they have the votes to convict, in order to force PDJT to resign, conveniently without them having to actually VOTE.
THAT was the plan,…and Weismann/Mueller tried harder than George Costanza, to get fired.
Illegally raided PDJT’s inaugeration committee.
Maliscious prosecutions right and left.
Raided his personal lawyers offices/house, illegally piercing atty/client priviledge.
Leaked false info, pursued stormy, etc.
ALL designed to get PDJT to fire them, so he could be impeached for “Obstruction of Justice” for firing a,SC that was investigating him.
And the plan ORIGINATED with the Congressional Republicon Leadership, Graham was IN on it, up to his scrawny neck, along with McStain, McConnell, Ryan, etc.
He’s corrupt.
If the FBI/DOJ conspirators go down, they take the Senate co-conspirators with them. It’s like any other mob family once the dominoes start to fall.
Now if a “hit man” working for the coup would just start singing like a canary …..
Sean showing Lind how to hold the chicken nugget to make it look like its gold.
That is a most ridiculous picture. So ridiculous it makes my tin foil hat rattle and my brain think it’s some kind of cabal signal.
Yeah, it’s late & those two clowns with their phony smiles make my head ache!
Funny that they are both posing with chicken 😉
Let me guess. No indictments will result in the exercise of one’s right to a trial by jury as the evidence accumulates. All charges will be quietly accepted without the inconvenience of proving any actions taken were not seditious. The people in charge at the FBI, CIA, and DOJ were just cautious doofuses, and the Senate has cleansed the system.
That’s a real confidence builder.
That assumes Barr doesn’t bring a serious enough charge against anyone that could put someone in their forties, fifties, or sixties away for life. Just thinking out loud here.
Don’t you GET it? Barr was SELECTED by McConnell, the mastermind OF the coup.
Barr will do NOTHING, NEVER WAS going to do ANYTHING, but obsfuscate.
THATS whatvhe,was hired, BY MCCONNELL, to DO.
When Barr came back from his Euro tour with Durham, Lindsey debriefed him, then reported to McConnell.
Da fix, she be IN!
Dutchman, I am in agreement with you on many a posting BUT (call me crazy), I still have hope that AG Barr will do the right thing. I just do! Justice needs to be restored to a one tiered level — “Justice for all”. A gal can dream
Understood. However, we haven’t had a one tiered Justice system for some time.
And correcting that is,something Barr isn’t going to do, thats clear.
In her epoch times interview, at the end, Sidney was asked what she would advise Barr to do, to restore Justice.
She laid out several things which DO NOT require investigations, dotting i’s, crossing t’s, and that he COULD have and SHOULD have done on day one, …and hasn’t.
Reviewing all pending cases, and firing prosecutors who are witholding brady material, or engaging in these “prosecutorial terrorism” tactics, as Sidney calls them, would be a good start.
He has done nothing substantial, to send a clear message “This crap stops NOW”, and THATS how you turn an organisation around. Hang a few out to dry, to send a message. The other bads will leave, and the goods will be heartened, and more “goods” will come.
You DON’T turn an organisation around, with ethics training classes
I understand that Barr was hired to cover up and whitewash spygate, and i think he did a good job. I always wondered why trump would hire such an obvious deep state operative. I had read that Barr was forced on Trump by McConnell. But do you know what the mechanics were? For example, did McConnell provide Trump with a list and say these are the only people who will be confirmed? Did McConnell communicate through Pence? Did McConnell and Trump meet in person? Was Barr the only name on the list?
The specific mechanics, no.
Generally, such communications don’t involve the principles, directly; its more staff to staff.
I believe Barr WAS the only name provided.
When Ratcliffe first withdrew his name as ODNI, on fox he gave some details which shed light;
He told PDJT he would “go for it”, and called McConnell and Grahams offices, telling their staffs he wanted to make an appt. with each of them, to discuss his confirmation, which is SOP.
The staffs told him the soonest they could schedule an appt, TO DISCUSS HIS NOMINATION, was 3 months. THATS how its done.
He knew then, McConnell and Graham were sending a message, cause without their support, no way he could get confirmed.
You may recall there was speculation, during the transition, of Rudy joining the admin. Then it became clear that “wasn’t happening”; without any public explanation.
I SUSPECT a similar message was sent.
Funny, Obama never seemed to have such problems getting his nominees confirmed.

“Why didn’t OIG Michael Horowitz write about these controversial text messages in his IG report on FBI conduct during the 2016 election? The report where he couldn’t find any “evidence of investigative bias”….”
Because, according to Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch, IG reports are where “the truth goes to die”
“This is first class rationalizing by an Inspector General. Look, Inspector General’s Offices are where the truth goes to die, and this is another case of that.” Judicial Watch Director of Investigations and Research Chris Farrell, joins Dana Loesch to give his take on today’s IG report.

Parameters, Baby! That’s all we need to know.
Move along.
Miss lindseed was on Levin tonight begging hard for money for re election
Levin is either very nieve or Paul Ryan now owns him
Let him win. I think starting January 4, 2021 Trump, gloves off, will enjoy showing Lindsey the way.
Mark understands the bigger picture. We can’t afford to lose more Senators, even this snake. I have no doubt Graham is terrible. Trump knows this too. The other shocker was that Bill O was also on his show today. Last I remember Levin despised Bill.
Levin is in bed with glenn beck. One shouldn’t need say moar…
Why is Graham doing this? Is he compromised or is protecting his little friends?
Yes & Yes.
I had hoped he turned a corner after the now Justice Kavanaugh hearing.
For about the past year Mr. Graham has once again been out on a coffee break while all other hands were on deck.
Is it too much to ask for him to attend his own committee and shepherd through President Trump’s selection for the Supreme Court?
That was all Kabuki theater…as is this.
It was Lindsey making a two minute campaign commercial, and on “free media” at that.
He SAID what we,all wanted to hear someone say, and we were so grateful to hear someone, ANYONE, say it that we imparted that gratitude to him for saying it.
Mind you, a week after thatvlittle campaign speech, he is working with those Same Democrats he exorciated, to draft a National Red Letter law to take away guns on a pretext.
REMEMBER?
Its unfortunate how many got taken in by that ruse; cost him NOTHING, and probably worth 50,000 votes.
The actions of the Dimm Cabal were so atrocious, there needed to be at least one adult in the room! Far too little, too late IMHO. Like the fire brigade showing up after everything is burnt to ashes.
Yes, but Lindsey was NOT that adult. He was another child, playing dress ups.
After decrying the arsonists publically, he took them all out for beers, they backslapped each other, and talked about “WHATS NEXT?”
My first ever email to a Senator (I know, that should embarrass me, but I knew this was important enough that I had to do something, no matter how potentially futile (pearls among swine, falling on deaf ears, etc., etc..)
Dear Senator Graham,
Here’s a quote re: your 9/24 Press release that “FBI Knew Steele Dossier Source Was Likely a Russian Agent.”
Quote: “the FBI wasn’t duped. The FBI knew all along the Steele Dossier was a bunch of junk nonsense from political opposition research; but they needed it, to underscore the Carter Page FISA…. which they needed to justify the surveillance.”
Google that quote, read the article, and you’ll see that there are hundreds of thousands of us that know this is playing into the hands of the Democrats and the corrupt players from the SSCI, the CIA, FBI, DOJ and others. We know. And we are spreading the word so that even more people know.
If you are unaware of this information, please have your staff research this. It’s too important not to know what’s really going on. Justice is only served when true wrong-doing is exposed. You may be the right dog for this fight, but you’re barking up the wrong tree.
As the famous Wisdom Book says, “By their fruits you shall know them.” That goes both for the crooks who are exposed and for the investigators who either follow the truth wherever it may lead or ignore it and allow injustice to continue.
We know the FBI wasn’t duped by Russian information. We will know how committed to the truth you are by either exposing it or directly giving evidence publicly to show that what we claim to know is not true. I know I don’t have to tell you how to do this since you have a law degree. Be a prosecutor, not a defense lawyer in this case.
I’m not an SC constituent, but an American one. As an American I hate to see our country going to hell because our politicians and judicial system appears to have become self-serving and self-interested instead of living up to the principles of the Declaration of Independence enshrined in the Constitution wherein the would serve the public with true justice where every man and woman is equal under the law and even high-level appointed bureaucrats and elected officials are brought to justice when they break the law.
Thank you for your attention. I pray that you’re the man we need in your position at this critical hour.
Lindsey is guilty, WillRoll, of being a globalist stooge and traitor to We The People.
He is in no way going to be “the man we need in his position at this critical hour”…
This LIE about a “russian agent” is all the proof we need and I am sick to death of the lies that these globalist cucks try to force on us. We cannot stand idly by and watch this turned into “truth”.
The fact that Lindsey is begging for money may be due to a spiggot drying out. He mentioned the ACTBLUE robo-donations by out of work dimm donors. He is jealous that their spiggot is still working, IMHO.
No document is capable of tethering human nature to righteous behavior. The Constitution is a great template but a toothless enforcer.
Wonderful statement, and OH, so true. The enforcers are honorable, God-fearing men willing to make great sacrifices for the greater good.
Well, Lou…this should set the tone for your show tomorrow!! Have at him!!!!
As WSB Would Say .. : HA ! ?
Happy Friday , WSB ?
HA!
?Like !!!?
And to you, RyderLee!
Molte Grazie , WSB ?
Did we really expect the truth to be presented from Lindsey Graham?
He’s another Lucy, promising to really hold the football still this time.
But I’m Charlie and I don’t trust him or believe him after so many pull-aways.
A good day; hopefully a repeat tomorrow.
BTW, notice how all of the texts from the field-level agents see the scam?
They’re buying PROFESSIONAL INSURANCE. They’re not texting, “Gosh darn, those Rooskies really fooled us. They’re so darn clever.”
You watch —
Comey will test positive for COVID…..
Sorry folks — won’t be available til after the New Year…
The criminally corrupt FBI has always been the duper, not the dupie.
And did those feet, in ancient times, walk upon England’s mountains green,
And was the Holy lamb of God, in England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine, shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here, among our dark satanic hills?
Give me my bow, of burning gold, give me my arrows of desire,
Give me my spear! Oh clouds unfold, give me my chariot of glass!
I will not cease, nor shirk from fight, nor will my sword, sleep in my hand!
Till we have built, Jerusalem, in England’s green and pleasant land!
Uranium one. Ratlines. Charleston ports. Depleted and enriched uranium. Graham. Haley. Sanborn.
I have reservations about this man handling the S.C. nomination hearing. He is already giving too much time to the Dems to destroy whoever it may be.
Rush was beside himself today. Apparently Senator Graham keeps adding days to the confirmation hearings to accommodate the Dems, at least that is the impression I get.
May God Protect our President from this man’s obvious intent to drag it out until it is too late. Just like he has for the past two years with the coup investigation.
Our prayers are needed.
This is why the President should demand Lindsey organize a floor vote before any hearings start. The Dimms would rush to do the very same.

The FIB clearly weren’t “duped” by a “Russian agent”, and I ain’t duped by Miss “I do declare!” Lindsay.
Strozk and Page were organizing OCONUS lures to be sent against Papadopoulos and others in December 2015, well before the emergence of the “Steele dossier”.
They only snatched at the “Steele dossier” after 18 April 2016, when panic gripped their black hearts as the actions of American hero, Admiral Mike Rogers, revealed that their vile corruption had been discovered.
Anyone who trusts Miss Lindsay is a fool. The only one thing this poseur has ever “gotten to the bottom of” is the swamp. And she’s been there for years.
American Patriots may believe every “Republican” is critical to retain in this election. As a non US citizen, I would advise terminating Miss Lindsay’s time at the trough. That one prominent termination would put the fear of God, and more importantly, squealing fear Trump voters, into the rest of the RINO scum.
Trump supporters need to vote for an independent candidate in Miss Lindsay’s seat. NO! It doesn’t matter is a Democrat then wins. Just this one seat. Vote every other RINO in, but just destroy Miss Lindsay. Your nation depends on this.
And remember, it’s not just your nation that is under threat. Trump’s reelection is critical to the survival of the free world. But by just throwing one foul RINO under the bus, Americans can make the next four years really count.
The proper strategy was to replace Graham during his primary. Mitch McConnell makes that pretty much impossible.
The next strategy now is to drag Graham over the finish line and then attack the crap out of him to ‘retire’, so that the R SC governor can appoint another R to the seat.
Gee, maybe all along, even the redactions have been done by a special double-dog dare ya Russian agent, to dupe and confuse the interested citizenry. /s
Lindsay is a fraud and he is being outspent by his Democrat challenger. I in no way want to lose the Senate but I won’t cry a tear if this fraudster is finally voted out. He is freaking out going on every radio/tv show he can begging for money. This sir is what happens when you continually lie to the American people that you are going to get o the bottom of Russiagate when the truth is you were more then likely part of it along with your bestie John McCain. Buh buh bye now…
You should read the comments from people on his pleas for money posts on Fakebook. There are plenty of people telling him in a variety of ways “no $$ for you since you don’t do anything for our President”. His sins might actually cost him this round.
Graham is a total POS, a sell out for graft and power.
Graham is another sly one . Once again he lucks out because he will be viewed as a hero during the confirmation hearings for President Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court.
It might have been an act to counter his previous corruption and anti Trumpism. IOW, CYA.
Well now. If these people were all dupoed, they are not trustworthy and must be replaced as soon as possinble. They cannot to trusted with the safety and security oif the American people.
A movement needs to be started to identify and remove from office every one of these dupes.
It’s high time the opposition organizes and starts showing up at the homes of these Uniparty frauds: congressional, media (especially) , Lawfare and funding agents. Start amp’ing it up. We have already seen the anarchists backdown when confronted.
Accepting the leaders of the “premier law enforcement agency in the world” and it’s “counter-intelligence unit” were “played” by Russia, is embarrassing.
We have evidence to support these folks ignored their own policies and procedures, knowingly lied to Courts and hated President Trump and desired Hillary to win.
They were not “played” by Russia. The DNC and Hillary PAID for this information to be used by all Agencies, including FBI.
The World is laughing at our Country and it’s “premier Agency”.
The FBI is not trusted anymore PERIOD.
It needs to be downsized and fixed.
The FBI can not be fixed, it is malignant and needs to be radiated even if it might kill the host.
How can a virtuous people continue to support such a loathsome goverment?
The Founding Principals have been betrayed.
Everyone who pushed the Steele Dossier and the collusion delusion is a Russian agent, witting or not.
IMHO, this is a little different. The case being promoted is that the Senate was duped by the FBI. This is a little different than the FBI saying it was duped.
As a VA citizen, I suffer no illusions that Sen Warner not only knew what he was doing but was involved in shaping the strategy.
The big steal could be for the senate knowing they are toast for the presidency. That would pretty much neuter our lion’s ability to govern. We can’t let that happen. If the communists hold the house, and regain control of the senate, a successful impeachment will be the outcome. Praying President Trump’s very long coattails will carry the day and thwart the ongoing coup attempt.
All Americans will need to drag the stupid party over the finish line in overwhelming numbers.
Also, everyone needs to be very aware of any open local GOP slots. We made that mistake in the last election.
The GOP did NOT run anyone on the R line for a council member. After I specifically asked them to draft me if they could not retain a candidate. They never said a word about it. So rather than voting for the independent option (who they could have endorsed), we now have a true communist/Occupy Wall Street type for our ward.
Vote responsibly, everyone.
Hey, it’s better for the FBI to be thought incompetent than corrupt. All the while Ms. Lindsey is crying on tv and radio for campaign $$$ so he can continue the ruse. Wonder how much Hannity is giving do he doesn’t have to look for a new permanent guest.
I thought the Sub-source was Danchenko, Fiona’s friend?
POS ole Gramnesty. Just like he swears every election all the good hard work stuff he going do but then after election drags feet or does limp wristed efforts that are worthless.
Until we cleanse the Repub party of the old rhino repubs that are really just democrat OPFOR we will never get real progress on the Senate Congress fronts.
Just like the Congress if we turn it in the next election McCarthy should be given thanks but no thanks and put a real leader in charge like John Jordan. Ole gobler McConnel in the senate is worthless needs to be replaced.
but they were just tricked by Russians.
The FBI interrogated Danchenko and for sure they looked into his background/file. So they knew he had ties to Russian intel. But they used his material to get a FISA.
In other words, just because the “sub-source” has ties to Russia, that is not an explanation for the FBI being duped, because they knew. I see this evidence as supporting FBI malfeasance, not letting them off the hook.
I will admit that the MSM will lie like a rug, and spin like a dervish, but in a court of law, these FBI coupsters will lose.
That the FBI agents, analysts and the SC attorneys sought professional EO insurance proves the ruse…pun intended.
I maintained for years that Rod Rosenstein was either the dumbest sob who was ever employed by the FBI (which is saying something), or he was in on it.
Now it’s become evident that Lindsey Graham is either the dumbest Sob to ever chair a US Senate Committee (which is Really saying something!), or he’s also in on it.
Graham Cracker is protecting his butt buddy McCain.
Graham Cracker is protecting his butt buddy McCain.
a little less conversation,a little more action please.
“Likely”
There is that word again
Why are we so shocked by learning what we have thought was true is now confirmed to be true?
Yet, many here, there and everywhere want Full Disclosure of Everything!
How are we going to handle the Full Disclosure of Everything?
Forget about us, here at the CTH and other sites similar, because I believe we really know more than others and can find it in ourselves to accept it and live our lives.
But, what about those who pay little or no attention to our government and agencies?
How are they going to handle the Truth of the Matter and will they believe what
they hear or will they believe what the other side is telling them?
Always two sides….
Another riot? More deaths? Who knows what will happen?
That’s the dilemma for POTUS, Barr and others.
Graham lips moving = proof of misleading and/or lying words.
Again remember, his BFF = traitor McCain
