First, let me set the stage for new readers. No-one is more cynical of DC operations and manipulations than me. I do not sell nor promote ‘hope porn’, and I am not confident that anything is close to being revealed. Indeed, given the scale and scope of what took place in the last eight years, yes eight years; I have expressed doubts that anyone in government would ever actually expose it.
That said, in addition to my own cynicism I have been deep in this “spygate” or “Russiagate” rabbit hole; factually and physically inside the DC network; long enough to see the map of an investigative trail bringing up the rear.
During one great conversation a lawyer said to me: “All of this you know; all of this you have evidence for; but we don’t have the badges”. Thus began my 2020 effort, ultimately a successful effort, to drag the badges into the hole. That’s the background for an update with new information:
A very important article was written yesterday in the New Yorker [SEE HERE]. While the topic of the article spotlights the ridiculous conspiracy theory surrounding Alfa bank, and the insufferable nonsense about Trump Tower servers having contact -electronic touch signals- with servers from the Russian banking organization, there are aspects to the story that show where the Durham probe has been forced to travel.
Within the article –which everyone should read– some names are very important. The article is framed around defending the New Yorker’s previous reporting on the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory, so the intent of the article is defensive. However, the events being described in the article, and more importantly the people being outlined in the article, are accurate. Especially Daniel Jones and his lawyer William Taylor; and the connection of both to Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson.
According to the article there are two parallel efforts underway to untangle the background of how the false Alfa Bank story was originated. One effort is a set of civil lawsuits by the owners of Alfa bank against those who created the fraudulent story that flowed through Fusion GPS, into Chris Steele’s dossier, into the FBI, and ultimately into the Buzzfeed reporting therein. The owners of the bank are taking all of these entities into court and demanding discovery of sources who framed/created the false impression.
The second outlined effort is a set of subpoenas for some of the same names to appear before a grand jury being run by the John Durham probe. The witnesses are lawyered-up and attempting to avoid the grand jury subpoenas.
Part of the New Yorker story is constructed around wondering if the Alfa Bank team is working with the Durham team. That is a false narrative created for political deflection only. However, the article outlines factual evidence of the Durham grand jury; and by knowing what issues are being explored we can see -in advance- where this trail is going.
Good News Pause: John Durham has a grand jury impaneled and is issuing subpoenas.
Instead of me going through the Alfa Bank story, let me just take you though a process of where the Alfa Bank story ends up. That’s where Durham/Aldenberg will ultimately be; and for transparency I have spoken with William Aldenberg about their destination.
Note in the New Yorker piece the subjects of the subpoenas and lawsuits are worried about being forced to identify the anonymous sources known as “Max” and “Tea Leaves”.
Additionally the group describes their worry about identifying how the electronic signals between the servers were originally discovered.
Let me say up front that is where this story connects to the scandal of intelligence community “contractor” access to the NSA database.
The SIGINT or signals intelligence, used to frame the false Alfa Bank story, appears to have come from entities with access to the NSA database who were doing work to assist the overall Trump-Russia narrative construction. Those unlawfully obtained findings were manipulated and unlawfully extracted; then passed along to computer scientists who had the role to provide technical support for the media to use in selling a false story.
If this sounds to you like the subject matter expertise and skill of Crowdstrike and Fusion-GPS you would not be missing the target.
[…] The Alfa Bank case has also become an object of interest for federal agents working for John Durham, the prosecutor appointed by Barr. Durham’s agents have summoned some of the same computer scientists to testify before a grand jury, and are asking for the same material that Alfa Bank is seeking. (They’ve asked Jones, the investigator, to testify as well.) Some agents told scientists that they were exploring a potential criminal charge—presumably against Max and Tea Leaves—for giving false information to the government. A number of those called to testify are seeking to quash the subpoenas, and it’s not apparent that anyone has testified so far.
There is no clear evidence that the Justice Department and Alfa Bank are working together, but some people involved in the case noted a striking alignment of purpose. “There’s a heck of a lot of mutual interest,” William Taylor, an attorney for [Dan] Jones, told me. (more)
Notice here that William Taylor in 2020 is representing Dan Jones. And Dan Jones is outlined as the central player in the Alfa Bank story construction; as pushed to media.
William Taylor was/is also the lawyer for Fusion-GPS, as noted in a 2017 Politico article: “Fusion lawyers William Taylor and Josh Levy wrote as they renewed their request for a temporary restraining order from U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan.”
Now, let me explain what this is all about…. and where this is going.
When President Trump won the November 2016 election all of those participants involved in the use of government offices and agencies for corrupt political intent had a real problem. Immediately, a lot of strategic planning took place by a lot of desperate people.
One of the key needs of the corrupt intelligence apparatus was to find a way to stop the incoming administration from exposing their effort; that’s where the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) comes in.
Senator Dianne Feinstein was vice-chair of the SSCI in 2016. Feinstein’s chief of staff was Dan Jones. The post-election plan to protect the intel community would involve using the SSCI institution to cover for prior Obama-era operations.
Senator Feinstein was not a good fit for that role, so Feinstein abdicated her position in advance of the next congress.
In January 2017 Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chair and Dan Jones left the SSCI to continue the operation as a freelance operative. Warner was put into place to carry out the strategic objectives needed to protect the DOJ, NSD, CIA, FBI and ODNI operations against Donald Trump who was now the incoming president-elect.
Keep in mind with control of the SSCI the group inside the legislative branch could control who ran what intelligence agency because they held the power of confirmation; and they could control who would rise to be inspector general within the intelligence community, a position needed if a whistle-blower was to surface.
Additionally, the SSCI would control intelligence information and assist the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel after appointment. The SSCI could work as a sword and a shield as needed. Which is exactly what happened.
That background, the motive of the SSCI, explains every point of conflict and corruption we have seen from the SSCI toward the White House in the past four years.
Meanwhile Dan Jones went freelance and was given $50 million to fund an investigative outfit called the “Penn Quarter Group” and create a new organization called the Democracy Integrity Project.
“Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from “7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California.” (link)
Jones used both groups to continue selling and pushing the Trump-Russia narrative. Also it was important for those at risk to find an alternate route to keep financing their defense without using Clinton’s legal team within Perkins Coie.
Essentially, in 2017 Dan Jones, through his Penn Quarter Group, took over funding for Fusion-GPS and Glenn Simpson and kept paying Christopher Steele. The payments to these entities and Steele always looked more like a pay-off to keep their mouths shut. Jones was essentially the bag-man for continued Trump-Russia operations outside government.
Jones’s second job was to keep pushing the Trump-Russia narrative in the media:
(RCP Investigations) 2019 […] The operation’s nerve center is a Washington-based nonprofit called The Democracy Integrity Project, or TDIP. Among other activities, it pumps out daily “research” briefings to prominent Washington journalists, as well as congressional staffers, to keep the Russia “collusion” narrative alive.
TDIP is led by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and top staffer to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It employs the key opposition-research figures behind the salacious and unverified dossier: Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Its financial backers include the actor/director Rob Reiner and billionaire activist George Soros.
The project’s work has been largely shrouded in mystery. But a months-long examination by RealClearInvestigations, drawn from documents and more than a dozen interviews, found that the organization is running an elaborate media-influence operation that includes driving and shaping daily coverage of the Russia collusion theory, as well as pushing stories about Trump in the national media that attempt to tie the president or his associates to the Kremlin. (Keep Reading)
While Senator Mark Warner -now a gang of eight member- took control over the SSCI, and by extension the aggregate intelligence apparatus controlled by legislative oversight, Dan Jones worked outside government on the same objectives. Warner was controlling efforts inside the legislative branch that impeded and undermined the executive; and Dan Jones was controlling efforts outside government to weaponize media and attack the executive.
We see the synergy between Senator Warner and Dan Jones in the text messages with their mutual ally Adam Waldman (Chris Steele’s lawyer/handler). Senator Warner was texting with Adam Waldman about setting up a meeting with Chris Steele. Waldman is a lobbyist/lawyer with a $40,000 monthly retainer to represent the U.S. interests of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska; Waldman was also Chris Steele’s lawyer/handler.
Senator Mark Warner was trying to set up a covert meeting. In the text messages Adam Waldman is telling Senator Warner that Chris Steele will not meet with him without a written letter (request) from the Senate Intelligence Committee. Steele was always the wild-card and needed to be kept under tight controls.
Senator Warner didn’t want the Republican members to know about the meeting. Chris Steele knew this was a partisan political set-up; knew his own risk exposure from the 2016 operation; and was refusing to meet unilaterally with Senator Warner. Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman, a close vacationing friend with Warner, was playing the go-between:
This is why I have said since 2018 that Chris Steele needs to be granted immunity in exchange for his testimony. Steele is the fulcrum of the 2016/2017 operation; and it was reported earlier that Steele met with Durham investigators.
It seems obvious that Fusion-GPS used Nellie Ohr to send information to Chris Steele who then assembled the oppo-research into his dossier. Steele then acts as a laundry for the Fusion intel and transmits it to the FBI for use. The FBI use the Steele dossier to get the FISA useful for surveillance against the Trump campaign and administration. All of that is transparently obvious now.
Dan Jones being subpoenaed by John Durham is a big deal. Durham might be following the Alfa-bank breadcrumbs, but we already know where that leads…. into the exploitation of the NSA database, and then ultimately into the Senate Intel Committee.
Not defending the delay of the Durham probe to be public with its findings; but if they are willing to go all the way to the SSCI that could explain the reason for delay.
You might be wondering how we can know all of these connections and yet it is taking Durham’s team a long time to get through this rabbit hole. Here’s a few things I can tell you from my personal experience and interaction with them:
(1) many of you have been in this rabbit hole with me longer than Durham’s team has; (2) these investigators take a long time to connect dots because they have to keep asking for permission, we don’t; (3) this is the biggest political scandal in U.S. history; and (4) the badges only recently (July) became aware of the SSCI scope.
Thank you for all this insight, Sundance. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you and the Good Lord bless you!
I hope this rabbit hole is long and deep but eventually leads up to another hole and not a dead end. I hope that when the rabbit finally comes out of the hole at the other end that its color may have turned black with all the dirt and the underground worms that it is bringing up for all to see and expose to the light. Let us hope AG Barr, Durham and all his attorneys with him are waiting at the other end for this rabbit so they can pick off very meticulously the dirt and worms that it brings with him. This rabbit would need a lot of washing so the dirt can be poured into the drain of justice. It would be good if the worms are then “cultivated” in the cages at Gitmo.
Patience is truly a virtue. For all of us who want justice, it is stretched into a thin thread.
The “Democracy Integrity Project” – is a key ‘FAKE NEWS’ driver in Washington DC….
I think we are getting close!
😀
Did you mean the “Transition Integrity Project”?
“A bipartisan group of 100 or so left-wing luminaries, institutional graybeards, and never-Trumpers came together to work on what they named the Transition Integrity Project, their response to their conviction that President Donald Trump will contest the result “by both legal and extra-legal means.”
https://spectator.org/transition-integrity-project-biden-campaign/
“For all of us who want justice, it is stretched into a thin thread.”
For me, that thread is long broken simply because when it comes to the ability of ANY government agency to hold itself accountable for extremely bad behavior, let alone such behavior by highly secretive agencies, history provides endless evidence that EXTREME cynicism is justified.
We are getting what I’ve predicted for a long time and was called a troll for doing so: nothing. If anything, the “investigations” with no consequences will allow less detectable bad behavior next time due to knowledge of the mistakes made this time.
Of course, if Clinton had been elected, we’d never have known about any of this which makes one wonder how many times has this sort of thing has happened in the past and simply was not caught.
You are right Winston. This is just more of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown again.
Can you imagine what we don’t know, the unknown unknowns, if all in this piece represents the knowns. It really is beyond the scope of the President and DOJ. It would take the people to bring Justice. That probably will not happen ( at least I hope not). I am prayerful for divine intervention into the affairs of those responsible for this.
it probably WILL happen
action is afoot
This is my upvote — nicely stated.
Many rabbit holes – like a warren.
Sundance, thank you for this good news and all of your amazing efforts on behalf of people like me who love this country.
The big question: what happens if Trump loses? Does this all simply vanish? There is a very short time until the election. I realize that, until Jan 20, Trump would still be President, but having everything come out, criminals arrested, etc. at that point, while it would be a win, it would be a bit of a Pyrrhic victory, wouldn’t it….. Voters need to know the truth NOW.
Durham and Barr have had plenty of time. People build bridges and buildings in less time. It pains me to say it but the fix is in. No one is doing anything. No one will be held accountable.
Maybe one or two people in the FBI/DOJ/NSA/DoD stood up and said something. The supposed FBI agent who copied the Weiner laptop and Admiral Rogers. All the rest did absolutely nothing.
Every time I see that picture of Burr and Warner, I want to puke. That sums up the whole story. Throw in a corrupt Paul Ryan and you have the icing on the cake.
The Deep State won. Turn out the lights, the party is over. Too many corrupt governments all in bed together. US, Britain, Australia, Italy, Germany, China, etc. are all in it together and if the US spills the beans, the other countries probably have a lot of damaging information they will spill to retaliate.
Evil and corruption looks like it will win out in 2020. I hope I am wrong. I doubt it though.
Do all you defeatist naysayers work off a script?
It’s time to update it. It’s getting old and tired.
KAG! Vote RED. Remove Every D☭mocrat!!
You know what’s getting old, Barr-zini pretending he is going to pull a rabbit out of a hat. He ran out the clock, mission accomplished.
His only indictments so far , Steve Bannon and the 11 people who conspired to kidnap the governor of Michigan.
Skeptical??? Wonder why??? BECAUSE for 20Y we’ve BEEN WAITING!! Got it??
IT IS ALWAYS: “WE ARE GOING TO”, however, the Republicans NEVER GET “TO GOING”…..call me skeptical. I have 20Y of FACTS to back me up. Lindsay Graham has been ‘going to’ do something for the past 4Y…..
We have Lerner, Holder, Brennon, Clapper, HRC, HUNTER BIDEN, Susan Rice, Comey and ALL HIS ASSOCIATES, Mueller and his minions…ALL GUILTY OF CRIMES….DOCUMENT, FACTUAL CRIMES and yet, NOT ONE, in the past 4Y have seen an indictment nor do I suspect will see one….Benghazi, Fast & Furious…Iran $$$ dropped on the airport runway….I could give example after example ALL DAY…..Weiner having HRC’s emails on his laptop and WE LEARN NOW WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED……Debbie Wasserman THREATENING Capitol Police TO TURN OVER LAPTOPS that foreigners HAD and WERE WORKING on Capitol Hill; Diane Feinstein and her China driver….???!! IT IS ALL ONE BIG COVER-UP, scandal and it involves Dems and Republicans…THEY’VE ALL been to Ukraine, China and they’ve ALL TAKEN $$.
Exactly.
Hate to sound like a Debbie Downer, but it seems like the entire political establishment has been setting everything into place for a complete and controlled demolition of our Nation.Sure hope I’m wrong about this.
Nope, not wrong.
It gets worse when the “think tanks” get involved.
(and they are)
‘Learned the (paleo hunter) value of backtracking to uncover what your quarry was doing when unseen, or not being pursued. Where it slept, where it staged up before dancing in the dark, where it returned to it’s safety zone before sun light. So I understand the “rabbit hole” backtracking necessity. But…there comes a time to nock an arrow and a time to loose that arrow – or “dump the string” as my pappy used to say. The bottom limb of my Osage bow is twitching like a mountain lion’s tail…
Translation, please?
Translation, please?
“He ran out the clock, mission accomplished”
What does that even mean, how could a clock run out when one is dealing with Treason?
Treason is like a murder, 20 years later you can be charged, convicted, just like treason…
I don’t blame you for being confused. Actually, that was part of Barr-zini plan. The ” clock” is election day. If Biden wins the entire investigating regarding spy gate goes away. As of today, the traitor Biden is ahead in every poll.
Yes Lambgraham. It is as clear as day. Sessions got them to the mid-terms. Barr got them to the Presidential election. Yes. Mission Accomplished. No swamp creatures held accountable and most importantly, nothing coming back on Obama or his minions or Dementia Joe.
Thank You Lambgraham
. . . the eleven people who were probably set up by the fbi . . .
Well, we know one thing for sure, nothing will be done before the election. Maybe, and I mean maybe in Trump’s 2nd term will we see some results.
We WILL see the truth. No doubt. What I hope is that we will see prosecutions. The truth is already out there. The prosecutions may be about the same as the Senate going into recess. Slow Turtle can’t control the nominees if they go into recess. Personally, I think that if a quorum is not present, then each House is in recess. Period. End of statement!!
Let’s not forget the outrageous gestapo like raid/arrest of Roger Stone in 2019. Bill and Chris may get together every now and then, open up a nice bottle of single malt scotch, and watch the video of that awesome display of abuse of power. I can see them laughing hardily and patting each other on the back, saying nice job, nice job.
Cowboy simply stated the truth…
What is getting old is the folks that continue to make excuses for barr’s and durham’s inaction…
you state that the party is over. they you say that you hope you are wrong. get a grip. God is in charge of this.
Absolutely true, but we have to remember that He also choose to flood the world and destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
Indeed, in my prayers every night, I ask God to ensure POTUS Trumps legal enemies that created all this be ‘smited’ by the powers to be . Let Go direct the those who should be doing this work now.
The situation looks grim, but we actually have some power to make it happen. Vote for Trump, and convince your friends and family to do the same. Or all this will indeed be swept under the rug.
Your vote may seem small, but it is 100% real. And I’m with ya!
If enough people make enough noise long enough this will end in a victory for us.
Sure it looks dismal- our man Trump all alone surrounded by Swamppers. BUT who would have thought the American People would have elected a man like Trump in 16? For 8 dark years we had only idiots like Cruz and Rubio et al as our “champions”. God help us! and He did! God gave us Trump and Trump has wound back the leftist doomsday device BIGLY.
What’s my overall point? God intervenes in the affairs of men. Pray. Work. Stay vocal. Keep the American Dream alive. Never give up!
I agree, Admiral Rogers gave the investigators a road map to the NSA corruption and Barr-zini sat on until May. When he finally did initiate the investigation it was in the middle of a pandemic, then just last week the lead prosecutor quits.
Barr-zini had Bruce Ohr cold, which led to his wife Nellie who was the ring leader at Fusion.
The had Samantha Powers on 200 illegal searches, she would have sung like a canary.
This is all stall ball to make it look like something is happening.
Barr-zini will go down as the worst AG in US History .
Why?
1- He knew a coup was committed against President Trump and did nothing about it
2- One of the conspirators is ahead in the polls to be President of the US. If elected, he will destroy the 3rd branch of government and pack the Senate by admitting DC and Puerto Rico as states and that’s for starters.
3- Barr-zini praised the corrupt and despicable Wray who regularly concealed, reclassified, and destroyed evidence.
4- Acoording to Fitton and Sydney Powell the DOJ, FBI, and State Department worked against them in their respective cases.
5- Refused criminal referrals on Comey and McCabe.
6- Refused to interview the three greatest traitors in US History, Biden, Obama, and Clinton
7- Refused criminal referrals from the hero Nunes.
Somehow I feel we the people are responsible. If we peacefully marched on Washington DC by the millions demanding justice events may have turned out differently.
the RICO methodology is well known, applicable here and being completely ignored by Mr. Barr. Many, many lower and mid level highly vulnerable targets who would have done virtually anything to avoid the prison sentences they were certain to get are flying free.
8) the inexplicable and negligent failure by anyone tasked with “investigating” any of this to interview Julian Assange.
This factor standing alone presents indisputable evidence that this has been a charade from the start. When Assange confirms the complete lack of Russian involvement in the DNC email leak, the entire house of cards comes crashing down.
With all due regard, Vito, I suggest you change your name. Having been raised by a rodeo champion, I can authoritatively state that you don’t display much of a cowboy attitude. Cowboys are tough and determined. You? Well, let’s just say I wouldn’t want to be facing the enemy with you in the foxhole beside me.
It is not a foreign enemy, its domestic. Soros knows Chapter 13 in the “Art of War” like the back of his hand.
“A nation can survive its fools and even its ambitious. But it cannot survive its treason within…”
I hope I can still keep my cowboy boots and hat 🙂 It is like watching a football game live. The referees (moderators?) are in on the fix and willing to throw flags at convenient times. Even the booth reviewers are in on it. The announcers (mainstream media) are calling the game for Team Creepy Joe and giving the fans their ‘take’ on what is really happening, not what they are seeing with their own eyes. The scorekeepers (polltakers) are just taking points from Team Trump and giving to Team Creepy Joe.
And Barr and Wray say they are ‘investigating’ and will publish a report AFTER the game. This cowboy doesn’t think that will do a whole lot of good.
Yeah, I would love to hep you in the foxhole but kind of hard to when Team Creepy Joe erased the 2nd amendment and took my rifle. At least they let us keep our bandanas to use as masks.
I wouldn’t want Vito in a foxhole with me.. or my squad!!!! Been there, done that!!!
….”but if they are willing to go all the way to the SSCI that could explain the reason for delay.”
They aren’t. And I share your pessimism.
No President Trump for the next 4 years, then it is all over. The Dems/Deep Cesspool will have stalled for 4 years and their Media and Internet partners in crime wouldn’t report a Deep Cesspool atomic bomb dropped on Middle America.
A Super Human effort must be made to re-elect President Trump, hold the Senate, and regain the House. Or the Republic is Dead. ‘Twas a glorious idea, surrendered without a fight, to the madding mob.
WOW…SUCH NEGATIVITY … What brought this on?
ME…I celebrating President Trump winning a second term and then the gloves come off…OH and this President has said…time and time again…
“THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN TO ANOTHER PRESIDENT…EVER”
Now, Back to your regularly scheduled bot programming…
Barr and Durham have had more than enough time to get results such as indictments. The coverup continues and nothing will happen. The swamp rats are emboldened to commit more criminal activities. Barr is a major disappointment and a total waste.
They’ve had YEARS….a tree could have grown……
Indeed. “you will know them by their fruit” and right now fruit is scarce; and what little fruit America has been offered is rotten.
Why did Paul Ryan refuse [block] all subpoena requests by R committee chairs?
What is the going rate for THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE to obstruct Congressional investigations for the purposes of delaying and/or eliminating its findings? [protect]
Why did Paul Ryan initially refuse to be Speaker?
What was coming?
Why did Paul Ryan retire at such a young age?
BECAUSE PAUL RYAN IS A TRAITOR THAT IS WHY.
Pyrran, plagiarizing qanon…but I’m OK with it!
I think everyone should appreciate Democrats willingness to take off work on Columbus day after taking down his statues all across America.
Napoleon, very good!
That should be at the forefront of every conversation with a worthless, democrat. How many holidays ‘with pay’ did they receive that they object to? “I will live up to MY STANDARDS when everyone else does.” Democrat in a thumbnail.
I understand your sentiments but don’t know that I’d complain too loudly… I think the liberals would be only too happy to replace the holidays honoring our heroes and founding fathers with holidays to honor Ba’al and who knows what others satanists.
They’re celebrating Indigenous People’s Day.
Can someone please fill me in on what indigenous people were here before the Indians. My dated education indicated that the Indians migrated from somewhere else. Or, perhaps they just evolved out of the mud. By way of comparison, what Indian tribes were wiped out by these Indians before the Europeans even arrived. My understanding of the vaunted accomplishments of the indigenous inhabitants is lacking. Thanks.
how far back in time would be agreeable? sufficient?
agreed…point taken..
ultimately it all leads to nakedness in the garden.
ultimately..thats why jesus was sent to wash away our sins..all of them… past.. present…future.
If Paul Ryan had played the game like Pelosi, we would not be where we are today. What a toady. He needs to be indicted for obstructing justice. Where were the Schiff-like closed-door interrogations of people exploiting the intelligence community, DOJ and FBI assets (see entire Obama administration)? He buried the whole thing, and let Obama run roughshod over the entire country.
Oh Ryan played the game, alright. He blocked everything he could as Speaker and got his reward with a BIG payout in the form of a Fox News payout. Don’t think for one second that he didn’t have a gameplan, lured by money from Murdoch.
The answer was always right in front of our faces. Ryan’s wife was a big DimLib from money. He wasn’t going to buck her. He sold us out every step of the way. We just made our usual mistake of not recognizing a traitor. The last reliably conservative Speaker we’ve had was Newt Gingrich. Hastert, Boehner and Ryan were all either closet ‘Rats or blackmailed kiddy diddlers–or both.
Good point 🙂
An excellent overview of this aspect, MAYBE a glimmer of hope. That said, people would need a FLOW CHART the length of a football field and about 6′ high to CONNECT all the people AND their criminal acts/behavior going back to 2015!
They would have to arrest pretty much all of congress if the truth were to be completely revealed. There isn’t a person of integrity anywhere in government except President Trump and a few who support him. JMHO.
What is so disappointing about this (other than the corruption) is that we elected a President who really loves this country and loves we, the people. It’s unreal that he loves everybody but nobody but the people who voted for him, loves him back. After all that he has done…..they are still deaf dumb and blind.
Shame on them for their actions while the whole world watches them try to destroy OUR America.
What is Soros paying these days ?
Asking for a friend……
Barr and Durham are working for Biden.
You guys need to take a break and step back from all your hand wringing. We are in the fight for our lives. At the end of the day, true or not, your helping the enemy.
Nonsense. Such dikta is something that would normally be heard from the DNC. The impatience at this point is completely justified.
My glass half full is acting up again. The Republican Party leaders should know all the ways the left are attempting to pull this off. We better be on them like white on rice ( am I allowed to still say that?) Let them know we’re watching them closely as they go about committing fraud and facing prison time if caught. Intimidate, intimidate, intimidate.
And one more thing— How can anyone be thrilled to cast a vote for a person who most likely step down and have Kamala take over as Commander in Chief?
You from Idaho? OF COURSE YOU’RE RAYCISS!/s
If Trump is not re-elected this will all go down the “memory hole”. Durham’s efforts will be called off. Maybe he can just indict everyone he can after the election so at least some type of splash is made in the swamp. Who knows at this point. NOT issuing his findings is also interfering in the elections.
Excellent work, as always. Unfortunately, the clock may have expired. If Biden wins this all goes away.
Wow. Thank you, Sundance.
Oh please! We have to hear about Alfa Bank once more?
The New Yorker is gaslighting again, trying to link an old, dead story to the supposed ongoing Durham investigation.
I think think they just want to further confound the picture before 11/3/20.
As already mentioned, the whole Alfa Bank nonsense was debunked November 1 2016 by the Intercept.
Once elected, Trump knew he couldn’t use Camp David because all his conversations would be bugged.
Then he quickly discovered the White House was really badly bugged also.
Then he was informed that Obama and the FBI had bugged Trump Tower.
So then he has to leave NYC, and move operations to Mar Lago to get some secrecy from leaks.
It was SERIOUS enough that he had to leave his wife and kid behind until school finished.
Meantime, his Chiefs of Staff couldn’t be trusted either, his AG couldn’t do his job, and his NSC head was knocked off due to false pretense!
The Trump Hotel Washington was always ‘a bridge too far’…
Camped out in Florida, he finally had time to set up Bedminster, NJ as a secure location.
We’re damn lucky this guy owned so many properties!
Unless Barron and Melania were wiring Russian wannabe oligarchs, the whole story falls on its face quickly.
Just off the top of my head here I thought when he found out the White House was bugged and Trump Tower was bugged I thought he moved to New Jersey not marlago.
I could be wrong but it’s late very late here right now
I also believe he went to Bedminster, not Mar a Lago. Sundance reported it thus.
He relocated campaign ops to NJ, you’re right. Leaving NYC for Florida was during his presidency, late 2019.
Armchair psychiatrist:: when is he going to be straight jacketed ?
And thus the 25th Amendment talks today. Good grief, just when you think it won’t get any crazier.
ALL the negativity on this thread is telling me ONLY one thing…
I would NOT want any of these naysayers on this board to be in a situation that I had to rely on them!!!
NOTE: These naysayers come on this board so they can dilute the comments with negativity and get people to start second guessing themselves…and putting out comments that causes all this angst!!!
IT’S TIME TO GO B@LLS TO THE WALL, NAILEM’ TO THE WALL…
Who was naysaying? Not sure what your reply was about.
Good video for people who may not think the devil is real.
I absolutely cannot believe what I just watched.
This is the epitome of gaslighting.
Sorry; I can’t give MSLSD even one click.
To paraphrase Brennan: Donald Trump is deeply in debt and only wants to be President so he can make money.
Got it. This genius ran the CIA? Talk about vulnerability! Sad.
That works for the Clinton’s, Obama and Bidens but not Trump. This is again them Projecting. Just can the name to the speaker from Trump and you have the answer.
That’s all he can think,of.hes out of gas (lighting).
President Trump MUST win. When he does we will see Justice.
Conversely President Trump MUST lose if the deep state is to bury their treason.
The election has always been the key to Justice. I have been saying this for four years.
With this knowledge prepare accordingly. There will be mass insurrection and severe disruptions to the supply chain. Pray the men and women in uniform do their duty to our Nation.
THY WILL BE DONE. Amen, Sundance. Nothing matters, but God’s will. As the famous poem goes…”With All its shame, drudgery, and broken dreams, this is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.”
Sundance, please explain that only a Grand Jury can write a Federal Felony indictment. That they are composed of 12-23 members and it takes either 9 or 12 to agree to indict. Most of these Juries are in the liberal North East states and have at least 50% liberal grand juries. In order to obtain a indictment the evidence must be irrefutable. More than 95% of federal indictments result in aa guilty verdict.
Thank you. I didn’t know that. Good to know.
OK, enough of the stalls.
How about telling Barr/Durham to immediately hand over all their records to the military and start arrests for treason. Pull Flynn in to head it up, his case is stalled until god knows when anyway, have Sidney and Nunes be special advisors to the tribunals.
Start at the TOP, not the bottom, scare the hell out of them; let all on the bottom know you are coming for them unless they roll over and roll over fast.
You could clean the place out in three months, and yes, firing squads not jail is the sentence for treason.
Unfortunately, the Constitution defines Treason:
Now Sedition, yes. That’s it!
THANK YOU!!!! ?????
We are long past time for waterboarding.
We are in the timeframe similar to Romania when the Soviet Union fell and Romanian paratroopers forcefully entered the premises of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena, bound their hands, and lead them to a “dirty courtyard” and summarily executed them. THAT is what needs to be happening now……by the thousands!!!
BTW…..unless they took it down, there is even a VIDEO on YouTube of that historical event.
TRUMP: “BARR IS PATHETIC” ‘Where are all of the arrests?’ Asks why BARR blocks all FOIA’s from Judicial Watch into Obama
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/trump-barr-is-pathetic-where-are-all-of-the-arrests-asks-why-barr-blocks-all-foias-from-judicial-watch-into-obama/
Wheee doggies! Just when hopes of actual justice were withering, we learn of actual investigations by Durham/Aldenberg. Thanks Sundance!
➜If⬅︎ Durham/Aldenberg are following the breadcrumbs, it would be of no surprise if this is of its own inertia, not something the two are pushing, intended or want. ‘Falling into their laps,’ so to speak, or ‘the train is too big to stop.’ Too many, now, know too much. But for Harris/Biden it makes no difference. They’ll always have the media for cover when they shut it down and the best option is simply not to report on anything or any ‘disgruntled’ former investigator.
Pray for a Trump victory. We might see justice in some way.
While this is the biggest political scandal in American history ultimately (If Trump wins) it will become the biggest trial in history. So unlike all of our opinions written into comments of various blogs the Durham team A: “””needs to remain healthy””” and I am not talking cov here I am talking Sethed as in Rich and it needs to cross all of the T’s and dot all the I’s and in government work where blackmail and economic l*nching (spelled with a Y ) is on the daily menu that is a task nearly as difficult as resurrection.
Barr’s August interview with SH:
“I have said that the American people need to know what actually happened. We need to get the story out of what happened in 2016 and 2017, now out. That will be done”
“There are going to be developments, significant developments before the election.”
Both statements, so far utterly false with about 3 weeks to go. In the same interview Barr said the Clinesmith plea was not a “significant development “. He called it, “not earth shattering”. The American people still do not know what happened.
At the very least Barr should give a press conference with status report.
An excellent observation…………….unfortunately, destined to fall on deaf ears!
I second that.
It is always reported as having great allegiance to their employer, supervisor, or career choice but I would like to hear EXACTLY why any career DOJ (or any fed government) managerial authority is reticent to divulge all the damning details of what crimes former employees have committed.
What is it? What’s in it for them? Money, continuing crime schemes, sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll . . . ? What is it?
People can sell themselves cheaply, good salary & benefits, 20 years and out. You belong to a club. Sorry there have been ruthless authoritarian states formed for less.
managerial authority is reticent to divulge
Since 2001, the FBI was run by Robert Mueller and then James Comey. I expect that only “true believers” were promoted, and those who were not, over the course of 15 years were weeded out.
Thus the working hypothesis is that the entire management team at the FBI is dirty.
I would guess the same thing has occurred at the DOJ, and numerous other federal agencies.
Please allow me a moment to pat myself on the back.
I have been posting for months that my Top Four Traitors Who Should Be Hung From The Gallows are Obama, Brennan, Weissmann, and Warner. With this story by Sundance . . . coupled with all the recent revelations and publicly-released documents . . . my list looks more prescient than ever. I NAILED IT!
Gee, I’m swell!
Modest, too!
I agree but why leave out Yates, Jarret and Rice, no mention of Jarret ever!
PS Warner needs to go first.
Ah grasshopper, to truly demonstrate your powers you should not only correctly guess the top 4 that should hang, but also date when they will hang. Then I will be most impressed.
We’re ONE ELECTION & several APPOINTMENTS by POTUS in KEY POSITIONS from JUSTICE BEING SERVED. Patience Grasshopper. If the American Electorate rise to the occasion and give POTUS a Congress he can work with the HAMMER will DROP. Been planned that way ALL ALONG. Look what one appointment (Grenell) did to stir the pot we now see brewing and while he was in that position even the scoundrels in Congress couldn’t do ANYTHING about it. After the election POTUS has no re-election worries preventing him from lowering the boom.
VOTE like AMERICA as we LOVE IT depends upon it, because it does plain & simple.
cbjoasurf, if memory serves me correctly, President Trump had a congress he could work with in his first two years. The problem is, they wouldn’t work with him! Most of them were in on it. Just like today’s Senate, Repulican GOPe lead, won’t go into recess so the President can get his appointments in.
And why are the dims out in the open in our faces with all this b.s. because they know all the various swamp creatures have their back, plain and simple! If all the crap that has happened does not come out before the election, un redacted….the fix is still in! Just like in ’16 they “knew” the hag was going to win so all their asses would be covered. Now they’re hedging Hiden is going to win via voting corruption and their asses will be safe again.
Cold Anger is comin November 3rd! Hell is coming after that!
And yes early on we had both House and Senate and they fought Trump tooth and nail over everything, the Dims easily hamstrung the President because Republicans they didn’t like em’.
The point is and always has been Trump’s an outside and outsiders are not welcome.
When Trump wins this time it will be the same old thing again, unless he decides to clean house.
However, if Trump continues to have the ,it is what it is, mindset and chooses to work within those limitations as he has so far then nothing will change.
The greatest investigative FAILURE in the history of this country, that will be IMO one of the catalysts leading to the decline or destruction of this Constitutional Republic!
Because when the rule of law is ignored and crimes of this magnitude at the highest level in our government go unpunished, America and our freedoms under our Constitution die.
They had there chance and failed miserably IMO.
I hope the history books record the truth.
AND THAT IS WHY THE FOUNDERS OF THIS GREAT NATION…
GAVE US THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!!!
All I can say here and now is … WOW!
Between your recent article, https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/03/covid-fear-isnt-the-kitchen-sink-but-its-close/ which demonstrates WHY the “Swamp”, the “Elite”, the “Establishment”, the “Never-Trumpers” (All descriptors are one and the same), have been and continue to have it out with Trump, and this article in which you describe HOW they perpetrate their efforts to remove him, you Sundance have connected the all important “mega-dots” for me. And … You have thrown in a sideline bonus explaining why I’ve been seeing so many annoying, whinie, desperate (and futile) accusations coming from Rob Reiner’s lips consistently throughout this sordid coup.
Again Sundance, all I can say is … WOW! Thanks for this latest enlightenment. (Keep that wattage up high down the Rabitt Hole)
God Bless and God Speed.
Everything Rip said – Sunlight is disinfecting!
That rabbit-hole analogy now looks more like ‘Tunnel Rat’. Wow – indeed!
If I had faith in justice being served I would be long a boatload of long-dated out of the money puts on Crowdstrike.
Sigh… Maybe in my paper trading account. Millie Weaver’s memory holed Shadowgate documentary is looking more interesting.
I almost think the Trump campaign should sue the government to get it all out there. How could that happen?
The investigations ends if Trump doesn’t win this election but the larger problem is this Country pretty much ends if Trump doesn’t win. I guess it would be more correct to say the country has already been lost to the elite with The Donald trying his best to reverse some of the damage.
Carter Page was on Maria’s Fox Business this morning and was also amazed and disappointed that when he received his subpoena to appear before Mueller and the boys his subpoena number was in the fifteen hundred range. While the subpoenas issued by Duram group numbered only FIVE? Slow is NOT the word for this.
We really need a photo wall of shame that can be circulated so history and the American people, including the immediate families and future family generations whose member is listed can clearly see and always be remembered as the key people who contributed immensely in the destruction of this great Republic.
Because frankly this list will now include many names and faces of people once thought to have great character who have absolutely failed this Country.
I read on another blog, “ don’t you think that if Biden was truly ahead by 10-15 points, his team would be filing lawsuits across the country to shut down the counting of ballots after election day’? They wouldn’t risk it! Look around you, boat and car rallies everywhere; PT looking to start rallies and barnstorm until Election Day. And you can’t tell me that the 62 million that voted for the president is not now 70-75 million! We saw the Fantastic results of his economic and employment Numbers. Likely voter support of 32% in the African American community, and 48% in the Latino community. There is patriotic and enthusiastic support for our President, and no enthusiasm for Biden…and Harris is the heir apparent! Treepers have faith and spread the message…the pollsters, including Fox, are all pushing over sampling of Dems, and what Republicans they do supposedly sample are coming from mostly urban areas. We are looking forward to a landslide, and the Dems and Deep State are throwing everything they can at this….the desperation is clear to see!!
So if I use you number and PT goes from 62-70M votes that would likely mean Joe would go from the 63M HRC got in 2016 down to around 55M votes.
Or a percentage break down of 56% PT and 44% JB for normal voting or day of voting.
So in essence for Joe to win he will need in excess of 15M mail in votes in 2020.
So Joe would have to get a percentage split of better than 85-90% vs 10-15% for PT in mail in votes to win.
Now, Just how obvious would this mail in percentage break down be? The 15M votes would be over 20% of his total votes which would be a very, very high percentage.
Now, I realize this back of the napkin exercise is based on National numbers so this exercise really needs to be pushed down to the state level but my point is to begin to show just how obvious this voter fraud is going to be.
The question is, because the left has gotten to the point they don’t care or fear any reprisals plus they have the media on their side, will anybody do anything about this obvious voting fraud?
Come on man, who would be doing anything ?
This sad comedy – of alleged investigations of DNC dirty tricks and illegalities – is the contemporary version of Waiting for Godot. Many of us have completely lost confidence in the Department of (In)Justice.
Ever since election night 2016, when Trump offered Hillary et. al. a deescalation (“She’s suffered enough”), all attempts at a resolve have failed.
As mind-boggling as it should appear, the array of forces, domestic and foreign committed to removing Trump by any means necessary have stubbornly remained the same.
That has been a glaringly obvious tell every day ever since as to the size and scope of this scandal. Indeed, ‘greatest political scandal,’ while accurate, simply doesn’t capture what our Great Republic has been and continues to contend with.
We all have to get our minds around something that has become undeniable with all that we’ve learned in the last four years. In short, in sum and substance the coup didn’t begin in 2015/2016. Nor, rather obviously, were the preceding undergirding malefactions designed with Trump in mind.
No, it just so happened that Trump and political circumstances conspired to unify all of these factions in the dues ex machina that was and remains destroying Trump. That explains what they’ve been covering up, as well as why this wasn’t resolved with some scapegoats to this very day, let alone in 2017.
“Let me say up front that is where this story connects to the scandal of intelligence community “contractor” access to the NSA database.”
. . .
“If this sounds to you like the subject matter expertise and skill of Crowdstrike and Fusion-GPS you would not be missing the target.”
Think about it, either of these entities or individuals like Surveillance State Bottom Feeder Glenn Simpson were supposed to take one for the team. That they haven’t, and the powers that be couldn’t make them, reveals the scope of the corruption.
The surveillance state they built for political operations in the US isn’t the half of it. The extent and nature of foreign intelligence service involvement, allied and adversary alike, is too extensive to maintain this is wholly driven domestically. All roads lead to Brennan who, for my money, there is an abundance of information pointing to his belonging to Russian intelligence (and God Knows Who Else).
With a great deal of assistance, he was able to rise within our intelligence apparatus by gathering compromising information on high government officials, elected, appointed and career. When he became first Obama’s NSA and then CIA Director the Russians had achieved something even the much more formidable Soviet Union never could, a mole right at the top.
I remain convinced that Russia’s true objective was keeping him in place, which necessitated throwing the election to Hillary.
Needless to say, the USG can never admit this. I mean, talk about destroying all trust and credibility of these institutions! I also remain confident that the “Pee Tape” fairy story about Trump wasn’t made up out of whole cloth. It is the Russians ace-in-the-whole, last line of defense — a tape of Brennan in Moscow, whatever the sick sexual particulars.

Well, well, well, our blind squirrel might get his acorn this week.
I still firmly believe, none of this would be taking place without Sundance’s “Put a Boot in their Ass Tour” a few weeks ago.
I will be eternally grateful. Can’t say it enough. Thank you.
One more thing, If Dan Jones is “Max or Tea Leaves”, I wonder who the other criminal is. I am sure Sundance has given a clue that I fail to see.
I can see Dan Jones as Max, but Tea Leaves sounds almost feminine. Time will tell and I have faith it will come out.
Weaponizing the intelligence agencies is bad enough. Using a friggin’ contractor to do it should END the use of non governmental outsiders, even though they do seem a bit easier to prosecute. At least the low hanging fruit; ex: that idiot, Reality Winner.
Also have to take into account the involvement of other countries. Cameron resigned for his part in all this. He KNEW what MI6 was doing.
“Let me say up front that is where this story connects to the scandal of intelligence community “contractor” access to the NSA database.”
EXACTLY!!
Government employees believe they have the absconded “right” to protection from We, the People, and all of it on OUR dime. Glen Simpson and other “contractors” have no such protection.
That is the pressure point.
Use it Mr. President.
TYVM Sundance for your efforts.
You are a hero.
Sundance thank you and your team for doing all the heavy lifting of searching for and finding the truth.
‘Power of the Press’ …. WordPress… 🙂
What gets me is how many people thig this needs to be wrapped up with a nice bow before the election. This swamp festered for over 5 decades and it’s going to take more than one election to fix it.
Well, thanks very much Sundance for a job well done!
You have brought forth this great information for all the world to read, analyze and comment on.
Since everyone knows this information is now very public and people like, even, say….Rush Limbaugh read this site and has commented on occasion, sending kudos your way Sundance.
So, too, the President of the United States has commented about our Treehouse.
I feel more positive today than yesterday.
To the naysayers, it is what it is…naysayers….say “nay”! LOL!!
I’m finding this information coming forth now, and other little tidbits, here, there and everywhere, very interesting AND I believe it is making a difference to the benefit of our President and his Team.
Now, I have to get ready for Rush’s show today with our POTUS hosting and answering questions! Ha! It’s going to be a great day!
In my opinion, this is just more crumbs because POTUS wanted to declassify everything.
Chill, is my opinion.
The sequence of events is benefiting the left, the crooks.
THIS WAS AN INTERFERENCE WITH ELECTION BEFORE AND AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION. The public needs to know BEFORE the next election. IT IS RELEVANT.
The public needs to know what Biden was involved in.
I’m NOT saying that the following necessarily connects with the Alfa Bank set-up, but it’s food for thought:
May 25, 2019 in Gatewaypundit (similar in other stories): “Rumors are swirling that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a Hillary email scandal. Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.”
January 2017: “The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy. The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.” [Podesta gave up access to the DNC email system when he fell for a spear-phishing scam. What a coincidence.]. Occhionero claims and it’s reported that:
Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office. In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia. The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary’s servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.”
WE ALL OWE SUNDANCE AT THE CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE A DEBT OF GRATITUDE. HE HAS DOCUMENTED EVERY STEP, EVERY DOCUMENT, EVERY INTERVIEW, EVERY NEWS ARTICLE, EVERY TWEET THAT PERTAINS TO THE CORRUPTION FROM THE DOJ & FBI AND OTHER AGENCIES. HIS TEAM HAS ANALYZED, CROSS-REFERENCED AND PUT TOGETHER THE KEY EVIDENCE THAT WILL HELP BRING JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS. THE REASON I MAKE HIS POSTS DETAILED IS BECAUSE HE MAY BE DEPLATFORMED AND THE LINKS COULD BE LOST. THE TIMELINE THAT HE HAS PUT TOGETHER IS THE ONLY REASON WE NOW HAVE GRAND JURIES.
WITHOUT SUNDANCES DEDICATED SERVICE THERE WOULD BE NO JUSTICE, NO INDICTMENTS. PLEASE PRAY FOR SUNDANCE AND HIS TEAM.
The State is ‘Deep’ for a reason and their ability to create an ‘off-the-books’ world of Racketeering in plain sight from the American people while on the taxpayer’s dime, goes to prove they have successfully and thoroughly gamed the system.
Barr & Durham are pikers slow jamming this process for nearly 600 days while the criminals continue to run roughshod over them while carrying out their criminal enterprise without any genuine worry of exposure because they know time is always on their side.
Expect NOTHING of importance to happen before, or after, the election from Barr & Durham
I cannot receive any new posts on my Android. It stops at 10/05/20. Is this a problem with cookies, etc.
If Biden is elected as it appears he will, all of this effort will be for naught as his administration will kill this investigation and tell the public that it was based upon a false conspiracy theory. Sad but, I believe, true.
