It looks possible AG Bill Barr is trying to pull a sneaky fast-one against President Trump and the American people. Because what Barr is claiming to do, he really isn’t doing.
According to a stunning article by Associated Press, AG Bill Barr appointed John Durham as a special counsel on October 19th, and did not tell anyone.
[…] Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal statute that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe. He said Durham’s investigation has been narrowing to focus more on the conduct of FBI agents who worked on the Russia investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane.
[…] “I decided the best thing to do would be to appoint them under the same regulation that covered Bob Mueller, to provide Durham and his team some assurance that they’d be able to complete their work regardless of the outcome of the election,” Barr said Tuesday. (Link)
Today the Attorney General notifies congress in a letter:
However, here’s the issue… under DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600] a special counsel must come from “outside government“; so did John Durham resign his position prior to the appointment, or has Bill Barr just given the appearance of a special counsel appointment while knowing the legal validity of it will collapse upon challenge?
§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.
“(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.” (link)
Obviously Bill Barr is not stupid, he would know the regulations he cites would require the special counsel to come from “outside the U.S. government”, so what gives?
(AP cont..) A senior Justice Department official told the AP that although the order details that it is “including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III,” the Durham probe has not expanded. The official said that line specifically relates to FBI personnel who worked on the Russia investigation before the May 2017 appointment of Mueller, a critical area of scrutiny for both Durham and for the Justice Department inspector general, which identified a series of errors and omissions in surveillance applications targeting a former Trump campaign associate.
The appointment:
Bill Barr and John Brennan inducted into the CIA Hall of Fame at a simple ceremony conducted by Gina Haspel.
Rumor has she ran into some small pieces of lead while working in Germany?
Rumor has it that Stealth Jeff has everything under control.
Definitive evidence of Barr’s too-cute agenda of treachery.
Who is Bill Barr again?/s
Barr is as helpful as Sessions, only worse. Sessions was a goof. This cancer is evil.
Was PT aware of the Special Prosecutor?
I believe PT stated he was against appointing a S.P.?
Its not possible Barr outplayed PT especially after Sessions
Why has President Trump not called out Barr like he did Sessions? Why did the President refer to Barr as a “fair man” at one of the rallies?
Barr is Swamp/Deep State: no other interpretation!

Our corrupt government can not and will not fix itself……….
we will have to do it………………
Yep. It’s that tree of liberty must be watered thing..
Trump is so screwed if he does not win this election. Like Kim Jong Un political rival screwed.
Trump must be prosecuted to prevent his reappearance in 2024. (Biden/McConnell DOJ directive).
Since the electoral process has been compromised by the communists with their copious mail in voting, unconstitutional changes to voting laws at the last minute, disappearing ballots and hackable Dominion voting machines with Smartmatic software that uses Microsoft SQL (Microsoft awarded Smartmatic for technological innovation in elections) and no one in the media or government seems to think so including Barr, I’d say we will not be having elections moving forward unless Sidney Powell and Lin Wood succeed. We have become Venezuela and our Constitutional Republic has ceased to exist. Does anyone find it really creepy that Bill Gates has been really busy lately with regard to the Great Reset, vaccines, chip ID and now the actual software that was used to steal our election?

No, IMHO President Trump will be fine. In fact he will likely be very busy exposing a lot of crimes and criminals who are in government, deep state-aligned organizations, and media. And maybe prepping for 2024.
It is us everyday Americans who will be seriously harmed if PDJT is prevented from continuing his presidency..
That’s what is so frustrating – not even the morons who voted for Biden legally realize how screwed they are as compared to living under a MAGA presidency.
We will suffer greatly and be greatly persecuted, including our faith.
Like x 1,000
Perhaps he should pardon himself before the inauguration to nip that in the bud.
Et tu, Barrus?
This is the Trump Administration though.
I am experiencing Groundhog Day Syndrome here!
Allow me to explain: going back to earlier pages wiped out all the comments here, and sent me to faulty earlier pages. I had to regain access through Twitter.
I’ve cleared my cache so many times I thought my hard-drive might end up bleach-byted. . .and still all is quite wonky.
Agree.
I cannot even see any articles beyond “CTH 2.0 Maintenance Complete…” in my Safari browser no matter what I try. Deleted all history ands cache…still cannot see anything beyond much earlier today.
Have to use my Brave browser to see most recent articles and all comments.
Weird. But assume this will settle down after a bit..
Yes!! Me too!
This news is totally disgusting.
Coup d’etat, American Style.

Barr blows.
BTW: any plans for a mobile site? New site is Difficult to view on phones
Agreed. I find using my phone terrible. Help?
The most obvious SC appointment should be Joe Biden
This is how President Lincoln responded to his insurrection:
Sep. 24, 1862 proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln:
A Proclamation
Whereas, it has become necessary to call into service not only volunteers but also portions of the militia of the States by draft in order to suppress the insurrection existing in the United States, and disloyal persons are not adequately restrained by the ordinary processes of law from hindering this measure and from giving aid and comfort in various ways to the insurrection;
Now, therefore, be it ordered, first, that during the existing insurrection and as a necessary measure for suppressing the same, all Rebels and Insurgents, their aiders and abettors within the United States, and all persons discouraging volunteer enlistments, resisting militia drafts, or guilty of any disloyal practice, affording aid and comfort to Rebels against the authority of United States, shall be subject to martial law and liable to trial and punishment by Courts Martial or Military Commission:
Second. That the Writ of Habeas Corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or who are now, or hereafter during the rebellion shall be, imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal, military prison, or other place of confinement by any military authority of by the sentence of any Court Martial or Military Commission.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this twenty fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States the 87th.
Abraham Lincoln
I have heard General McInerney say that the President needs to suspend Habeas Corpus, declare Martial Law and conduct military tribunals. He says this is treason and an act of war by both foreign and domestic enemies. A fantastic couple of interviews on http://www.worldviewweekend.com
https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-12-01-situation-update-dec-1st-rogue-government-abolished.html
We are confronted with a rogue government.
Looks like you and I are on the same page! Something has to give, this is unreal!
It expressly says “John Duram, United States Attorney, . . .” Not “former United States Attorney”
AG Barr also said the FBI and DOJ have found no evidence of vote fraud that would affect the outcome of the election. Of course it does not matter. The FBI and DOJ if full of partisan Democrats. They do not seek indictments of fellow Democrats. AG Barr is just another deep state POS.
“The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.”
Couldn’t POTUS just fire Durham and order declassification as well?
One by one God is pulling the masks off these traitors. A few months ago I was praying fervently, pleading for the Lord to uncover the evil, to expose all of them!! When I began to see what was going I started crying and sobbing before the Lord. That morning as I was crying out to him, covered in tears He said to me in almost an audible voice, “you asked me to expose the evil and now you’re upset.” It was so powerful, I immediately stopped crying. Be patient patriots, I don’t believe God is finished. Let Him expose the evil so we can pluck it up by the root.
I do think President Trump is letting Barr fully expose himself for the deep stater he is, so he can arrest him for Treason too!
Sundance, if you’re monitoring this, we need the ability to reply to each other and know when someone has “liked” a comment. I say this not for any recognition, but because that was the power of the “Digital Army” that we are. We now seem disconnected, when we were once a community, a family, fighting together. We CANNOT be divided. Please find a way to fix this so we can ‘talk” to each other again.
Yes, we do. I feel like something is missing by not being able to “like” the comment.
The problem is that President Trump did not manage Barr directly or indirectly which was the most important presidential duty in U.S. history.
I’m confused. If the Special Counsel appointment itself doesn’t follow the reg’s, then the whole thing is moot (fruit of poisonous…).
Durham has no special powers, Barr didn’t actually do anything, and Congress can’t do anything to “protect” anyone. It doesn’t block anybody, incl. the President, from anything. Any one of them can do whatever they want, since it is out-of-order.
Indeed. The only way out of this box is to declare said “appointment” null and void, in the same statement wherein Barr and friends are shown the door.
But, wouldn’t this invalidate AG Barr’s appointment of Durham to head a Special Counsel so that in the event Biden became POTUS, first thing he’d do is shut it all down and we’d never hear another word? Sounds like the perfect easy way out to me.
So basically the first post comments at CTH2.0 is an indictment of Attorney General Barr’s inaction as reported to the world by the Mockingbird Media. MSM has really been supportive of MAGA and or Lion these past 4 year haven’t they. Why should we start believing them now?
I am frustrated too, but pretty sure the word is coming down from ODNI Director Ratcliffe and not the prosecutors themselves. There needs to be something strong enough to prevent a civil war and I dont think Fraud will convencine 50% of our great country one way or the other.
CIA is doing things lots worse than fraud. Within the election and the democracy as a whole. That is to say their day to day operations.
Test posting
This looks super suspicous especially after Barr declared no evidence of fraud in election.
On aside note, I came here through a link, when I try to just go to The Conservative Treehouse this isn’t there and you can’t make any comments. I cleared cached and history, is the site still having issues?
In theory appointment could be challenged by T admin as well???? Start process Dec 8 if electors don’t play ball? Then burn it all down?????
28 US Code 515, part (a) states:
(a) The Attorney General or any other officer of the Department of Justice, or any attorney specially appointed by the Attorney General under law, may, when specifically directed by the Attorney General, conduct any kind of legal proceeding, civil or criminal, including grand jury proceedings and proceedings before committing magistrate judges, which United States attorneys are authorized by law to conduct, whether or not he is a resident of the district in which the proceeding is brought.
The appointment scope does not include Durham being subject to 28 CFR 600.1, but 600.4 -.10.
So maybe this is another way to make the appointment of an existing US Attorney.
Correction – not subject to 600.3.

I might as well dump this here, since Barr mentioned – no issues with the election!
“SEC Filings Show Firm That Owns Dominion Voting Machines Got $400M From Swiss Bank With China Connections Before Election
FTA: An investigation into SEC filings has revealed that the firm which owns Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million dollars from a Swiss bank with close links to the Chinese government less than a month before the election.
The investigation centers on Staple Street Capital, which acquired Dominion Voting Systems in 2018.
Dominion Voting Systems operates voting machines in 28 states and has been accused by President Trump and his supporters of being involved in deleting millions of votes for Trump in addition to switching votes to Biden on election night.
The further we get from election day, the more questions that are raised about the manner in which voting was conducted, especially in just enough battleground states that Democrat Joe Biden needed to flip blue in order to ‘win.’
They include questions surrounding the ballot machines used in many states, and in particular, machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems.
sponsor
Attorneys Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and others with President Trump’s campaign, have alleged that they have evidence in the form of witness testimony and signed affidavits that foreign countries managed to manipulate votes in a way that hurt the president and helped Biden.
On the surface, some of the countries mentioned – Venezuela, China, and Iran – make sense given the fact that President Trump has been extremely hard on them in terms of foreign policy (which is to say Trump hasn’t taken any you-know-what off of them and has treated them like the competitor nations and potential enemies they are).
But to be clear, we haven’t seen any actual evidence proving these claims of foreign interference. And to be honest, few of us around here ever bought into the now-proven lie that Russia ‘hacked’ the 2016 election in favor of Trump.
That said, reliable sources are now reporting that there may be a China connection to Dominion after all.
Summit News, which was founded by Paul Joseph Watson, has more:
An investigation into SEC filings has revealed that the firm which owns Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million dollars from a Swiss bank with close links to the Chinese government less than a month before the election.

Dominion Voting Systems operates voting machines in 28 states and has been accused by President Trump and his supporters of being involved in deleting millions of votes for Trump in addition to switching votes to Biden on election night.
“On Oct 8, 2020, Staple Street Capital filed SEC Form D offerings and sales amount of $400,000,000 with the Sales Compensation Recipient identified as UBS Securities,” says the investigation report, which notes further that another payment of $200 million was received in December 2014.
“UBS Securities is a swiss investment bank which owns 24.99% of UBS Securities Co LTD, a Chinese Investment Bank. The remaining 75% of UBS Securities CO LTD is owned by the Chinese government,” states the report.
The principal owners of UBS Securities Co LTD are:
– Beijing Guoxiang (33%)
– UBS (24.99%)
– Guangdong Comm. Group [zh] (14.01%)
– China Guodian (14%)
– COFCO Group (14%)
With the exception of UBS, the other four entities are all connected to Communist China.”

Can somebody please show me where it says Bill Barr has the right to decide whether or not there was enough fraud to change the election outcome? Isn’t that a political statement? Isn’t it his job to see that crimes are prosecuted?
If there was an actual investigation going on, the only thing Barr could say is that he cannot comment.
There in lies the problem, all china has to do is register as a political party and Barr won’t touch them, only if u are labeled a white nationalist can u be ran to ground and perprosecuted by whatever law they make up as they go.
This guy Chris Krebs who ran CISA, announced that it was the safest election ever, then was fired, then was on Sixty Minutes with Scott Pelly repeating “the Narrative.” I have to believe there are other people below Barr occupying supervisory positions, and other Cabinet members who like Krebs are card-carrying members of the Resistance. Barr announced that US Attorneys and FBI could look into credible evidence of voter fraud. Someone below him is responsible for supervising that, and funneling the info to Barr. Barr reports what he is told, while secretly appointing Durham Special Counsel. The President hasn’t fired Barr yet. I guess I’m still with “We’ll see what happens.”
From the moment Barr told his troops “yeah you can look into credible charges of fraud” I’ve been waiting for him to back-stab POTUS with “we looked and nope, no fraud sufficient to overturn the election.”

It doesn’t matter. All branches of government plus MSM propagandists are against them.
The swamp runs deep…we never had a chance.
Oh, we had a chance but we’re not willing to take it into the streets.
I really wonder if president Trump realized how corrupted the legal institutions were.
I don’t think Trump realized the depth. Sessions vs the Deep State was a mismatch that did incalculable harm.

Even Barr..wow and does so what he appointed a special

I see nigella3 and jimmyharbs but everyone else in the comments has disappeared.
and there everyone is, again.
Hard to understand all of this. The American people are probably just as disappointed as I am. For myself, I am losing more confidence that anything will be done other than a slap on the wrist and training, lots of training.
Disappointed is the least of worries under totalitarian Democommunism.

Fat Bastard has spoken. Actually I hope he chokes on a piece of chicken and a bone gets caught in his throat. Hopefully, Fat Bastard chokes to death.

Rudy & Attorney Ellis respond to Barr
fta:“With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation,” Rudy Giuliani, a Trump lawyer, and Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign attorney, said in a joint statement. “We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined. We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud.

“As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ. The Justice Department also hasn’t audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.
Congratulations on the reboot!
Do you have the text of the AP interview with Barr, where he says he hasn’t seen any election fraud that would overturn the result?
Also, assume you know of the press conference that Phill Kline of Amistad gave this afternoon: very impressive, and damning! No drive-by media there, I think. It would be worth posting the video, which is here:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=amistad+project
Kline is not giving up on Barr yet (asked about it in the question period).
On that note, “Kraken-Wood” press conference 2:00 tomorrow in Alpharetta, all welcome, per their twitter feed. The more the merrier. Afterwards I’m buying!
Excellent video — thanks for sharing! I have a couple of questions: (1) did Jessie ever inform his own supervisor about the USPS transportation supervisor’s interactions with him, that he was made to wait 6 hrs., that he was denied a verifying ticket so he could be paid for that wait time? (Jessie stated that the transportation supervisor would never speak with drivers directly — that all such communications would/should be on a supervisor-to-supervisor level); if so, what did his own supervisor say about it?, and (2) did they ever find Jessie’s trailer (10 R 1440?) and who had taken it off the lot? These whistleblowers (and others who are coming forward) are true courageous patriots — I sure hope they are being given some level of witness protection.
