In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe explains the scale of declassified evidence he has produced to special counsel John Durham.
Whether Durham or AG Bill Barr does anything with the evidence is an unknown; however, according to Ratliffe there is enough detail in the evidence provided to show gross abuses of power by the FBI, DOJ and intelligence community under the Obama administration. This aspect becomes important as you realize almost all of Joe Biden’s executive staff is from the identical pool of former Obama officials.
WASHINGTON DC – “Between my predecessor Richard Grenell in an acting capacity and myself, we have declassified most of the intelligence community documents that would be suitable for the public to see, that wouldn’t jeopardize sources and methods,” Ratcliffe said in a phone interview with the Washington Examiner on Thursday. “There are others, many many documents — I think it’s been out there that I’ve provided literally thousands of documents to John Durham, but many of those do contain sources and methods that we can’t make public for a number of reasons, including to jeopardize any investigation that’s going there. So I think the level of cooperation — I’ve given them everything that they’ve asked for.”
“There was an abuse of power and of legal authorities, and it’s not a question about whether those things took place — they did. I mean, there’s an FBI lawyer who is going to jail for counterfeiting evidence before the FISA court. And that after all of the Obama-Biden senior national security officials said the idea of illegal spying and abuse at the FISA court is a bunch of nonsense, and now, they’re sprinting the opposite direction,” Ratcliffe said. “I mean, literally, every one of them — Comey, McCabe, Yates — they’ve all said, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re shocked and had we only known.’ And so, again, the American people deserve an accounting, and I’ve certainly provided a lot of information to the now-special counsel to provide that accounting, and I’m counting, like all Americans, on him to talk about a lot of the things that I know that I can’t talk about.” (read more)
The British don’t want to be embarrassed concerning their involvement in an attempted coup in America. That’s the story.
I say F@rk them and Alexander Downer the Australian skunk (he embarrasses me by being an Australian) he’s always been a Silver Spoon elitist from the other side of the tracks to most Australians like me, who had to work for a living!
In 2016 they ran a smear campaign with Steele and a bunch of cut-outs. In 2018 they attacked our election system.
That country has been screwing with us from the beginning. Still we help them. They’d be speaking German if it wasn’t for us and what do we get? Kicked in the crotch. They can rot on their little island.
As it is, they’ll be speaking Arabic in 10 years.
2018 should be 2020
The House of Lords have been trying to rein in the colonies for several hundred years. Of course that body is full of pedophiles and communist tyrants; big surprise.
Let them try. We know what the result will be. History doth repeat itself.
Exactly. There are no sources and methods being protected.
CIA Sources: the Brothers Grimm
CIA Methods: fairy tales
Actually, they are protecting the sources and methods they used to engineer the coup…
Gen Sensibility says: “The British don’t want to be embarrassed concerning their involvement in an attempted coup in America. That’s the story.”
That’s the story? Avoiding embarrassment?
Sorry, but in no way could I accept *that* as being the story.
The pieces on the board are far bigger than “avoiding embarrassment”.
It’s about taking control of the government; installing a tyrannical authoritarian governance, with gaslighting to put on a front of “fair democracy” (even though they know many millions don’t believe it – still they’ll front it that way anyways).
The UK is farther along on that same path. Already well on their way to self-destruction; with the “people” rendered haplessly helpless except able to get impotently pissed while they watch it happen in front of their eyes.
That’s where they are taking us as well. And they don’t care if we, the people, like it or not.
But avoiding embarrassment is the story?
If so, then by all means, let’s embarrass them.
What is happening is not happening via the media … of any kind … cases and convictions don’t happen on the nightly noise … the next six weeks are going to be very tense, what with Durham’s ongoing probe and the dual tracked court cases being run for PDJT (Giuliani & Co., and Powell & Co.).
Durham is no Weissmann … Durham is slow and methodical, getting all his duckies in a row … Weissmann is a loud obnoxious showman, in for the thrill of the kill … and slow and steady wins the race, while showy bluster goes down in flames.
The fraud cases by Sidney will have a different impact than the efforts by Rudy aimed at state legislators (who have been shocked into awareness) and they have different time tables, but when the buffoons on the nightly noise start losing their dinner you’ll know that Beijing Biden’s goose is well and truly cooked, as well as is Cacklin’ Kamala’s.
Wouldn’t this be lovely? THIS is what I pray for.
I wouldn’t be so sure some Republican states don’t go for Biden in a House one state one vote.
Then those states will face revolt from their informed populace…backed up by all of the aggregate evidence showing the fraud perpetrated by the DNC machine and their globalist accomplices (primarily the CCP).
They have been testing us for months, by pushing us harder and harder, wreaking havoc with the economy, releasing their goons to trash our cities, and trampling our civil rights.
They know, that although many of our households are armed, we are a law-abiding population. They are willing to take their chances and make their final move: execute the final step of the coup d’état. They believe we will accept the results.
I pray they’re wrong.
My take exactly. They are already spineless, ball-less wonders, corrupt, inept, hapless leeches.
Time for citizen justice.
Ratcliffe said he has provided mountains of documents to Durham showing numerous examples of abuse of power……wasn’t it Barr that said….abuse of power in not necessarily criminal……..The End!
Barr just doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. You can hardly walk across the street today without committing at least one felony.
There are more laws on the books than they can keep up with.
A book mentioned by Sidney Powell. Consider how this could affect any president who truly trounces the deep state / swamp by ACTUALLY appointing people on his cabinet who will ACTUALLY do that.
Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent
The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.
When citizens wronged by the crooked system begin hunting those crooked prosecutors with dogs things will begin to change. That is my sincere hope. The American way of life depends mainly on common sense and common decency–neither of which are much evidenced by the professional political \ bureaucratic folk who now infest the government of We The People. If We don’t show them who’s boss they will keep running roughshod over everything We cherish.
About Barr, I tend to agree with you.
Or consider it from another angle, Leon. Weissman is a natural born killer, who wastes no time in destroying his enemies. He understands the fundamentals of combat. Kill-or-be-killed.. Durham is a career bureaucrat, counting the days until he gets the golden pension. He has no ambition, no killer instinct, and no desire to make waves. He just wants that pension, he doesn’t want to riled up anyone along the way. Weissman is Godzilla. Durham is Bambi.
you give weismann too much praise. he’s a weasel. when the guts start getting splayed, he will disappear.
Durham already qualifies for full retirement. He is 70 years old and has worked as a lawyer in various capacities for over 35 years.
Meant to say that Durham has worked as a DOJ lawyer in various capacities for over 35 years, usually as a prosecutor.
Starf – you are so right. It’s always about the pension with EVERYONE who works for the Government.
Look around you, in your own town or city, and see who the REAL elites are, the One Percent. They are the ones who work for the town, the schools, the county or the state.
They have no show jobs with salaries and benefits that we in the private sector can only dream of. And they never can be fired, no matter how badly they f—-k up.
And notice that NOT ONE OF THEM has had his salary reduced, benefits cut, businesses closed, fed by a food bank, etc.
And is there even ONE that has said, “My masters, the taxpayers, are suffering, they are impoverished and hurting. I want to act in solidarity with them. I will take a 30% pay cut, so our public monies, PAID BY THE TAXPAYERS, can go further, and we don’t have to further burden them with tax increases.
After all, the servant is not greater than the master. I will volunteer to be in the ditch with the taxpayers. They are the reason I have a job”.
Anybody, anywhere, hear ANYTHING LIKE THIS from a gov’t employee? Or have they decided to RAISE TAXES, and RAID THE FEDERAL TREASURY, to continue to pay THEMSELVES these lavish benefits, while their masters languish.
Despicable beyond words. In colonial times, this would get them hanged.
Will the House R’s vote Trump in though?!? I’m not so sure.
I understand each state representative has to vote along party lines. I pray scotus gets involved and it goes to the house.
Yes they will because we the people will make sure they do
If it gets to the house for a vote.
There are many paths to “victory”. At the end of the day it comes down to we, the people.
Like ExNilhilo.
Reading your summation makes me feel much better. I’ve been up and down as if on a roller coaster, and although I believe in our President, it breaks my heart that he is again being stabbed in the back by so-called Republicans. So want to see consequences for the ongoing criminality that has been nonstop against all of us.
How can we expect the SC to decide if the election’s determination should be made by the SC or the Congress if there’s no certification of the Elector’s vote?
I’m sooo confused…
If the SC sends it to the Congress (The House of Representatives) – which House does it get sent to?
A) the one that existed before the election?
or
B) the one that was determined by the disputed election ?
or
C) Does each State’s Congress (House of Representatives) decide who “wins” the seats for their respective Congressmen and Senators for the National Congress
and
D) who decides which two Congressmen get to vote?
and
Does the National Congress (House of Representatives) decide only who won the Presidency and also who won each State’s House and Senate seats?
My comment part D) above should have read:
…Who gets to decide who it is that votes…IF it comes down to “one vote per state?”
Scotus doesn’t decide the election.
It goes back to the State Houses who vote for a Presidential candidate by majority. Each State gets 1 vote to contribute to the 50 that will elect a President.
If this happens, although PDJT nominally wins 26 v 24, he has little chance, we can’t even get more than half the PA Republican State House members to support the President
today.
Republican State House members everywhere will take the opportunity to rid themselves of this troublesome outsider.
Relying on the electorate’s short term memory of a goldfish for there to be minimal blowback.
That’s just the way it is.
They think we’re going to forget their treachery and their determination to take what appears to be the easy way out.
I completely agree, History. They believe that if they can get rid of the interloper, all will settle back down to normal.
This is what they all want, Republicans as much as Democrats, to restore things as they used to be, by any means necessary.
Dude, anyone who’s been following this knows Durham isn’t doing anything. At this point the Trusty Planner crap is infuriating. Go back to the Faux boards with that q-tard trash.
Hi Gavin-exactly, nothing will come of the this.
What’s the point of releasing the “thousands” of docs now? Why did it take so long?
This is another distraction. I do not trust Ratcliffe-remember he cruised through Senate hearings and was confirmed 49-44.
WE ARE ON OUR OWN.
It appeared to me Ratcliffe was confirmed only because the Swamp, who previously wouldn’t confirm him, decided after experiencing Ric Grenell in that position that maybe Ratcliffe wasn’t so bad after all.
I like Grenell and think there’s a good chance he’s MAGA but what did any of his moves accomplish? Seriously, what were the results? Nothing. Just like always. Nothing happens to any of these people.
Great analysis!
Durham is just another Huber and bagpipes is just another Sessions.
With the technology we have in this day and age is beyond proof of what Osama and the whole bunch did and it’s way beyond enough to put many in prison.
When National Security is front and center they should all be arrested by the military or USSS in the middle of the night.
Sanjac- Agreed, no need for further dribble about this shit that has been going on for OVER four years.
I agree we have had enough: She did this, he did that. I mean seriously, how much more “He did this, he did that have to do with anything other than, “Oh, that’s terrible”.
If traitors, crooks, corrupt criminals are not going to be held accountable and go to jail what is the use? At this point if justice is not to be done, make sure Trump is President and we get on to living in a free America among known crooks and bottle-washers.
“DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report in December 2019 that concluded the FBI’s investigation was filled with serious missteps and concealed exculpatory information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Horowitz criticized the bureau for at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” in its surveillance of Page and for its reliance upon a discredited and Democratic-funded dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele.”
“17 significant errors” that all go against justice and against President Trump. 17 significant errors.
17 significant errors.
17 significant errors.
Yet no crimes? No obstruction. No RICO. No sedition.
Yet the average person comits three felonies a day?
Run out the clock was always the Deep State strategy, and the DS succeeded. Many of Trump’s closest advisors and allies implored him to declassify sooner while he had the chance, but for some strange reason, Trump chose to “not get involved” with the DOJ. Very big mistake, IMO.
Sundance indicated quite a while ago that there were several people in the President’s inner circle who were feeding him bad info and he listened to them because he trusted their judgement. If they were in fact part of the “resistance” then it is possible that he held off on doing things he wanted to do and “should have” done months ago but now he may be boxed in and running out of time…
Possible names that have been thrown around include Mike Pence, Jared and Ivanka, Ratcliffe, Meadows, Chris Christie (although this one doesn’t strike me as someone the President would have really trusted) and even Rudy (and I admit some of his actions early on did seem erratic and off-base).
Maybe we will get the whole story someday and maybe we won’t…my prayer, for a VERY long time, regarding MANY situations in my life, is that the TRUTH will be revealed and in such a definitive way that it cannot be denied or hidden any longer!
Who was feeding him good info?
When u are surrounded by people that want to kill you, the out don’t speak up until you are ready to kill them lawfully.
There is no other way to do that, than through the current thing you are seeing
Do what POTUS says to do tomorrow. Nothing else matters.
We at least owe him that.
My bets on Pence. He screwed Gen Flynn, was in charge of COVID, and other things. Never trusted him, especially after he screwed his state and folded like a cheap suit when the butt boinkers made a stink about the religious freedom act he was going to sign.
Salesforce, Angie’s List, etc threatened to pull conventions, and he caved. Gutless.
Agreed that President Trump received some very bad info and cabinet post recommendations in the beginning.
The first two years were very rough. People obviously lied to him about understanding his goals and objectives.
I think whoever recommended Barr for A.G. (it escapes me at the moment), may have been thinking in terms of a reasonable pick that would have little to moderate trouble in being confirmed.
Barr sounded great to start but I think as time wore on he felt the heat to move quickly, which is the way PDJT works, and he was very uncomfortable with it.
I now think Barr does not want to see President Trump re-elected. I believe he has made that pretty clear in his stall tactics and lack of DOJ / FBI involvement in this election fraud.
You can bet he will write a book some day. May he will come clean then. Who knows.
It was bush 43 at bush41 ’s funeral.
No vetting required to get confirmed.
The issue is not Barr’s “legal mind”, but the ruthless mind that he wielded with frightening authority and expertise as George H. W. Bush’s treasonous hatchet man in the Justice Department. William Barr corrupted the law, as grossly as anyone in modern history.
Unfortunately Trump never read Safire’s series “the coverup general”
https://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/12/opinion/essay-1st-global-political-scandal.html
Nor did any of his acolyte staff read:
“Compromised: Clinton Bush and the CIA “ by Terry Reed.
When I read he nominated him, I knew he would make no progress for 4 years exposing the psychopathic carnivores in the reeds: no accountability for Deep State criminals. As a result, Trump has all but plugged the drain at the bottom of the swamp – No indictments for Jim Comey, John Brennan, Hillary Clinton or any of the other swamp creatures.
“[CIA operative] Terry Reed had been in frequent telephone contact with the man he knew as Robert Johnson. Johnson directed the drug trafficking and drug money laundering, the training in Arkansas of Contra pilots and fighters, and authorized Reed to set up the CIA proprietary in Mexico. At a later date, Reed learned that Robert Johnson was really William Barr, appointed by President George Bush to be Attorney General of the United States.”
I bet he still hasn’t read this:
p. 270, p.654
“ ..there was a showdown between Clinton and the White House/ NSC/CIA gang.This meeting took place in an ammunition bunker at Camp Robinson near Little Rock, and included Catheyl North, Gomez/ Rodriguez, and “the man in charge,” Robert Johnson, who ran the meeting as William Casey’s personal representative.
Johnson’s purpose was to extricate Washington from what was becoming a messy situation in Arkansas. There were widespread rumors all over the place about the dirty operations; too much was becoming exposed. Johnson promised to fix any federal investigation, but he informed Clinton that the operations were being pulled out.”
Barr spoke directly to Clinton,
“ The deal we made was to launder our money through your bond business but what we didn’t plan on was you and your ***** ******* here start taking yourselves seriously and purposely shrinking our laundry.”

“Bill, you are Mr. Casey’s fair-haired boy … You and your state have been our greatest asset. Mr. Casey wanted me to pass on to you that unless you ****up and do something stupid, you’re No. 1 on the short list for a shot at the job that you’ve always wanted. You and guys like you are the fathers of the new government. We are the new covenant.”

And he will roast in hell for his betrayal of his sacred trust. And I will rejoice to see it.
Well I believe Pence wasn’t on the Trump teem when he pulled the “Flynn Lied to Me” scam. Didn’t Trust Pence then and now. Seems to be in his glory down in GA. Another GOP Player that got the political capital only by virtue of his affiliation with Trump.
Unfortunately, this great President has been too trusting.
Agreed!
He’s not a politician. He is a doer and takes peoples word for it.
Sadly the people around him have stabbed him in the back with some of their terrible advice.
He is a successful businessman – he finds people he trusts and he delegates decisions to them. He had no idea (nor do most people) of the absolute moral bankruptcy that has infected every facet of our government for the last four decades, at least…once lobbying took off in the mid 70s it simply became a bidding war where even the dumbest crook could get rich beyond their wildest imagination, once they got elected and learned how to play the game.
I am from Washington State – home to Senator Patty Murray who has been called “Dumber than a box of rocks” by almost everyone in DC but somehow has managed to win re-election four or five times so I know how this works first hand unfortunately.
I think Donald Trump actually believed that there were honest people in government, specifically in the Republican Party, who would want to help him in his quest to take the country back from the Globalists and the Communists…but now he, and all of us, know that was never the case, and they have almost completed their mission to get rid of him AND us!!
I think you hit on it. He takes people for their word.
No politician would do that. They all are weasels and scam artists to some degree.
Donald Trump was the shining light. D.C. couldn’t handle it.
Strike that – Donald Trump is the shining light and D.C. can’t handle it.
I remember ver well how the Republicans in Washington treated the tea party patriots
Especially Mitch McConnell. They trashed them in the media, the levers of government were used to
Punish them, IRS, Lois Lerner.
It’s the same playbook being used now only on steroids. I’m shocked Trump would not have
Noted this at the time and remembered, and been prepared for it. I knew it and it was then I was
Aware of mitchs betrayal toward ordinary Americans , and I’m for sure not as smart as President Trump. I didn’t know it was the deep
State but I was aware. I’m disappointed Trump and advisors weren’t more on top of this.
I disagree. Great business men NEVER take people at their word. They know the power is in the written contract and specifically the fine print.
President Trump should have known and learned after the first two years not to trust those around him.
Instead we are now in this mess because he overlooked common sense. This is fact, not conjecture.
I agree with you USAFirst.
Pres Trump is a very successful business man and to achieve that you learn who to trust and who not to trust quickly.
The business world is full of nasty back stabbers and I believe P Trump has developed excellent instincts for this.
Pretty much do not trust anyone until they prove they can be.
Highly successful business people learn how to work and move fast, they develop their own techniques to force people to show true character even if they try very hard not to or even if they do not realize they are exposed.
A lot of DC politicians think they are the smartest people in the world so possibly PT let them think that while he ran circles around their childish, dated, political games.
I do believe that P Trump has been busy spinning his own webs to catch them while letting them think they “had him”.
Like
Early on, President Trump, on the DACA issue, offered the Dems far more than they were asking for. That was a test. It exposed them and showed what their true motives were, when they rejected what they previously said they wanted.
I think citizen Trump often used such tests in business negotiations to find out where the other side really stands.
Never paint him as naive and trusting, he could not have survived the NYC real estate scene for one minute if so.
Trump knew where the polticians were taking America. That is why he ran. He likely underestimated the depth of the swamp. The entirety of DC is the swamp. The exceptions are few and far between. 94% progressive.
How do you build an America First government with that (progressive globalism) as the foundation? Four more years and he could defeat or severely disable the swamp. The swamp knew what he could do from the beginning. That explains the last five years of continual harassment and the current massive election fraud (by any means necessary). Mostly symbiotic relationships within the swamp and parasitic relationship towards those on the outside. I’m praying for a miracle.
He also thought the Military could be trusted. No so either.
I don’t blame the President at all. The whole damn city of DC has made life difficult for anyone there. Good people who tried to do the right things were run out of town my Soros and his minions. Which is 99% of DC, Pentagon included.
by Soros and his many 501c3 Community Organgizers
Put another way, he, as with most of us, could not have imagined there were so many snakes surrounding him.
I mean, am I the only one stunned by just how deeply corrupted our government at all levels is?
No, Jim, you’re not the only stunned one in the room.
I’m pretty rattled by the comments expressing disappointment that, in their opinion, PDJT did not do all he could to outsmart, outplay, and out maneuver the overwhelming number of those who encircled him and feigned loyalty.
He was a little busy deregulating, lowering taxes, building a user friendly business environment for Main St., moving heaven and earth to secure our borders and get the wall built, negotiating the new agreement with Canada and Mexico, shifting the little NoKo creep into neutral, undoing Ozero’s bass-awkward legacy, and on and on…
While our President was getting a mountain of stuff done, they were doing the cocktail circuit and plotting against him. They just want their own concentric circles of conductivity to be re-ignited without the drag of the pesky America First agenda to rain on their parade. So there you go.
I still maintain that they hate him precisely because he is so effective in getting stuff done, and they don’t even know where to start. He’s made all of them look bad. Jealousy breeds distrust. They couldn’t allow themselves to trust an American self-made man.
If we are looking down a new path later in January, the time will have arrived to launch our mass exodus from the Republican Party.
So… When are we gonna get the “Like” button back?
No just not in the loop.
He knew the problems but he needed to get his cabinet confirmed .
McConnell plugged up recess appointments.
He will unplug them for Traitor Joe.
I agree 100% on them running out the clock by surrounding him with recommended scumbags. Trump should have fired the top 1/3 of the DoJ, FBI and CIA. Then everyone should have required to re-apply and a loyalty test applied. In fact they should have been put to the bottom of the stack of resume`s and people outside of Washington in fly over country should have been brought in.
I truly believe The Founders meant for there to be citizen politicians and cabinet members not 90% lawyers.
Good news he’s prepping for war since 9-12-2018 against the traitors using DOD.
SHHH..ITS A SECRET, so…

Are those the documents Sundance already have them so they can come to the conclusions Sundance already pointed them to?
The lead FBI investigator on Durham’s team just looked at Sundance like he was talking a foreign language or something when presented with Sundance’s package.
Sundance posted it was quite revealing that the Durham team had no idea what they were doing or looking at.
It’s quite sad when an ordinary citizen with access only to open source material can produce the evidence that the FBI had no idea existed.
While I respect what Sundance produced, I imagine
What Jon ratcliff has is at a different level.
Why is a special counsel necessary, what conflict of interest exists between Barr and the departed FBI senior leadership? Makes no sense at all.
This is either a play to keep private citizen Trump from speaking out in public or, wishfully thinking, Barr has locked onto Biden ( and others) with prosecutable proof of sedition.
The special counsel isn’t needed because of Barr.. The special counsel is needed because of Sally Yates, or whoever Biden names to be his attorney general if God for bid he actually takes office.
IMO, The conflict is that the DOJ/FBI cannot honestly investigate the DOJ/FBI. That is the whole purpose of a special counsel, to eliminate conflicts of interest associated with DOJ/FBI investigating/prosecuting. Barr should have appointed an outside prosecutor and assigned Durham as the lead assisting agent.
Barr should also appoint two more special counsels, one for Hunter/Joe/China pay for play and one for election fraud. Otherwise everything gets buried, which is DOJ/FBI/IC/Dem objective. If President Trump loses, the swamp wins. If that happens, the least the republicans could do is put some roadblocks in the way to slow the fundamental transformation of America. But if they do so, the grift goes away so they will not do squat except play along with the destruction of the Constitution and Country while their pockets get filled with dark money, mostly from China.
If Barr has locked onto Biden with proof of sedition, I’ll buy everyone a round.
What good will this do after Biden s in office, we just get a Kamala
Then.
After years of Durham and Barr doing nothing, and Barr doing seemingly nothing with the astronomical evidence of voter fraud, I think we all know where this is going.
Barr and Durham will be nice guys and leave the report on the desk for the next AG and the next AG will laugh and throw it away.
But wait, you say Durham is now a special council. Meaningless when the media is in on the fix and the constitution is an absolutely meaning less document. But wait, you say the Supreme Court will never allow that to happen. Yeah, right.
The Supreme Court has no authority any longer.
Sad but true.
…contain sources and methods that we can’t make public for a number of reasons, including to jeopardize any investigation that’s going there.
Hopefully this isn’t a repeat of “We can’t comment on ongoing investigations.” and Durham sucking up all the evidence like Team Meuller.
A little late…maybe on purpose? Nothing will come of this.
Oh, I see now.
Durham’s s’got
this.
We just need patience and confidence .
Sorry,but I’ve moved on from hope in that particicular vector . I’ll spend it elsewhere,though the options in the political sphere are narrowing…
You are spot on Kansas Jim. The political options are nearly gone at this point. I don’t think many of us have faith in the courts. The future is quite dim if Kamala takes over.
If this obvious in your face fraud is allowed to stand then the Republic is finished. Everyone will have to contemplate the seriousness of that truth. But make no mistake the enemy is all in. They have no plan B. They have thrown fraud, riots, Covid and a wrecked economy at us for the purpose of their great communist re-set.
At our nation’s funeral, I wonder who we can get to play the bag pipes.
I just have to refer back to my deeply held belief that President Trump recognizes the gravity of what’s at stake and has formulated a plan and selected a crew to execute that plan. He’s a fighter not easily fooled and rarely defeated. I won’t let myself give into my fears of an army of Brutus’s circling for the kill. I rather envision the Lion getting his claws sharpened and muscles tensed, ready to shred the Hyenas. It’s what lets me sleep at night.
Gen. Flynn being the leader of that crew.
Twitter must be scared of what Sidney Powell is sharing at the moment as I get a warning when trying to view about unusual activity going on
Exactly. He had the foresight to enact the 9/12/18 Executive Order anticipating this. He’s definitely sharpening his claws, and like Santa, he’s double checking his list. If your on his $hit list, it’s going to be much worse than being on Santa’s naughty list.
Skimo69 — This is how I feel, too. Each day my belief that Trump won this election grows stronger and those Democrats and Republicans who rigged this election will be held accountable for their treason.
If it’s “pron” you enjoy, get the real kind, not this hope and patience stuff.
“Whether Durham or AG Bill Barr does anything with the evidence is an unknown …”
Unknown but predictable. Durham and Barr will bury it.
I pray Sundance has passed on his strategy for POTUS to declassify and and expose on to the White House.
Does anyone have that image of POTUS walking away form a burning DC?
I don’t think any paperwork will change things at this point.
Fat lot of good it did. He might as well have taken them out in the back yard and burned them in the Weber.
Put them all up on the White House web site. The bad guys may not go to jail, but at least they can’t deny their wrongdoing any more. Well, actually they will continue to deny. But at least the rest of us can download it and email it to our liberal friends for fun.
A funny thing happened on the way to coffee.

Yay. More hope porn. I’m done with it. I have zero expections and won’t allow myself to get caught up in this hope.
Concur. Wake me up when a state is flipped.
Like
What are you now, without hope?
A traitor hurting our hopes?
An honest person showing us better evidence to hope in?
What are you now, since you have no more hope.
POTUS will tell us what’s up tomorrow. Standby
I expect the 4-suitcases under the tables to be up on the big screen! He can start with that then I expect marching orders.
Well thanks John. Good effort.
Now can you meander over to your fellow co worker, Bill Barr for a visit.
Let him know the Republic is on fire, while he practices on his fluted whoopee cushion. Maybe he could spare a little time to look into this little problem we are having with a massively corrupt election.
Or not.
I am embarrassed to call myself a Republican for the last 38 years.
Everyday Durham investigates all day long with his scowl. He sees enough stuff to hang these people from a scaffold a mile long. He goes home and his wife asks, “How was your day Bull”? Bull answers with same furrowed scowl, “Well you know, same ‘ole sh*t”.
Oh, but that goatee…it’s so menacing.
If this fraud is not corrected it is time to change our voter registration from R to non affiliated. Here in NC we were given Tillis and Burr vs a Dem, that’s some Republican Party we have here. When they see their voter rolls (power) drop by 50% maybe they’ll wake up.
They don’t care on the national level – it’s the same party. They probably don’t care on the state level either actually – they’re hoping to get up to the big leagues and start taking bribes.
Same policies, same actions. What wrapping would you like on it? Pro-life yet can’t defund Planned Parenthood? Anti-War/No Blood for Oil and 90K troops deployed to the middle east? Economic Justice, followed by 10B for banks who gambled their reserves? Free trade, with 3 decades undermining U.S. companies abroad?
They’re all the same.
It should be possible to form a new Patriot Party and have it in action by the mid-terms.
Team Trump can provide a voting/candidate list of Trump-positive people. People like Louis Gohmert can stay. People like Kemp and Raffensperger and unAmerican Mr HB1 Josh Hawley are not welcome and can take a hike.
All former Rinos and Chamber of Commerce Republicans excluded from the party. Nobody who failed to act or speak up in these trying times. No unhelpful judges and sheriffs. Clean out all of the Soros DAs.
And patriots would SWAMP all of the counting centers to help resist fraud.
Would it be better to win now? Sure. Would there still be election fraud? Sure. But think what a hole a Trump Patriot Party would put in their plans for 2024. And then think how far the job could then be taken in 2024 when Trump runs again.
All of the backstabbers gone. Regaining control of local Election committees.
It is not over. Victory and regaining the USA is possible.
It cannot be done through the Republican Party. But it can be done through a Trump-led Patriot Party.
Remember, “Federal offices that are up for election during the midterms include all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, and 33 or 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate.”
From Wikipedia
Midterm elections in the United States are the general elections that are held near the midpoint of a president’s four-year term of office, on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Federal offices that are up for election during the midterms include all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, and 33 or 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate.
In addition, 34 of the 50 U.S. states elect their governors for four-year terms during midterm elections, while Vermont and New Hampshire elect governors to two-year terms in both midterm and presidential elections. Thus 36 governors are elected during midterm elections. Many states also elect officers to their state legislatures in midterm years. There are also elections held at the municipal level. On the ballot are many mayors, other local public offices, and a wide variety of citizen initiatives.
The traitor Rubio, the boy political pretender, is up in 2022. I don’t know who the GOP whores will want. I don’t know a single Republican who wants this talking-head, immature, ineffective, lying ass.
Why would Durham — as the (ostensibly) U.S. Attorney appointed to investigate these matters years ago — not already have the highest level security clearance he needed, or need Ratcliffe to declassify anything. Especially if nincompoops such as Schiff and Rubio can get them. And what happened to the other U.S. Attorneys. This all feels like some kind of deliberate Laurel and Hardy sketch. Everyone plays innocent and incompetent.
As for “sources and methods” already, oh come on. “The public” doesn’t need any more “information” that won’t be shouted on the news in the manner of the Iran-Contra affair and similar. “The public” needs to see perp walks. By the hundreds at this point.
You see, it works like this –
If you’re a democrat elected official, you have automatic access to top secret-SAP information. If you’re a democrat elected official implicated in espionage, you pass a TS-SAP clearance in record time. If you’re a friend of a democrat elected official and you work in media, you can access the NSA database. If you’re a liberal with connections to the deep state, you can listen to American’s phone calls, activate the Alexa in their homes to spy on them, read their email and access their bank accounts. If you’re a close friend of Iran, all the above. If you’re an EU stooge but will throw a couple hundred K to some RINOs or friends of the right people, you’re in too.
If you’re a non-compromised republican who won an election in a national landslide, you can’t look at the time card of the guy who empties the wastebaskets at the capitol. If you’re investigating any national security or corruption issues implicating democrats or anyone aligned with them, you’re to be kept in a sound-proof room in a strait-jacket and nobody is allowed to talk to you. If you’re a republican senator who chairs a committee overseeing anything close to the above, you’re allowed to write a sharply worded letter after being jerked around for 4 years. The letter is not answered, at which point you say some unkind things off the record, then send a couple fundraising emails and move on.
If you’re an average American citizen who pays your taxes and believes in the republic, you’re not only never allowed to know any of this stuff – you’re fed lies in print, television, radio and social media 24/7. And this is reinforced via every governmental and non-governmental agency possible by their actions, procedures, published propaganda and regulations.
Oh please- I am sick and tired of playing these games with the intelligence community, even John Ratcliffe at the helm. This is an insult to our collective intelligence to be going back to Crossfire Hurricane, etc. when our Republic is hanging by a thread and our President Trump is in grave danger of having his election stolen.
ALL of this election fraud was being planned at least a year out. 37 states illegally changed their voting laws and regs because Chi Com Covid and none of these geniuses in the Administration said a word. WTF?? Where was Ratcliffe, Barr, Durham and the rest of these highly paid bureaucrats while the Big Steal was being planned and executed right out in the open??
So here we are, being distracted by stuff that happened 4-5 years ago while the Titanic is sinking. Personally I don’t want to hear another thing about ANY of this until President Trump is safely inaugurated in January.
If Barr, Ratcliffe and the rest of them want to do something for the country and the Constitution, they should be working non-stop on this election swindle NOW, IN REAL TIME. There are actual CRIMES being committed but I guess they can’t spare the manpower to investigate them because they are still pretending to try and figure out what happened with the first part of the Coup.
Thank you for putting into words the absolute frustration that SO many of us are feeling!
Viking mom- thanks for your kind words and good to see you again. I can’t wait till we get the Like button back!
Thank you Seneca. Well said my feeling exactly.
Here’s a double Like for you!
Oh, Seneca – I do miss “talking” with all my dear Treehouse friends…praying that we will be able to do that again soon with “like” buttons and notifications AND that we will be celebrating and not commiserating!!
Blessings to you!!
There is frustration galore!
But folks are missing something very big in what Ratcliff told the world. In other words, the House of Representatives and the US Senate are now on notice that DNI is tracking Chinese attempts to coerce, threaten or bribe American government officials and officeholders at both state and federal levels. That should be a clarion call to any and all that if their judgment is clouded by extraneous considerations of Chinese influence, the US government will know about it. Therefore, do the right thing by this Nation, and when required to vote on issues involving election 2020, DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE THE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES, NOT WHAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN.
AMERICA FIRST!!!!
Yes!
AMERICA FIRST OR ELSE!
The law says so.
DTG20,
Thanks for pointing that out!
That’s an excellent observation!
Ratcliffe just threw down THE gauntlet!
————————————————————————————
Now, for the rest of the posters here…
I’t’s getting tiresome reading whining about “nothing happening”, and complaints that “Trump shoulda done this or that.”
Hello, folks, you have been falling for the demoralizing crap the shills are laying out.
It’s weird, but I see so many new (and negative) posters I never saw before the transition. Perhaps security is not as good (yet?)
Buck-up fellow Treepers and to hell with these newbie posters who want to bring us down and get us to hate on our own.
Sun Tzu – Appear weak when you are strong…
You all are falling for POTUS act. He appears to be losing while, in fact, he is simply watching all the traitors stand up to be counted.
And thinking they have won, they are all showing their true colors.
Clearly, VSG-STILL OUR POTUS-DJT is in a very strong position at the moment. How in hell could he not be? He set the stage 2 years ago with his EO… Does any self-respecting, thinking individual actually believe he would have gone to all that very specific trouble and then NOT make use of the groundwork he had laid? NFW!
POTUS is cool, calm, collected. That DOES NOT belie a hapless man without a plan. To the contrary, it reflects a man in full control.
Friends, let’s not lose the faith, and lets resolve to not watch idly as our nation is torn down should things become kinetic. Be prepared for whatever comes, and act as POTUS directs. If he needs us to rally, Rally- If he needs us to protest, then protest, If he needs us to fight, then fight.
Tom Petty sang that the “waiting is the hardest part”, and I agree it’s hard, but… let’s not be led into the doldrums by shills while we await Victory or further instruction.
Let’s be positive and proud that we have a LION fighting for us, and be ready to act when duty calls.
Trump knows that every good story needs a glorious ending, and he will deliver.
Yes. Thank you.
Outhouse Counsel- thanks for your comments.
Amen, Seneca! It’s bullsh!t. I agree completely.
Best comment award. You hit the nail on the head. My sentiments, too. Thanks
Like!
Exactly as I feel – well said Seneca!
Time to start collecting passports and work on the NO FLY LIST.
As far as any semblance of justice, that ship has sailed. If it weren’t so– over half the gov agencies & 80% of Congress would already be in jail.
The back-up was We The People deliver on it. Unfortunately, there’s only a few that have what it takes to see that kind of reckoning through. So they’ll just continue with their lawless BS, flaunting it in our faces. Until we decide otherwise– it is what it is.
Seems like we have been down this road before. For the life of me I cannot figure out why this and alot more is not made public.
Look at how pivotal the Georgia tapes have been. Then imagine their impact if they had been placed in an FBI cubbie-hole. Sunshine works wonders.
Yeah… sunshine. The media will have explosive stories and books, Hollywood will make movies… and it will all be lucrative and fascinating — after every federal statute of limitation has passed. Which, by the way, is happening now with every passing day. Five Years.
Testing 1 2
What’s your excuse now, Durham?
Admiral Mike Rogers is true hero. He exposed improper queries and unmasking. Private contractors, employed by the FBI, were given full access to raw FISA data. Page 83 forward is most damning. Who were the “contractors” and what did they do with the raw data?
https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf
Statutes of limitations. Five years.
Now – one component of the three letter agencies that has apparently been functioning fairly well the past 4 years is possibly counter-terrorism. It seems the domestic terror attacks slowed down so much they had to go after a mentally ill guy who sent plastic and batteries through the mail.
A far cry from the Obama years with muslims engaging in massive ethnic cleansing in the US a couple times a month and it always having been out of the blue, unseen and the work of groups of lone wolves.
Kind of makes me wonder if the boogeymen the ol FB1 keeps hyping are actually going to rise to the occasion soon, having had enough of these games.
Let’s hope this gets some traction and is used for the President’s election battle. We need all the leverage we can get.
P.S.
I think Ratcliffe might be one of the good guys, but why does his picture always look like he just snuck out a silent fart?
Your PS is sooooo funny, mon!!
Durham: Ahahahahaha!
Give. Me. A. BREAK!
This!
Either Trump’s biggest mistake or he wimped out – not declassifying all of Russiagate before Mueller was installed by his nominee Rosenstein? Declassification is an absolute prerogative of POTUS except for nuclear weapons related classification where there are statutory requirements.
I can’t believe anyone still thinks the Barr-Durham show is going to indict the coup conspirators. They aren’t. The Durham investigation was always a ruse to run the clock out. Durham followed orders. Barr is a traitor to the Republic.
Take a look at this video, it is one exposure – how Chinese Gov. has developed their handlers in the power circle of the United States, and how those US traitors have served CCP. The speaker is the associate dean of the school of international relations in the Chinese People’s University – which is known as CCP’s think tank & propaganda base.
https://youtu.be/mxKE944wEpo
This guy is bragging how they made their US handlers to work for them, which accidentally exposed how corrupted they are and how many and whom are bought to play for them. If we had a working FBI, those traitors would be in jail already.
Interesting background on this (in English):

‘Pentagon blocked Biden’s intelligence transition team from meeting with agencies’
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/pentagon-blocked-bidens-intelligence-transition-team-from-meeting-with-agencies/ar-BB1bDZVT
Look at the pic at the top. Somethings going down soon.
Unfortunately, the pic is from over a year ago.
Somebody at MSN lacks love for Kash Patel and Devin Nunes.
Snowfalling,
We don’t have a working intelligence agency at this point.
It works just fine. But for whom, is the question.
Why would Durham, a career bureaucrat, want to prosecute what he thinks will be his future bosses?
Durham is 70 years old. Chances are that he will retire after he finishes with this project.
If old page comments dont show up, try checking “save my info” when you post. For a few of us, this fixes everything.
Another year another coup attempt. Ultimately the Durham investigation is tied to the current election debacle if only because of the players being deep state and demonrat. Shedding light on the former would add support for the uncovering the latter. However I do not have my hopes up.
Remember Sundance’s statement – “There’s trillions at stake.”
Add mine to it: “Money talks – and each Rino-Republican walks.”
The “party” could help PDJT across the board, however, Rinos are very comfortable being in 2nd place as long as they have a place at the food and money trough – regardless of what Ratcliffe does.
We need AMERICA FIRST.
As much as I would like to get my hopes up regarding Ratcliffe this is too little too late. We need to make our stand now.
I called my rep Darin LaHood (R) in IL and I admit I was rude when I got a call back. When I talked to the staffer, I asked how old he was and he responded 57. I said I don’t want to sound conspiratorial but in your entire life have you ever seen an election where 10 states stopped vote counts on election night? His answer was simply no, then I proceeded to ask have you ever seen an election where they kicked the Republican observers out and continued tallying polls and got yet another simple no I haven’t. I then proceeded to state you do realize if this isn’t stopped now, he probably won’t win going forward. I said I didn’t want to live in a country with one party rule and the direction we are headed is not good.
The most annoying part is he read me some canned BS where LaHood thinks every legal vote should count and the integrity of our election matters. I said well that is just a statement what is he actually doing about it? I knew it was a waste of time to call but I have a glimmer of hope if 1000’s call saying the same thing maybe he will do something about it. The guy calling me back was just going through the motions and verified my address and said he noted my comment. To summarize, they don’t give a crap what I think.
The bottom line is the Republican party is in for a rude awakening if Trump gets screwed. We are the base of the party even if they are embarrassed of us and if they lose us, they are done. Do these jackasses think Trump can have a 90+% approval rating and they can all just go into the next election unscathed? I am at the point of saying F it I am done voting for them and let it all come crashing down. Until the sheep on our side actually feel some pain this is just a lesson in futility.
Well, at least I called my rep and gave it a shot.
?
“we have declassified most of the intelligence community documents that would be suitable for the public to see, that wouldn’t jeopardize sources and methods,”
There’s so much bullshit in that sentence.
This guy is a total fraud. Now we know why Mitch wanted him. And I love how he adds “I’ve given them everything they’ve asked for” which means exactly nothing.
None of these people in the establishment are doing jack shit to help Trump. They’re all traitors.
If I’m reading this right, I don’t like it. For those of us calling for the public release of the documents that we know will PROVE what we already know, it’s not good. Ratcliffe is saying “Don’t look at me. I’ve already declassified tons of stuff. Durham’s got it.” Then he says he sure hopes Durham will “talk about the things that I can’t talk about.” Basically saying we should talk to a guy who can’t be talked to.
About a month before the election, Barr said Durham wouldn’t release any info until after the election to avoid “undue influence.” As if that could somehow be worse than allowing half the voting public to be influenced by not exposing the monumental lies they’ve been fed!
‘Justice delayed is justice denied’ wouldn’t be a cliche if it wasn’t simple truth. We are like a family staring at the smoldering ruins of our once-beautiful home when the Fire Dept. pulls up and says “Relax, folks! We’re here now!”
Special counsel eh? This is new to me.
Cant wait fot the democrats admiring Joe Biden’s socks to look up and see a special counsel in front of them
Democrat politicians just killed 270,000 Americans. I don’t think Durham standing in their way is anything more than road kill.
.
I blame China
270,000 people in the US have not actually died from Covid. Get out of here with that bs.
Yeah the Democrats are scared to death of Durham. lmao What a clown show.
I don’t know the real reason for the appointment of Durham as a Special Counsel. It was my understanding that the President could have fired Mueller, and I am pretty sure Biden would fire Durham. Until Trump fires Barr and Ratcliffe, I will continue to trust that something is being done. Until Trump concedes, I will continue to hope and pray that a miracle will occur and President Trump will be sworn in on January 20th. In the meantime, I continue to express my disgust with the Republican party to make sure they know that many of us are ready for a new party; and hopefully we can take most of the 74 million that voted for President Trump with us.
yeah, thx for nothing, Ratcliffe…. “the American people have a right to an accounting”
…. and this was needed BEFORE the voting took place in 2020.
Steve McIntyre was right all along in emphasizing that achieving transparency and full public knowledge was much more important than the criminal investigative proceedings which may be too slow and too limited.
The “full declassification” that was always needed has been pushed off again and again, and POTUS Trump “authorizing” Barr/Durham to have declass. access is not at all the same as “release all the documents.”
Even now, the “sources and methods” excuse will block full revelations indefinitely. It should have been said that we MUST have full declassification and public revelations no matter what the cost in “sources and methods” (most of which is really just the intel bureaucracy protecting its own bad actors such as Halper, Steele, Simpson, et al.).
As far as I’m concerned, I expect the The Trumpet to prevail.
Quite simply, there is not existing in this world any single other being to whom you would want representing you.
Name one.
TRUMP 2020
Senior PRC academic boasting to large audience of PRC apparatchiks that China has made the Bidens even when much of the US elites were unable to stop Trump on their own…. the guy is highly connected and is just beaming and smirking about how the PRC has gotten what it needed in the 2020 elections….. so far beyond disgusting….
“Some background. This from
@jenniferatntd
‘s YT channel. The guy is a vice dean and vice director at Renmin University in Beijing. Renmin is the CCP’s training ground for new cadres. This guy doesn’t freelance. ”
“Watch him remind everyone of what China did for the Bidens. Wow.”
“Just ran this past a Mandarin speaker. The translation is correct but apparently it’s even more blatantly audacious in Chinese. The CCP helped the Biden family and now they’re triumphantly rubbing it in.”
“We knew the CCP would exploit this but the brazenness is something else.”
i am needing some positive vibes –
