As one of the few people who have engaged in conversation with the lead investigative unit around John Durham I have held a rather unique outlook on this question since August of 2020.
See if you can find him below:
Having met with many of the top-level key DC players (including Durham inc) in the “Spygate” investigation/review or (__fill in_ the blank_with whatever name you need), here’s the ugly truth. The staff of the legislative bodies have/had no intent to actually facilitate any sunlight upon the FISA, DOJ-FBI corruption that took place over three years.
How do I know that?
Well, first having sat in a room with the legislative staff, top people who actually write the briefs and inform both congressional representatives on House Committees and Senate Committees, including the chiefs-of-staff for the chairs, it was clear they did not even know the information from within their own research when spread over time. Accepting this reality leads one to a natural conclusion… they don’t know, because they choose not to know… & they choose not to know, because everything is a pantomime for public display.
The system of DC is based on a series of unwritten rules… “You don’t out me, and I will not out you… and that will protect us both.” These rules cross over both parties to the extent they usually have a common enemy, us. The staff of Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, Homeland Security Chair Ron Johnson and even the staff of House Oversight Ranking Member Jim Jordan are purposefully and willfully blind.
They choose not to know things; or at least they claim not to know and do an exceptional job of purposeful pretend.
The investigative information that makes up the news cycles amid the investigative right-side of the spectrum is generally compartmented or silo’d. Within DC all branches and people within them keep information isolated from each-other in order to create and retain plausible deniability. This permits their leadership to talk a good game on television while nothing is actually accomplished.
It is all part of the game.
They shuffle the shells but there is no pea.
Everybody pretends not to know things… Think about the purpose of Robert Mueller!
Do you really believe there is not a single entity in Washington DC who did not know the purpose of Robert Mueller was to maintain the attack posture against President Trump and simultaneously cover for the previous surveillance and targeting operations?
Nonsense. Everybody in Washington DC knew what Mueller-Weissmann were all about, including congress (both houses), the entire intelligence apparatus and every entity in/around politics. That includes Bill Barr, Rod Rosenstein and John Durham.
When CTH pointed out this institutional process of nothingness the ‘trusty planners’ did not like the discomfort associated with the reality… I get it… no-one wants to be that cynical, and, quite frankly, at a point in mid/late-2018 the ‘trusty plan’ had evolved into a business model. However, what we saw with the Boasberg sentence of Kevin Clinesmith (probation only) was directly an outcome of this previously mentioned DC institutional preservation process.
Notice how no-one in the executive branch DOJ, FBI, ODNI, ever criticized Robert Mueller, yet we know to a demonstrable certainty the Mueller special counsel was likely more corrupt than the originating DOJ/FBI corruption the special counsel was protecting. The origin of ‘Spygate’ was bad, but the totality of the cover-up effort in the Mueller-Weissmann special counsel was exponentially worse. More actual laws and policies within the justice department were broken by Robert Mueller than any preceding corrupt official.
Let me wrap up several points above with one factual example. The example will highlight: (1) the legislative branch being purposely blind to evidence; (2) the corruption of the special counsel – pay attention to dates; (3) the corruption of the FISA court – contrast against Judge Boasberg today; and (4) the corruption of the executive branch though DOJ, FBI during the entirety of the Trump administration.
♦ Amid a series of documents released by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020 [SEE HERE] there was a rather alarming letter from the DOJ to the FISA Court in July 2018 that pointed out the DC agenda, the “institutional cover-up.” [Link to Letter]
Before getting to the substance of the letter, it’s important to put the release in context. After the FISA Court reviewed the DOJ inspector general report (Dec 2019), the FISC ordered the DOJ-NSD to declassify and release documents related to the Carter Page FISA application.
In the cover letter for this specific release to the Senate Judiciary and Senate Intelligence committees, the DOJ cited the January 7, 2020, FISA court order:
Keep in mind that prior to this release only the FISA court had seen this letter from the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). As we walk through the alarming content of this letter I think you’ll identify the motive behind the FISC order to release it.
First, the letter in question was sent by the DOJ-NSD to the FISA Court on July 12, 2018. It is critical to keep the date of the letter in mind as we review the content.
Aside from the date the important part of the first page is the motive for sending it. The DOJ is telling the FISA court in July 2018: based on what they know the FISA application still contains “sufficient predication for the Court to have found probable cause” to approve the application.
In essence, in July 2018 the DOJ (now with Mueller in place) is defending the Carter Page FISA application as still valid.
However, it is within the justification of the application that alarm bells are found. On page six the letter identifies the primary participants behind the FISA redactions:
As you can see: Christopher Steele is noted as “Source #1”. Glenn Simpson of Fusion-GPS is noted as “identified U.S. person” or “business associate”; and Perkins Coie is the “U.S-based law firm.”
Now things get very interesting.
On page #8 when discussing Christopher Steele’s sub-source, the DOJ notes the FBI found him to be truthful and cooperative.
This is an incredibly misleading statement to the FISA court because what the letter doesn’t say is that 18-months earlier the sub-source, also known in the IG report as the “primary sub-source”, informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk.
Let’s look at how the IG report frames the primary sub-source, and specifically notice the FBI contact and questioning took place in January 2017 (we now know that date to be January 12, 2017):
Those interviews with Steele’s primary sub-source took place in January, March and May of 2017; and clearly the sub-source debunked the content of the dossier itself.
Those interviews were 18-months, 16-months and 14-months ahead of the July 2018 DOJ letter to the FISC. The DOJ-NSD says the sub-source was “truthful and cooperative” but the DOJ doesn’t tell the court the content of the truthfulness and cooperation. Why?
Keep in mind this letter to the court was written by AAG John Demers in July 2018. Jeff Sessions was Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein was Deputy AG; Christopher Wray was FBI Director, David Bowditch is Deputy, and Dana Boente is FBI chief-legal-counsel.
Why would the DOJ-NSD not be forthcoming with the FISA court about the primary sub-source? This level of disingenuous withholding of information speaks to an institutional motive.
By July 2018 the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?
It doesn’t take a deep-weeds-walker to identify the DOJ motive.
In July 2018 Robert Mueller’s investigation was at its apex.
This letter justifying the application and claiming the current information would still be a valid predicate therein, speaks to the 2018 DOJ needing to retain the validity of the FISA warrant…. My research suspicion is that the DOJ needed to protect evidence Mueller had already extracted from the fraudulent FISA authority. That’s the motive.
In July 2018 if the DOJ-NSD had admitted the FISA application and all renewals were fatally flawed Robert Mueller would have needed to withdraw any evidence gathered as a result of its exploitation. The DOJ in 2018 was protecting Mueller’s poisoned fruit.
If the DOJ had been honest with the court, there’s a strong possibility some, perhaps much, of Mueller evidence gathering would have been invalidated… and cases were pending. The solution: mislead the court and claim the predication was still valid.
Two more big misstatements within the July 2018 letter appear on page #9. The first is the DOJ claiming that only after the application was filed did they become aware of Christopher Steele working for Fusion-GPS and knowing his intent was to create opposition research for the Hillary Clinton campaign. See the top of the page.
According to the DOJ-NSD claim the number four ranking official in the DOJ, Bruce Ohr, never told them he was acting as a conduit for Christopher Steele to the FBI. While that claim is hard to believe, in essence what the DOJ-NSD is saying in that paragraph is that the FBI hoodwinked the DOJ-NSD by not telling them where the information for the FISA application was coming from. The DOJ, via John Demers, is blaming the FBI.
The second statement, equally as incredulous, is at the bottom of page nine where the DOJ claims they had no idea Bruce Ohr was talking to the FBI throughout the entire time any of the FISA applications were being submitted. October 2016 through June 2017.
In essence the claim there is that Bruce Ohr was working with the FBI and never told anyone in the DOJ throughout 2016 and all the way past June 29th of 2017. That denial seems rather unlikely; however, once again the DOJ-NSD (Weissmann) is putting the FBI in the crosshairs and claiming they, the special counsel, knew nothing about the information pipeline.
Bruce Ohr, whose wife was working for Fusion-GPS and assisting Christopher Steele with information, was interviewed by the FBI over a dozen times as he communicated with Steele and fed his information to the FBI. Yet the DOJ claims they knew nothing about it.
Again, just keep in mind this claim by the DOJ-NSD is being made in July 2018, six months after Bruce Ohr was demoted twice (December 2017 and January 2018). If what the DOJ is saying was true (it wasn’t), well, the FBI was completely off-the-rails and rogue.
CTH did not buy the DOJ-NSD spin.
Why?
The reason is simple, the DOJ was claiming in the July 2018 letter the predication was still valid… if the DOJ-NSD (Mueller team) genuinely didn’t know about the FBI manipulation, they would be informing the court in 2018 the DOJ no longer supported the FISA application due to new information. They did not do that. Instead, in July 2018, they specifically told the court the predicate was valid, yet the DOJ-NSD knew it was not.
The last point about the July 2018 letter is perhaps the most jarring. Again, keep in mind when it was written Chris Wray is FBI Director, David Bowditch is Deputy and Dana Boente is FBI chief legal counsel.
Their own FBI reports, by three different INSD and IG investigations; had turned up seriously alarming evidence going back to the early 2017 time-frame; the results of which ultimately led to the DC FBI office losing all of their top officials; and knowing the letter itself was full of misleading and false information about FBI knowledge in/around Christopher Steele; this particular sentence is alarming:
“The FBI has reviewed this letter and confirmed its factual accuracy?”
Really?
As we have just shared, the July 2018 letter itself is filled with factual inaccuracies, misstatements and intentional omissions. So who exactly did the “reviewing”?
This declassification release raised more questions than any other; and yet no-one, not a single investigative body, asked questions about it…
Why?…
Because the letter itself was prima-facie evidence of lies directly from the special counsel of Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann. No-one in the executive branch, legislative branch or even judicial branch wanted to highlight the corruption of the special counsel.
Here’s the Full Letter. I strongly suggest everyone read the 14-pages slowly. If you know the background, this letter is infuriating… AND keep in mind, every single staff member in the House and Senate (those investigating the issue) said they never saw it.
That’s how badly broken the system of justice, and the system of checks-and-balances in Washington DC, really is. What we are seeing now in the blatant targeting, silencing, and outright in-your-face behavior is a downstream result of the system knowing everyone is too far gone…. they have nothing to fear now.
Chris Wray is still FBI Director, Merrick Garland is now Attorney General; Lisa Monaco is Deputy AG and… wait for it…. John Carlin is back inside the DOJ as the lead asst to Monaco in Main Justice. Carlin previously lied to the FISA court, and the court is well aware that John Carlin lied to them; unquestionably knowledgeable, yet the Biden administration is confident in their fearlessness such that they would reinstall him.
‘nuf said.
Far too many of our politicians are either fools or wicked people or perhaps both. Universal suffrage is the worst way to choose leaders. This should be entrusted to a much smaller group of people – those who are older, wiser and have proved themselves to be decent hardworking citizens
You don’t see any problems with that ?
The original Constitution limited suffrage to property owners. The Founders had among their primary concerns to protect property rights of individuals.
That was done to break free from the Feudal Systems and Serfdom that were dominant all over the world in 1776.
Thomas Jefferson had a vision for a nation of land-owning family farms, shopkeepers who owned their place of business such as blacksmiths, inns, merchants, fishermen, etc.
Hence, limiting the vote to people who were doing good for the fellow citizens, and each property owner was looking out to protect the rights of others. If one was threatened, all felt threatened and came to each others defense. Kind of like a “bucket brigade” to put out fires. It was an excellent system.
Also – very important – U.S. Senators were elected by State Legislatures and could be recalled and replaced, before the mistake of the 17th Amendment. A check and balance that kept the Senate from turning into a “House of Lords”.
excellent understanding of our history and where forks in the road happened.
it’s house of tools now.
we the people still exist.
all my life I thought I was nothing.
BUT PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO NOTICE.
I DO EXIST.
the gap narrows
stage 3 advances
more will join in dissent towards a corrupt central government.
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO NOTICE.
your life does matter.
stay frosty
get ready and have a plan
God Bless America
I think this is essentially what has happened.
unfortunately, the small group is currently ; Soros, Obama , ( younger ) Biden, Rice, XI and other nefarious bad actors.
Your list is way to small of individuals or agencies.
The most corrupt of all is the intelligence community and our Military Brass sucking up billions in the DOD while spreading it all over communist politicians worldwide
That OLDER-long-term-pols group is what we have:
Pelosi
Mitch
Schumer
Mittens
soros
Gates
Klaus Schwab/Davos/Great Reset
Biden
Grassley R 86
Pascrell – D 83
Napoliano D 83
Hastingss D 83
Roberts R 84
Johnson D 84
Inhofe R 85
Shelby R 86
Feinstein D 86
Young R 86
Proof of life???
Cognitive tests???
Mandatory retirement by age and/or terms?
Yes to all of the above.
The “small group of people” already run the show and we’ve been stuck in a ditch now for at least 1 generation. Every day government and their barking dogs in the Media tell us how bad we are and how, for our own good, they are going to reduce rations and put up more barbed wire “for our own good”.
If China wins, it will only be because America was destroyed from within.
Yikes! We used to talk like that in college!
’cause we were sooo smart!
Sarc!!!!
That raises thoughts of the 17th Amendment. Not sure, but I believe that was enacted to combat corruption (!). Perhaps it has come time to repeal, if at all possible, the 17th and return the power to appoint US Senators to the States. This will heighten the importance of the States on the national stage. Our efforts for countering the left could then be focused down to a more local level. I just think that the 17th has contributed to the gestation of this swamp. Repeal th 17th and hold Congressional sessions as infrequently as Texas does with the added bonus of moving the Congressional meeting out of DC into an alphabetic series of State Capitals. That might shake lose a few swamp positions.
Okay, I am stupid. The title says, “Trump asks a question.” I kept looking for something resembling a Trump question but not seeing it. Am I supposed to reassemble from the writing some question that Trump asked that everyone knows but me? Most likely referring to a previous Trump question about an investigation, but not mentioned explicitly here. I just love puzzles. I do very well with them. But now I am reading a political blog and explicitness goes a very long way.
Where’s Durham ? It’s not rocket science
Did you not see the post above the where’s Waldo post? The questions, and there are several, are plain as day.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-wheres-durham_3751525.html
Read the text of the statement at the top of the article.
At the bottom of the graphic at the top of the article: “Where’s Durham? Is he a living, breathing human being? Will there ever be a Durham report?”
not very bright are you ?
Huh. President Trump actually asked three questions. That’s what those squiggly things ( ? ? ? ) are at the end of each of those three questions.
Where is Durham?
He’s at home …………. washing his tights!
This is where it came from originally:
https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-wheres-durham_3751525.html
I overlooked it too because the type size makes it look like more argly-bargle before you get to the picture. But it is there.
We’ve all been waiting for godot!
That was the worst play I’ve ever seen
At least it was short.
Your critique is valid. Sundance weakened the beginning of this comprehensive review of the corruption of the DOJ by not quoting DJT’s question explicitly in the text and then addressing what the questions portended.
It would have been nice if he had provided his insights as they specifically related to President Trump’s questions about John Durham. This letter is significant and after many paragraphs of background to provide context the questions are glossed over by the writer. The context is never used to address the questions.
President Trump knows something that motivated him to put this out, and it may serve one or purposes of which we can’t conceive.
One of the problems with President Trump is that he never seems to really “put it out“ to the public in the real terms that their behavior demonstrates: that they are all criminally seditious and that our nation has been subverted by a seditious and treasonous conspiracy involving our intelligence services our Congress and our judiciary. Trump should come out, and he should have long ago, calling a spade a spade using the ugliest of terms which are true, Calling a spade a spade and naming names.
President Trump is pointing this out for some reason. We need to use our collective research skills and brain power to come to the conclusion.
My guess he doesn’t ask a question he doesn’t already know the answer to.
The American people are like children. They want to be spoon fed their news. It doesn’t happen like that. For the Americans that believe their spoon fed news….well, you see where that has gotten us.
We all need to do our research. And not to be afraid of where that research takes us.
It’s not rocket science.
yes you are stupid.
See the 3 questions under the seal.
Your arrogance surpasses your ignorance.
Are there Democrats among us?
No, this doesn’t make you stupid, you just looked in the wrong place and skipped over it.
However, if you still can’t see it…..then there may be reason for concern.
Ha, yea. The questions are actually in the subtitle at the top. It is a pretty good question since the article goes from there in a specific direction.
I’ve grown to hate rhetorical questions.
I’ve begun to think that when it comes to politics, there are no rhetorical questions – just people asking questions they don’t really want answered.
Never ask the perpetrators to police themselves.
Problem is, our form of government never envisioned so MANY perpetrators that there would be NO ONE to police them.
Yup. It sure boggles the mind that despite all the leaks around conservatives, this filth never disturbs anyone enough for them to drop a dime.
Sounds like something Bill Barr would say.
As far as the Junta is concerned, this is old news to be flushed down the memory hole. Now unite behind the leader who has been chosen for you. Remember kids, opposition is insurrection and will not be tolerated.
“Remember kids, opposition is insurrection and will not be tolerated.”
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.in/politics/world/news/biden-says-he-has-no-idea-if-there-will-be-a-republican-party-in-2024/amp_articleshow/81695523.cms
“President Joe Biden scoffed when asked during a press conference on Thursday whether he expects to run for reelection against former President Donald Trump in 2024. He suggested the GOP might not even exist in three years.
“Oh, come on. I don’t even think about – I have no idea,” Biden said when asked whether he’ll be facing off against Trump. “I have no idea if there will be a Republican Party. Do you?”
That is one of the most bizarre, if not loaded, questions I’ve ever seen a politician ask.
Ever.
Is it the dementia, or a plan?
“I have no idea if there will be a Republican Party. Do you?”………….
……..”Remember kids, opposition is insurrection and will not be tolerated.”
Thank-you for the research and solid journalism you put forward.
After the election was stolen I have found many people I interact with have become deeply suspicious of our corrupt government, many for the first time ever are paying attention. Countless times I have forwarded commentaries from Sundance and strongly urged people to follow this website.
The country is waking up slowly, the MAGA movement is growing, people are righteously angry about what is happening, and I believe we are reaching a tipping point. The political class is acting in haste because they know we know and they can no longer control the narrative.
I would like to believe what you wrote but at this point I truly believe that the majority of the people have written off the whole process and the government in particular. It’s a huge clown show, kinda like the old Monty Python series it’s one ridiculous scene after another. Of course Monty Python was genius compared to our government officials, and I’m speaking about both sides because the r side is just as pathetic.
Durham…is alive…I have seen his short video about week ago…he reply for ppl who think he not doing job and he did quit….
Yes. Very excellent research and writing. Thank you for real journalism.
Now, I am iof to see whether I can find some real journalism to explain the Myanmar situation and the role of the superpowers in it.
Brilliant Wrap Up. I think anyone who followed SpyGate closely already knows about the letter and the motive the doj had for the protection of Mueller’s investigation and prosecutions. Sundance has condensed three years of research into this one post. It’s A Keeper.
I also appreciated the most important nugget to take away. Washington operates solely on “Plausibility Deniability”. What they don’t know and refuse to see allows the wheels to turn smoothly, and no one can ever be held accountable for what they don’t know.
The whole D.C. establishment is the ultimate Dog & Pony Show and criminals are running it.
There’s no mirrors in Washington
Even if there were mirrors, there’d be no reflection.
I admit to often getting lost in the tall grass.. but I think I get the gist of this whole debacle. Durham failed to launch..
TY for a great article.. astounding, and infuriating.
Must’ve been made by SpaceX….
Excellent bottom line summary, amwick. May I add, you never sound as if you get “lost in the tall grass”, but I know exactly what you mean. Been there; done that. Nice shiny, new tennis rackets, btw.
amwick,
Durham failed to launch..
It was by design and specifically a feature built into that design. Not a flaw.
It is beyond infuriating that each and every such “launch” always failed when it benefitted President Trump and was on the side of truth and always took off spectacularly when benefitted the dem criminals.
Worst part of all – I am beyond frustrated that decent intelligent folks I know are turned into zombies believing every single false propaganda against President Trump – even today.
I will give you one example – a guy, an MBA, when I told him that now since Biden is installed, you better be prepared for higher gas prices. His response was unbelievably mind numbing for me -“The gas prices will rise because Biden will open the economy that scammer Trump destroyed” – and no, he was not trying to rub me in a wrong way but actually believed what he told me.
I, too, have been subjected to this kind of lunacy from people who have no common sense or discernment. It is most disturbing to realize people can actually respond in such a manner. It is as if they are a completely different species.
I am married to one. 🙁
So here we are….
Everything we have heard from our government was a lie..
Everything we heard from the MSM was a lie..
I believe the attempted gun grab attemp will begin within the next two weeks.. every citizen will be labeled a felon by EO.
I predict the next huge lie will be the Alien lie due in June July..
>…………..
We need to band together and follow the alien suggestions.. a green new deal.. a one world government..
And get rid of all the white skins…
Well us white skins have served our purpose.. we launched the industrial revolution.. our creativity brought great health and prosperity.. and we are no longer needed..the robots and AI is here..
Where are we headed.. look at South Africa, Zimbabwe..look at the peasants in China..
China’s fishing fleet is raping the seas belonging to the Philapines.. all our food production is being bought up by China.. our new uneducated BLM head will sell off all our resources..
>……………………
I had wondered why the insurection act was not enacted.. now I know.. President Trump had zero support.. not congress, the courts, cia/FIB.. MSM
The question is when do the Citizen stop the plunder of our nation..
Perhaps we should coin a familiar phrase…
We want freedom..
When do we want it…NOW..
Somehow the phrase think nationally act locally comes to mind.. if MSM doesn’t want to print the truth is there any need for them.. this country needs a free press..MSM no longer serves the people.. it just spreads the Faucci lies .. might be time to picket all the local news stations
‘we want the truth..
When do we want it…NOW..
The last battle will be the fall of the ‘Bastile’.. DC
MAGA
Everything from the government IS a lie. So are the EO’s that usurp the Constitution. So, let’s ignore it and have another TEA PARTY.
That is exactly what we need to do; take the truth/facts local.
Along with demanding loca broadcast news expose the corruption, there is need for print media on a local/state level to push out the same.
Many people mourn the loss of local newspapers. That is where the majority of folks (older) got their news.
Starting up print news locally again would fill that need and I believe, give strength to many who truly don’t know what’s going on.
They know something is wrong with gov, but not what or how deep that something goes.
Obviously I’m not a great writer, but I will definitely give my time to distribute print media in everyway that I can.
Getting information out in other forms besides internet is very much needed.
Imagine if all this was purposed to roll out the covid government.
BINGO!
That’s exactly what it is. With the China virus they can do whatever they want. It’s all about safety don’tchaknow?
It is my understanding that President Trump never asks open public questions that he does not know the answer to. It seems he is pushing the issue. I am curious why he is pushing right now?
For the same reason..that SUndance published this article.. it’s time to act. NOW..
MAGA
Early in 2011, I became so concerned with what looked like a coverup of a crime, involving local government, that I phoned the FBI.
The person I spoke with was, to put it politely, a moron. Completely clueless as to the implications of what I was telling him, and unaware that it may have been a job for his agency to find out.
It’s part Peters principal .. the other is never hire someone more intelligent then you are.. he will climb up the career ladder quicker and take your promotion..
Government agencies don’t want independent thinkers they want yes men. Don’t analyze…just do..
That’s why they will have no problem following unconstitutional EO as law.
It will be up to us to remind them to read the constitution and the Bill of Rights
MAGA
Another point to your point..we are in a time when it’s not the best person for the job anymore, it’s one black, one brown, one Chinese, one female, one LGBTQ, (one of each), one handicapped. Once the special interests groups and politically correct, virtue signaling is complete…and the non binary washrooms are in place, there is no room for competence, but hey they complied with all the social justice rules..so who cares? After all, the smart people are running the show, the underlings don’t need to know anything, it’s all handled at the top….there! I said it! The elephant ? in the room has finally been found and exposed!
Same in the schools system, Hans, public and independent.
Not defending the Famous But Incompetent (FBI), but did you speak to an actual agent or a flunky that just answers the phone?
What’s the difference?
If the person who is the point of contact with the public is not trained as to what to do with information they receive, it’s that way for a reason, I’ve learned.
All levels of government, since 9/11, have used that as an excuse to barricade themselves away from the public.
Phone answering flunky, who I could not get past.
Typically, the duty officer who handles phone complaints and requests is an FBI Agent on a rotating basis.
I was thinking the person did not sound like the usual flunky, but after my brief conversation and hearing his silly answers, I realized that this was no use.
I had my doubts about the FBI WAY before then, but it was really unsettling to get someone that dumb on the line.
Business as usual.
If this was done to the Dems it would have been bigger than Watergate with some real prosecutions. Big difference in what one side is allowed to get away with here.
Many have abandoned all hope. Tundra Tabloids ceased updating on Jan 6.
DoJ,IC, DoS, corruption completely blocks intended function.
The Left, the globalist, the CCP, they are free to endlessly gloat. Like Time magazine & Mollie Ball. We are powerless.
We are now entitled to envy dead.
I don’t know how many of you have seen this, but it is heartwarming GREAT news.
FINALLY some push back from the Trump supporting branch of the GOP.
Maybe they will finally GET IT.

Interesting. But without knowing the “who’s who,” I am dubious.
Sorry, they can organize all the PACs they want but until the fraudulent election is overturned, it doesn’t matter.
DeMint paying himself $371,000 to be a Director of this group at 20 hours/week….. This is just another scam like CPAC run by Schlapp….. ripping off the donors… They are just building another fake “charity” following the Clinton model to collect money from “donors” who want favors….

“What we are seeing now in the blatant targeting, silencing, and outright in-your-face behavior is a downstream result of the system knowing everyone is too far gone…. they have nothing to fear now.”
They have nothing fear showing there is no separation of power. This will end our Republic and transition us to a parliamentary system which will remove our Bill of Rights.
If they can steal an election and reopen borders, they steal your voice, your rifles and your liberty.
Walk them to the Potomac
The Radical Left, as a minority, is playing the propaganda, population management, and intimidation game for all it’s worth and they are masters at it. That being said, an over-reach may cause the mood of the Country to change and they won’t have happy smiles and high fives anymore.
When Andrew Oliver was appointed Royal Stamp Commissioner for Massachusetts, rioters ransacked his home. He resigned the next day. By November 1, 1765, the day the Stamp Act was to officially go into effect, there was not a single stamp commissioner left in the colonies to collect the tax.

Kilroy was here, but as usual didnt leave any evidence except the writing on the wall….still echoing off those subway walls and tenemant halls. and we sang that before they sent more of us on that scenic tour in southeast asia. Expect nothing. Create your own.
The Barr-initiated “preliminary inquiry” into the nursing home deaths in New York State is still active.
They now have the records that were requested under AG Barr, that Barr allowed Andrew Cuomo to continue to withhold.
Those records were only made available due to a lawsuit having nothing to do with the FBI, one can only assume they’d still be waiting for Andrew to decide whether or not to hand them over.
Everything the FBI now has points to a crime and a coverup.
Do you see any action taking place?
I’ve seen this blamed on the women who reported sexual harassment, but they aren’t stopping the FBI from doing a thing.
If they don’t want to, they won’t; it’s as simple as that.
Just like with Hunter’s laptop. There they had enough evidence of criminality to move against Hunter, but they didn’t want to, so they didn’t.
Jen Psaki has said that the DOJ under Biden was going to “return” to being “independent”.
It never stopped being independent, it’s free o any oversight or any authority over them or anything.
I suppose there is something to be said for having knowledge of our government’s rank criminality. That said, mere knowledge is not enough. Without forces that can bring swift and proportional justice to the legions of criminals in DC, all the knowledge in the world is not worth a cup of coffee.
Speaking of which, guess I’ll have another cup now….
This is the truth, the truth that must be acted if we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in a healthy, wholesome America – but how. I keep hoping that the citizens of North Dakota or Oklahoma would petition for multiple Citizen Grand Juries, and task them to investigate our Federal Government.
I guess most people think that Citizen Grand Juries are just symbolic, but Justice Antonin Scalia didn’t think so and at least we will be doing something.
Bold and underline added by me
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ruled in the landmark case of United States v. Williams, 112 S. Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L. Ed. 2d 352 (1992), https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/504/36
Before the election Joe Biden said:
Does anyone doubt that they did just that ?
Yesterday, Biden was asked if he thought he would be running against President Trump in 2024 he said:
That says to me that they are planning an even more blatant power grab in 2022.
“I have no idea if there will be a Republican Party. That says to me that they are planning an even more blatant power grab in 2022.”
Correct.
I believe the RINOS willingly allowed -and in some cases assisted- the RATS stealing President Trump’s landslide re-election … they now realize they have guaranteed their own elimination.
Willard, Ben, Susan, et. al, will just be assimilated as they have demonstrated their usefulness.
And once the Citizen Grand Jury find criminal activity or wrongdoing? Discovery without a means to prosecute or enforce.
I agree that there needs to be more sunlight shed on the Swamp, but will this begin draining it? If I’ve missed it, please let me know.
I would say the Grand Jury serves as a buffer between the people and corrupt or incompetent prosectors. It has no power I’m aware of to do anything other vote yes or no on something the prosecutor presents.
Betty, Thank You for your excellent contribution. With a corrupt Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary we are up the creek without a paddle. We have been conditioned to look at our history and founding documents with a very peculiar perspective that emphasizes some things and diminish others. What you point out by drawing attention to Chief Justice Scalia’s comments may be a piece of the puzzle to resolve the crisis of interlocking corruption. That reference is a keeper.
I would like to add something about the National Judiciary. Look at Article III, Section I:
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office
There is nothing here that says the Judiciary is a separate branch of government. There is nothing about how the members will be chosen, there are no terms of office, there are no powers delegated, such as arrest and prosecution. We have just been indoctrinated to assume things and allow government officials to do things the way they prefer by characterizing the Judiciary as a “branch of government” even though created by Congress by the Judiciary Act and serves at its pleasure.
On the other hand, Grand Jury is prominently mentioned in the Fifth Amendment, among the first eight that the key States of New York and Virginia insisted on to give their conditional approval to the ratification of the New Constitution of 1787.
It’s short:
Amendment VNo person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
I consider the theft of our Nation’s highest office, by the biggest fraud in human history, to be such an infamous crime envisioned by the States that ratified the Fifth Amendment. Regardless of other lesser court decisions, it should be tried by a Grand Jury . It in the Constitution.
When O’Bozo asked Mueller to stay on as Director after his 10 year stint, is all you need to know…
A question that the Deep State will never answer. Without forceful interrogation.

Pancakes are exceptionally delicious on a Saturday!

Everyone involved in the illegal surveillance of President Trump and subsequent coverup including the Ohr’s walk except for one – “Kevin Clinesmith (probation only)”! Sundance once again reveals the massive corruption in DC and connects all the dots! “The system of DC is based on a series of unwritten rules… “You don’t out me, and I will not out you… and that will protect us both.” These rules cross over both parties to the extent they usually have a common enemy, us. ” We The People, us here at CTH, are the “common enemy” yet it’s our very own hard earned tax dollars that pay the salaries, benefits and pensions of everyone of these mendacious politicians and Federal bureaucrats! Every time I read this massive collusion against President Trump and WTP it burns my a$$! Will there ever be Justice? Will we ever get a “representative govt” in DC? I need to go sit on some ice to return to a manageable “cold anger”! God help us! Hosanna!
We will only get a just Government if God decides to step in, otherwise we are slipping down the slope fast.
I suppose we could all stop playing along with these creeps and see what happens ,
Exactly we are no longer “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” we have arrived there!
Does anyone think the Republican establishment is not aware that all this research has been posted on the internet on a major conservative website and that millions of readers are fully informed?
Given the nature of this information, given the magnitude of the crimes, what is your conclusion when you see zero response or acknowledgement of these FACTS?
It is almost guaranteed they have staff that peruse comments sections on major conservative websites to see what the peons are thinking. They know the information being discussed is backed by massive documentation from the government itself and is not hearsay.
Every single Republican that will not address these concerns has made a statement that they accept what the government did and will not do anything about it. This means the left is free to do it again. This means all the rogue government bureaucracies all staffed with 99+% leftists have no reason to ever expect punishment for treason against a duly elected president they don’t like.
These “concerned Republican” shows you are now seeing at the border and elsewhere are the what the establishment Republicans offer you in exchange for your money and votes and continued party loyalty. They are all you will ever get. Those Republicans at the border voted against building the wall and to this second, continue to act as if HAVING A COMPLETED WALL doesn’t make the ongoing invasion impossible in the first place.
Those trillions of dollars the government spends each year buys a whole lot of people. Never forget that!
Phantom!
“The system of DC is based on a series of unwritten rules… “You don’t out me, and I will not out you… and that will protect us both.” These rules cross over both parties to the extent they usually have a common enemy, us. The staff of Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, Homeland Security Chair Ron Johnson and even the staff of House Oversight Ranking Member Jim Jordan are purposefully and willfully blind.”
We have 1 woman in the house, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green who has made more noise, on behalf of us voters, than any Congressman in the last 5 years. She is recruiting fellow reps. to her cause.
The new Ga, election reform law, is a landmark law which every state, who wants fair elections in the future, can use this law’s example to change, the hear no evil, speak no evil Congress, into a representative Congress. We have the voters already.
President Trump set the foundation, lets build the the wall to stop Communism from engulfing our great nation.
It’s smoke and mirrors..
If existing law was not prosecuted why should any voter fraud law be prosecuted..
See it won’t make any difference once they grab the guns..
I remember my HS history teacher tell the class..
Russia has a wonderful constitution. In fact better than ours.. the problem is it’s not followed or obeyed..

“The staff of the legislative bodies have/had no intent to actually facilitate any sunlight upon the FISA, DOJ-FBI corruption that took place over three years.”
All bureaucracies work the same; governmental, private, or corporate.
But it’s a lot worse than that. A bureaucrat only gets ahead by betraying people at his level to those above him. No one at the higher levels trusts anyone who is not as thouroughly corrupt as they are.
And don’t blame government employees; they are pikers compared to some of those legal and banking houses. Many of these corrupt government people are hoping to qualify to move into those businesses and make some real money.
I don’t know why anyone is surprise by any of this; it has been known for centuries. The founders tried to prevent it as best they could.
“Indeed, none can love freedom heartily but good men: the rest love not Freedom, but Licence: which never hath more scope or indulgence than under tyrants. Hence is it that tyrants are not oft offended, nor stand much in doubt of bad men, as being all naturally servile; but in whom virtue and true worth most is eminent, them they fear in earnest, as by right their masters; against them lies all their hatred and suspicion. Consequently, neither do bad men hate tyrants, but have been always readiest, with the falsified names of Loyalty and Obedience, to colour over their base compliances.–John Milton.”
I see in re-reading this, I left out the religious organizations. Roman Catholics may be the worst example, but Screwtape works with them all–denominational, non-denominational, and non-religious alike. Bureaucracies give him his very existence–his Lord Below wouldn’t need him without them.
Edited for spelling
If Joe was not so demented, we would label him willfully evil. While those around him are
little better they at least admit to supporting the reign of dictates and socialism. Perhaps
eviller are the rhinos with their double speak for profit. However, at the top of the heap are
the state agencies whose unelected appointees use their license for corruption, who frame
the innocent without remorse, who run roughshod over the bill of rights, the constitution.
The DOJ has been accused of participating in a coup against a sitting president, ignoring and
possibly participating in the election fraud, conspiring with enemy states, false imprisonment,
intimidating witnesses, lying to the courts, blackmailing politicians, and applying undue
influence on judges in an effort to promote political outcomes.
They like all power structures throughout history are primarily concerned
with holding their power and extending their influence. Getting rid of the apparatchiks
should be a campaign issue. Like the election fraud, their abuses should not be swept
under the rug.
Along with Sundance, Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch has exposed this corruption, I would
those that can to support him.
he IS willfully evil, has been his whole career, his dementia has nothing to do with it at this point
Mueller / Weissmann would have killed to get a single piece of real evidence pointing to “Russian collusion” half as solid as the altered email used to get the Cater Page FISA warrant prepared by FBI attorney Clinesmith.
The fact that they let that punk slide and actually allowed him to enter a plea wherein he claimed what he did was unintentional told me right there none of this was going anywhere. The entire fiasco revolves around corrupt 0bama holdovers using the full force of government to deprive American citizens of their 4th Amendment and other rights.
Clinesmith should have arrested and jailed the day the Horowitz report was released and remain there until he provided complete and truthful testimony regarding his co-conspirators. That’s exactly what Weissmann did with Trump associated using unrelated or manufactured evidence, but there was a smoking gun with Clinesmith and they let the little limp-wristed lefty walk.
AG Barr violated his oath, refused to do what he was hired to do, engaged in a whitewash, became part of the conspiracy himself and is a criminal.
Now, you know damn well the Biden regime is engaging in falsely predicated surveillance of their perceived enemies with impunity and who knows what the hell else.
Disgraceful.
“If the DOJ had been honest with the court, there’s a strong possibility some, perhaps much, of Mueller evidence gathering would have been invalidated… and cases were pending. The solution: mislead the court and claim the predication was still valid.”
I take a somewhat more cynical view than Sundance on this point. My theory is that the courts were in on it from the beginning and were just going through CYA motions. I think the judges were handpicked from the start.
Given the higher level of accountability that comes with the secret court, any non corrupt judge would have rained lightning, fire, and damnation down upon those who so badly violated the supposed sanctity of the secret court.
What fire was brought down on the corrupt ones from the DOJ?
There is still far too much we are not being told, obvious questions not being asked, crucial intel being withheld on all sides, key players suspiciously silent, not to mention the gobsmackingly brazen lack of any legal accountability whatsoever for the highest (= lowest) crimes ever committed in American history. And while we are expected to quietly endure this Dark Limbo, the gestapo are hard at work making sure we stay silent forever…
Does it not strike you as unnervingly odd, that not a single whistleblower has dared come forth to help expose The Coup and the mechanisms behind The Big Steal? To successfully pull off fraud on such a supermassive scale surely involved hundreds, at least, of busy elves and at least a handful of ringleaders. No one asking who? No one asking where the plans were drawn up? Not a single operative with a shred of conscience? I can’t see Pelosi having the brain capacity to comprehend the logistics of such a monumental heist… So who did it? And more importantly, why is no one asking?
Yes, Halley, we need a list of deep state ringleaders and their lieutenants, to have handy if/when civil war 2 starts. The ballot box clearly no longer works. The list should be in the thousands, the most powerful at the top. The other side already has their list, it started with Michael Flynn and Donald John Trump.
Please join your local sporting club, train up yourself and others you trust, and carry concealed for your own safety. Fill now your ammo locker, it will be impossible to do when needed. Be sure to keep off site stashes of second amendment stuff to mitigate the effectiveness of a government gun grab.
Good luck to us all, and may God bless you Sundance and crew, and all treepers.
Sundance:
The government works because we all agree to it. We stop for red lights, we pay taxes, we go to work. The government figured out that no one was watching them and now look what they have created for themselves. A crime syndicate and somehow, everyone who goes to Washington (almost) agrees to play the game.
President Trump did not play their game and he was the best President we ever had.Those corrupt jerks in Washington have rushed to put their syndicate back in play now he is gone, but we all can see the difference. Biden is a fool and Pelosi is doddering., trying to steal ahouse seat now that her dem lost by six votes. Pushing, pushing for what?
The Obama influence is evident becaise the same ugly world his policies brought forth when he was in power is back . Racism everywhere, transgender normal being pushed on our children, illegal immigration invasion….no order or rule of law that means anything.
It is all abour power for them.
I see only one branch of road to follow and that’s term limits of which will never be voted into law. However, can we not term limit on a state level perhaps? States pass a law that no one can run for re election for any seat after so many years? States have power. Can they do this instead of congress? Term limited mean new people who might be less likely to become crooks before having to leave office. Not a perfect solution but a thoughtful one perhaps?
I remember back in 2017 when President Trump mentioned term limits..
Mich McConnel in the background chuckled..
Now we know how the system works for them and not for us..

Just to be sure all viewers realize this, this is a parody. Entertainment, but fake.

As Mister Zimmerman wrote and sang many years ago, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”
The institutionally protected jerks in WashingtonDeeCee are supposed to be upholding Constitutional Law. Instead, they work with furious diligence to destroy the very thing they’ve sworn to uphold. These lying jerks are the tippy-top of all law enforcement and they’ve made damn-sure those under them will do nothing, nothing at all, to disturb their destruction of the United States of America. Unless We The People stop them, they will not stop. They don’t care about law & order, they don’t care about free and fair elections. They don’t care about anything except preserving the wealth and privilege of their crooked-ass sinecures. They all need to go, all at once, and everybody on this board knows it, too. We The People should quit pretending there will be some sort of peaceful & equitable end to the deeply evil culture of corruption in WashingtonDeeCee. The psychopathic evil ones of DeeCee have no shame & no conscience. The murder of Seth Rich is proof enough of their psychopathic character. And, by the way, one of their leering snoops is taking careful and copious note of this comment. It will not be an “institutional process of nothingness” when a ravenous brace of DeeCee’s armed and armored thug-jerks come crashing thru my front door with vicious dogs, flash-bangs, and shouts.
Reading all of these comments has been enlightening! Some very smart people here! One observation, Not one of you actually know what was going on.
Enlighten us then Leenie.
With respect, Lindak, Who knows what DJT was told? Who knows what advise he took? Who knows who he really trusted? Who knows who was whispering in his ear? Who knows why he made the decisions he made? Who knows what relationships he had with people in the Senate, in Congress, Who knows what was behind the curtain?
All we can do is make observations and make conjectures. The conjectures, based on those observations may be off base…that was all that I was commenting on…
what lindak said
Hey Leenie… sounds like you got a secret.
LOL! ?. I’m not good with secrets!!!!!
Who is that guy?
Secrets are poison…?
I think the point is that we all should know what WASN’T going on.
Point well taken…What was happening…what Wasn’t happening…Feel like a lemming?
Just a quick question..
Been following “Q’… nothing but riddles and no real facts..
I’m sure that there will be an attemp to felonize all of us.. in the near future with unconstitutional EO. An EO because congress does not want to PUBLICLY OUT THEMSELVES. As not supporting the Bill of Rights or Constitution.
the new communist regime in DC will inact illegal new rules for me and not for them..only they are allowed to protect themselves with guns..
Only government officials will be allowed body armor.. after all why would a honest citizen need body armor.. when there is NO Crimes and no riots
Since BLM/AntiFa are peaceful protest the damage done in down town Portland are an illusion..
The FIB can round up the people who attended the Jan 6th Rally.. in two weeks
But can’t find and prosecute one violent protestor.. who has been setting fires to a federal building in Portland for over a year.
Only in these United States can you be arrested for going to a political rally.. but not be arrested for blocking a Federal Highway I5.. repeatedly..
People can put up barricades in Seattle Washington.. hold inhabitens hostage..make them pay tribute.. and the Federal Government does nothing..
What part am I getting wrong ….
I can hypothetically say.. that there are many people on this site who are not what they claim to be..
So the statement.. “not one of you actually know what was going on”….
So you mentioned ‘was’ past tense why not tell us all what ‘was’ actually going on..
And Since you claim to have some special inside information.. please tell us exactly what is going on now and let us plan for the future and tell us what is going to happen tomorrow..
MAGA
Yikes,Hans, You are missing my point…I don’t claim to “know” what was or what is “actually” going on…my point is that there is so much we don’t know. Nothing more, nothing less. And as I said there are a lot of really smart people here on CHT making observations, trying to connect dots, thinking about what they are observing. That’s what makes this site interesting. But, we don’t know what we don’t know.
For anyone who has been a follower of CTH, the information in this article is definitely not some new revelation. It was appalling and highly disturbing when SD presented the facts back then … and it still hasn’t lost any of its gut-wrenching power to shock and depress. And it never will!
Preach it, Sam. Great avatar, btw.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT MAY BE MORE OMINOUS THAN THAT:
THE QUESTION: For my entire adult life, I have always been puzzled why so many Germans, after the Second World War claimed that they “did not know what the Nazi regime was doing or about the Holocaust.”
On the face of it, that answer seemed absurd, yet millions stuck with and recited that answer. In fact, the refrain was so well known it became the butt of jokes, most notably in the Hogan’s Heroes series, where Sargent Schultz famously exclaims: “I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing.”
THE ANSWER: The answer to the question hit me after the Nov 3rd election, when I started deleting all of my Social Media Accounts and stopped watching Fox News and many others. I did this for two reasons.
1] To protect myself:
From the point of view of living in a totalitarian society (one which we are just starting to experience) “knowing” is huge problem. You are in danger even if officials think you know something. Look at the fate of today’s whistle blowers (eg S. Rich). And even reporters like Sheryl Atkinson, who get too close to the truth, put themselves in danger. Look at the family members who turned in relatives to the FBI because they attended the Jan 6th protest in DC. Or employees terminated because an employer found out they attended a MAGA rally. The Democrats are now actively looking to out Trump supporters and the DNI has a database to aid that. Look at the students who turned in the NYT reporter for using the “n” word. What will be your fate at work if you stand up against mandatory CRT training? Or if you are a scientist that has reservations about Climate Change:
And it is the same for our government officials. Here are Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes discussing Russia Gate:
Devin Nunes: The Origins of The Russia Probe (go to: 37:20 & 1:02:28)
Both Gowdy & Nunes refused to read classified information, because they were afraid of being set-up on a leaking charge, and end up like General Flynn. And Nunes ( a HPSCI member, entitled to read classified documents as a part of his job) was practically tricking Trey Gowdy into going to the SCIF to read intelligence documents, so he would not be pinned with “knowing”.
https://radio.foxnews.com/2020/05/19/devin-nunes-the-origins-of-the-russia-probe/
#2 Because (not having the vote) there is nothing I can do about what the Biden Regime is doing.
The only thing that “knowing something” will do in a totalitarian society is make you stressed and depressed. I have seen many comments here at CTH that what Sundance is investigating is “interesting”, but ultimately useless because the DOJ is so corrupt. So how long can that be sustained (draw reader interest) as there is no point in knowing what Rod Rosenstein is doing. Why do I want to know what is happening at the Mexican border? I feel so much better when I turn it all off.
SUMMARY: So, in summary, in a totalitarian society, “knowing” something is superfluous and ultimately downright dangerous. And given that fact, people will make “not knowing” an art through compartmentalization. You avoid talking to anyone about anything controversial, you avoid controversial associations (leave the room when they start to come up) and become very skilled at being uniformed… because your survival depends on it. Personally, I am very careful about what I talk about and with whom (as I think we all are). Now multiply that tenfold if you were living in Nazi Germany. An ignorant fool is no threat to anybody, so BE the fool.
And we saw the “compartmentalization” in the Nuremberg Trials as well. Where officials said: “I only made the lists” or “I only arranged the transport”. And said, “what happened after that was not my concern”. Of course!!! Who would be stupid enough to look beyond their own desk!!! ???
So, when ordinary people were confronted with the stuff coming out of the Nuremburg Trials, it very likely was a surprise. “Not knowing” ensures your survival in a totalitarian society, but in a free Democratic society, “not knowing” can be construed as a crime. Ironically, the very thing that keeps you alive in a totalitarian society, condemns you in a democratic society. So, in the IC world he inhabits, Peter Strzok is a hero, but to the rest of us he is a crook. Many Germans complained that the Nuremberg Trials were judging them under a “different set of rules” and it was not fair. Under what set of rules will Peter Strzok eventually be judged under?
So, when Hitler came to power in 1932, it is likely that many ordinary Germans did the same thing I did on November 4th, 2020, (drifted into “not knowing”) but on a much more extreme scale (by not tuning into the BBC or better yet, getting rid of the radio entirely).
So, what Sundance attributes to being able to preserve “plausible deniability” could also be seen as a symptom of a “shift to a totalitarian society”?
Just a thought….
Self preservation. Pretty basic component of human nature.
In a crowd watching a building go up in flames, how many will rush towards the building to try to save the screaming person at the window?
Most of us just want to live out our lives in peace, and hope we depart this world before the clock runs out on us. A natural instinct, but at this moment in history the clock WILL run out for most of us, and we will have to decide if we should just close our eyes tighter or begin to confront the devil to preserve a livable future for those that follow us.
If you’re a regular visitor the The Treehouse, closing your eyes is probably not an option.
I totally agree with you, as we still have the “option”. I was only pointing out the natural “drift” toward the totalitarian mindset / State…. and was shocked when my actions on November 4th, collided with one of my lifelong questions. It was one of those moments where I felt that I finally understood something: myself, the Nuremberg declarations and even Sargent Schultz.
But eventually, if things proceed down a path like this, the “option” eventually disappears, unless you can summon the courage of Oskar Schindler. And that reminds me of my visit to the Yad Vashem, in Israel and a memorial there to all of those (gentiles) that opposed the Holocaust. There, on the “Avenue of the Righteous”, Oskar Schindler was invited to plant a tree. The biggest emotional experience (chilling as I recall) for me back then was realizing how few trees were actually there. And on another more mundane trip, about 10 years ago, to Tibet, I was travelling with a companion who had made a few pro Dalai Lama posts on Social Media and was barred from entering by the CCP. I can clearly see something like that happening to “ordinary” folks in the United States now, but less overtly, where jobs, promotions, employment opportunities and university acceptances just don’t come. But I think the people working in our government are almost past the point of no return. IMHO
Durham is now a good joke punchline
he reminds me of where is Waldo??
have you seen video above…oldjunkie…..
Hey Sundance, when are you going to tell us what happened last year when you went to DC? It seems you, like everyone else with good intentions, hit a brick wall. I would love to hear that story. You’ve never even mentioned it again and I was just curious and have been since all that went down. I would love to hear about it all
Yes he dd…. It was all spelled out and described in detail….
He even named the investigator who was running the work unde Durham.
I am 100% on board with fighting for our country, whatever it takes, with that said, I, & so should you all realize that what we face is a GLOBAL COMMUNIST takeover that cannot be achieved without the fall of the USA. That IS what we are facing & it’s gonna get VERY ugly in the not to distant future. I’m worried.
Why not ask where John Huber is while we’re at it – quiet as a church mouse as his sham little investigation (remember the much-touted by patriot wishful thinkers ‘thousands of sealed indictments’?) has dutifully folded, with him dutifully off-stage until the Kabuki Theater Playhouse tees up another bit conservative part.
This is not our government anymore and hasn’t been for some time. The right vs. left orchestrations are simply to keep the populace diverted (“Squirrel!”) until mass gun confiscation can be pushed through. Then the Theater will close and the real drama will begin, God help us all (and he always does – it’s a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God).
Waldo is a lot easier to find at this point.
“ By July 2018 the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?
It doesn’t take a deep-weeds-walker to identify the DOJ motive. “
Another motive is the election coming up in November 2018 where they were able to retake the house. With this released the Democrats would’ve probably lost the house. Add another charge of trying to influence the election.
Seditious conspiracy
The only word that is applicable here is “CRIMINAL”. Our government is lost and justice will never be served. This bright neon light is now shining out to every American that our government is now a criminal enterprise for the politicians and bureaucrats to abuse, twist and ignore the rule of law for their own power and control. Hard to believe the lack of COURAGE, morality and virtue in our federal Washington District of CORRUPTION.
I imagine a few made a valiant effort in the beginning, but they would have been taken out long before they could gain traction.
There will be a Durham report it will say “we found no wrong doing”. Our entire government is corrupted beyond repair. I don’t see any options to correct it short of a total revolution and cleaning out of all the trash.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” ~ preamble to the Declaration of Independence.
There never will be and never was going to be a ‘Durham Report’. This was made obvious when Bill Barr first lied about the delays and their cause.
You mean. It will be in the early part of the summer because we don’t want the report to influence the election..
Unless there’s a change of venue, Durham will never get a conviction in D.C. that’s favorable to the Trump Administration, especially now that President Trump is out of office. Remember, 95% of voters in D.C. voted for Hillary and Biden. Case closed.
The Scowling Head of John Durham was the invention of Bill Barr…a frowning ‘OZ’ image to placate us angry justice-seeking ‘deplorables.’ So it is absolute genius of President Donald J Trump to question the living breathing human existence of the man.
The Head of the All Powerful OZ has not spoken. However, that “institutional preservation process” behind the curtain, instead, has quartered itself behind barbed wire fence with troops wringing the Capitol. It’s calling card is fear. Censorship, unlawful surveillance, the end of free and fair elections, the loss of freedom of speech and assembly are it’s domain.
Since the impostor in the White House is incapable of acting the part of electorally legitimate executive, it is right for the Very Stable Genius to show up in the moment, announce and overshadow every illegitimate reversal of his presidential accomplishments.
I forget exactly when it was but I remember seeing Lindsey on Fox and when pressed about FISA abuse, he dropped the “ongoing investigation” as the reason he wasn’t calling witnesses. That’s when it sank in for me… Durham was just a smokescreen.
After reading Sundance’s original post about going to DC, I buried any glimmer of hope for justice in an unmarked grave and moved on. I can’t imagine how disappointing it must have been for him to go all that way to discover what he’s recently re-summarized for us.
Navarro recently said something was going to come from it and I’ll be the first to happily wolf down some crow should that day ever come…
But I’m not stocking up on crow.
At this point I’d settle for an indictment and MSM having to report on.. damm the outcome..
