The content of the story is less important than the network within it.
The New York Times writes a story about John Durham issuing subpoenas to the Brookings Institute for records of Igor Danchenko’s work there. Danchenko was Chris Steele’s primary sub-source for the infamous Steele Dossier.
The material provided by Danchenko to Steele was described as unsubstantiated “gossip”, “rumor”, “hearsay” and innuendo by Danchenko himself after he was questioned by the FBI.
New York Times – […] Mr. Durham has keyed in on the F.B.I.’s handling of a notorious dossier of political opposition research both before and after the bureau started using it to obtain court permission to wiretap a former Trump campaign adviser in 2016 and 2017 and questioned witnesses who may have insight into the matter.
In particular, Mr. Durham has obtained documents from the Brookings Institution related to Igor Danchenko, a Russia researcher who worked there a decade ago and later helped gather rumors about Mr. Trump and Russia for that research, known as the Steele dossier, according to people familiar with the request.
By asking about the dossier, Mr. Durham has come to focus at least in part on re-scrutinizing an aspect of the investigation that was already exposed as problematic by a 2019 Justice Department inspector general report…. (read more)
The Backstory is…. In essence Chris Steele put a bunch of garbage inside his dossier, and his dossier was used to get the Carter Page FISA warrant to conduct surveillance against the Trump campaign (October 21, 2016). Danchenko then disavowed the veracity of all the information he provided during FBI interviews in January, February and March 2017; but the FBI ignored the Danchenko discussion and used the dossier for two more FISA renewals in April and June 2017.
.
The issue of import with the story today is not about the content of the Danchenko work while inside the Brookings group, but rather how the leak from Brookings to the New York Times about the subpoena begins to unravel the Lawfare network.
The Lawfare group are largely funded by The Brookings Institute. Brookings is largely funded by the Chinese. As we pointed out during our research, essentially when you follow the trail you realize the Chinese Communist Government were financing the information that went into the Steele Dossier. But wait, it gets better….
The Lawfare group are also the “beach friends” group. The Lawfare group includes James Baker, Lisa Page, Benjamin Wittes and Daniel Richman. Once you realize who Lawfare consists of; and then you realize The Brookings Institute is behind Lawfare; you then realize the Lawfare group was likely feeding the opposition research into Danchenko while he worked for Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson who actually contracted Chris Steele for his dossier.
The FBI and DOJ officials working with Lawfare essentially provided raw information to Danchenko, who then packaged it and sent it to Chris Steele. Steele then puts the Danchenko package in his dossier and that is sent back to the FBI and DOJ for use in their FISA application. It is a laundry of weaponized political opposition research.
- FBI/DOJ extracted intelligence to Lawfare.
- Lawfare sends to Brookings (Danchenko)
- Danchenko sends to Chris Steele (dossier).
- Chris Steele sends Dossier back to FBI/DOJ.
- FBI/DOJ use dossier in FISA application.
See the laundry?
The Brookings institute tipping-off the New York Times about the Durham subpoena is actually more telling than the content of the subpoena itself.
Brookings is Lawfare. Benjamin Wittes runs Lawfare. He is personal friends with James Comey.
Benjamin Wittes is also personal friends with another Lawfare colleague Daniel Richman:
Daniel Richman is also personal friends with James Comey.
James Comey used Richman to leak his memo content to the New York Times:
China is Funding the Brookings Institute.
The Brookings Institute is funding Lawfare.
Lawfare is a group of current and former DOJ and FBI officials.
As a consequence, China funded the attack position of Lawfare and the DOJ/FBI against the Trump administration.
…. And no, I do not expect John Durham to expose any of this.
Yep, there will be some stern memos come out of this.
” ..But …… when a long train of abuses and usurpations …………. evinces a design to reduce them under ABSOLUTE despotism , it is their RIGHT , it is their DUTY , to THROW OFF such government and to provide NEW GUARDS for their future security ”

And you can certainly count on Jim Jordan tweeting something
And Ratcliff putting out the latest outrage perpetrated on the American people so we can become even more outraged.
I have it on good authority that the FBI seventh floor janitor was disciplined for this and received one week unpaid administrative leave but that was suspended.

Who?
We the People–as usual.
thats a tank
… because it was from the start nothing more than a diversion to keep everyone looking toward Russia so China could quietly slip through the TPP back door and take over America.
I think another reason they went after Russia is to get Putin in line. Like Trump, but for different reasons, Putin is a nationalist. No, they weren’t collaborating. Putin wants to restore Russia to its past glory and perhaps poke the U.S. in the eye at the same time. Russia becomes a small time player if a Globalist order is created.
“Russian support for communism today is more than mere lip service. The Russian government supports communist regimes around the world. Moscow is assisting the Marxist-Leninist regime in Nicaragua. Moscow has sent troops to defend communist Venezuela. Moscow has assisted North Korea with military technology, and they have also facilitated China’s military buildup.
“In what sense are these actions nationalist? Real nationalists do not support global communism. If we break this down carefully, going case by case, we will find that Russia is still part of the Communist Bloc and the Bloc is preparing for war.“

The biggest existential issue facing the US, is China.
Sundance underscores that by connecting the dots from Lawfare to Brookings to China. The Russian bear is a sideshow, and Nyquist is obsessed with muh Russia.
China is the one who has infiltrated the US:
MSM, Govt, Big Tech. Media, Corp. Hollywood, Sports. And now purchasing large areas of land. That’s some initiative.
Now Biden has discussed starting an Initiative with Boris Johnson, as a counter play to China’s Belt and Road. Good luck with that Joe. Get your own crumbling house in order first.
Also, China has a far greater political and economic influence on N. Korea than Russia. And Putin is still showing a strong approval rating at 65%. He puts Russia first, too bad the US Politicos don’t do the same.
IMHO
Russia always seems to side with the bad actors. Iran, Venezuela, even China. And now encroaching on Ukraine. My brother’s widow is Ukrainian and her mother is still over there. She says Ukraine hates Putin. But she still has friends in Moscow and she says they love him.
I think the ’16 deluge of Putin being this nationalist populist against the globalist European Union was a bunch of propaganda. I don’t know how we were all so enamored of Putin. Look at Russia’s friends, Fannie is right.
Except for Syria, I think Asaad more modern like the former Shah of Iran and any replacement would be throwing Syria back into the dark ages like Iran with the Ayatollah.
Yes. They seem to. But is that mostly counterpoint; rote strategic positioning?
Our federal Muh Russia bureaucracy spanning the alphabet agencies has not abated the cold war. It’s all they know. They are too specialized for other things. Recently they seem to have broadly expanded perpetual cold war hostilities to include the American public-at-large on their enemies list; enemies of their financial and professional self-preservation. They euphemistically call it “threats to our nation.”
Remember the volcanic apoplexy, mass foaming at the mouth and great episodic gnashing of teeth when Trump had a conversation with Putin?
Oh, yes, and I think there is something more to it than just worried about a couple guys being killed. I think Putin and Russia knows all their dirty secrets, he needs to be distanced from an usurper to the Deep State.
Kace, we are all so enamored with Putin, really?
There were quite a bit of people here shilling for Putin. I didn’t know what to think, didn’t really think Russia that much of the enemy since the cold ware ended but I was also out of the loop starting more into politics in ’16. I think even Sundance kind of pushed a little of the Putin good guy, “Just one ping” post. The idea seemed to be that Putin and Trump would align to defeat the globalists.
I think the diversion was to prevent the incoming administration from getting access to any evidence of corruption involving the clintons and obummer’s many scandals.
By using the nope not allowed strategies citing ongoing investigation’s as a firewall.
Threatening obstruction of justice charges against anyone interfering with muleheads narrative.
Using the media to mold public opinion. They survived 4 yrs with just the court reporting alone.
Only so many minutes in a newscast. They overloaded the column inches, never leaving enough room to start the conversation of government corruption.
Same thing now.
Border,china virus passports, voting reform, infraudster, fort Pelosi,
The navy putting a mask on the EAGLE, the purge, the court packing,iran, race shit, etc.etc.etc…..
No space left for the
STOLEN ELECTION!
Is there?
By the time time this investigation is over, all our great-grandchildren will be working in Chinese factories.
…… in the former United States of America.
Or, a monkey wrench might be tossed into the CCP’s brilliant plan.
Darn monkey wrenches sometimes appear out of nowhere.
…and how many will be involuntary organ donors?
Americans’ religious roots alone would provide a deep candidate field.
Not to mention others.
No. It’s more likely our national populace will be decimated by force, excised and repopulated with excess populations imported by the conquerers who employed a successful “Assassin’s Mace” type strategy to erase the threat of our federal government.
It is too horrible to think that our children and grandchildren will be cleansed from the land in a great morbid act of ethnic hygiene and repopulation. But those are the stakes, I fear.
This is the price of a federal government gone rogue; of a myopic, venal and narrowly competent leadership and trustee class. These fools become more deranged by the day; more shameless; more out of control. Look at the social justice madness, the duplicity, the idiocy and promiscuous suspension of due process and equal protection under the law with apparently insatiable duplicity.
The same is true of our largest endowments, foundations and publicly traded corporations. Failed institutional leadership everywhere you look. There is little worth saving that has not already been stolen or otherwise usurped by our governmental adversaries.
The Chinese government wants our land, not the people. They already have plenty of worker bees to repopulate geography. They already have plenty of human livestock to harvest to organs and other lucrative forms of human trafficking.
Only years ago such thoughts and fears seemed beyond unlikely; impossible.
But that was then and this is now.
How I wish it was not so.
All roads lead back to China.
Partly true ……. all roads lead to the Federal Reserve and its sister ‘ world banks ‘
The federal reserve is ( Privately Owned ) it has never been ” federal ” at all , and it has NO ” reserves ”
Read — ” The Creature From Jekyll Island – a second look at the federal reserve ” by – G. Edward Griffin
Eustice Mullins book “Secret’s of the Federal Reserve “-1952 is a bombshell !
Absolutely! But if one says anything about them or Goldman Sachs, just like calling out BLM for their destruction, one is smeared with the brush of “anti-Semitism” or by some Christians(of which I am one) questioning your faith, by bringing up Israel. This approach has worked for decades. Not once have they denied the allegations because they cannot. Efforts to audit the Fed have been met with strong resistance. Ron and Rand Paul are the only two that I’m aware of, that have had the moral backbone to call out these crooks. Imo, it’s an evil cabal that has and will continue to suck the life out of our nation.
And, most of the bankers who opposed the creation of a central bank were on the Titanic.
The purpose of which is and has been the creation of fiat currency.
And where did they learn about the benefits of that? China.
We are being undermined in every aspect of society by the Red Chinese.
They only picked up where the Soviets had left off.
They are far beyond where the Soviets ever were.
Of course, they intend to finish it and will likely succeed barring any changes in trajectory.

Basically, it’s Parallel construction:
From Wiki:
Parallel construction is a law enforcement process of building a parallel, or separate, evidentiary basis for a criminal investigation in order to conceal how an investigation actually began.[1]
In the US, a particular form is evidence laundering …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction
It may also be called an echo chamber.
Then fbi leaks to media and then uses the story as proof for a fisa.
Mike , sounds like Nanci’s ole wrap up smear.
They probably have had one out on Unicorn Durham for sometime.
This theory does not compute to me.
There was nothing truthful in the dossier, so does this mean the FBI, in essence, wrote it? I thought Simpson invented the claims.
They better watch out!!! Lindsey Graham Cracker just might write a letter to somebody.
And then he’ll be interviewed by Sean Hannity telling us what he’s going to do! In the end, he’ll do nothing.
Lindsey Graham, Sean Hannity….Two dolts if there ever was two dolts.
You’re correct. Both sicken me!
Sean Hannity, Sara Carter, & John Solomon were wrong about the “avalanche” that would come.
Don’t forget about Joey and Vicki D.
Hannity’ is literally all tock.
I am sure it will be “sternly” worded also.
I was just thinking something very similar! Maybe Miss Lindsey will go on Fox News to talk about it and how “I’m angry as hell. I want to know x,y, z, blah, blah, blah, whatever. I want some answers. The American people deserve answers. We ARE going to get to the bottom of this.”
Obama and his criminal crew are running the show.
And his housemate of 12 years, Valerie Jarrett.
Who is the top Top, VJ or MO?
SD I doubt there is a person alive who knows this story better than you. This story is like your previous post tonight about the election fraud being unearthed. At this point after what we know happened is the purpose of any of it? Durham or legit election audits? I said this before the election and stand by it all the way “if I was Durham (even if white hat) I would be terrified of these people. And that seemed pretty apparent in the judicial system after Nov 3.
So my question is if NOT theater than wth is this? Could it be they just don’t care what we think? Are they trying a little bit now to heal things because they need good slaves? They need us to believe in the system so most of us obey it?
It’s the last one isn’t it? They want us Trump folk to say “see we told you it was rigged and now Biden is a complete FU.” “Ohhh look there’s Nikki Haley.”
Sorry guys just thinking out loud.
They just don’t care what we think….
Not only do they not care what we think, they rub their elitism in our faces to remind us who is in charge.
The Vindman Syndrome. Born elsewhere. Comes to rule.
With or without kneepads.
But seriously folk, we are facing a crises in a federal government institutions and dominating personnel that have essentially suffered a psychotic break. They have gone rogue. The psychopaths, sociopaths and malignant narcissists have consolidated and syndicated a preponderance of control over our federal institutions.
If We The People don’t muster effective political and institutional correction and excise the malignancy of self dealings, moral indolence and incompetent trusteeship, these idiots will ultimately select for a nuclear war on our soil.
China and Russia are what they are. Do you really think they will sit patiently by as our federal government toilets itself amidst the psychogenic mass psychosis that has gripped the leadership of our federal institutions? There is a point that insanity reaches where they will act to kill the rabid beast if we fail to heal the sick institutional animals going mad before our eyes.
This situation is much much more imminently dangerous than most of us appreciate.
unless YOU (figuratively AND literally) posses some power that is respected, no, there is no reason to care about what you think.
the entire purpose of DC politics is to provide a layer. It’s only mission is to placate. Veneer.
“they” don’t need you to do anything. The only thing they control is the message and the narrative. and the rest takes care of itself. It’s just that easy. It works because it has always worked. The entire veneer is effective because that’s an easier truth to deal with.
so when you wonder, why none of this makes sense, why your guts and intuition are screaming: this is insane, nothing lines up! Well, that is your inner intellect standing up to notice the veneer. The veneer wears thin, because even with the best of technologies and an incredible amount of resources underpinning the veneer, it is unauthentic. It breaks down because just below the veneer is a larger reality, one not shared, but that shifts and shapes the veneer.
we do have to political societies in this country. One that we have been indoctrinated to respect and to vote and to contribute and rely upon. And then the other, why is beholden to no one. Only special interest. That private society has probably existed for as long as this country has been recognized as a nation state, but surely these elite powers have always existed in a larger scale.
I am not saying give up because it’s not worth the effort. Not at all.
But we are facing a threat and an evil that is very durable and powerful.
We will ultimately either defeat this enemy by the will of God, or not.
Stage 3 advances

Again, always awaiting to read your timely nuanced posts; ability of critical thinking/reading between the lines; would love to elaborate further but its timing is of assence—mastery of “stair case” conversation is still in progress
Another option is that beyond the obvious of leaking to the NYT so they can put the players on notice, should enough sand and monkey wrenches get thrown into the machinery and all is revealed and people demand actual justice, the agencies can then proudly boast that they diligently did their work so don’t worry folks, you can trust your government again to get things right! Playing both sides of the equation.
What really gets me is how do these people not care about what kind of country they are leaving for their children, and their children’s children? Do they think their families will continue to be insulated from the bombardment of the illegal invasion, the China takeover, the utter corruption, and annihilation of the middle class? Do they think they and their descendants can remain elites presiding over a total shit show for the rest of us?
I have close family members who support all of this going on, and still I can’t give a coherent answer to your questions. For now, all i can figure is that the political Left is a totalitarian religion, and tons of people are indoctrinated into it, like Jim Jones and Applewhite followers of the past.
Kaco, yes, I believe they think they will be insulated. They have controlled and lived the the good life forever, what could possibly change for them.
They ONLY care about money and power. They are wicked and are willing to sacrifice their own children.
I think they are under some delusion that cryptocurrency will save them when they ensure that the dollar is completely worthless.
“…. And no, I do not expect John Durham to expose any of this.”
Though I wouldn’t (really) expect otherwise, after all the obvious corruption revealed prior, that final line made my heart sink… What a silly, stupid, unserious and corrupt nation we have become.
Yes. That last comment by Sundance caused my spririt to start swirling around the drain until I put the plug in on it. At the very least Durham is actually doing an investigation. More to write later. Many more comments to read.
i definitely agree with your last sentence, and the reason why seems obvious. The absurd abundance in America allows for silly unserious people and behavior with few immediate consequences. Longer term though, the U.S. is following ancient Rome’s spiral down.
If “Lawfare” is waging war by using the legal system against the U.S. Government, then by definition, “Lawfare” is treason.
It’s the U.S. Government waging war against the People.
It’s the doctrine of Li Is.
Legalism.
Criminalize everything and everyone.
Selectively enforce.
Ugh. Autocorrect hell strikes again.
“Li Si”
“Lawfare” is 5th Column.
It’s the great shame of the legal community. It’s a political euthanasia movement championed by a malignant culture of failed trustees engaged in converting institutional authority to personal use for their personal pleasure and gain.
All the lawyers see this.
And do nothing to deal with the malignancy, corruption and mental illness in their midst.
It is a great shame but Lawfare does not feel any shame as they sell out their own country. Biden is so obviously unfit, I hope that these traitors wake to see the boat they have sunk is the one they are depending on to survive.
I am sure they wish they could be as competent running the country as President Trump was, even they must see the comparison of puppet Biden’s corruption to Trump’s love of country. The election was stolen and we all know it . Their responsibility as traitors destroying this country will go down in history.
This long awaited report will be stuck into the DOJ to do list and will become a curiosity for researchers far into the future. Unless Durham can get someone to roll on the perps on the top of the FBI, DOJ or Intel agencies, there is not enough excitement to the story to make people take an interest in “old news.” Anyone with half a brain in their head knows exactly what the broad outlines of the conspiracy were. Raking over the details of minor players is not going to accomplish much after all this time. 2016 seems like a century ago.
When I saw this post my eye bugged out. Again it’s same with election fraud I suspect. “Let’s not have these conservative folk run too far off the range. We castrated them pretty good with the 1/6 fiasco….high five.” “They’re almost as bad as the dummies on the left who have the attention span of a 2 year old”
Not trying to berate anyone from left or the right, I am telling what I believe the Elites think of us as a whole. And I know my assessment is incendiary and yet I have no solution. All we can do is wait for SHTF. That will come in the form of internal economic or external military strife. It may take some time and I am glad to see we are holding our own to a degree which makes their acceleration plans more difficult. Time perhaps to think out of the box from our side. What can we do to hasten things without repercussions that will eventually lead to a chance of redemption????
Is it true that none of us knows about our military might that President Trump was so proud of expanding? He said he hoped we would never have to use it, but since we don’t seem to have alternatives, is it as big as he says and if it is, why not use it? Defense isn’t helping, so how about we do offense?
Competence Is The Enemy Of Skin Color Diversity.
Merit Is The Enemy Of Skin Color Diversity.
Talent Is The Enemy Of Skin Color Diversity.
What is the smallest, most vulnerable minority: The Individual.
Diversity Is The Enemy Of The Individual.
Attributing the value and relative merit of a human person by measure of skin color is a thought disorder.
To indoctrinate people that their value and relative worth is a product of the color of their skin is to sabotage their development and provoke obsession and mental illness by inculcating disordered thinking.
To do this to children is a most heinous form of child abuse.
Debase the sanctity of the human individual in society and what do you have?
Something that looks very much like where we seem to be going.
SD or anyone here…..can it be proven that the Chinese fund Brookings?
Seems to me thats pretty serious stuff!
Can it be proven that the Chinese Wuhan flu came from China even though they allow other people to go to every nation on the earth by traveling and stopped all people from visiting China?
Just look at what the Chinese are doing around the world their mischief undermining every country buying up land and resources. They are the greatest polluters of the world and yet are not held accountable for what they do. The lie murder harvest Oregon and do all sorts of atrocities and you now question do the Chinese fund the Brookings institute are you serious?
Here is a recent (April 8) Washington Post article where a senior Brookings official says to not call what China is doing to the Uighurs genocide:

sorry, duplicate post; deleted.
Am I overreacting, or is Durham really moving at a snail’s pace?
Apologists will cite the ‘siloed’ information and need to dot every i, and cross every t.
How many dozens of AAGs are working with him?
Anyone know the staff size of the Durham’s SCO?
I will agree durham will not expose any of this…correct.
not publicly…not in court either.
given there IS a china element, a national security threat, one requiring the attention of the DOD and five eyes counter-intel op (I am not guessing here), one would expect this to be handled with extreme care.
pretty much why publicly nothing happens to swallwell.
pretty much why publicly nothing happens to feinstein
pretty much why publicly nothing happens to joebama.
I am NOT defending a national security counter-intel interest.
I am saying there is a reality here that while unsavory, unpleasant and damning, we do not live in a truly open society.
we never really have.
There are some threats so extreme, and dire, the last thing you would want to do is expose them in a dangerous and ineffective way.
often we think of the DOJ as a corrupt powerless organ of self interest. It IS that in many ways.
but even the DOJ doesn’t call the shots on some subjects. They might stumble across them, but the brokers who decide whether someone like epstein for instance gets a free pass in florida to “protect” a larger compromise, those brokers have the power over the DOJ.
we call them
CIA
This case will go poof.
it will go poof because the issue is about Hilary Clinton and Obama. it’s high stakes ending the game when these two people and the orgs behind them are allowed to collapse.
the game must continue. It’s really the only way to posture against a threat that is active.
and yes, there are people in the US who still and do care and are motivated to protect the american interest against the china threat. But that isn’t you and me. We are just incidental.
It’s about corporate power. Always really has been.
We don’t matter, because we don’t have a position worth defending…or even informing.
the CIA makes a determination based on how to preserve power for the mainline power THEY CAN CONTROL….
and that’s the mission. that’s the game.
this durham saga will end like all the others…we flew close to the sun, but never saw beyond the horizon. We never will be allowed to fly higher.
It sucks. It’s the reality.
This is precisely why “preserving the institution” is of extreme importance to Bubba Barry et al……liken it to the same reason a drunk stays drunk…..NO HANGOVER ???
‘Spose to be Bubba Barr f ???

Knowledge of wrongdoing without the wrongdoers being brought to justice or being even remotely close to punishment is kinda like kissing your sister.
Sister might be a pretty girl, but so what, she’s still your sister.
With all the information compiled on this website, it is impossible that the culprits and the GOPe (and yes, that is almost the same thing) are not aware. For the culprits, it forces them to never allow any of this to be honestly prosecuted which means the involved institutions must be kept corrupt forever (DOJ, FBI especially).
For the GOPe, it means their voter base can’t be palmed off with the usual Kabuki and more outright duplicity and chicanery will be required to maintain RINO control.
Pity that there aren’t any journalists out there … they could have a field day with this story … all these tangled interrelated connections.
If Durham isn’t going to do anything, why doesn’t he just close up shop?
Also, Danchenko last worked for Brookings in 2010? What is Durham possibly expecting to find related to 2016 spying on Trump from stuff that far back? It’s hard for me to imagine a connection unless it is simply to document some relationship aspect with some type of Brookings connection.
If a lot of this started in 2015, then Durham only needs to drag this out one more year to let the statute of limitations run out.
Great job, no results necessary and he’s got to think about his pension.
Excellent synopsis.
sundance—-“…. And no, I do not expect John Durham to expose any of this.”
Likely true given A/G Barr’s dismal, irresponsible 2-tier record that led to a Biden steal, but why is his long ago appointee Bill Durham still “investigating?”
Most Conservatives have likely given up expecting any justice to occur on any issue involving illegal acts against P Trump during his entire Presidency and Democrats won’t likely gain any more votes if Durham releases a “nothing to see here” report of the abuses.
So which US politicians ARENT owned by the CCP?
I can safely say /President Donald J Trump – that’s it.
Who’s this John Durhum guy? And how come he’s only learning about Danchencko now?

First, I thought they are throwing this out for more laughs at us, the conspiracy nuts. Now, reading Techno Fog, they might prosecute a lower level actor, say the DOJ/FBI was “duped”, thus making the Russia, Russia “investigation” legit. For those who don’t believe they were “duped”, meaning non-lefties with a brain, they rather be seen as incompetent rather than corrupt.

@HansMahncke
Durham going after Brookings is the best news I’ve heard out of the entire Durham saga. It means Durham knows where the skeletons are buried. The powers that be will pin it all on Danchenko but real culprits are Steele for making it all up and FBI for buying Danchenko’s silence.

Agree. My point was that, by going after Brookings, Durham gets the info he needs to confront Danchenko with. If Durham plays it right, Danchenko will admit that the dossier was all made up and that Steele was the one who made it up. Will put Russiagate to rest once and for all.

@carterwpage
Troublemaker, as states are investigating the election fraud, Durham is back in the headlines. Hey look at the shiny object over here.
I could care less about Durham anymore. We pretty much knew all this and it’s too late to do any good no matter what Durham does.
And bagpipes Bill Barr knew it all and did nothing.
He did one thing. He resigned “to be with his family for Christmas” before his term was up.
Oh wait. He also stated there was no election fraud on his way out the door.
So there’s that.
SUNDANCE.
The fisa was a cover up for the original crimes of thousands of contractors using the nsa/fbi databases.
As you pointed out before,
The fisa is for permission not the ability to spy.
Durham is following the trail intended to point out some low level scape goat. giving cover for the
“rank n file” folks just following the evidence they were given. No bias here.
It is so obvious.
If i plucked my eyes out,
I would still see the strings.
STAY GOLDEN!
China is Funding the Brookings Institute.
The Brookings Institute is funding Lawfare.
Lawfare is a group of current and former DOJ and FBI officials.
?
So…
This “Group” of current and former DOJ and FBI officials are middlemen; for all intents and purposes, working for, and being paid (directly or indirectly) by… CHI-NA.
What do you call current and former U.S. government officials that accepted payment (directly or indirectly) from a foreign government in an attempt to unseat a sitting U.S. PRESIDENT?
Any President?
What do you call “other” U.S. government officials (past and present) who knew this and said NOTHING?
Traitors…all!
remember how Comey just blurted out during that hearing that he ‘leaked his notes’?…. I remember thinking at that moment
he looked like the guy trying to explain to the traffic cop it being completely normal after he finally got pulled over driving around the neighborhood bare assed.
always trust your poker instincts AND remember players play for cash.
Have been pondering on just what the ramifications of the NYT printing a story “leaked” to them re the work of the Durham Special Counsel Investigation. Durham may not to have report on it all. Because this leak just exposed all of the players. Pity if the Brookings Institution is getting funding under U.S. Government contracts, which I am pretty sure they are.
Back in the days of auditing, any agency now giving taxpayer dollars to Brookings for this or that, would be on high alert for fraud, waste, and abuse from just reading the NY Slimes story.
Hey Brookings, its the IG and its Investigators calling, and “we are here to help.” IG’s can drill on funding all the way down to the subcontractor level when it comes to US money and how its spent. It rarely was a pretty picture. People get really sloppy. And they always have to pull their pants down for all to see what’s hiding in their underwear. I can only equivocate this to finding a blooding sucking tick on the crack in/on the but.
I don’t know that the “New York/CIA Times” is protected from any lawsuits, fines or penalties re leaking this info. This “news” article is not protected under Free Speech, as they printed information protected and private under a criminal investigation. Stupid is as stupid does. I don’t think Lawyers, Guns or Money are going to get Brookings and the New York Crime syndicate out of this.
Holy Mother of God!
Their evil knows no bounds.
Swamp Friends…

Danchenko also worked at the respected liberal think tank, the Brookings Institution. At Brookings, Danchenko was reportedly close to Fiona Hill, whom he described as a mentor. Hill went on to be at an official at the White House’s National Security Council specializing in Russian and European affairs, and became a star witness against Trump last November during the impeachment proceedings.
What was traitorous Fiona Hill’s role in that whole mess? I’m sure her bony fingers were poking around somewhere in there.
That the likes of Richman, Wittes, Berke, Eisen, Page, Elias et al. appear in public, meet with fellow conspirators, walk our streets without the fear of being thrown into the back of a vehicle or being “Seth Rich-ed” tells us something. In a “just” world these creatures would be hiding in their basements afraid to step outside their door or stand in front of a window.
Sure would be a shame if “something should start happening” to these Treasonous SCUM!
Where would you start?
To kill the hydra, use the power of the hydra.
Not 1 serpent at a time.
Yeah I’d love to hear on the news “some people did something (to them)”.
Durham? Hmmm, that name sounds familiar…
After years of disinformation (from all sides, intentional or not) about Barr/Durham, the MAGA army is forced to conclude that we can believe no one.
Was kind of hopeful in reading this, until the last sentence. Dang it.
At least we won’t get distracted with false hope and if something comes of it, it will be a nice surprise.
We first started getting indications and evidence at least four years ago of efforts by the Obama administration to marshal the power and resources of the federal government to interfere in and influence the 2016 Presidential campaign and election.
The suspected activities engaged in by the Obama administration in that regard would soon become described by many as “Watergate on steroids”.
As a result of an incredible, tenacious, and heroic effort by Sundance, and others, to unravel what happened by, essentially, reverse engineering a puzzle and piecing it back together, we came to quickly realize that not only was it true, but it was turning out to be even worse than imagined.
Each new uncovered piece of the puzzle fit, giving us a better view, which made it easier to find the next piece of the puzzle. More and more pieces of the puzzle were being uncovered quicker and quicker.
ALL of the pieces found fit perfectly.
To this day, NOBODY has found ANY evidence that could be reasonably described as in any way indicating what happened may not have happened.
We have known what happened for what is now literally years.
Not only was ample evidence to prove what happened uncovered and amassed years ago, more and more pieces of the puzzle continued to be found beyond reaching the threshold for proof, continue to be found now, and will continue to be found in the future.
It continues to be referred to by many as “Watergate on steroids”.
However, we may quibble over exactly when it was we came to the realization, but we would agree that it was, again, literally years ago that we realized that “Watergate on steroids” can be fairly described as an understatement.
I do not have the words to adequately express the outrage I feel over the fact that the worst political scandal, by far, in our country’s history has yet to be addressed in the judicial system.
What is, by far, the most egregious and extensive abuse of power and authority by a Presidential administration in the history of our country began as far back as six years ago. We have known about it, and had the evidence to prove it for at least four years.
It is unfathomable to me as to why we are into the second quarter of 2021 and we have yet to see a single meaningful indictment of anyone for anything. Even worse, can anyone here say with any confidence that any indictments will come eventually? Is anyone here willing to say that it is not a very real possibility that nobody will be indicted for anything?
I had high hopes and believed in John Durham, our last hope. I desperately hope to be proven wrong, but I’ve lost just about all confidence I had in Durham.
We were told to expect possible indictments in early summer of last year. Then it was early fall. Then we were told nothing would happen before the 2020 election so as not to risk influencing the campaign. We’re approaching six months since election day and we currently have no indication of when his investigation might end.
A scandal of this magnitude, if true, must be resolved as definitively as possible, and it’s important for many reasons that it be resolved sooner rather than later
Equally so, an accusation supported with evidence of this magnitude, if not true, must be resolved in that way also sooner rather than later.
4+ years and counting is ridiculous.
This is not something you can lest fester in the hope that it might eventually go away.
Determining the truth of what did or didn’t happen, and reporting that truth to the American people, whatever that truth might be, is critically important for our country for so many reasons.
Did the Obama administration engage in activities that would be previously unimaginable that any administration would even consider, much less actually do?
The activities alleged are so far beyond the pale, determining the truth can’t be allowed to drag on for years.
One of the many ramifications of that delay is the fact that multiple people from the Obama administration who currently stand accused (with evidentiary support) of being directly involved in the worst violations have returned to government roles as part of the new Biden administration.
Those who are guilty must be held accountable.
Those who are innocent must be cleared.
JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED.
With respect,
“The activities alleged are so far beyond the pale, determining the truth can’t be allowed to drag on for years.”
Too late.
Why are we getting all worked up by an article by the New York Times? Everything they publish is a plant, lie, subterfuge. Geez people… ?♂️
This is what “fundamentally transform” looks like.
A question I have.. Where is Admiral Rogers.. If he really did tell POTUS
about the spying on the mysterious visit to Trump Tower..Why had he
never come forward with what he knows? Why would POTUS have never
mentioned Admiral Rogers and what ever he told him?
If Admiral Rogers knows things and says nothing..then really isn;t he
part of the coverup but then why go tell POTUS?
The Admiral Rogers story re warning of spying has been debunked. Rogers was at TT to interview for another intel position, not to warn president elect Trump about spying. (And the move from TT to Bedminster had already been planned.)
Link, please…
Rich HiggensDC, former NSC, tweeted about it at length. Unfortunately, he’s closed his account.
So, who pushed the first eraser? Hillary?
Good morning everyone. More important news to chew on. Thank you, Sundance for continued great research and analysis.
Brookings has some interesting, really nefarious donors. Before we knew that Qatar Royal family fully funds Brookings Institute Doha. Same family that owns Al Jazerra and is really cozy with Muslim Brotherhood.
The same bad actors keep turning up. Including US government to work hand in hand with China via Brookings HQ, the serpent in DC.
The US has a huge militsry base in Doha, many thousands of people and military equipment – air and some navy. All funded by US to ostensubly protect ME Gulf Oil multi, multi billionaires, from Iran. Some of wealthiest people in the world, the ME royal families. The mehmga rich. Their own population is completely unprepared to and unwilling to defend itself.
Meanwhile, Americans have paid for and politically supported their wars in the ME for decades. Worse yet, our young people die by the thousands upon thouands. They are maimed by the tens of thousands to support their madness and greed.
We cannot unsee the pure evil and the rot that is DC and our allies, not just our foreign adversaries.
There is no moral principle involved. It is all financial. We are the pawns.
If the Great Awakening does not cause the Great Reset now, it never can. Never.
Can we but ask one question? Does God exist or will the Devil win?
How does all of this fit into His plan?
Bunch of deep state coup’s anti America and president Trump,
Only truly evil, greedy people can conceive of this sort of deceit. The friends they keep are most telling.
The Filthy Bureau of Investigation.
Obviously, the conclusions of a racist, racist, racist racist, racist!
These crooks in the media these days don’t honestly report any more.
The liars, thieves and deceivers are busy pushing their agenda 24/7.
