There is an issue being overlooked, well, not so much ‘overlooked’ per se’, but rather intentionally being ignored by everyone in the discussion.
Maybe not an 800lb gorilla in the room, but at least to a troop of screaming spider monkeys swinging from the drapes and chandeliers.
As everyone is well aware, back in 2016 the entire U.S. media apparatus was given copies of the Clinton-funded Christoper Steele dossier, as Fusion GPS worked every source in their contact list to push the fabricated claims into the headlines. Eventually the stenographers in/around DC, led by CNN and Buzzfeed, acquiesced.
As a result of the Durham indictment, we now know a fellow named Igor Danchenko was working closely with Democrat Party public relations executive Charles Dolan to funnel the fabricated source material to Chris Steele.
Chris Steele, under contract with Fusion-GPS to assemble opposition research that would be used by allies in the media and FBI, then took the Danchenko/Dolan fabricated claims and put it into his dossier.
DOJ official Bruce Ohr, the husband of another Fusion-GPS employee Nellie Ohr, was used as the laundry conduit to put the dossier into the hands of the FBI. Simultaneously Glenn Simpson took the dossier and shopped it to his media pals. That’s how the entire story was created; and yes, we already knew most of this and Durham is simply filling in the details. However, there is something missing from all reporting.
We know the dossier was used as the resource material for the October 21, 2016, FISA application -a Title 1 search warrant- to conduct political surveillance against the Trump campaign by accusing Carter Page of being an agent of the Russian government. The Steele dossier was essentially a substitute for the ‘woods file’ that justifies an intrusive search warrant against a U.S. citizen. The dossier was the evidence used by the FBI and DOJ to justify the warrant application.
What’s missing from this context is not just the fabricated dossier in the hands of the media; but rather, in March 2017 the actual FISA application was in the hands of the media. Not only did most mainstream U.S. media like Buzzfeed, Politico, The New York Times and the Washington Post have the dossier in their hands, effective March 17, 2017, they also had the full and unredacted FISA application as it was leaked by the Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe.
James Wolfe leaked the Carter Page FISA application on March 17th to journalist Ali Watkins. The details of the process Wolfe used to leak the FISA application were outlined in Wolfe’s grand jury indictment and the subsequent filings in the DC criminal court case. {Go Deep}
Despite the fact that Wolfe entered a plea agreement with the DC U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and was never charged with leaking the FISA application – you can debate the motive of that DC coverup in a much bigger context – there is zero doubt from the sworn affidavits of the FBI investigator of the case, Brian Dugan, that Wolfe leaked the FISA to the media.
♦ Why is that important? Well, for the past five years, not only has the U.S. media had in their possession the Steele Dossier that was given to the FBI, but the U.S. media has also possessed (never admitted) the full and unredacted FISA application showing how the dossier was used in the FISA application.
The media, through journalist Ali Watkins, specifically Buzzfeed, Politico, New York Times and likely The Washington Post, have held the unredacted Carter Page FISA application and the Steele Dossier since early 2017. They have never reported on their possession of it; likely because the unredacted and highly classified FISA application was unlawfully gained.
The media have never admitted it; but those same media outlets clearly have held the ability to see exactly how the dossier was used in the FISA application, because they have both the source material (dossier) and the outcome (FISA application).
As the Wall Street Journal takes these new Durham revelations and starts looking quizzically at Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller, in the softest way possible – attempting to avoid triggering all those DC sensibilities that might turn WSJ into a target – the fact that the media held both dossier and FISA application makes the screaming spider monkeys a little more difficult to ignore. Yet ignore they must:
Wall Street Journal – … [H]is Durham indictment reads like a story with more to come, but some lessons are already clear. One question is why the country is only now learning these facts. The Durham indictments treat the FBI as the duped party, but the record shows former FBI director James Comey and his investigators knew from the summer of 2016 that Clinton campaign fingerprints were all over the dossier.
A transcript in the Danchenko indictment suggests that FBI officials knew Mr. Danchenko was lying in the 2017 interviews. But they did nothing to blow the whistle, nor to tell the public or Congress everything they had learned about the origins of the Russia collusion tale.
The Durham prosecutions also speak poorly of former special counsel Robert Mueller. Mr. Mueller’s job was to learn the facts about the collusion allegations, and he had access to everything that the FBI had learned. Yet the Mueller team, led by Democratic partisan Andrew Weissmann, never told the public the Clinton side of the story.
The media also has a lot to answer for. In its conformist disdain for Mr. Trump, the Washington press corps with rare exceptions pursued the Russia collusion story with partisan blinders. They gave each other awards for stories that in retrospect amounted to nothing or, worse, misinformation. Anyone who raised doubts about this narrative, even as the facts mounted against it, was deemed a “Trump enabler.”
The Washington Post this week offered a first sign of media self-reflection, noting the Durham indictments “cast new uncertainty on some past reporting on the dossier by news organizations,” including its own. Yes they do. (read more)
Perhaps the media will eventually arrive to a place where they admit the entire purpose of Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller was to coverup the issues that are much bigger than the digestible bites John Durham is currently serving.
Regardless, let’s be clear with our own discussion. Every single person in Washington DC, and every single person who reports on the people in Washington DC, knows that Robert Mueller’s purpose was to coverup for the corrupt activity of the FBI, DOJ, intelligence community and politicians in congress. They all know it. They all know it to a demonstrable certainty. Yet, they pretend as if it’s something just not discussed in polite company.
This might point to a sickness that permeates DC.
Construct a lie down to the brass tacks. A lie so clever and so well layered that only a rube wouldn’t believe it.
Basic working folk have built-in immunity to fast talkers. Always have from way back.
Yup. I had a fast talker at my door yesterday. Had no idea who or what he represented as he was standing too far away for me to read his uniform print (due to the deadly virus…….) so I just waited until he took a breath, and then I asked, “What are you selling?”
That always throws them off stride, screws up the sequence of all the stuff they have memorized, and shortens the conversation considerably.
Did you get a response?
You can always reply
“No se habla ingles, gracias, adios”
Smile and close the door.
Hear,hear.Basic working folk,the pleb,rube etc etc can differentiate between clay and sh.t.
Right. It’s referred to as an acute crap-o-meter.
I wouldn’t believe anything anyone from DC or the corporate media said even if they said the sun will rise from the East tomorrow morning.
They have actually reported that…. but they quote only “unnamed sources.”

Same here.
If the media did their job, there would have never been an unconstitutional impeachment trial in impeachment #2. The media would not have let them get away with it.
Look the other way and pretend you don’t see it is nothing new, it is just continued propaganda.
“Let’s Go Brandon” is just as much about fake news as it is about Biden. The media needs to be branded with Brandon at every opportunity. That is conviction in the court of public opinion. Never let them escape the excrement they created.
The media is owned by the Democrats and the Communists. Their job is to provide propaganda to support the Left.
C’mon Grumpy. You know that bert meant the “job” the press are SUPPOSED to do – honestly and objectively, such that their job was deemed important enough to deserve special mention under the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
What the press is doing today – fabricating partisan lies and false narratives that support only one ideological POV and its sponsoring political party (and ignoring that party’s treason and criminality) while always denigrating other POVs and the other political parties. The current press’ actions and behavior goes entirely AGAINST the intent of the founders. The entire U.S. corporate media knows it but doesn’t give a damn.
The media does not enjot 1st Manedment protection so that it can continualoly print misinformation and lies that today are essentially undermining and harming the United States sovereignty, stability as a nation (both economically and socially), and its reputation among the world of nations.
“Protect Mueller, because no man is above the law”. Content of a hand lettered sign(held by multiple people in different locations) on a rainy night in March of 2020, in Western Oregon. That Bob Mueller what a good registered Republican (so we were told), and it is so cozy that he and Bondo Barr go to Sunday school together. These denizens of the swamp need to be schooled….
They are good Republicans…Deep State Esrablishment Swampsters…and behaved accordingly. We have four parties right now: Socialist Marxists, Establishment Globalist Democrats, Establishment Globalist Republicans, Country Party (MAGA)
They need more than school, they need long life in prison. They framed a president. They told any lie, broke any law, to do it. These people are insurrectionists, not people people who trespassed on the grounds of the Capitol.
Firing squad
It gets closer to “watering time” every day.
It was a miracle Trump won in the first place. We had no idea how corrupt our institutions were then. We do now, only to be trapped in their lawlessness. Few hard options to correct the swamp.
He won because Billary and the Corruption Incorporated machine was soooooo dead certain it was in the bag for Billary that that the smug snobs didn’t think they needed to pull all the stops to dupe America.
That’s precisely why we saw such unprecedented fraud in 2020: they weren’t taking any chances. Every dirty trick was deployed.
And it still hasn’t been fixed, one year later. Why is that? Dominion machines are still counting the votes, what the F? It makes my blood burn.
You’re never going to see the fox fix the hole in the hen house.
I heard this week that Dominion holds “patents” since as far back as 2002, patents on method to Vote Switch, to corrupt its own machine. Yes, our bloods should boil.
There is one option and that is to fix our broken election system. Unless this is done and the fraud stopped, we all will be sucking wind. It was just pure luck that our President Trump got elected in 2016 and somehow we had some victories in Virginia, NJ and elsewhere.
Unlike the dopey Repubicans, the DemonRats never sleep, never quit. Don’t ever forget they want to see us dead.
Mollie Hemingway has laid out the situation and the remedies to perfection. Her book is a masterpiece that should be studied by all the players on the right/ conservative side. There is really no time left. The 2022 election races have already started.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/11/the_big_truth_election_2020_really_was_rigged.html
brokenviolated election systembrokenviolated immigration systemMolly Hemingway is fantastic and never afraid to push on the prescribed narrative. I saw her doing a lot of pushback, to the disdain of many a Fox news host, before I gave up on Fox.
Thanks for the book recommendation, with so many books out, I like hearing about a worthy read particularly by someone I respect.
Truth and knowledge are wonderful things.
Trump won precisely because they all thought it wasn’t possible. They weren’t prepared. They fixed that from Election Day (and earlier) until the next presidential election.
Actually,….no. The PLANNING and preparation for the “Insurance policy” occurred WELL BEFORE the 2016 election,..and those who planned it well recognised the possibility Trump could win.
I can well believe the Dems were deluded, but the Republicon leadership watched Candidate Trump demolish all 16 dwarves they put up against him.
THEY were under no such illusions, and I believe it HAS to be THEY (Mitch and Ryan) that initiated the planning for “the Insurance Policy”,..see my post above).
Trump won because before Trump it was always an election between members of the uniparty.
The same globalist powers always owned both candidates.
So, it was always a fake choice between two people who both served the globalists.
Yeah, there was fraud here and there, but it wasn’t what they are doing now.
Now they’ve set up an infrastructure for systemic fraud to ensure that only globalist candidates can be elected to the presidency.
Regardless of whether we overcome the cheating in 2024 and Trump wins, he has absolutely already exposed many corrupt (evil) institutions.
One wonders, even with all three Houses, can conservatism win? Just look at the traitor Republicans that voted for the last Bill put forth by Nancy – $1.2Trillion. Are we sure we can get them out?
The One-Party Stepford Press. They think they’re heroes but they’re more like the battered wife that makes excuses for their abuser. They like the abuse. They want the abuse. They won’t stop the abuse because the Narrative(tm) is all that matters.
And now Pelosi wants to put them all on the Federal Payroll because they weren’t quite toadyish enough.
How did the SmileyFascist Jacinda put it? “I only take questions from the ACREDITTED media.”
The Full Faith and Accredited Media.
In fairness, though, they’d lie for free.

Not so long ago, I used to listen to the Undisclosed Podcast which examined mainly wrong convictions in murder cases. The most impressive part of the threepart team was a young lawyer/sleuth/journalist Susan Simpson. Her research and investigating zeal were incredible. I was interested enough one day to go looking at her own blog which she mentioned at the beginning of every episode of Undisclosed.
I was surprised to see that her blog was focused not on criminal cases so much as the Russia case with Trump. She had developed this extraordinarily complex diagrammatic analysis which she claimed, and which her bloggers believed, like her, demonstrated conclusively that Trump was a Russian agent, or certainly compromised by Putin. The analysis at face value, linking all the various pieces together, taken in isolation, was very impressive. The trouble was – her whole analysis depended on her original source which related to documents and claims made by – wait for it – RACHEL MADDOW!!!
The moral of this long story? It is staggering, how even otherwise brilliant young people can be blind to the lies and corruption of media they desperately WANT to believe.
Too bad Sundance’s work isn’t presented to all the “low information voters” who along with the pissed off “school board moms” would vote every Democrat and complicit Rino OUT OF OFFICE.
Too bad the leeches in the republican press didn’t hire sundance back in 2014 to do political analysis. Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Fox, Breitbart, PJMedia, and on and on were 100% ignorant of modern politics. Those idiots were, and still are, stuck on stupid with the GOP good, dem bad meme.
Shame on them for eternity! e.t.e.r.n.i.t.y
Sundance is an analyst – and a damn good one at that. Most of the people/entities you refer to are or were entertainers – paid to talk.
You can only go so far. If you cross a certain line your finished. I know this first hand and of course watching others careers like Joe Sobran, Pat Buchanan, Charley Reese, David Irving etc etc
LOOK at Chris Mathews.
Natl show for 20+ years, the “go to guy” to put out the latest leftist mantra, and try his damndest to shred “conservative” guests,….
And then one show, he does two minute “editorial” on how while he supports “liberal” policies, he is totally against Conmunism; he is a JFK acolyte, after all.
Within 2 weeks, he is GONE, and you don’t hear ANYTHING from him, any more.
And, not only is HE silenced, but a clear message is sent to any others, who stray off the reservation.
I expect to see Bill Maher cancelled, at some point.
There are things on the “Do NOT tell” list, things YOU CAN NOT SAY.
Doesn’t matter WHO you are.
The media is owned by only a few global corporations.
The job of the media is to spread disinformation and omit important stories.
All to preserve and expand the power of the globalist corporations and banks.
When you watch tv news, you are ALWAYS watching an infomercial.
Throughout my life, Dutch, I’ve noticed that journalists who represent themselves as liberal or moderate are always, always more sympathetic and forgiving towards leftists than conservatives.
David Brooks is the classic example. Peter Beinart is another.
Mark Steyn, the splendid conservative journalist, appears to be disappearing from the modern media world. He is no longer published by countless newspapers and magazines. Fox rarely gives him air time. Mark now has his home page (luckily monetized), and he posts on obscure British web sites.
George Will, and a long list of never-Trumpers, are wending their way to being leftists. Canada has no more media outlets for conservatives. No problem – Canadian conservative journalists have had a remarkable widespread epiphany that they were leftists all along.
Michael Coren was a Canadian conservative Catholic. He had a newspaper column and a daily radio show. No longer. Michael is now a socialist and a protestant minister. Like changing your socks..
I would scratch Faux, Hannity, Breitbart.
“Stuck on stupid.” I like it!
I lmao everytime one of the R versus D local radio hosts has a flash of insight and presents a tiny tidbit of what Sundance was talking about several years ago.
..call it piglosi publicans please..
What is Twitter, Facebook, etc.?
If I didn’t have a conservative grandson, I would not have managed to find a branch to hang onto in TCTH……………
They contain too many words for Democrats.
I use Telegram quite a bit and often send Sundance writings to the Audit the Vote moms in Pennsylvania. Kaneoka The Great is my favorite account and I think he may send these out as well. From what I can tell from Lindell’s symposium and since, many states have grass root Audit The Vote moms’ groups? Seth Ketchel? I’m trying to send out all the pertinent info I can. Pennsylvania has Don’t Tread on PA and then off shoot county groups. Not huge but growing.
Print out copies of these articles, especially the synopses, go to the most popular breakfast cafes and coffee shops in town that have news-stand boxes outside, spend a few quarters, and insert into EVERY newspaper, the copies. Whether it is the local rural paper or the “sophisticated” NY Times or LA Times, just do it. Or under the wiper of every SUV at the local Yoga place where suburban moms and “educated” college grad girls go; they need the MOST education.
excellent idea
Would Trumpnornwven the American people have any legal recourse against all of these people?
Just wondering …
Of course the WSJ is going to soft sell this mess… Simpson and his band of media operative grifters come from the WSJ newsroom… They OWN the WSJ newsroom!!! The infighting between the newsroom and editorial staff at WSJ is a byproduct of how much control is exerted by Fusion on the newsgroup… An important question is why hasn’t Durham dragged in Simpson and Jacoby back in front of a Grand Jury to clarify all the times they took the Fifth last time they faced an inquisitive body….
Ignoring that which proves criminal activity, is what democrats do best. They are masters at creating multi level redundancies, to cover up crimes.
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD! AND…..IT’S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!
Before commenting on this article I must first thank my Lord. Lord, I’ve been waiting since the sixties to see just what it would take to get the American people to stand up and throw the incompetent/corrupt/self-serving/witless politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media folks out on the street. No matter if it’s a needle in the arm, a brain dead president, and/or any other of the so-called progressives’ activities designed to drive the American people into nothing short of pure bondage. Just let the American people know that if they will stand tall many old vets like me will come back to help (just so long as they don’t ask me tote one of those %$#@ M-60’s)!
Next, my thanks to President Trump for his role in exposing the entire military/industrial/political/deep state complex and the swamp they employ.
Last, my thanks to Godfather Joe, Crying Chuck, Loony Nancy, and so many others in the swamp. Special thanks to each of you for reinforcing my confession/lessons learned (see below) throughout your years in politics. Godfather Joe do you remember the time we listed you, Billy Clinton, and a whole gaggle of politicians as subjects in that international drug trade investigation? Hint, it was during your first term in the Senate. Why don’t you impress the folks by explaining the term, ‘Green Lining?’ Godfather Joe, you also have my congratulations in that you are one of the three subjects who have gone on to be President of the United States of America!
This article reinforces the confession/lessons learned (see below) first presented in 1989 (most presented in 1989, rest added during President Obama’s last two years in office and President Trump’s first year in office) to the citizens of this old soldier/cop/mercenary’s community while serving as their police chief.
A Soldier/Cop/Mercenary’s Confession/Lessons Learned
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a survey of 1646 Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance (according to the vets) are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else. Note: The democrats have proven they are masters of co-mission, while republicans have proven they are masters of omission!
* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and the media.
* The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
* Soldiers (ground combat soldiers, that is) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, or apple pie! Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit. Why? Because in every war/police action/whatever including WWII the strategies and tactics adopted by mostly incompetent/corrupt military and civilian managers (notice I said managers not leaders) were/are designed to maximize the profits of the military/industrial/political complex with little regard for the those personnel charged with employing the same. In short, the American soldier has been/is nothing more than a “mercenary” since 1969 with the creation of the “All Volunteer Army (VOLAR)”.
* The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in the Blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
* There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
* American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
* Far too many of the politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop/mercenary I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards. Note: I originally referred to the aforementioned folks as; “Self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants!” After retiring to the deep woods I dropped pissants once becoming acquainted with the little guys; in that I learned pissants are not self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
* After carefully watching the whole of the political class since May of 1960, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
* Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick: New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
* If the so-called Progressive movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
* The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, or capitalism. The elites of the world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, brute force, etc. to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is Feudalism!
* Arrogance plus ignorance equals stupidity (A + I = S).
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
PS All of the lessons learned above (save the three added during the Obama and Trump administration) and the four mentioned below were written for the prelude of a book titled: “Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had!” (After Obama was elected to his second term I added; “And It’s Your Own Damn Fault!”). The book has not been published in that the Department of Defense has denied four requests to publish the same due to classified information they claim is in the book. That so-called classified information primarily deals with the number of politicians and bureaucrats sitting at the federal, state, county, and city levels of government during the Carter years who made the list of subjects in an investigation of the international drug trade and money laundering. Three of those politicians went on to be President of the United States of America. Four of the original lessons learned will remain unpublished in that I do not believe most of the Americans alive today can handle the level of anxiety that might be generated from their exposure. Few Americans can imagine the lengths so many have gone to destroy this nation just since President Eisenhower’s last year in office. I say that because that was the year I joined the army and have stood witness to the destructive policies first initiated by the Kennedy administration with folks like his brother Robert, L.B. Johnson, and Robert McNamara (Mac the Knife- soldier’s nickname for the #$%) laying the ground work for administrations that followed! Thus the reason for the two part prayer I said immediately upon learning that President Kennedy had been shot. First I prayed that God would spare him and second that the shooter was not a soldier from my unit, or any other military unit!
they looted SA and than left its destroyed corpse to be plundered by lower level grifters like the Gupta crime cartel
Thanks Soldier/Cop. I think we need to hear the other four lessons. I really do. We are well past the stage where we can care about frail sensitivities! Also, can I recommend, if you haven’t read it already the book by Diana West, ‘American Betrayal’, which persuasively documents the communist/Deep State infiltration of the US government as starting in earnest in 1934.
It is amazing how much President Trump got done despite the overwhelming opposition from his own staff members, political party, the opposition party, every corrupt department of the government, the vast number of intelligence agencies, the Media and Big Tech, and the World all working against him. Did I leave anyone out?
He is an absolutely tireless, amazing leader.
Durham = Barr
just like
Graham = McConnell
The real shame is Sundance has already spoken directly with Durham’s lead guy on this SSCI leak over a year ago and ZERO has come from it so why would Durham now look for any monkeys?
No one from within DC is EVER going to go another anyone within the DC Government Circle. Period!
Thus Durham = Barr = Graham = McConnell
Wrong…Durham is not …barr
Barr hired Durham. That tells you a lot!
Tells you all you need to know.
All these people are friends.
Wow. Something is finally getting done and you are not happy?
Most meals start with a soup or salad before moving to the main course. Maybe that is all we are going to get. I am not expecting anything more at this point than those involved on the Hillary side of this. I would be surprised if it moves to government actors because I do have well entrenched cynicism when it comes to that.
Exactly. Durham (if there is such a person) is just a distraction. Nothing will come from it.
“Perhaps the media will eventually arrive to a place where they admit the entire purpose of Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller was to coverup the issues that are much bigger than the digestible bites John Durham is currently serving.”
From your lips to God’s ears, Sundance, cause we all know that it will only be a miracle that will bring about that kind of change of attitude! These people are the “true believers” and I don’t mean that in a complimentary way at all! Any lie, any means is justified to bring about their desired end!
And folks think they can bring justice to this by cleaning up the election process.
My chuckle for 2021.
Truth is while SD points to players. No measurable justice presents. Which leads to the question if no justice, and inside government refuses to prosecute, or if they do the penalty so weak, that in the political arena, was a crime ever really committed?
Political gamesmanship at expense of citizens is reason enough to end our participation in governance. It’s time to end the charade that elected representatives are our advocates.
Finally sense. Amen, and thank you.
Who’s ignoring the big picture? The media? An indictment of the media being ignored by the media is hardly a surprising development. The media don’t hold the powerful accountable; they work on their behalf.
“Stenographers” — Good one !
You’ve heard the phrase: “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”–An Army major in Ben Tre, Vietnam, 1968
Of course, it was reporter Peter Arnett, so who knows if it’s true?
But there is no question Democrats are doing it again:
“We’ve got to build a Police State, unleash a Pandemic, surrender to foreigners, burn our cities, steal elections, loot the Treasury and censor Free Speech to stop that evil dictator Trump from building a Police State, unleashing a Pandemic, surrendering to foreigners, burning our cities, stealing elections, looting the Treasury and censoring Free Speech!”
You’ve also heard the phrase “It’s not you–it’s me.”?
It’s you, Democrats. All you–well, you and Mitch. Not Trump.
Excuse me–Actual President Trump.
<You’ve also heard the phrase “It’s not you–it’s me.”?>
J’accuse…the Citystate of Washington DC of murdering the American Republic. Now a nation of men, of petty power politics, of lies woven into the fabric of the entire Washington foundation.
What purpose is a Constitution and a Bill of Rights when Tyrants can laugh out loud that those are just words on a piece of paper.
..and do not forget -S E N I L E !!!!!
Worse, in Jan., 2017 the FBI/DOJ knew for a FACT that Igor danchenko, the key person behind the steele dossier, had fabricated it. Yet the FBI/DOJ still proceeded to get 3 FISA warrant’s after that date and appoint Meuller and his 19 democrats who spend $45 million and wasted 2 years going after Trump and his presidency.
The only conclusion that can be made is that the deep state, politicians, big tech & the media conspired to overthrow a duly elected president.
Because they got away with this, they impeached Trump twice, Stole the 2020 election and setup trump supporters 1/6/2021. We have a crisis in America, unless we bring to justice these rats we will have no country left!!!
Exactly and two years later those same FBI and DOJ Officials who knew there was no Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign went ahead with indicating, prosecuting, convicting and sentencing Roger Stone to 7 years in Federal prison for a crime they knew never even happened!
Sickening to say the very least!

@AliWatkins
I wanted to be Zoe Barnes…until episode 4. Sleeping with your source- especially a vindictive congressman?
Some people just have problems admitting they were wrong.
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/438978-pulitzer-prizes-awarded-to-newspapers-investigating-trump
Even our erstwhile “hero,” Tucker Carlson knows. In fact, he could’ve revealed this– & manifest other indignities – years ago.
They’re ALL in on it.
The FBI needs to go away.
I’m still outraged that the FBI were willing to let a mass shooting happen in Garland, Texas in order to make some point.
As I have said before, at the first hint of any political wrongdoing be wary the call for a “Thorough Investigation.” The investigation is never intended to bring the wrongdoers to justice. It’s meant to do a thorough coverup of the wrongdoers, and to fabricate an explanation that’s thought to be acceptable to the public. A thorough sweeping it under the carpet. Sure, there may be a few unimportant players that are sacrificed in the name of making it all look good, but rest assured the guilty will never be held accountable. As George Carlin aptly said: “It’s a BIG CLUB, and you ain’t in it!”
Government to police and prosecute government? In what sane universe?
Fox guarding the hen house. Nothing good can come of it, ever. Feathers and crushed egg shells abound, in a swirling mystery, while in the warm sunshine the beautiful fox meticulously grooms its beautiful fur, with lovely and comfortable satisfaction.
“Perhaps the media will eventually arrive to a place where they admit the entire purpose of Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller was to coverup the issues that are much bigger than the digestible bites John Durham is currently serving.”
Thus, Senator Lindsey Graham, Flake, et al, threatening the POTUS that he better not FIRE Robert Mueller. Even bringing legislation to the table to prevent it. ALL those who defended Robert Mueller’s integrity knew Robert Mueller was there to protect them.
Too big to fail comes to politics. Too scandalous to admit. It strips bare any pretense that the media are nothing more than a leftwing propaganda organ, that the left are the party of criminals and the GOP are their lackeys.
Then I’d say… it was wise of Tucker Carlson to move his family into the middle of nowhere, far away from the sick relationships that permeate The Club.
Yeah, did you see Chuck and Nancy sent their paid college kids to harass joe Manchin.
He helped cover up Clinton Admin crimes with Communist China who the Democrats adore (and love their illegal campaign contributions wink wink) and also helped protect mass murderer and criminal FBI informant Whitey Bulger helping to put 4 innocent people in jail for years while covering for him a criminal sadist FBI asset
The political/elite class launders their money through financial institutions. They launder their information and lies through the MSM. They launder their politics/policy through the NGOs and purchased politicians. And they launder their filthy reputations through charity.
They have no souls, so they try to buy them
Sundance…….The 800lb Gorilla in the room is the corrupt Law Profession…..That no one wants to talk about….Virtually all of the exposed corrupt at the FBI/DOJ/CIA, Senate Intelligence Committee, FISA Court, Congress etc…Has been willfully committee by corrupt Lawyers, Corrupt Judges and a complicit Judiciary that allows it all……..As an example…. Mueller, Weissman, Comey, Ohr, McCabe, Paige, Rosenstein, Schiff, Nadler, McConnell, Swalwell, Clinesmith etc….All Lawyers…..Almost half of Congress are Lawyers….
Politically connected Lawyers protect other Politically connect Lawyers regardless of Party Affiliation…..That’s what ‘Bagpipes’ Barr did…… That’s what the ‘Phantom’ John Durham is doing……..
Law firms…where the Elites’ crimes are laundered
It would be wonderful if “corrupt Law Profession” were exposed. The ABA could sure use exposure. But the corruption can only continue to exist because of the corrupt characters at the most LOCAL levels.
How about a scorecard for every GOP rep and senator for each vote they cast? That will do a lot to get rid of the traitors.
Shortly before midnight on Friday, House Democrats were able to successfully ram through Biden’s multi-trillion dollar infrastructure bill after voting 228–206 in favor of the disastrous spending plan.
With the help of thirteen RINO scumbags, Nancy Pelosi had enough support to pass the massive $1.2 trillion package in the late-night vote.
Here is the full list of Republican sellouts, and their office phone numbers, courtesy of Marjorie Taylor Greene – No surprise to see crybaby Adam Kinzinger on the list:

Every one of these traitors should start looking for new jobs.
Every bill is a massive Cromnibus bill that the Uniparty cobbles enough votes for, to remove accountability. All the squalid filth HAS to be passed, we’re told.
Gotta break those bills up, first.
Why didn’t the newly elected President Donald J Trump take to the podium and ‘spill the beans’…fully and graphically…to us, HIS voters, and the tens of millions of ‘unwashed’ apolitical working American public? Was he so fully under the command and control of his political handlers that he allowed himself to be stopped from striking back at this insidious cabal of evil-doers that had openly attacked him? I know he made some quasi-courageous attempts to break free…but he could never just take the bit and CHARGE! “DAMN THE TORPEDOES; FULL SPEED AHEAD!” Surely the extremely astute and street savvy Donald Trump understood the power of his words…the power of his followers. By holding back at their behest, he allowed us to be neutered…never to rise to that pinnacle again without fire and bloodshed! FREEDOM NOW!
Exactly ?
President Trump had a very lonely job in the White House as fair weather ‘friends’ distanced themselves. And, each time he issued declassification, he was met with, “No! no we will not,Too classified, too confidential “. And, also, he truly thought he would be serving 4 more years., that he had time.
But he was the President then…way back in January 2017? A man of courage and fervent heart-felt convictions would have acted/reacted when the coup was fomented and initially took place. Hesitancy and weakness when under attack only brings on higher levels of assault. I truly support President Trump, but…
Hagar: Like Trump didn’t do what you say. Most all of what we know of the corruption came from his 1st term. I really don’t know what you’d want in a President.
All these people are still vertical and breathing, yes? There’s your problem lady…
Does anyone believe D.C. can be fixed? Does anyone believe the minute President Trump announces a run for his next term the Deep State Uniparty assholes and their MSM Whores Of The CCP buddies will have seen the error of their ways and become little angel’s and not cook up a new scheme? Does anyone believe the culprits of this coup will go to prison? If so, the bus to Never Never Land leaves in an hour.
It has become painfully clear that the mueller team was part of the plan and coverup. How many fbi/mueller team cell phones were cleared? Who edited those 302 reports? Who altered that email? Who edited a phone transcript between John Dowd and General Flynn? Why were the 2 lovebirds so bold with their text messages? Did brennan brief obama about hillary’s plan to use fake russian intel to frame Trump 5 days before the start of ‘crossfire hurricane’ so no one would notice she was emailing classified documents on an unsecured server. How many went to prison for leaking suspicious activity reports? So many questions with blatantly obvious answers. Durham better do the right thing. This goes right to the oval office, obama and biden were a large part of it all.
They believed that Trump was as dirty as they were.
They believed that with the the warrant, they could expose and defeat him.
The warrant was the end game.
It never occurred to them that Donald Trump was an honest man.
When they found out they panicked, and started the coverup. They are desperate.
They are caught, all of them including the media, and there is no way out.
There are a number of issues, on the “Do NOT tell” list, and IMHO this is NOT the biggest, or even close.
Comey, McCabe, Weismann, Mueller,..and the rest of the “small group” that were the “mechanics” who engineered “the Insurance policy” are ALL career swamp creatures, well versed in navigating its murky waters, with “self-interest” their over riding concern.
The whole plan, which at some point, early on, they HAD to plan, falls apart UNLESS; they have an absolute iron-clad GUARANTEE that the House will “flip” in 2018.
Real politics; Impeachment MUST be initiated in the House, and a Republican majority House CAN NOT be seen to be initiating an Impeachment against a Republican POTUS.
It just “isn’t done”, doesn’t “play well in Peoria”.
WHO, at the outset, during the planning stages, could give such an absolute guarantee?
NOT Pelosi,…ONLY Ryan could give such a guarantee, without which all these careerists are risking so much.
In addition, a TRUE investigation in EITHER the Senate, or the House, that exposed the coup attempt, COULD have been devastating to their plans.
Hence, just as with the House flipping, BEFORE the plotters could move beyond the planning stages, they would need IRON-CLAD assurances that no such investigations would take place; specifically, that if some “Rogue” committee chair, like Devin Nunes, began to expose the plot, that leadership would rein him in, which is exactly what we saw happen, just like we saw as Ryan wrapped a red ribbon around the Speakers gavel, and GIFTED it to Pelosi.
Bottom line, the coupists needed ABSOLUTE guarantees and ONLY McConnell and Ryan could GIVE such guarantees, and only their own participation and complicity could insure they wouldn’t renig.
THIS, to me is the 800lb gorilla, everyone is ignoring.
Their duplicity and vile behavior needs to be punished. Unfortunately, it won’t be on this mortal plane.
Excellent post. I agree. However, I believe there are others higher up to whom Paul and Mitch (and many others) owe their criminal allegiance. We are dealing with a VAST criminal syndicate, and IMO neither Paul nor Mitch is at the top of it.
The 2018 election was irrelevant ..they had Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell already in place…and the Senate Intelligence Committee? they weren’t worried…
Maybe not an 800lb gorilla in the room, but at least to a troop of screaming spider monkeys swinging from the drapes and chandeliers, flinging feces.
Fixed it. P
“The Durham indictments treat the FBI as the duped party” – my biggest fear is that it is Durham’s job to serve up a few dopes and tell the world that the few dopes duped what was, at the time, still believed to be one of the greatest investigative law enforcement entities in the world.
Why worry about that? Does anyone really believe Durham or anyone else would dare expose the entire level of corruption and criminality that is this government?
It’s nice to have hope but nothing nice is ever going to cleanse DC. The dirty work required isn’t about being nice.
Yes but at the same that makes the non-FBI crooks even more guilty.
How does that address the criminal behavior that continues to grow within the FBI & DOJ? Answer, it doesn’t. Making non-institutional perps pay for the illegalities of the FBI, DOJ, CIA, DNI, NSA, etc does nothing to clean up the filth that has become this government. But the reality for Durham is this. He reports to Garland. Any hint of Durham moving toward indictments of institutional criminality will be shut down. People need to reduce their expectations to more hollow victories. There will be no home runs hit or touchdowns scored.
I am not going to say your wrong, but Durham within his 39 page indictment makes clear that the FBI & DOJ were party to this fraud. Now, will Durham indict Comey,McCabe, Baker, Strzok, Page rosenstein, etc. for lying to congress, falsiying FISA’s and more or as you fear sweep it under the rug!
Fair enough. Of course, you seem to understand my point. I’m sick of (aren’t we all) hollow victories while the cancer spreads throughout the country. To 45s point 2024 means nothing if 2020 is left as is. And, by the same token, Durham, like Barr, Sessions, Huber, Mueller and all the others, means nothing as long as there are untouchable individuals and institutions. As someone who has survived cancer, I know full well because it disfigured my body, that removing cancer means radical surgery. It can’t be pretty. In fact, the entire treatment has to be barbaric. Because if the cancer remains, the host dies. Metaphorically speaking, of course. And that is not something I believe Durham is up to or capable of. If they thought he were, he would be shut down (IMO).
Bear in mind Mueller was Director of FBI,..and purged it of experienced field agents using “7 and out” policy,…during BUSH admin.
Mueller signed MOU with CIA,…ditto.
Weisman was brought into 7the floor of FBI,…ditto.
Comey groomed to replace Mueller,…ditto.
All these avowed Conmunists moved to top positions at the FBI,….under BUSH.
You might EXPECT this under Obama, but Bush prepped the ground, for Barry.
Conmunist goals, since the 50’s to infiltrate and corrupt the leadership of BOTH Political parties,…check.
Yet, they continue to get away with it. They are rubbing our faces in it. We must like it as we continue to take it.
Of course, no one will ask Schitt if Herr Weissmann, the umpteen “angry democrat” Mueller team lawyers, and the 5o or so FBI agents are also senile plus his, Pelosi’s and Nadler’s impeachment Lawfare staff. Additionally Schitt could reveal his “evidence ” that’s in “plain sight” that he kept in his back pocket.
Corporatism.
Big corporations are now part of our government.
Journalists conspiring with bureaucrats because they are one.
And the censorship of social media is intended to strengthen their shared monopoly on information.
It’s Groundhog Day at The Treehouse, again.
As much as twitter idiot-deniers ask rhetorical questions, the truth still shines through.
Two questions SD has always been all over: how does the DOJ reconcile letting Wolf get off,
and how does Durham (ergo the DOJ) prosecute without sweeping up the Mueller conspirators?
Answer is they Do Not without the house of cards coming down.
And, come down it must.
The same group think is happening now with the vaccine mandates.
Frankly, I am confused. What, exactly, was Mueller covering up. Isn’t it clear CIA FBI DoJ NYTimes WaPo CNN and Blue Media were working together. Durham is proving details.
sundance could you explain the Mueller Weissman cover up?
You’re in charge of ringing Herr Mueller’s doorbell and asking him about Durham and the indictment. I’ve never heard Mueller acknowledge the “CIA FBI DoJ NYTimes WaPo CNN and Blue Media were working together”.
Correction typo error,not the US media,but the US merdia.
