Look carefully at this tweet from Catherine Herridge at CBS. Notice anything?
Emphasis mine:
“#Durham filing reveals his team learned for first time, this month, the Office of the Inspector General had TWO cellphones for former FBI General Counsel who is central witness in Sussmann case, “the Government has been working diligently to review their contents.””
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has known about the Durham probe of Michael Sussmann for how long? And specifically, the criminal case against Sussmann revolved around the central witness, the point of contact with former FBI General Counsel, Jim Baker. Yet the OIG said nothing to John Durham about their possession of Baker’s phones until this month?
Think about what that tells us?
TechnoFog has more details about the latest court filing SEE HERE. He also notes the issue of the Durham team only recently being notified by the OIG in January:
…”There is also a curious paragraph discussing the fact that Durham, in January 2022 – learned from the DOJ Inspector General that they possessed “two FBI cellphones of the former FBI General Counsel to whom the defendant made his alleged false statement, along with forensic reports analyzing those cellphones.” Durham’s team is going through those cell phones now to analyze their contents.
And there will be more, with Durham stating, “the Government expects to receive additional information and documents in the coming weeks that may be relevant to the charged conduct.” (read more)
Techno has a great perspective and is always a great source for interpretation of the legal filings. However, I would draw attention to the obvious question about the internal policing unit of the DOJ, the Office of Inspector General, not notifying the special counsel of the evidence in their possession.
It’s likely, from the information inside the current and previous filings, that sometime in the interviews with James Baker (a friend of the Lawfare alliance consisting of Ben Wittes, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe), the former FBI general counsel noted he turned over his phones to the OIG, most likely as an outcome of the previous OIG investigation into the political weaponization of the FBI in the OIG FISA application investigation around Carter Page.
Baker telling Durham he gave his phones to the OIG, likely led to Durham asking DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz about them. The OIG then recently admitting they had them…. as evidence… and so, here they are.
However, on its face the OIG not informing the Durham probe about them previously confirms what we previously outlined about how the information silos are used to contain and control information adverse to the interests of the DC system, writ large. Compartmentalization is how the corrupt enterprises of the Fourth Branch of Government, in this instance the DOJ, can bury information. It’s a feature, not a flaw.
Why didn’t you tell us you had the murder weapon? Well, you didn’t ask… and so it goes.
Keep in mind who is playing this game of hide the pea in the institution of Main Justice we are talking about.
The OIG is the internal watchdog, the internal police of the federal police apparatus. The guys who are supposed to be holding the justice system to account are the same guys who are keeping the justice system from accountability.
Chew on that for a few minutes while you contemplate all the previous OIG reports that resulted in exactly nothing, despite – or actually as a feature of their carefully worded content.
Yes, that would put the main office in charge of official justice obfuscation and damage control squarely in the hands of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Does that make all those OIG reports shade a slightly different, perhaps darker color grey?
Factually, the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was always a complete ruse perpetrated upon the American people, with the intended objective to stop candidate Trump, then hamstring President Trump, then cover up what they were doing to accomplish those goals, and then finally destroy the Trump presidency. Y’all know the story, I am not repeating it.
However, all of these tentacles of intrigue and rabbit hole exploration can get so intentionally complex that people lose sight of the bigger picture. The current question should be ‘why didn’t the DOJ-OIG inform Durham of the evidence they carried’?
Unfortunately, when you start asking those types of questions, you start to get too close to the heart of the issue. The entire apparatus of the U.S. Dept of Justice and the FBI are corrupt. As to the bigger question: will the Durham probe finally outline all the evidence to prove all the years of deception and fraud perpetrated by the massive aligned system of corrupt government? My short and painful answer is, NO.
The longer answer is attached to the one issue that all researched opinions and analytical theories never touch. The 800lb gorilla in the room that no one will put into their accountability prism, because it blocks all other sunlight:
If Durham was going to reveal the scale of corruption within these institutions, ie. what optimistic folks proclaim as possible; how is Durham going to handle the reality that Robert Mueller’s entire existence was in place to hide it?
The DOJ and FBI are corrupt and weaponized divisions of a corrupt system of U.S. government. The OIG providing willfully blind cover for the corruption within the institutions they are supposed to police is simply more evidence of the rot within them.
These institutions are being maintained in their current form by everyone in DC pretending not to know things – including John Durham.
Do we really think the same DOJ that facilitated, then defended, the targeting of parents at school board meetings would allow Durham to exist if he was a risk to their institution?
Or is it more likely that Bill Barr was the Bondo, and John Durham is the spray paint?
You decide.
this is what a fundamentally transformed government. no one or nothing exists to serve the people, they exist to serve the party. and party loyalty is never going to change that.
Well, I see people here have FINALLY reached the late George Carlin’s level of enlightenment:
“I have certain rules I live by. My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.” – George Carlin
“Sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn’t give a **** about them. The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It simply doesn’t give a **** about you. It’s interested in it’s own power. That’s the only thing… keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.” – George Carlin
I reached this level of distrust as a member of the military. There are things done that no one will discover, also the explanations of what happened to deceased service members. All for the plausible deniability. We all understand the necessity.
What we are seeing today is the willingness of a party to gain and maintain control of all facets of the government. The party is willing to break the law, cover it up, and will collude with the media to convey false stories to hide the lawlessness. It is not going to end with the 2022 midterms or the 2024 presidential election.
The job of all involved in government is to separate we the people from our money in the form of taxes, hidden taxes, regulation fees, and plain theft. Then it goes into one big money laundering operation to funnell the cleaned money back to them and their handlers. Never forget that governments do not generate one single penny of profit yet they are the largest employer in the world with each employee receiving full benefits for life! Let alone everyone of them leaving as multi millionaires from a job making on average $150,000 per year.
Your Patriotic duty is to AVOID taxes, STARVE the beast!!!
Not sure how you “starve” a rat that prints its own food pellets.
I remember seeing that routine by Carlin years ago and thinking “my G-d, how can ANYONE become this jaded”.
Yet here we all are, mouths full of black pills.
More like red pills. Awakened to reality.
Black is a step further than red. It’s when you realize there’s no changing it.
I never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
Sadly paraphrased from someone more clever than I.
There’s nothing in our constitution that protects a political party from responsibility for its criminal acts and there’s nothing in that document that authorizes a political party. The actions uncovered by this information and investigation resource shows the existence of a criminal enterprise and thus should be punished and the criminal organization that did these acts should be disbanded. They can always form another organization , just without their property funds and criminal leadership
You are close. But they exist to grow the Bureaucracies, for their own sake. Allegiance to the Party is only because they know which side of the political isle has the sacks of money for them.
To anyone with integrity, commonsense and any intellect at all, the entire federal government of this once great country is irredeemably corrupt and beyond salvage. I don’t need to explain the only option we have left.
What I want to see is Hilliarys name in some of the investigations instead of “The Clinton Campaign.” Remember…SAY HER NAME.
Yes, go be a precinct chair, get elected to the school board, send a donation to the truckers, become personally independent of government, and pray. Take back the power over you, your family, and your county, and your state. In that order.
And ignore the fedposters who want to judge goat you into any sort of a trap. Always remember Ray Epps.
Judas goat.
One of Donald Trump’s strengths, by the way, is using Judas goats.
The FIB’s Judas goats are all wearing khakis as cowbells these days, and posting recognizable phrases like the only way this ends is if we . . .
We see them now
The Judas goats to which you refer (I believe)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Front
I had to look up the meaning of this. Ray Epps = Judas Goat
The gofundme is withholding the 2,000,000
Yes you heard that right. Why anyone uses them when there are other funding resources is beyond me.
Yes, fill the grass roots level political positions like school boards, county boards, county to city to states. Insert representative federal government Rep’s and Senators. Fill them up with America loving patriots. We’ll do it legislatively.

There is a group of people mostly in one political party but not all and that party is a criminal enterprise.
Yes, and we will be called traitors once the process begins. It can not be done without violence. The system was corrupted by the people running it. It began within 25 years of the establishment of the United States. It was fully corrupted before the Civil War. We will need another one to regain control of our system, repair the flaws, and without remorse brutally punish people attempting to corrupt the system or the process. There is a large number of people who will be left to pay for the sins of this government.
Which is why every person must know what they want, then prepare to win, because losing a war is not an option.
Two relevant examples in front of us today: Vladmir Putin and the Truckers, 150,000 of them on their way in full view in front of a very large nation, border to border winter travel in -20 deg f temps, to their capitol. Their convictions are exceptionally well organized, evidenced by their logistical planning of which highways have overpasses high enough for their trucks; many of them crowded with ordinary people standing outside (!) in this weather waving flags, cheering, clapping, crying. Trucks are covered in the Canadian flag; they’re doing this for the people unlike their govt. which is indifferent and punitively against the people. Citizens who vote are consumers who need Truckers more then a punitive government.
Their plan to win is summed up, “After we arrive in Ottawa we will stay until our demands are met or they resign. ” The Truckers, ordinary folk, have flipped the narrative to expose the unaccountable Canadian and US governments.
Now it’s the people’s demands that will rule the people, they will win by confronting oppression, by organized chaos onto the plans of their govt. as they take the power of authority back.
When you watch the videos flooding the internet, be aware, almost none of it is being reported by Canada’s MSM ! The people are connecting one on one to unify again. Covid mandates division as in divide and conquer tactics. Faces without masks today are connecting again, smiles and yelling, shoulder to shoulder. We should watch and learn and support them because they ARE the lesson we’ve been looking for others to do for us. And they are. We lost our voice, the Canadians found their’s.
The unity that has come to the Canadian people is tangible, certainly inspiring and more powerful then any weapon made of metal. Unity. No military, no police force will stop them. The people are inspired. A most relevant war for freedom is unfolding.
“Revolutions” are a tricky thing. The execution of a revolution is probably the most easy part. What happens immediately following the vacuum of power is far more tricky if not unpredictable. It’s an almost guarantee that once a revolution is won, numerous factions will be vying to become the next focus of power.
The US revolution had much of this in mind when they started down the path of war. But even then, they couldn’t decide if we were to have a king or not. As I understand it, once the MVP of the war was to be the first leader, they somewhat left the choice to him as to whether or not he wanted to be king!
Now consider what we know today about RINOs and others who make their careers out of pretending to be on one side or the other while they are all simply two faces of the same coin.
The only way to avoid this is for the revolution, should there be need (and it’s arguable that there is a need), would be for that revolution to be operated by the US military. Turns out “devolution” is actually a function of the US military by design. And provided the leaders of a devolution remain true to their oaths, to defend the constitution, then “the great reset” won’t be quite what the globalists had in mind.
But I agree, the amount, degree and level of corruption of this government is beyond anything I can actually imagine.
The difference between hope and hopelessness is giving up. I’m not giving up. And frankly, I’ve lived enough of my life already so I won’t be so hesitant to give it up for a great cause like this country.
It appears that the STASI…I mean FBI…is in business for one purpose! That would be to serve as the “Sword and Shield” of the Democrat-Fascist Party! While corruption is common and rampant among both political parties, it seems that the Democrat-Fascists have a near monopoly. The DEEP STATE is far, wide and deeper than we can imagine. But for Democrat-Fascists, they have the STASI…I mean FBI…to cover for them! Will DURHAM get to the bottom of this? Maybe, but probably not! He may yet receive that “knock in the middle of the night,” and a visit from the STASI!
What I get from all the run around is that the federal government is pretending to look really serious and really busy while they waste time and hide truth about the malfeasance from the country. The FBI, DOJ, Homeland, all the investigative committees and hearings, special prosecutors and the corporate media know the truth and will hide it until the end. The rot goes to the bone in the federal agencies and media, the only cure is amputation.
When they called it the Homeland agency, I knew we’d been snookered. That is right out of a nazi playbook. Der Homeland. God help us. Maybe time for God to come back and issue an ultimatum? Hell, these demo-stasis think they ARE god
Many are the comments — and accurately so — drawing comparisons and similarities to the nazis w/out making the pertinent connection — the descendants of the OPERATION PAPERCLIP nazis assigned/employed at the CIA are now running the CIA — and a number of the DoJ people were former CIA while during SecState Hillary Clinton’s tenure, a large number of CIA types took lateral transfers to the State Department — so today the 3rd Reich may be running the show at the CIA, State, DoJ and DHS?!
(There have been two major RIFs at the CIA and I submit both times No nazjs were laid off, so their influemce, promotions and power increased!)
The two major enemies of the 3rd Reich are the USA and Russia — and the neo nazis have been helped to power in the Ukraine by the State Dept. during the Obama Administration!
Alway no they never take one step back always moving forward. Even when caught they just keep marching forward to their goal.
Other than purgery (which is laughable in DC) why would Baker, tell Durham he gave phones to OIG? Maybe Durham is showing he means business and is putting the hammer down a bit.
Durham is on a slow walk, picking off little people, who get the equivalent of a jay-walking ticket, from the corrupt (and strategically placed) judges/juries in Washington DC.
Eventually, the controlled Media/Internet will have erased the memory of these particular criminal deeds, while the Deep Cesspool carries on with current crimes.
They should all be held in the same prison as the January 6 patriots until their trial, as they continue to slow walk the investigation.
Maybe he’ll nail any people who disrespect his silo.
Durham is a highly effective and skilled prosecutor and examiner/cross–examiner (have witnessed him in action) so he very likely manipulated/cajoled Baker into admitting to those phones and their whereabouts?!
Let’s go to the 40,000 foot level.
If the only function of the Durham investigation is to make the swamp too worried that one of their own is about to put a knife in their backs, meaning they are too preoccupied to get together to put a knife in ours, then it’s working well enough.
What if King Richard II’s courtiers were all too tied up at home in internecine disputes and betrayals to become fully aware of, much less fully organize to suppress, the Peasant’s Revolt? Would the English monarchy have been finished off and saved the rest of us hundreds of years of misery?
Wouldn’t a little bias training resolve some of these DOJ/FBI problems? Wait, Whorowitz, in his report, wrote “bias? what bias?”.
Getting back to the Ukraine theatre… I wonder what Igor Danchenko’s views are on the subject?
It is thought he is a Russian spy and he was working arm in arm with the Demoncrats on the Steele Dossier.
Here is the Wikipedia link to Igor Danchenko. Please note the section where he is thought to be a Russian Spy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Danchenko
Here is the CBS article that talks of a Russian Spy but does not name Danchenko.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-judiciary-chair-lindsey-graham-releases-new-details-about-source-of-steele-dossier/
Does anyone think a war will break out over the Ukraine? Maybe this sabre rattling means higher oil prices for Russia and lower economic growth (less inflation) for Biden. Hunter also gets to sell a few more paintings.
It is sad and painful to see where American has gone but in a way it had to come out.
Prior to 2008 most everyday Americans still thought the GOP was good, the FIB was good, the Health Agencies were good and the Military was good but 14 years later I would bet that 60-70% of Americans now see a very corrupt GOP, FIB, Health Agencies and even huge parts of the military.
But this truth had to come out. Evil and corruption can’t hide forever as their greed for power and control usually drives them to expose themselves.
And clearly it has.
I think what has been truly jaw dropping is just how deep and far reaching this evil and stench is within our country now.
Its well beyond just DC and big city governments. It’s in our schools, colleges, businesses, media, its virtually everywhere.
Its like 50% of the country lost all sense of goodness and yielded or sold out to evil.
In the 20th century America WAS the beacon of hope, the country everyone turned to but today many of those same countries have moved on, no longer seeking our guidance and direction because they see what we have become.
I wonder if we will ever get that beacon of hope as a country back again?
It sort of looks like a nation that has turned its back on God.
Romans 1! You turn away from God, He leaves you to your own devices. And that NEVER goes well.
This whole exercise is like a home renovation. You peel away the layers added over the years and find more and more and more rot and mold and pests. Eventually we will rebuild, but demo day is gonna be a bitch.
&f=1&nofb=1
Umm, no. We have to be judged for Roe v Wade. From the smelly, hippy, wiccan Chicago chic that vacayed in Mena.
sundance has said this repeatedly “… the reality that Robert Mueller’s entire existence was in place to hide it?”
I don’t understand his point How was Mueller a cover-up? sundance could you expand on this point?
Start with CTH archives. It’s all there.
The Mueller operation was basically a continuation of all the corrupt activities that took place in the DOJ/FBI before the SC was appointed which needed to be covered up. Herr Weissmann was in the DOJ before the SC was appointed and, with the recusal of Sessions and acquiescence of Rosenstein, was essentially running the DOJ during those years.
Rosenstein’s wife IS the obama’s PERSONAL attorney! How VERY convenient!
Selective prosecution for one. Went after Manafort, ignored his boss Tony Podesta. Used the special Counsel to block Congressional inquiries by claiming information being requested would undermine the investigation.
To bury everything —- Jeannie Rhee, Hillary Clinton’s attorney, was most likely appointed to Mueller’s special counsel staff to bury Sussmann’s name in Mueller’s report!
Mueller was to bury everything of value! Mueller is the grandnephew of Richard Bissell; his wife is related to Charles Cabell and brother Earle Cabell. Mueller is multi–generation Deep State going back to the Truesdale/Rockefeller connection (dynamiting competitors refineries).
Regarding “information silos”. Remember when Sundance went to DC and met with a Durham team member? I bet Sundance showed him some info that he “siloed” from Durham.
With all the people involved racing to dirty their family name, does anyone think Durham will be any different?
Gives a new meaning to, “that’s my boy(girl)”. Just possibly for the first time in years there is once again a choice? Choose well Pilgrim! This life sets the stage for the next one!
“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government.”
I’m not shocked to hear the OIG is part of the deep state…I doubt anyone is…The DOJ is and has been for quite some time now, rotten to the core….The foxes have been “Watching” over the hen houses all this time.
JFK SURE found out!
If Trump ever becomes president again, do you think he will clean house like the AG did in Virginia? He hasn’t said a word on any of this.
It’s going to be Biblical. He’s going to pull down the whole damned temple on their heads.
Count on it.
…or the CONUS is nuked into a glass sheet ON THE DAY the cabal takes the $90 trillion being held by the boomers! That’s THE only reason we’re still here at all. You don’t think the mid-east can’t buy a 2nd hand nuke, do you?
Nope
In reading, studying and researching that gem of a legal document for over a month, the Sussmann Indictment, the collusion and culpability tracks across many agencies: FBI, DoJ, CIA, DoD, DARPA, NSA, State, FISA court, DNC, Brookings Institution, Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie, Crowdstrike (minor), Neustar — Packet Forensics — Zetalytics (major), Georgia Tech — it interlinks or interconnects to the 2020 massive election fraud —– doubtful if this can be rectified through litigation or voting!
FBI exists to protect government crimes.
Keep that in mind.
I’ve decided.
Durham is Shiny Object #455.
Durham appointment was in violation of the law because he was an employee of the DOJ at the time. A setup for failure by Bondo Barr.
Garland would have fired him, and the media would have applauded the AG for doing so, had Durham posed a threat to the corrupt DOJ and FBI.
The best one can hope for, and I think it unlikely in DC, is that Durham actually drags this out until another administration can act on it before the statutes of limitations makes prosecutions moot.
Could the fact that this report revealed this information be a signal flare to expose the corruption?
Durham’s hand may be tied, but could he be ‘blinking in Morse Code” that he is a captive of the corrupt system?
There must be many similar positioned people who want justice, but are overwhelmed by corruption and threats and blackmail to partake in the corruption. Speak out and be destroyed.
Blinking Morse Code LOL
Am I wrong that it was reported over a year ago that they had Baker’s phones and that he was cooperating?
Justice will only come when Jesus does.
A topical quote I saw the other day, can’t recall where: “The system has not just become corrupt, corruption has become the system.” – unknown
Indeed.
That is exactly right. Corruption has taken over the entire country…even at local level. Loss of ethics, morality, “doing what is right”…just does not exist except in small percentage of individuals. I don’t know how you change that….or if it can be changed. Maybe a Noah’s Ark situation which wipes out everyone and every thing except for one righteous man and one righteous woman with a couple of cows and some seeds. Oh, maybe a couple of chickens and a couple of fish.
But is it really corruption or that which we have mistaken for corruption: nazi/communism?!
One should ask … Why did Durham NOT ask Horowitz for his evidence when Durham was appointed 3+ years ago???
Forget the executive summaries used by the Media and Government to base their “nothing to see here conclusions”. The actual body of the IG’s reports,that we actually dissected here on CTH, HAD this evidence included in the body of the REPORTS. Recall allot of the dissection of the Horowitz reports was Executive Summary vs body of the report. Horowitz found and LISTED the actual evidence of wrong doing even under the limits imposed on an IG investigation.
That fact speaks volumes as much as the fact the Horowitz did not “voluntarily” provide the information and material evidence.
Then there is the old news we also discussed that Rotten Rod Rosenstein and “Blind Mellon Chitlin” Sessions ignored the body of their own IG’s report.
[Blind Mellon Chitlin’ is a Cheech and Chong character….look up the skit its a good one and appropriate for Sessions]
The OIG normally turns over all evidence during ongoing investigation!
More and more people are becoming aware of the extent of the corruption within every institution: The bureaucracy, the legislative, the media, and many of the State governments. It’s becoming apparent to many that it is all too corrupt to be salvaged. There is only one viable option at this point: Break the nation apart – State secession. It needs to happen before the corruption takes over those States that have not been corrupted beyond salvation themselves.
The Texas Nationalist Movement is working to make that happen in Texas:
texitnow [DOT] org
tnm [DOT] me
If Texas manages to break away, many other States will likely follow.
Defund the (corrupt) FBI.
You know folks, there’s a way to impeach the entire federal government at one time.
I always thought of Horowitz as controlled opposition. Puts out enough bad stuff to scold the FBI but never enough to really nail them.
Is it possible the IG was not only withholding evidence — but actually feeding Joffe/Sussman info about what Durham was doing? That’s head-exploding material. Am I reading in too much here from the document, Mr. Sundance?
Imagine a government IG indictment. Has this ever happened in history?
When does Horowitz testify before the grand jury?
https://thefederalist.com/2022/01/26/6-new-revelations-from-the-john-durham-spygate-probe/
…”the OIG provided the special counsel’s office a written forensic report concerning a “cyber-related matter” that Sussmann had told an OIG special agent in charge about. Specifically, in early 2017, Sussmann told the OIG agent that one of his “clients had observed that a specific OIG employee’s computer was ‘seen publicly’ in ‘Internet traffic’ and was connecting to a Virtual Private Network in a foreign country.”
When the OIG office provided Durham’s team the “forensic report,” it represented “that it had ‘no other file[] or other documentation’ relating to this cyber matter.”
However, one week ago, Sussmann’s attorneys informed Durham’s team that Sussmann had, in fact, personally met with the DOJ’s inspector general in March 2017, when he passed on the tip about the OIG employee’s connection to a foreign VPN. While Sussmann had not told the OIG his client’s name at the time, last week his lawyers informed Durham’s team that it was Tech Executive-1, i.e., Joffe, who had discovered the OIG employee’s computer connecting to a VPN in a foreign country.”…
Horowitz was on the meeting agenda in Jan. 2016 when the FBI was working out the details of sending a server to NABU in Ukraine, and manning a satellite office.
https://nabu.gov.ua/en/novyny/fbi-has-provided-nabu-equipment-digitizing-paper-documents
Hi — I read that. It’s got some folks speculating Sussmann/Joffe were running some kind of graymail op against Horowitz’s office, to deter them from coming down on Comey’s FBI and Hillary’s crew.
Whatever the case, we need some internet sleuths to dig up dirt on that Horowitz-Sussmann meeting.
At what point in exposing their communist operates government will American citizens seize their Constitution powers over all government, unite across the nation, immediately kick out the whole mess, and start over?
Right.
Never.
America is post mortem
I’m feeling a bit depressed over all this criminality on the part of DoJ/FBI. And the influx of illegals at the rate it is happening. With each passing day the numbers grow. I don’t see how this undone, ever. Having lived in Venezuela twice in my life, I know what it’s like to live in siht country, one supposedly democratic (I was there prior to Chavez). It’s every man for himself. The politicians are the one percent. It’s not pretty.
Perhaps, Durham should look into the wiped cellphones of the Mueller investigators. I’m sure there is a treasure trove of conspiracy info there!
You are not going to be named Inspector General in Washington DC unless the Swamp is 100% sure that you are politically trustworthy. Horowitz told us, remember, that he looked and looked and looked but could never find evidence of any political motivation behind Mueller’s Russia probe. He only had the job to begin with because the people who appointed him knew for sure that he could be trusted to announce that conclusion in spite of the Mt Everest of evidence to the contrary. Hopelessly corrupt, indeed.
Gateway Pundit used CTH as a source for their post on this topic too.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/01/latest-actions-durham-indicate-broken-investigation-broken-department-doj/
I am speculating, but I suspect our Sundance provides materials and writes articles for Gatewaypundit.
Oh, I really hope not. Why Jim and JOhn Hoft have become tellers of the truth is beyond me. How Long have you followed them, go back a few years. They promoted the China Virus, They were frequently on Alex Jones spouting fear, and inside info, that was mush.
I read all sides, and follow the verify if you can all info.
That was then and today is today. Why not add Sundance and why would Sundance pass up a chance to use this as means to “throw sand” in the gears. I actually hope I am right and other outlets pick up his words.
ALL the “conservative” websites and media outlets go through cycles of evolution.
Sundance has a proven as well as growing following. He produces great factual (Crowd Sourced) products to place on a commercial Add driven web page. Further it may even draw more “younger” people beyond the current band of believers to CTH.
Sundance, How long? How long has the corruption been there? Did Kennedy warn us? Is Obama the puppet master or the lead puppet in the show? Who controlled the drug trade in Afghanistan and around the world for the last 20 years? If drugs are good for blackmail, and black money, is human trafficking even better? Will people in power use murder, blackmail, and planting evidence to accomplish there goals and stay in power? Who is the puppet master pulling Obama’s strings? If you are not getting the right answers, did you ask the right questions?
What it tells us is that all incriminating material has been safely removed from the phones, so now you can have them.
Durham is a master at slowwalking. There is no way this investigation should take this long. He drips out an occasional piece of information just to ensure the public perception that he is actually doing something.
You know that feeling you get when the continual unearthing of facts eliminates any potentially benign (or, at least, not nefarious) explanation for the actions that occurred? Because I’ve been reading CTH for a few years now, this happened quite some time ago, but every time I read something new on this (Durham) subject, I get that feeling all over again.
I’m no Pollyanna and know that the Intelligence Community and State Department were compromised, but held out some sliver of hope that it was limited to a small cadre of people and that, coupled with big government bureaucracy/inertia, and self-serving careerists who suspected corruption and illegality but didn’t say anything, we could possibly clean house with the next election at the upper echelons of these organizations and begin the restoration of trust. That sliver of hope is gone and I no longer believe that is possible.
It isn’t just this latest revelation from the Durham probe…..it’s everything you see day in and day out: the abject lack of concern for the southern border, the insane levels of spending, the wokeness pervading every aspect of the federal government, the pretending that we have a cogent and respected POTUS, and the truly stunning way in which the world-class medical apparatus in this country obfuscated the science to fit a pre-determined narrative and plan.
I’m a hopeful guy but I’m also a realist, and I don’t see how to fix this short of….well, we’ll save that for another time.
It really is mind boggling. I’ve stopped trying to figure out what can be done to fix things. It is beyond me.
This thing was never going anywhere.
More theatre.
I speculated per Barr’s actions (and words) during the period from Election Day through Biden’s installation that Durham was made Special Counsel to protect Barr and team Barr, and to ensure compliance with the bargain he made with team Trump Must Go!
Thus the following news further substantiates this and the timing of both sides of this coin are anything but coincidental:

Nothing can stop what is coming.
No surprise that Horowitz is a stooge.
No way, the IG is corrupt too.
shocker.
you can’t drain the Swamp. DC is nothing but Swamp.
I have believed that there was a coup in this country and it took place in 1963 with the assassination of Kennedy. That was the beginning of them forcing world government on the USA.
Government has been corrupt since its beginning. Government, you produce I confiscate from you. Basically government is the lazy peoples why of getting what they want, with having to work. And here we are!
Quite corect — the rubes love to come up with mindless reasons behind the JFK assassination but among his many anti—bankster actions were these three: refusal to support amending Section 25 of the Federal Reserve Act (required to create a global banking cartel — Johnson would later support it); Executive Order 11110 to disburse $4.3 billion through the US Treasury in debt–free, silver-backed funds; and, refusal to pursue the Vietnam War, a conduit to movie monies offshore while enriching Wall Street. (“Battling Wall Street: the Kennedy presidency” by Donald Gibson was an outstanding, but dense, read.)
Just another speed bump of the 10,000 mile long road of why federalism has failed… Simply said, this is what all governments turn into.
The big picture is, we were warned, we failed to control it, we have no side, and you can not out vote where we are.
The faster people stop focusing on the symptoms and start looking at the actual problem the faster we can have a big ole fight about it and fix it.
So, why didn’t Durham just have asked OIG way back when:”Waddiya got?” SHEESH
Ummm. . . . That’s the point! The OIG was hiding evidence which was why Durham notified the OIG that his investigation was being expanded to include them — couching this in tactful, legal terminology — yet still a relatively COSMIC charge!
(These were some blockbusters from the Durham team!)
Burn it all down….
Not only do the FBI/DOJ refuse to have oversight “due to ongoing investigations”, fail to release Brady Evidence when desired, fail to admit errors and right wrongs, they do not work within their Agencies when it suits them. Clearly Durham should have been told unofficially they had this evidence, if not officially.
What’s the IG withholding?
Other wrongdoings not charges or escalated by him?
If there were Justice, all those monitored by FBI/DOJ falsely thru Page FISA should be notified.
And let them all have their days in Court.
bigger picture… is William J Burns of the CIA related to former William J Burns of the BOI (1921-24)? Politically motivated Federal Investigations began under BOI’s W J Burns for which he was forced to resign and J Edgar Hoover took over who transformed the agency into the FBI, developing their methods and practices the Intelligence Community gladly adopted.
It appears that ”JUSTICE‘‘ in the USA is for ”JUST – US” according to the ”ruling” party.
I read this article twice. I was calloused prior to reading it, now I am more calloused. This report is, again, disappointing, but not surprising at all.
I hope Bannon is right on his War Room webcast prediction – a 100-seat swing in the House in 2022, Senate majority, the new reps all MAGA, Mitch ditched. Total realignment to America First, MAGA.
100 seats, 100 years MAGA. And the reform and clean out will be robust.
As someone who has practiced law for almost 40 years, it is amazing to have witnessed the complete implosion of the DOJ and the FBI.
When I got out of law school, these offices had premier reputations, even though they may have been little more than Potemkin villages.
While the FBI crime-lab debacle from the early 1990’s and its criminal complicity with Whitey Bulger were massive embarrassments, they served as a precursors to decades of many disastrous incidences involving deceit, deception and other nefarious conduct by agents and supervisors.
I think this goes back to the 1980s, although a good case could be made for 1963!
It’s time to hang the rats
SCOTUS should disband their self! Appointed judges for a life time is setting yourself up for corruption! Judges are bought and paid for daily! Congress shall make law!!!! The SCOTUS over reach politics at worst!! DC mafia will never give up control!! You can’t legislate this corruption!
