Then since we have little ability to stop evil in human hearts its time to return to the original “plans” of the Founders as inspired by the Almighty and LIMIT power/authority in these unelected and unaccountable agencies.
Again, when the gubbermint fears the people….
The ONLY way to keep these jack azzes in check. Until we return to that, we are at their mercy and getting closer to north korea
And the time is getting closer and closer to citizens taking justice into our own hands since there is none in the DOJ/FBI. The government no longer represents We the People so it’s needed why??
Until a Sri Lanka type event takes place, TPTB will continue to do as they please.
Parking Garages is where they will go. There are parking garages in every single block in DC. Some blocks have two or three with a camera at the entrance and exit even if they are next to each other. There are extra cameras on every lamp post, 4 cameras at each intersection too.
Defund the entire organization. Raise the buildings, and salt the earth where they stood. Let it stand as a reminder for the next 200 years what happens when the government goes against it’s own people.
I read somewhere years ago that J.Edgar told Bobby K. that he had pictures of him (Bobby) out in the desert having a threesome with two women. Bobby’s reported reply “I couldn’t care less”.
I’m no fool. That’s the way it reads, and it appears that subsequent posters took it that way. More than enough time to clear up the misconception, if the OP wanted to.
Not familiar with you, “john” but there are posting guidelines going back years regarding writing to understand and be understood. It’s more difficult in the short format of written replies, but always worth keeping in mind.
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. was an acquaintance of mine as we both lived in the same small valley. He was a devout Christian and a very good man. I had an opportunity to interview him for the local newspaper. Back then there were still some decent agents and Efrem was friends with many of them.
How wonderful! His father was a superb violinist, but this you know. I am glad to know this about him. Thank you. I bet doing that interview was a highlight of your journalistic career…signed, the other Mrs Jones.
It does. When such people are in charge…entrenched even…we can expect nothing else. The rot goes right through the (not our) core of government.
Think of necrotizing fasciitis, a hideous disease which starts small, then quickly eats its way through the body. If there’s any chance to halt it, often affected limbs need to be removed. That’s the United States government…full stop. The disease has progressed too far to save the body of our nearly deceased Republic.
I thought I was no longer surprised by this blatant corruption, but this really takes the cake. When I heard this on Tucker Carlson last night, I patiently waited for Sunday’s response.

“Hey, who do we have over at the Bureau (FBI) that can help us with this issue?”
That is what this is all about, “who do you know?” Friends of friends helping friends get where they want to go.
Question of the day: Who is John Durham friends with and what do they do? Any recent law school grad would look at the jury selected and know it was slanted toward the defense from the very get go…why didn’t Durham’s team know and sense as much?
Answer that question and you have solved a simple mystery of how they lost their case, if in fact they lost it or were pretending to play the game much like the Washington Generals playing the Harlem Globetrotters in basketball.
Break out the lollipops, there are enough suckers for everybody!
But what if Sussman was found not guilty as a means of getting evidence on the record? How about there are more people involved ( most of DC) but in order to get the bigger fish, you have to let the minnow go?
Just look at all the information that Sussman trial brought forth.
Evidence revealed to what end? Is anything EVER going to be done with said evidence to ultimately hold the government criminals accountable? I believe the answer is no.
All the “evidence on the record” would have still been on the record had Sussman been found guilty. A guilty verdict would have also opened the door to further prosecutions of those people revealed in the evidence as having participated in Sussman’s crimes.
Believing that Durham’s strategy was always to simply reveal evidence as a useful end objective, while not obtaining a guilty verdict is the culmination of hopium intoxication.
Durham’s job was to protect the government institutions (FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc.) while giving the illusion of seeking truth. He was successful.
From a “builder’s perspective — when you acquire a property with a derelict structure (with the intent to build new on existing lot/foundation), first you must have the vision to rebuild and SECOND: you have to declare the existing structure “condemned” and then knock it down.
We have said declaration in hand and shall make it public, and roll the wrecking ball and bulldozer and dump trucks.
No hopium involved: recon, surveillance and reporting. If however it isn’t taking place (condemnation/demo/hauling off), report that as well.
We have many more options still available: they may not be purely admin/paperwork/argument meaning some parts may be hands on physical (as arrests ALWAYS are) and may be under the legal authority of military law since civil structures are in full collapse (obviously so as Durham just showed). And if that isn’t happening: you can read para 2 to Dec of Ind for indicators to where this is headed.
To what end? In one sense it puts into the record as a legal precedent that those actions Sussman was found innocent on are therefore legal going forward, and one thing these justices love is following precedent. It’s a backdoor way or re-writing the law via lawfare.
I have no argument with your theory, Bessie. I was addressing the hope that there was a planned positive end (for the victims of the governments’ criminality) to the trial despite the expected ridiculous verdict.
Yes, it bolsters the criminals’ confidence of their ability to continue to break laws with impunity going forward. Good observation.
Unless it was , let’s say, Michael Flynn case on trial. Then lying to the FBI would be a serious crime and they’d throw the book at hm in 1 second because “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!!”
I have heard that you never invite FBI in your home if they show up at your door and you don’t walk outside to talk with them. You tell them they can come back when you have a lawyer present. I seriously doubt they honour those rules anymore.
Sure you can. For example, you can say your shirt is red when it is white and you will not be charged with lying to the FBI even though the FBI may have sworn you in and even though technically you spoke an untruth.
Durham bringing this case against Sussman was unimpressive and I think immature. Making a federal case out of Sussman’s misrepresentation of himself to his friend Jim Baker when both Sussman and Baker knew the deal was focusing on minutiae.
Basically , “Jury Nullification” is what happened. No matter who on the jury voted or even if one or all voted.
Believing that a law is not legal, inappropriate, or nonsense, etc., and thus voting, “not guilty”, on the charge(s)thinking that the regardless of whether or not the defendant(s) are guilty, but that the jurors vote(s) is a vote against the law that the defendant is being charged with.
( in this case, the charge of “Lying to the FBI”.).
Won’t hear much about it from any lawyers or judges, particularly in a courtroom, but it is there as a legal principle in courts of every level ( when they are true legal functions).
Mention or ask about it when selected for a jury pool & you will likely not be selected.
( Unless there is some sort of circumstance I am not aware of right now.)
Placing just one member of a jury on a jury that believes in “jury nullification”, can result in what we saw with Sussman, or even a hung jury.
Prosecutors & Judges don’t like going thru the motions of a trial if someone or some on a jury know that they can simply hold out, or convince all of the jurors about jury nullification and cause the case to be either dismissed for a hung jury, or like this example with Sussman. just let the person go free with no punishment.
I am not an attorney/lawyer, but the above is how I understand things to be in our legal system here in the USA.
P.S. – I would have no qualms about nullifying a jury should I be on a jury & I believe the law is not worth being a law, or is un-constitutional. Think as an example, on a trial where it involves the 2A.
Any law that goes against, “Shall NOT be Infringed”, will get a jury nullification from me were I to be on a jury with any charge based on going against the US Constitution , and any of the Bill of Rights.
Etc.
I was taught that being a juror is a civic duty. I was also taught about jury nullification should I ever “be” on a jury. I reckon they don’t teach such things in Social Studies, but they did in CIVICS class long ago. Pity Civics is still not taught as it should be.
GOD Bless ya’ll & GOD Bless the USA~!
Semper Fi~!
😉
P.P.S. – If anyone finds what I just posted in error, I would appreciate being corrected if so. I think I am correct though, but am open to someones correction if necessary to make sure that the info/knowledge is correctly shared with others here. 🙂
I’ll ask a friend of mine who has some friends he says are close to those on Durham’s team. Only this request won’t be formal, it will be asked on the “back channels” most likely via a Country Club event or something like that.
Has there ever been a silver lining when injustice is served? If having a smoking gun is no longer enough to convict then there is no way to sugar coat the verdict. When the system is rigged there’s no hope. At this point Killary could come out and admit to it all and it would not change her zip code. 🙄If it’s not the judge, it’s a juror, if it’s not a juror it’s a lawyer, if it’s not the lawyer it’s the DA, if it’s not the DA it’s the DOJ, if it’s not the DOJ, it’s loopholes in the law. At some level the system is corrupted or rigged.
I think a visit to her final resting place with a full bladder is about all the satisfaction any of will ever achieve. It’s in my plans.
Also, a trip to DC for Joe’s “lying In State”. I’m sure my Marine Drill Instructor voice will sound pretty well in the Rotunda. I’ll be bringing lots of bail money…but I plan to make my point.
The information brought forth gives solace to the deluded hopium addicts.
And then when there is no justice brought, they join the rest of us, sickened by it all and beaten down and in despair.
Brilliant psy-ops. Brought to you by the idiots that overturned Guatemala in 1954 and then thought they can do the same to any country they want. Including their own.
An Agency of putzes and yutzes who started off as the unofficial buddies with the Nazis, and which has succeeded in shearing any morality from the country like a shepherd denuding sheep.
I agree Sketchy. We only have the history of these agencies to go by and the history has not been great for law and order. There are indeed 2 sets of rules…if you are in the UniParty, anything goes.
Let’s not forget about the Strok/Page texts discussing a friendly judge to push the FISA and Russia Hoax narrative.
Not many here had illusions of Durham actually achieving much. We have had even more exposure of how corrupt the Swamp is.
I wonder how many Americans are okay with Perkins Coie being an FBI hub since 2012?
Judge in Sussmann case is now set for life. No one hands bags of cash like in movies. But spouse will get more clients, kids get into any schools they want to. That’s how real world works in DC. Nothing vulgar. Just lots of behind the scenes wishes granted now.
It won’t be surprising to see this judge’s name show up on a list of judges FJB decides to pack the Supreme Court with. Payback is the new 10% from the big guy.
The 81 million that voted for Biden are cool with it.
What’s that quote Obama used (I think he got from his [step]father): “People will accept communism as long as they feel they’re getting a big enough piece of the action.” Or something to that effect.
I wonder how many people know who/what Perkins Coie is and even if they do know, want to be bothered with it…I’m out there fighting every day, but man it’s a battle.
I’d say 80% of Americans likely are, and would/will righteously parrot any bs line NBC comes up with as justification as to why it is totally ok and this is a MAGA King conspiracy theory.
Also let’s not forget per the IG report of sports tix, dinner’s, entertainment (probably male) paid for by the Fib to the media…to curry favorable press and opinions against our Lion…
Durham knew he was going to lose the case. However, Durham got what he wanted which was exposure and evidence under sworn testimony. Sussman was the little fish used as bait to get to the bigger fish.
Laugh all you want chief… but given the Dim venue of DC…everyone (except you) knew the deck was stacked against getting a fair trial where 98% are gibmit employees and Dims.
It exposed and confirmed the HRC/Perkins conspiracy against our Lion and deplorables…perhaps it can be extrapolated outward…
And what will be done with that “exposure and evidence under sworn testimony”? Seriously? What “bigger fish” will be hooked only to get a “DC Jury” and “DC Verdict”?
I saw a headline yesterday “Who will Durham Tackle Next?” And I thought, given this clearly mob run courtroom pantomime, who knows and who cares? So corrupt that even the pretense of conducting an honest, uncorrupted, blind justice trial is passe.
We certainly are giving the banana republics we all sneered at a run for their money. Just as well Lee Greenwood, fair weather patriot, won’t be performing his song soon.
Hell, I’m crying about our Constitutional Republic!!!
Where’s the Representation?
As we watch the NY AG, throw the laws and constitution out the window, as she goes after the entire Trump Family and the Trump Organization, without batting an eye based on lies and innuendo!!
Kris Kobach? I think he would have been a good endorsement for Trump during Kansas AG run and wish he were in Trumps cabinet. Yet men like Kobach never gain power because they are not corrupt. Trump loves people who are “tough on the border and tough on crime”
I believe most people know where this ends. It will be very ugly– for them. Every civilization from the beginning of time has had periods where the rulers abused their power and abused the people. When the people rose up, the rulers were torn limb from limb. For purportedly educated people, our rulers sure are stupid m@therf@ckers.
“The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers;”
Sundance
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sometime after this happens.
That is exactly the approach the left tried to use on Trump:
“His kind must never rise again”
The left ain’t playing for points.
The republicans (those in office, not folks all across the country) don’t even fight back. Trump gave them a spine transplant and they STILL don’t even fight back.
That’s exactly what the Lord commanded Isaac to do when Israel’s armies were clearing out the pagan idolaters from the Promised Land. God told Isaac to annihilate them all – including women, children, slaves, and animals. No survivors. But the Israelites failed to do that in all cases and it ultimately cost them their nation.
if we don’t completely clean out the corrupt politicians and their helpers, they will rise again.
Democrats cry about their democracy.
Democracy = mob rule = fascism.
Any threat to their power structure – like deplorably ultra-MAGA voters – is a threat to their democracy.
Exactly why we were given a Constitutional Republic.
AND exactly why the American Revolution was “special.”
The french revolution — which the commie left compares to the American Revolution is a complete LIE. The french revolution was a vindictive blood bath for decades, and can only be compared to the Russian, Chinese, Cuba, and EVERY “communist” country. All of them are “democracies” (mob rule). Followed by a tiny ruling class and serfs.
I hear you, Abigail.
The laments about “our democracy”, when the rug is being pulled out from under our constitutional republic,
has been hard to stomach.
I even understand the lies when the swamp creatures say it.
Those people are paid very well to say it
But when Joe six pack cries about “our democracy”, it really hits me in the heart.
How can the average Joe or Jill have this whole idea of what is happening bass ackwards?
(rhetorical question, don’t answer)
Especially the economic collapse portrayed in the movie which I likened to NAFTA & the WTO and the CFR’s treason of shipping all of our jobs and tech to China under their CFR criminal/traitor puppet Clinton
Fired off this email to Mitch.
“You going to look into this connection between PerkinsCoie and the FBI ? Or will it expose things you are involved in ?
Remember sir to cover your ass and line your pockets, but you already know that.
Have a good day and say hey to all the other thieves up there in DC for me.”
Nice, but, he won’t even see it and if by some chance he does see it, he will snicker and you might get a nice form letter back thanking you for your
support and interest in your government.
When you call Congress, in essence you are alerting informing the aides who will than hopefully discuss inform other aides and so on and so forth. I call with the express purpose of showing the aides the truth like leading them to the Barnabas Fund website which had first hand evidence that the Syrian “rebels” were in fact CIA/Saudi backed terrorists called “ISIS” & “Al-Cia-Duh” who we were told did 9/11. Considering secular Syria was not taken out by the Swamp traitors, my mission was successful, though I’m sure there were loads of other Americans doing similar things.
Breads and circuses Baby!
…I must’ve watched too much film noir in my time…all I can really think to say to EVERY SINGLE post on CT is: “Rat Bastards!”

The bureaucrats run the government. They are all leftists based on their education and lack of experience in everything. The monkeys pulling the strings of Joe are like monkeys trying to F*&k a football. Our government doesn’t work because of who is working in our government. Entitled little Pr!$ks newly minted from the university system of useless and meaningless knowledge. When we change political sides in November we should remember to sweep some of the trash out.
The fact that Brown University had corrupt evil Nancy Pelosi as their commencement speaker speaks loudly to the planned indoctrination of today’s youth. Cheers to the Harvard Grad who had the guts and the brains to walk out on Merrick Garland’s indoctrination speech.
Parents who care about America should refuse to spend a dime on any university that hires swamp creatures for graduation indoctrination speeches.
My sister’s commencement 43 years ago [at Oberlin] had George McGovern as the speaker. He told the graduating class that he was sorry that our [then] newly inaugerated President [Reagan]was going to kill them all by getting us into a nuclear war!
When sundance says;
“Joe Biden is not running this economy. Joe Biden’s economic advisors are not running this economy. Joe Biden’s cabinet members are not running the economy. The people running this economy are the climate change activists behind the scenes who have been elevated into positions in all economic cabinet offices throughout the administration. This was the deal in 2020 that led to Biden’s installation.”
BELIEVE it.
Republicans Are NOT promising to fix the climate and take away your guns.
We will win in November because we are not the DEMOCRATS.!
What I cannot fathom, is why do we not hear of people screaming hysterically about these costs that are decimating family budgets? Livelihoods?
Surely there is outrage? MSM suppression?
The high costs affect all average citizens of each party.
I am human and sometmes judge a book by its cover…although I know a talented artist creates a desire to ‘buy the book’. The Thief in Chief’s beedy eyes, bother me as do many of his facial expressions. Oh well, 81 million “disagee” with me I guess/s
PS–Who really cares about Johnny Depp and Amber? Not I.
P.S. You know the jurors in the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard defamation trial decided that you cannot believe all women. They found Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp, and acted with malice. The jury said Amber Heard had to pay Johnny Depp a total of $15 million dollars. Mr. Depp said he got his life back after six long years.
Maybe, just maybe these are small steps in the right direction, for others who have been maliciously defamed.
This is why the Framers never envisioned large government and people who “served” a lifetime.
They evidently thought we the voters would never let them serve so long.
The longer people are in government in office, the more they view that office as “theirs.”
Further, the people in the desk jobs that don’t make great money still have nice retirement benefits and security in their jobs
I really think it’s time we broke up the federal government, send all the agencies to different towns and cities AND further, in huge departments, like Justice and State, the departments within should be sent to small towns.
Lawyers are the great corruptors of this country.
The reason the Ivy schools are so liberal is because many of those grads have been licking butt for years to get to those schools and are still licking to get taken by DC or NYC firms.
LOL. You are funny. She was kicked off her committee assignments out of the gate. She is a junior representative on the minority team. How, exactly, can she hold people accountable?
Don’t drag one of the only reps up there actually representing us.
Newly elected Reps and Senators are told they are too junior and have no standing because….they junior. That’s the problem.
I don’t care if they are newly elected or like Graham and Pelosi and have bought decades of time in Congress, they are an elected member and they still were elected to represent the people. This “hierarchy” is complete BS and is an outright attack on the people the “junior” Congressman represents.
This needs to end and the newly elected reps need to stop accepting this fact.
I agree, a rep is a rep. I also know that MTG bucked the system and was kicked off of her committees, nearly kicked out of Congress, and then dragged through a lawsuit to prevent her coming BACK to Congress. She’s done a hell of a lot more than just sit quietly in the corner.
Dwayne Diesel: That’s exactly what’s going on with MTG and that’s what has me so annoyed. She’s playing a role that works perfectly well for her opponents. I cannot be a cheerleader for this.
I think we can all agree that MTG is the gold standard for “newly elected / junior reps” to hold their peers feet to the fire…if anyone says she’s not doing enough, they haven’t been paying attention.
Alligator Gar: I’m a barrel of laughs. The job of a congresscrittrer is to hold people accountable, not to complain about not holding people accountable.
Alligator Gar: Getting kicked off committees is exactly what happens to legislators who don’t have the level of inside influence and political savvy to be effective. Getting kicked off a committee guarantees ineffectiveness.
Right on Alligator. Furthermore, don’t drag the only president who gave more of himself to us than any other through the gutter either. It says more about you than him.
Everybody knows…: Kill bad legislation and get good legislation passed. That’s it. Getting lots of air time is not my idea of effective congressional leadership.
Do you want to know who gets things done? The people you never hear about, because they are busy getting things done.
Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who during the Russia, Russia, Russia investigation altered an email from the CIA stating that Carter Page HAD been a CIA asset against the Russians into a statement that he HAD NOT been a CIA asset that was then used to justify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court allowed warrant against him.
His grossly illegal act effectively enabled surveillance of virtually the entire Trump campaign entourage because of the “three-hop” rule allowed for that kind of surveillance. “If the average person called 40 unique people, three-hop analysis would allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans”
Kevin Clinesmith’s punishment for that incredibly severe felony? 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service and he has been reinstated as a member “in good standing” to the District of Columbia Bar Association.
That’s exactly where we are. She’s right. I’m sick of people saying accepting reality is being an Eyore. It’s not! Reality accepted is a prerequisite to taking worthwhile next steps.
That might be considered a positive. I’m thinking we win in 2024 and actually let the blue states secede. People have been moving to the right side of the red/blue line for some time now so maybe we can do a peaceful Czech/Slovakia kind of thing instead of a violent India/Pakistan thing or a repeat of the 1860’s.
We just need a 50/50 split. The fascist communists will self nuclear disarm not too long after, right? I mean, it’s been a key to their radical plank. For as long as I can remember!

One theory about Durham is that he was expecting to lose but needed testimony (like Mook’s) against Hillary. He did not ask the judge to recuse himself considering the insider connection (married to Lisa Page’s lawyer). Durham was not born yesterday if he is a special counsel and one would imagine he has a strategy although I agree with Sundance on the fact that he is limited in who he can indict.
Is this FBI revelation part of his strategy?
There is no grand strategy. This was a show trial for the GOPe to try to placate the base. Nothing is going to happen to anyone important. Durham could have indicted major players years ago and didn’t, and he’s not going to. Ever.

Loved that movie. Another movie that I think every Treeper should see is also from the 80’s. It is called LOOKER, originally written in book form by Michael Crichton. I recently gave the DVD to some friends in their forties who really enjoyed it and said it held up really well. Watch it, and instead of TV’s, think cell phones and how easy it would be to program someone.
On a side note, because I wanted to be exactly correct in the spelling of Crichton, I Googled (my only choice at the office) the movie and it was very difficult to find. Much more difficult than I think it should have been. My suspicious cat is wondering why.
Given the Covid op, I rewound to an old movie Michael directed, Coma, as an early canary to the potential nature of the medical industrial complex.
I was first introduced to his work reading Andromeda Strain, a novel about collecting space ‘stuff’ that went awry, with some inferences to the military industrial complex.
Talking about ‘programming’, try reading his novel ‘Terminal Man’ where the brain was implanted with a device to stimulate the pleasure center similar to an orgasm and how things went sideways.
One of the first authors I started following in the 60’s.
Bill Binney’s movie is great and and easy to watch. He tried to reach out to President Trump and someone sent him to Pompeo who dropped it.

The FBlie was kinda sketchy since its inception, but my real distrust began when the clintoons had over 2000 FBlie files in their possession which were probably used to blackmail repubs and certain dims into submission. They couldnt have gotten those files without the FBlies help. When the repubs did nothing about it, was when I decided to file divorce papers against that party.

When was the FBI computer workstation installed at Perkins Coie? I think I read 2014. Just imagine if it was a big sting. Like the bait cars on the cop shows where they let the criminals steal the car and they drive off being recorded on film and then the cops shut the car down remotely and move in and arrest the bad guys. Imagine that.
Think of it 85% of all the computer queries were deemed illegal. 85% of the time anyone sitting at that computer doing work was engaged in illegal activity. Imagine. Wow what a sting.
Every single queery from that terminal was a felony. Every single one.
The FBI has torn up the social contract and thrown it in our faces, that contract was written in the blood of patriots.
For those who wonder how can so many Americans be fooled? How can so many be misled about Ukraine? How can so many not see?
Well, this little diddy by ABC of all people is how the shepherds herd the sheep. This little diddy gives insight into exactly why FJB stays in his basement, has a faux WH for pressers, and how the puppet masters convinced your neighbors to fly Ukranian flags on U.S. Memorial Day….and in light of the PC/FBI collusion that just was put front and center, it shows what they can do to keep you misinformed. If you’ve seen it…you already know, if not, it’s worth the few minutes (and remember ABC = Disney, which = Pixar-Lucasfilms, two of the most advanced green screen technology film producers out there- and guess who loves them some Uniparty):
And P.S., pay attention to how ABC frames the end starting around 1:25. Listen to the narrative they try to create around this….

Entertaining memes state obvious facts of situations. However sure as a blind man has little or no balance so a secular anti-christian society stumbles around in darkness.
How bizarre the lack of interest in finding understanding, truth and salvation.
The correlation between current events and the scriptures is nothing less than astonishing. The culmination of History on a prophetic scale, the glaring meaning of the fallen state of man and not a sound from the church or a mention of scripture.
I praise Jesus and glory to him and his father for I love the word of God and I work it.

Everyone in that law firm and everyone at the FBI who knew that a Democrat law firm had access to the FBI should be arrested and charged with conspiracy to violate the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
Nobody will be, of course, and they will claim it is no longer active while they move their operations to a new location.

I may be a bit skeptical but when SCOTUS refused to hear Texas vs PA over 2020 election fraud I knew we could no longer count on white hats in government. This will eventually fall to patriots protecting their homes and loved ones. All freedom loving people should be actively banding together for mutual protection on a local basis right now. The evil cabal has no intention of backing down and in fact they can’t. They are all in. They will not lose any more elections or court cases that matter. They are actively planning and implementing their plan to destroy USA. This is where we are folks just as our forefathers were in 1776. We didn’t ask for this but we will have to see this through come hell or high water.

Sundance was spot on.
Durham is and always will Be nothing but a fraud. Legal fixer of the highest order.
Everyone who is tried will be acquitted and very well compensated for their inconvenience. Meaningless really.
You see decent people can not relate to these criminals.
They think at least their careers and reputations will be tainted and they will be for ever embarrassed and ashamed.
Not true at all . They are hero’s. If they had any self respect they wouldn’t have
committed the crime to begin with .
How much compensation does a lowlife need to set himself and extended family up for life? several million and a sure bet stock tip like the ones the Clintons got caught with in Arkansas can amount to more money than we can imagine.
How about getting the contract to sell every obsolete post office in the country like the Pelosi crime family did.
Kind of cheap considering , as Sundance says ,there are trillions at stake.

If you want to become ill look at the FIB website for Jan6 arrests, status. When I look at that compared to the summer of love riots 2020 where virtually no one was charged it makes me angry. The government is nailing Jan6 protestors to the wall, many are going to jail for many years. Pissed off.

A corrupt system is a corrupt system. Anyone who stays in the system is part of the system. There may be the naïve and fooled when first in the system – but once the corruption is known they become complicit if they do not leave/speak out. But ignorance is also not a defense. “Just doing my job” simply doesn’t fly.

Filegate -> during Clinton’s first term the Firstlady held onto a trove of jackets(dossiers) of FBI personnel and refused to return them.
It’s lost.
Witness disappears.
It’s sealed.
It was accidentally erased.
We were conned.
We had no knowledge of that.

Al Qaeda is still very much alive and well & inspiring terrorists worldwide. The Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has put 9/11’s planners back in the terror cockpit. https://t.co/bCKCp6BLUX
That’s funny. It’s like a joke of a joke of a crime in a conspiracy of a crime in a bribe of a crime. They aren’t called FIB for nothing.

Well, I always thought the storm clouds meant we the people were going to call for and achieve a reckoning, but so far, it’s the other way around: the In Groups, the pols and the Bureaucracy are the ones getting the better of us.
Well, I for one admire Putin more and more everyday and pray he stays in good health.
At least he knows how to lead his country and put their needs first.

My mother worked for the USPS (no mean jokes please…). There were two large publishers in town that had postal substations and clerks co-located at each one dedicated solely to the vast amount of mail they sent every day. I’m sure the FBI will try to use some similar defense, but this non-lawyer cannot see any reason at all on the planet for an FBI office co-located in a (partisan, FFS) law firm’s offices.

The still on going persecution of the Jan 6th people and Canadian truckers tells you all you need to know about challenging the globalist masters. Good luck stopping their advancement to their evil ends.
Ironically, Russia may be the only hope to throw a monkey wrench into those plans.

I just spent $162 at the Ace Hardware store that should’ve costed half that. The last trip to the hardware store was about $225. Stuff needs to be fixed. There’s lots of things they don’t have that *normally* a hardware store would never be out of. The worker there said to me, “Looks like you have some work to do!” And my response was, “every single day”.
My two cents: if there’s stuff that needs to be fixed in your home or car, do it now because the prices will soon make it out of reach. Better to spend the dollars now than not ever be able to spend them. The dollar bill is disintegrating.
Filled the tank and it was twice what it was two years ago.
This is all on Washington, D.C. and their sick and corrupt, evil, plans.
I shop an online liquidation company’s site. They go into one’s home, photograph and catalog and price one’s belongings, then offer them for sale online on a given day. Sometimes you can preview.
One can acquire a person’s collection of tools, fasteners, household goods, furniture for pennies on the dollar.
I pray and ask the Lord Yeshua what I should buy. So far, I will be the fastener person for my neighbors.

What happened to the real special counsel…the one that Sundance met with in DC? William Addelmann.? ??….
…..someone help with his last name. Remember him? The “how did you find me” guy.
He’s the guy along with another Durham prosecutor who sued the gun manufacturer in the Sandy Hook school shooting. What did you expect!

It’s never been more evident that the Mueller investigation was wasted on the wrong collusion. All by design with wanton intent with total disregard for the law.

This one is for Sundance: Brian Cates is praising your investigative ability; he usually criticizes or disagrees with you but this time he is praising you.
Geez, I feel old.
How old am I?
I grew up in DC and it was an honor to be in the FBI.
And then they discovered moral values were an impediment to desired outcomes. Now desired outcomes win out over how you achieve the desired result.
Enacted Equity.
It’s too bad you aren’t there now to mentor the newer agents.
I wish it were only a mentoring issue. It’s the plan. Evil in the hearts of man
Then since we have little ability to stop evil in human hearts its time to return to the original “plans” of the Founders as inspired by the Almighty and LIMIT power/authority in these unelected and unaccountable agencies.
who will do that? Jan 6
The One that did it in the first place. How quickly we forget.
THIS /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The corruption of the FBI is not a new phenomeon limited to the “newer” agents……….the filth has been going on for decades………
The field offices are likely more corrupt than the DC headquarters……………
Again, when the gubbermint fears the people….
The ONLY way to keep these jack azzes in check. Until we return to that, we are at their mercy and getting closer to north korea
And the time is getting closer and closer to citizens taking justice into our own hands since there is none in the DOJ/FBI. The government no longer represents We the People so it’s needed why??
Until a Sri Lanka type event takes place, TPTB will continue to do as they please.
Clean out the 7th floor. Then follow with 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1……
I’m sure there are plenty of unknown (to us) rat holes and undiscovered sewers in which they can set up shop.
Parking Garages is where they will go. There are parking garages in every single block in DC. Some blocks have two or three with a camera at the entrance and exit even if they are next to each other. There are extra cameras on every lamp post, 4 cameras at each intersection too.
Defund the entire organization. Raise the buildings, and salt the earth where they stood. Let it stand as a reminder for the next 200 years what happens when the government goes against it’s own people.
Corruption at the FBI goes all the way back to J. Edgar. Boy Howdy!
Yes, it’s just the FBI continuing the deep state insurance of J Edgar.
That also likely explains Epstein’s commission; just deep state insurance.
You should feel more than “old”…………..I wasn’t in the FBI and I am outraged, sickened, ashamed, and spitting mad.
Apparently you’re not familiar with J.Edgar and how he had control over DC politicians…
…in his dress…
Yep. He warned Kennedy he would show all his affairs.
I read somewhere years ago that J.Edgar told Bobby K. that he had pictures of him (Bobby) out in the desert having a threesome with two women. Bobby’s reported reply “I couldn’t care less”.
The FBI hasn’t changed since J. Edger put on his first bustier.
Well, they stopped chasing communists and terrorists and started assisting them.
Lazer, your comment is very on point.
Assuming anything you claim is true, you have everything going against you to reclaim credibility now.
He never said HE was in the FBI. He said it was an honor back then.
“Better to be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”
I’m no fool. That’s the way it reads, and it appears that subsequent posters took it that way. More than enough time to clear up the misconception, if the OP wanted to.
Not familiar with you, “john” but there are posting guidelines going back years regarding writing to understand and be understood. It’s more difficult in the short format of written replies, but always worth keeping in mind.
I didn’t take it to mean “he was IN the FBI”…but I had to mull it over a smidgen.
(I suppose being first to jump in with a comment accounts for something?)
Remember Efrem Zimbalist, Jr? That’s the sort of FBI I thought at one time we had. Now I’m not so sure it was ever like that.
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. was an acquaintance of mine as we both lived in the same small valley. He was a devout Christian and a very good man. I had an opportunity to interview him for the local newspaper. Back then there were still some decent agents and Efrem was friends with many of them.
I love hearing that about public figures that I couldn’t help but like.
Hence my screen name.
Also Stephanie, his daughter, starred in 80’s detective show, Remington STEELE.
About a fake detective.
Lots of coincidental connections.
She was a lovely actress. Why does it always come back to Hollywood and acting? (Rhetorical.)
Ahhhh!! I’d forgotten about her! Thanks for reminding me..
How wonderful! His father was a superb violinist, but this you know. I am glad to know this about him. Thank you. I bet doing that interview was a highlight of your journalistic career…signed, the other Mrs Jones.
Back then they infiltrated the Weather Underground and exposed them as terrorists.
Now they take a knee to groups with the same mindset.
Now they are the Weather Underground.
Now the recruit to commit crimes and act like they solve them. I would never talk or cooperate with federalist jerks!!! They hate and I pray for them.
Power corrupts. Period.
Checks and balances are not possible when all the institutions are corrupt.
It does. When such people are in charge…entrenched even…we can expect nothing else. The rot goes right through the (not our) core of government.
Think of necrotizing fasciitis, a hideous disease which starts small, then quickly eats its way through the body. If there’s any chance to halt it, often affected limbs need to be removed. That’s the United States government…full stop. The disease has progressed too far to save the body of our nearly deceased Republic.
As for any solution or cure? I’ve got nothing.
It all begins with the individuals. Corrupt individuals build corrupt institutions.
Until their direct and personal pain is greater than their perceived reward, nothing will change.
If the system won’t do it then it up to individuals, one way or another.
1963 Egar Hooper was all in on killing Kennedy. So you must be very olde:-))))
Yeah the FBLIE is not what it once was. Really sad.
99.9% are great and true blue!
Sean Hanity
I was a county sheriff once upon a time. The FBI field agents I had dealings with were top notch professionals. The US Marshals ROCKED!
Thank you!
I thought I was no longer surprised by this blatant corruption, but this really takes the cake. When I heard this on Tucker Carlson last night, I patiently waited for Sunday’s response.
“Hey, who do we have over at the Bureau (FBI) that can help us with this issue?”
That is what this is all about, “who do you know?” Friends of friends helping friends get where they want to go.
Question of the day: Who is John Durham friends with and what do they do? Any recent law school grad would look at the jury selected and know it was slanted toward the defense from the very get go…why didn’t Durham’s team know and sense as much?
Answer that question and you have solved a simple mystery of how they lost their case, if in fact they lost it or were pretending to play the game much like the Washington Generals playing the Harlem Globetrotters in basketball.
Break out the lollipops, there are enough suckers for everybody!
But what if Sussman was found not guilty as a means of getting evidence on the record? How about there are more people involved ( most of DC) but in order to get the bigger fish, you have to let the minnow go?
Just look at all the information that Sussman trial brought forth.
Ahhh, yes that IS the Question: “But, what if…….”
For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, “It might have been,” John Greenleaf Whittier.
What If’s are only good for horse shoes and hand grenades. What is…….is.
What will they do with it, now that they have that info?
Two quotes come to mind:
1.) What difference at this point does it make
2.) She did not intend to…
I rest my case/s
That 210 lb slab of infested meat is overdue for exiting this planet. Due age and corruption.
A downside into a 500 degreesF ‘new’ home that has no air conditioning. Can’t wait.
Didn’t that excuse get used on the democRat senate Intel committee staffer?
Sketchy, I would like to believe you are right. But all I can think of is
“There must be a pony in here somewhere.”
.
You need to shake that hopium monkey off your back.
The same evidence would be on the record if he were found guilty also-
Perzactly!
Then blame the jury, not Durham.
i know in local trials that if it is not possible to seat a fair jury then a change of venue is requested. Is that not an option at the federal level?
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
Evidence revealed to what end? Is anything EVER going to be done with said evidence to ultimately hold the government criminals accountable? I believe the answer is no.
All the “evidence on the record” would have still been on the record had Sussman been found guilty. A guilty verdict would have also opened the door to further prosecutions of those people revealed in the evidence as having participated in Sussman’s crimes.
Believing that Durham’s strategy was always to simply reveal evidence as a useful end objective, while not obtaining a guilty verdict is the culmination of hopium intoxication.
Durham’s job was to protect the government institutions (FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc.) while giving the illusion of seeking truth. He was successful.
From a “builder’s perspective — when you acquire a property with a derelict structure (with the intent to build new on existing lot/foundation), first you must have the vision to rebuild and SECOND: you have to declare the existing structure “condemned” and then knock it down.
We have said declaration in hand and shall make it public, and roll the wrecking ball and bulldozer and dump trucks.
No hopium involved: recon, surveillance and reporting. If however it isn’t taking place (condemnation/demo/hauling off), report that as well.
We have many more options still available: they may not be purely admin/paperwork/argument meaning some parts may be hands on physical (as arrests ALWAYS are) and may be under the legal authority of military law since civil structures are in full collapse (obviously so as Durham just showed).
And if that isn’t happening: you can read para 2 to Dec of Ind for indicators to where this is headed.
Same as Barr. None of them are trustworthy.
To what end? In one sense it puts into the record as a legal precedent that those actions Sussman was found innocent on are therefore legal going forward, and one thing these justices love is following precedent. It’s a backdoor way or re-writing the law via lawfare.
I have no argument with your theory, Bessie. I was addressing the hope that there was a planned positive end (for the victims of the governments’ criminality) to the trial despite the expected ridiculous verdict.
Yes, it bolsters the criminals’ confidence of their ability to continue to break laws with impunity going forward. Good observation.
Hate to say it, but you’re dreaming.
HOPIUM! Keep smokin’ it.
Dispair! Keep wallowin’ in it.
Reality. HC crimes have been going on for decades. She’s untouchable.
LOL
He wasn’t found not guilty by reason of evidence. The Jury stated they didn’t think lying to the FBI was a crime worth punishing.
Unless it was , let’s say, Michael Flynn case on trial. Then lying to the FBI would be a serious crime and they’d throw the book at hm in 1 second because “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!!”
So if the FBI comes to my door, I can lie my head off with no consequences? Sounds good.
If they came to my door, I would not open it unless my lawyer was standing next to me!
I have heard that you never invite FBI in your home if they show up at your door and you don’t walk outside to talk with them. You tell them they can come back when you have a lawyer present. I seriously doubt they honour those rules anymore.
Sure you can. For example, you can say your shirt is red when it is white and you will not be charged with lying to the FBI even though the FBI may have sworn you in and even though technically you spoke an untruth.
Durham bringing this case against Sussman was unimpressive and I think immature. Making a federal case out of Sussman’s misrepresentation of himself to his friend Jim Baker when both Sussman and Baker knew the deal was focusing on minutiae.
The jury did not say that; one juror, the forewoman, said that.

I did not see your comment as I was replying to one made earlier to Daniel at the link above. You may find it informative.
🙂
To any who may not have known & not just Daniel…
Basically , “Jury Nullification” is what happened. No matter who on the jury voted or even if one or all voted.
Believing that a law is not legal, inappropriate, or nonsense, etc., and thus voting, “not guilty”, on the charge(s)thinking that the regardless of whether or not the defendant(s) are guilty, but that the jurors vote(s) is a vote against the law that the defendant is being charged with.
( in this case, the charge of “Lying to the FBI”.).
Won’t hear much about it from any lawyers or judges, particularly in a courtroom, but it is there as a legal principle in courts of every level ( when they are true legal functions).
Mention or ask about it when selected for a jury pool & you will likely not be selected.
( Unless there is some sort of circumstance I am not aware of right now.)
Placing just one member of a jury on a jury that believes in “jury nullification”, can result in what we saw with Sussman, or even a hung jury.
Prosecutors & Judges don’t like going thru the motions of a trial if someone or some on a jury know that they can simply hold out, or convince all of the jurors about jury nullification and cause the case to be either dismissed for a hung jury, or like this example with Sussman. just let the person go free with no punishment.
I am not an attorney/lawyer, but the above is how I understand things to be in our legal system here in the USA.
P.S. – I would have no qualms about nullifying a jury should I be on a jury & I believe the law is not worth being a law, or is un-constitutional. Think as an example, on a trial where it involves the 2A.
Any law that goes against, “Shall NOT be Infringed”, will get a jury nullification from me were I to be on a jury with any charge based on going against the US Constitution , and any of the Bill of Rights.
Etc.
I was taught that being a juror is a civic duty. I was also taught about jury nullification should I ever “be” on a jury. I reckon they don’t teach such things in Social Studies, but they did in CIVICS class long ago. Pity Civics is still not taught as it should be.
GOD Bless ya’ll & GOD Bless the USA~!
Semper Fi~!
😉
P.P.S. – If anyone finds what I just posted in error, I would appreciate being corrected if so. I think I am correct though, but am open to someones correction if necessary to make sure that the info/knowledge is correctly shared with others here. 🙂
I’ll ask a friend of mine who has some friends he says are close to those on Durham’s team. Only this request won’t be formal, it will be asked on the “back channels” most likely via a Country Club event or something like that.
PS. Let’s keep this between ourselves, ok?
Has there ever been a silver lining when injustice is served? If having a smoking gun is no longer enough to convict then there is no way to sugar coat the verdict. When the system is rigged there’s no hope. At this point Killary could come out and admit to it all and it would not change her zip code. 🙄If it’s not the judge, it’s a juror, if it’s not a juror it’s a lawyer, if it’s not the lawyer it’s the DA, if it’s not the DA it’s the DOJ, if it’s not the DOJ, it’s loopholes in the law. At some level the system is corrupted or rigged.
Bet me Hillary will in fact come out and be all smiling plus degrading towards her husband’s stand in–Donald Trump.
Only a wooden stake plunged into her heart (not sure there is one…) could ever stop this snake!
I think a visit to her final resting place with a full bladder is about all the satisfaction any of will ever achieve. It’s in my plans.
Also, a trip to DC for Joe’s “lying In State”. I’m sure my Marine Drill Instructor voice will sound pretty well in the Rotunda. I’ll be bringing lots of bail money…but I plan to make my point.
That’s so cute!
Nonsense!
I agree. But MOST here WILL NOT.Just go back to yesterday article.
Or,the replies today. LOL
The information brought forth gives solace to the deluded hopium addicts.
And then when there is no justice brought, they join the rest of us, sickened by it all and beaten down and in despair.
Brilliant psy-ops. Brought to you by the idiots that overturned Guatemala in 1954 and then thought they can do the same to any country they want. Including their own.
An Agency of putzes and yutzes who started off as the unofficial buddies with the Nazis, and which has succeeded in shearing any morality from the country like a shepherd denuding sheep.
Ok. Keep hoping.
Durham is a fool. Probing through a lawless metropolis and dotting all the I’s and crossing all the t’s while building a case against a jaywalker.
Trust the Plan!!!!!
I agree Sketchy. We only have the history of these agencies to go by and the history has not been great for law and order. There are indeed 2 sets of rules…if you are in the UniParty, anything goes.
Let’s not forget about the Strok/Page texts discussing a friendly judge to push the FISA and Russia Hoax narrative.
Not many here had illusions of Durham actually achieving much. We have had even more exposure of how corrupt the Swamp is.
I wonder how many Americans are okay with Perkins Coie being an FBI hub since 2012?
how many know and those that do, even blink?
Lots of friendly judges –
Yup. Many are in on it.
Great rewards abound, for betraying one’s oath, and one’s soul, and one’s fellow man.
And then, at the last breath, comes their own Judgment.
Then, those rewards are just so much nothingness.
We can hope.
We can pray.
Same applies to SCOTUS judges just on a grander scale
This is how you become “made” in The Swamp.
It won’t be surprising to see this judge’s name show up on a list of judges FJB decides to pack the Supreme Court with. Payback is the new 10% from the big guy.
The 81 million that voted for Biden are cool with it.
What’s that quote Obama used (I think he got from his [step]father): “People will accept communism as long as they feel they’re getting a big enough piece of the action.” Or something to that effect.
Both of them?
I wonder how many people know who/what Perkins Coie is and even if they do know, want to be bothered with it…I’m out there fighting every day, but man it’s a battle.
I’d say 80% of Americans likely are, and would/will righteously parrot any bs line NBC comes up with as justification as to why it is totally ok and this is a MAGA King conspiracy theory.
Yes their buddy Conteras they were going to “see” at a cocktail party…
Also let’s not forget per the IG report of sports tix, dinner’s, entertainment (probably male) paid for by the Fib to the media…to curry favorable press and opinions against our Lion…
Durham knew he was going to lose the case. However, Durham got what he wanted which was exposure and evidence under sworn testimony. Sussman was the little fish used as bait to get to the bigger fish.
You must be smoking the same stuff as Sketchy.
Lol….lol….lol….lol…
Laugh all you want chief… but given the Dim venue of DC…everyone (except you) knew the deck was stacked against getting a fair trial where 98% are gibmit employees and Dims.
It exposed and confirmed the HRC/Perkins conspiracy against our Lion and deplorables…perhaps it can be extrapolated outward…
AFter what we learned from Jordan and Tucker, it appears Mr. Sussman is not such a little fish.
And what will be done with that “exposure and evidence under sworn testimony”? Seriously? What “bigger fish” will be hooked only to get a “DC Jury” and “DC Verdict”?
Is, “A change of venue” a new term?
I saw a headline yesterday “Who will Durham Tackle Next?” And I thought, given this clearly mob run courtroom pantomime, who knows and who cares? So corrupt that even the pretense of conducting an honest, uncorrupted, blind justice trial is passe.
We certainly are giving the banana republics we all sneered at a run for their money. Just as well Lee Greenwood, fair weather patriot, won’t be performing his song soon.
I’m feeling everything but proud.
The trial was done by the books!
And the Dems are crying about our Democracy!?
Hell, I’m crying about our Constitutional Republic!!!
Where’s the Representation?
As we watch the NY AG, throw the laws and constitution out the window, as she goes after the entire Trump Family and the Trump Organization, without batting an eye based on lies and innuendo!!
When does this end?
When we end it. Bolshevik democRats and Quisling rinos are the Uniparty Majority in Con gress Welcome to the USSA,
When we end it….
Yesterday was not soon enough.
Absolutely M-C…
WE will never be asleep again!!!
start looking for that pit bull we need in 24 for att general
Kris Kobach? I think he would have been a good endorsement for Trump during Kansas AG run and wish he were in Trumps cabinet. Yet men like Kobach never gain power because they are not corrupt. Trump loves people who are “tough on the border and tough on crime”
Not later than 2022. 2024 too late. That’s why the rushing of America’s destruction and The Plan.
Just ask ‘The Kenyan’. As he said, “He is the One”.
I believe most people know where this ends. It will be very ugly– for them. Every civilization from the beginning of time has had periods where the rulers abused their power and abused the people. When the people rose up, the rulers were torn limb from limb. For purportedly educated people, our rulers sure are stupid m@therf@ckers.
Or sometimes it’s the killing fields of Cambodia.
At this point, it’s all a matter of timing as to which way it goes.
If we wait too long, the killing fields may be the outcome.
Or more likely, some version of 1984.
Did the people ever rise up in revolt against the brutal Roman government?
“When does this end?”
“The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers;”
Sundance
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sometime after this happens.
Thanks for sharing Sundance’s quote.
This one a lesson my dad taught me early on.
You completely obliterate your opposition when engaged in battle. Period.
That is exactly the approach the left tried to use on Trump:
“His kind must never rise again”
The left ain’t playing for points.
The republicans (those in office, not folks all across the country) don’t even fight back. Trump gave them a spine transplant and they STILL don’t even fight back.
MITCH, MITCH, MITCH. Considering his corruption and age, his days are numbered.
Mitch, you can’t take it with you.
Yep. Common sense. Cobra Kai had it right.
NOTHING but the smoke of battle.
That’s exactly what the Lord commanded Isaac to do when Israel’s armies were clearing out the pagan idolaters from the Promised Land. God told Isaac to annihilate them all – including women, children, slaves, and animals. No survivors. But the Israelites failed to do that in all cases and it ultimately cost them their nation.
if we don’t completely clean out the corrupt politicians and their helpers, they will rise again.
I concur Chuck.
Democrats cry about their democracy.
Democracy = mob rule = fascism.
Any threat to their power structure – like deplorably ultra-MAGA voters – is a threat to their democracy.
I believe the DemonRats believe in ochlocracy. Mob rule.
Exactly why we were given a Constitutional Republic.
AND exactly why the American Revolution was “special.”
The french revolution — which the commie left compares to the American Revolution is a complete LIE. The french revolution was a vindictive blood bath for decades, and can only be compared to the Russian, Chinese, Cuba, and EVERY “communist” country. All of them are “democracies” (mob rule). Followed by a tiny ruling class and serfs.
Sound familiar?
I hear you, Abigail.
The laments about “our democracy”, when the rug is being pulled out from under our constitutional republic,
has been hard to stomach.
I even understand the lies when the swamp creatures say it.
Those people are paid very well to say it
But when Joe six pack cries about “our democracy”, it really hits me in the heart.
How can the average Joe or Jill have this whole idea of what is happening bass ackwards?
(rhetorical question, don’t answer)
abigail,
I pray for America and the innocents around the world. If America fails to exist as a Constitutional Republic — the world is dead.
That’s awesome. So many things about that movie have relevance in today’s messed up world. Ray Nelson was a visionary. Still around at 90 years old.
Especially the economic collapse portrayed in the movie which I likened to NAFTA & the WTO and the CFR’s treason of shipping all of our jobs and tech to China under their CFR criminal/traitor puppet Clinton
…
Fired off this email to Mitch.
“You going to look into this connection between PerkinsCoie and the FBI ? Or will it expose things you are involved in ?
Remember sir to cover your ass and line your pockets, but you already know that.
Have a good day and say hey to all the other thieves up there in DC for me.”
Nice, but, he won’t even see it and if by some chance he does see it, he will snicker and you might get a nice form letter back thanking you for your
support and interest in your government.
That’s the way they roll.
I know he won’t see it. But they do have someone looking at them.
Plus I like to get another checkmark by my name once a week.
Put all my check marks together on one page and it will look like one of those blacked out UFO documents.
The only reason to be on twitter is so that you can reply to one of his tweets with that.
That is a great reason.
Maybe he gets an uninvited dinner guest one evening.
Or a “friendly” visit from the FIB.
Truth.
Been there, got that.
Better to just write “Retire, asshole”
When you call Congress, in essence you are alerting informing the aides who will than hopefully discuss inform other aides and so on and so forth. I call with the express purpose of showing the aides the truth like leading them to the Barnabas Fund website which had first hand evidence that the Syrian “rebels” were in fact CIA/Saudi backed terrorists called “ISIS” & “Al-Cia-Duh” who we were told did 9/11. Considering secular Syria was not taken out by the Swamp traitors, my mission was successful, though I’m sure there were loads of other Americans doing similar things.
Are you not entertained..
Breads and circuses Baby!
…I must’ve watched too much film noir in my time…all I can really think to say to EVERY SINGLE post on CT is: “Rat Bastards!”
Durham: Outstanding in his field? 🙂
Nice one!
And with his arms pointing in two different directions, one might assume that at least one is a straw man argument/case.
“If I only had a brain!”
Said the scarecrow. Wizard of Oz.
It was all a “show.” Put on by the “Wizard.” Who originally sold “snake oil” in Kansas.
The bureaucrats run the government. They are all leftists based on their education and lack of experience in everything. The monkeys pulling the strings of Joe are like monkeys trying to F*&k a football. Our government doesn’t work because of who is working in our government. Entitled little Pr!$ks newly minted from the university system of useless and meaningless knowledge. When we change political sides in November we should remember to sweep some of the trash out.
The fact that Brown University had corrupt evil Nancy Pelosi as their commencement speaker speaks loudly to the planned indoctrination of today’s youth. Cheers to the Harvard Grad who had the guts and the brains to walk out on Merrick Garland’s indoctrination speech.
Parents who care about America should refuse to spend a dime on any university that hires swamp creatures for graduation indoctrination speeches.
Except Jacinda Ahern gave this years speech at Harvard
My sister’s commencement 43 years ago [at Oberlin] had George McGovern as the speaker. He told the graduating class that he was sorry that our [then] newly inaugerated President [Reagan]was going to kill them all by getting us into a nuclear war!
This has been going on for generations.
When sundance says;
“Joe Biden is not running this economy. Joe Biden’s economic advisors are not running this economy. Joe Biden’s cabinet members are not running the economy. The people running this economy are the climate change activists behind the scenes who have been elevated into positions in all economic cabinet offices throughout the administration. This was the deal in 2020 that led to Biden’s installation.”
BELIEVE it.
Republicans Are NOT promising to fix the climate and take away your guns.
We will win in November because we are not the DEMOCRATS.!
What I cannot fathom, is why do we not hear of people screaming hysterically about these costs that are decimating family budgets? Livelihoods?
Surely there is outrage? MSM suppression?
The high costs affect all average citizens of each party.
I am human and sometmes judge a book by its cover…although I know a talented artist creates a desire to ‘buy the book’. The Thief in Chief’s beedy eyes, bother me as do many of his facial expressions. Oh well, 81 million “disagee” with me I guess/s
PS–Who really cares about Johnny Depp and Amber? Not I.
P.S. You know the jurors in the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard defamation trial decided that you cannot believe all women. They found Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp, and acted with malice. The jury said Amber Heard had to pay Johnny Depp a total of $15 million dollars. Mr. Depp said he got his life back after six long years.
Maybe, just maybe these are small steps in the right direction, for others who have been maliciously defamed.
Who really cares about Johnny Depp and Amber?
………..OH, LOOK!…A SQUIRREL!………
Those two are just a diversion.
There are more of us than them…the medja wants to portray them as the majority…
This is why the Framers never envisioned large government and people who “served” a lifetime.
They evidently thought we the voters would never let them serve so long.
The longer people are in government in office, the more they view that office as “theirs.”
Further, the people in the desk jobs that don’t make great money still have nice retirement benefits and security in their jobs
I really think it’s time we broke up the federal government, send all the agencies to different towns and cities AND further, in huge departments, like Justice and State, the departments within should be sent to small towns.
Lawyers are the great corruptors of this country.
The reason the Ivy schools are so liberal is because many of those grads have been licking butt for years to get to those schools and are still licking to get taken by DC or NYC firms.
Last night I shared this link; https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/05/31/nec-director-brian-deese-defends-policy-as-u-s-economy-transitions-away-from-oil-and-gas-to-windmills-and-solar-power/
with close friends and family who have worked in politics and government over several decades.
One of my closest friends replied with the following:
“Good to hear from you.
No Comment. At my age do not wish to clutter my mind!! No longer interested in politics. They are all crooked!!”
And there you have it from one who worked 45 years in dirty NYS politics campaigning and all that jazz.
Just like that!
The worst kind of people. I got mine and don’t give a damn about the rest of you folks.
Not just that Alli, what about HER children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren????
Politics affects everyone, every day of their life…
This person used to understand that and preached that!!!?????
Astounding.
Winston: It’s MTG’s job to hold people accountable. If she cannot achieve accountability, she should step aside.
Like Trump?
Bonnie…: If that’s what you’d like me to say, yes, like Trump.
How, may I ask, does a legislator in the minority, “hold people accountable” other than to call them out? She isn’t law enforcement or a prosecutor.
JOhn17milw: An effective legislator figures it out and gets it done. That’s how.
Riiight.
The one with all the answers should go to DC and make it happen.
LOL. You are funny. She was kicked off her committee assignments out of the gate. She is a junior representative on the minority team. How, exactly, can she hold people accountable?
Don’t drag one of the only reps up there actually representing us.
Gator, that’s part of the problem:
Newly elected Reps and Senators are told they are too junior and have no standing because….they junior. That’s the problem.
I don’t care if they are newly elected or like Graham and Pelosi and have bought decades of time in Congress, they are an elected member and they still were elected to represent the people. This “hierarchy” is complete BS and is an outright attack on the people the “junior” Congressman represents.
This needs to end and the newly elected reps need to stop accepting this fact.
I agree, a rep is a rep. I also know that MTG bucked the system and was kicked off of her committees, nearly kicked out of Congress, and then dragged through a lawsuit to prevent her coming BACK to Congress. She’s done a hell of a lot more than just sit quietly in the corner.
I agree. My comment is not directed at her but rather at how the swamp creatures have set up this hierarchy to benefit them.
Dwayne Diesel: That’s exactly what’s going on with MTG and that’s what has me so annoyed. She’s playing a role that works perfectly well for her opponents. I cannot be a cheerleader for this.
I think we can all agree that MTG is the gold standard for “newly elected / junior reps” to hold their peers feet to the fire…if anyone says she’s not doing enough, they haven’t been paying attention.
Alligator Gar: I’m a barrel of laughs. The job of a congresscrittrer is to hold people accountable, not to complain about not holding people accountable.
No. Their job is to represent the will of the people of their district. Period. She is above and beyond.
Well said!
No it’s not. They make laws.
Alligator Gar: Getting kicked off committees is exactly what happens to legislators who don’t have the level of inside influence and political savvy to be effective. Getting kicked off a committee guarantees ineffectiveness.
Right on Alligator. Furthermore, don’t drag the only president who gave more of himself to us than any other through the gutter either. It says more about you than him.
As a new member of the current minority Party in the House of Representatives;
what exactly do you expect her to do?
Everybody knows…: Kill bad legislation and get good legislation passed. That’s it. Getting lots of air time is not my idea of effective congressional leadership.
Do you want to know who gets things done? The people you never hear about, because they are busy getting things done.
OMGosh. Ppppfffftttt. LOFL.
Remember, the republicans froze her out, kicked her off of committees, and ain’t happy she won again.
Pick, pick, pick at people who even try to right the wrongs will defeat us all.
Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who during the Russia, Russia, Russia investigation altered an email from the CIA stating that Carter Page HAD been a CIA asset against the Russians into a statement that he HAD NOT been a CIA asset that was then used to justify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court allowed warrant against him.
His grossly illegal act effectively enabled surveillance of virtually the entire Trump campaign entourage because of the “three-hop” rule allowed for that kind of surveillance. “If the average person called 40 unique people, three-hop analysis would allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans”
Kevin Clinesmith’s punishment for that incredibly severe felony? 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service and he has been reinstated as a member “in good standing” to the District of Columbia Bar Association.
So, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is my kind of gal…
“When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you – you know your nation is doomed.” – Ayn Rand
That’s exactly where we are. She’s right. I’m sick of people saying accepting reality is being an Eyore. It’s not! Reality accepted is a prerequisite to taking worthwhile next steps.
LOL! What part of “doomed” didn’t you get?
Her husband is a lucky man.
Does “alter” a document mean the same as FORGE a document?
Does one carry a more severe penalty then the other?
Took one for the team…I’m sure he has been compensated well…
Disband the fbi
Good stuff!!
The MSM takes its victory lap:
The Humiliation of John Durham
https://www.thebulwark.com/the-humiliation-of-trump-backed-prosecutor-john-durham/
While still insisting Russia had something to do with the election at the end. SMH. There truly is no longer any middle ground.
“There truly is no longer any middle ground.”
That might be considered a positive. I’m thinking we win in 2024 and actually let the blue states secede. People have been moving to the right side of the red/blue line for some time now so maybe we can do a peaceful Czech/Slovakia kind of thing instead of a violent India/Pakistan thing or a repeat of the 1860’s.
As long as we get to keep all the nukes…
We just need a 50/50 split. The fascist communists will self nuclear disarm not too long after, right? I mean, it’s been a key to their radical plank. For as long as I can remember!
One theory about Durham is that he was expecting to lose but needed testimony (like Mook’s) against Hillary. He did not ask the judge to recuse himself considering the insider connection (married to Lisa Page’s lawyer). Durham was not born yesterday if he is a special counsel and one would imagine he has a strategy although I agree with Sundance on the fact that he is limited in who he can indict.
Is this FBI revelation part of his strategy?
Devolution?
Durham is like a dog that barks occasionally but in reality cannot tree a fox or a possum or a Sussmann.
“That dog don’t hunt!”
I think that is what is called HOPIUM.
“Is the fbi revelation…”Without a doubt.
There is no grand strategy. This was a show trial for the GOPe to try to placate the base. Nothing is going to happen to anyone important. Durham could have indicted major players years ago and didn’t, and he’s not going to. Ever.
Loved that movie. Another movie that I think every Treeper should see is also from the 80’s. It is called LOOKER, originally written in book form by Michael Crichton. I recently gave the DVD to some friends in their forties who really enjoyed it and said it held up really well. Watch it, and instead of TV’s, think cell phones and how easy it would be to program someone.
On a side note, because I wanted to be exactly correct in the spelling of Crichton, I Googled (my only choice at the office) the movie and it was very difficult to find. Much more difficult than I think it should have been. My suspicious cat is wondering why.
Enemy of the State is a must watch
Check out:
The Man Who Brought Down The President.
About Mark Felts, aka Deepthroat.
Talk about a bunch of crooked FBI agents.
I NEVER want to hear about Watergate ever again!
Given the Covid op, I rewound to an old movie Michael directed, Coma, as an early canary to the potential nature of the medical industrial complex.
I was first introduced to his work reading Andromeda Strain, a novel about collecting space ‘stuff’ that went awry, with some inferences to the military industrial complex.
Talking about ‘programming’, try reading his novel ‘Terminal Man’ where the brain was implanted with a device to stimulate the pleasure center similar to an orgasm and how things went sideways.
One of the first authors I started following in the 60’s.
I remember that movie as well. Tom Selleck had a minor role.
I’ve added Looker to my movie list..
Searching for it on Tubi, I found a documentary called A Good American…Bill Binney… think I’ll give it a watch.
Also saw a doc called Citizenfour, about Snowden and now it’s on my list.
So thanks Treeps, for all suggestions about everything.
Bill Binney’s movie is great and and easy to watch. He tried to reach out to President Trump and someone sent him to Pompeo who dropped it.
The FBlie was kinda sketchy since its inception, but my real distrust began when the clintoons had over 2000 FBlie files in their possession which were probably used to blackmail repubs and certain dims into submission. They couldnt have gotten those files without the FBlies help. When the repubs did nothing about it, was when I decided to file divorce papers against that party.
That is my Show “They Live” Sundance!
Awesome movie, one of the best fight scenes ever. “I came here to chew Bubble Gum and Kick Ass, And I’m all out of Bubblegum”

PiperTaxpayerWhen was the FBI computer workstation installed at Perkins Coie? I think I read 2014. Just imagine if it was a big sting. Like the bait cars on the cop shows where they let the criminals steal the car and they drive off being recorded on film and then the cops shut the car down remotely and move in and arrest the bad guys. Imagine that.
Think of it 85% of all the computer queries were deemed illegal. 85% of the time anyone sitting at that computer doing work was engaged in illegal activity. Imagine. Wow what a sting.
Every single queery from that terminal was a felony. Every single one.
The FBI has torn up the social contract and thrown it in our faces, that contract was written in the blood of patriots.
Fred, From your lips to God’s ears!
Is it still a sting if it goes on for a decade?
Washington DC (DEVIL’S CITY) USA
For those who wonder how can so many Americans be fooled? How can so many be misled about Ukraine? How can so many not see?
Well, this little diddy by ABC of all people is how the shepherds herd the sheep. This little diddy gives insight into exactly why FJB stays in his basement, has a faux WH for pressers, and how the puppet masters convinced your neighbors to fly Ukranian flags on U.S. Memorial Day….and in light of the PC/FBI collusion that just was put front and center, it shows what they can do to keep you misinformed. If you’ve seen it…you already know, if not, it’s worth the few minutes (and remember ABC = Disney, which = Pixar-Lucasfilms, two of the most advanced green screen technology film producers out there- and guess who loves them some Uniparty):
And P.S., pay attention to how ABC frames the end starting around 1:25. Listen to the narrative they try to create around this….
Entertaining memes state obvious facts of situations. However sure as a blind man has little or no balance so a secular anti-christian society stumbles around in darkness.
How bizarre the lack of interest in finding understanding, truth and salvation.
The correlation between current events and the scriptures is nothing less than astonishing. The culmination of History on a prophetic scale, the glaring meaning of the fallen state of man and not a sound from the church or a mention of scripture.
I praise Jesus and glory to him and his father for I love the word of God and I work it.
Brilliant. +10
Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Hell yea!!
Everyone in that law firm and everyone at the FBI who knew that a Democrat law firm had access to the FBI should be arrested and charged with conspiracy to violate the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
Nobody will be, of course, and they will claim it is no longer active while they move their operations to a new location.
Christopher Wray will create a powerpoint training class so that this never happens again.
I agree 100%
Just for the record: I’m NOT all out of bubble gum……
I may be a bit skeptical but when SCOTUS refused to hear Texas vs PA over 2020 election fraud I knew we could no longer count on white hats in government. This will eventually fall to patriots protecting their homes and loved ones. All freedom loving people should be actively banding together for mutual protection on a local basis right now. The evil cabal has no intention of backing down and in fact they can’t. They are all in. They will not lose any more elections or court cases that matter. They are actively planning and implementing their plan to destroy USA. This is where we are folks just as our forefathers were in 1776. We didn’t ask for this but we will have to see this through come hell or high water.
Sundance was spot on.
Durham is and always will Be nothing but a fraud. Legal fixer of the highest order.
Everyone who is tried will be acquitted and very well compensated for their inconvenience. Meaningless really.
You see decent people can not relate to these criminals.
They think at least their careers and reputations will be tainted and they will be for ever embarrassed and ashamed.
Not true at all . They are hero’s. If they had any self respect they wouldn’t have
committed the crime to begin with .
How much compensation does a lowlife need to set himself and extended family up for life? several million and a sure bet stock tip like the ones the Clintons got caught with in Arkansas can amount to more money than we can imagine.
How about getting the contract to sell every obsolete post office in the country like the Pelosi crime family did.
Kind of cheap considering , as Sundance says ,there are trillions at stake.
If you want to become ill look at the FIB website for Jan6 arrests, status. When I look at that compared to the summer of love riots 2020 where virtually no one was charged it makes me angry. The government is nailing Jan6 protestors to the wall, many are going to jail for many years. Pissed off.
A corrupt system is a corrupt system. Anyone who stays in the system is part of the system. There may be the naïve and fooled when first in the system – but once the corruption is known they become complicit if they do not leave/speak out. But ignorance is also not a defense. “Just doing my job” simply doesn’t fly.
Is this why Marc Elias left Perkins not to long ago??
Plausible deniability by him and Perkins Coie?
Kind of makes you want to rethink, “What all the fuss around Filegate was all about?”
Filegate -> during Clinton’s first term the Firstlady held onto a trove of jackets(dossiers) of FBI personnel and refused to return them.
Stole the records used to blackmail her way into perpetual power.
Stole the dishes and furniture and the “B” keys too!
Even Bill is afraid of her.
It’s this way;
It’s lost.
Witness disappears.
It’s sealed.
It was accidentally erased.
We were conned.
We had no knowledge of that.
Pleads guilty to a lesser charge.
It’s our club—you ain’t in it.
ROWDY Roddy Piper….check it:
Justice, did you see the book on the rack behind him at the bookstand? “Edgar Cayce on ESP”
That’s funny. It’s like a joke of a joke of a crime in a conspiracy of a crime in a bribe of a crime. They aren’t called FIB for nothing.
FBI; Federal Bureau of Intimidation; on anything encompassing traditional moral values or conservative principals. It is high time our Lord unleashes one of the deadly plagues. Have mercy upon them.
sort of reminds me of the the days of the silent assassin Sessions ,,,and follow the plan.
no thank you
Sessions did a terrible disservice to this country.
😂😂😂
That’s good!
Sussmann had a building pass to the FBI HQ in Washington DC including unchallenged and unescorted access to the 7th floor!
Well, I always thought the storm clouds meant we the people were going to call for and achieve a reckoning, but so far, it’s the other way around: the In Groups, the pols and the Bureaucracy are the ones getting the better of us.
The light at the end of the tunnel always seems to be the train.
Since 2012.. hmm who wad President then….Obama was this his idea or Joe?
Russia looks more and more attractive every day!
Well, I for one admire Putin more and more everyday and pray he stays in good health.
At least he knows how to lead his country and put their needs first.
My mother worked for the USPS (no mean jokes please…). There were two large publishers in town that had postal substations and clerks co-located at each one dedicated solely to the vast amount of mail they sent every day. I’m sure the FBI will try to use some similar defense, but this non-lawyer cannot see any reason at all on the planet for an FBI office co-located in a (partisan, FFS) law firm’s offices.
The still on going persecution of the Jan 6th people and Canadian truckers tells you all you need to know about challenging the globalist masters. Good luck stopping their advancement to their evil ends.
Ironically, Russia may be the only hope to throw a monkey wrench into those plans.
I just spent $162 at the Ace Hardware store that should’ve costed half that. The last trip to the hardware store was about $225. Stuff needs to be fixed. There’s lots of things they don’t have that *normally* a hardware store would never be out of. The worker there said to me, “Looks like you have some work to do!” And my response was, “every single day”.
My two cents: if there’s stuff that needs to be fixed in your home or car, do it now because the prices will soon make it out of reach. Better to spend the dollars now than not ever be able to spend them. The dollar bill is disintegrating.
Filled the tank and it was twice what it was two years ago.
This is all on Washington, D.C. and their sick and corrupt, evil, plans.
I shop an online liquidation company’s site. They go into one’s home, photograph and catalog and price one’s belongings, then offer them for sale online on a given day. Sometimes you can preview.
One can acquire a person’s collection of tools, fasteners, household goods, furniture for pennies on the dollar.
I pray and ask the Lord Yeshua what I should buy. So far, I will be the fastener person for my neighbors.
Real consequences to a stolen election.
The only solution is to correct the election theft and rid the country of the criminals presently running it into the ground.
President Trump won by a landslide and needs to be installed to serve his duly won term.
What happened to the real special counsel…the one that Sundance met with in DC? William Addelmann.? ??….
…..someone help with his last name. Remember him? The “how did you find me” guy.
He’s the guy along with another Durham prosecutor who sued the gun manufacturer in the Sandy Hook school shooting. What did you expect!
It’s never been more evident that the Mueller investigation was wasted on the wrong collusion. All by design with wanton intent with total disregard for the law.
This one is for Sundance: Brian Cates is praising your investigative ability; he usually criticizes or disagrees with you but this time he is praising you.

I think Sundances use of “ The Storm brewing over DC “ photo is telling……
