The legal case brought by prosecutor John Durham against Igor Danchenko is predicated on the notion that Christopher Steele’s source for his dossier willfully and intentionally lied to the FBI, and therefore Danchenko is guilty of purposefully misleading FBI investigators assigned to the Trump-Russia/”crossfire hurricane” investigation.
Transparently everyone knows the FBI were not duped by Danchenko and records indicate Danchenko told them the Steele dossier was full of fabricated nonsense. Additionally, to keep the revelation of the dossier as nonsense hidden, the FBI hired Danchenko as a confidential human source, technically shielding him from being questioned or exposed. The FBI decision to hire Danchenko was to keep the fraudulent dossier useful for their Trump targeting operation.
So, what’s going on?
This is where John Durham is doing two things: (1) He is protecting the corrupt DOJ and FBI institutions by not investigating any government action; and yet, (2) Durham is exposing corrupt FBI and DOJ action through his court filings and cases. Yesterday Durham provided more evidence of just how corrupt the FBI was in the lead-in to the 2016 election.
FBI supervisory analyst Brian Auten testified Tuesday that Hillary Clinton’s contracted opposition researcher, Christopher Steele, hired by Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, was offered up to $1 million by the FBI in early October 2016 if Chris Steele could prove the claims within the Trump dirt dossier he authored.
Steele was never paid the money because he could not prove the claims within the dossier, nor would he give up the name of the primary source for the information, Igor Danchenko. However, despite the FBI knowing the dossier could not be proved, validated or verified, later that same month they used the dossier as evidence to support a Title-1 FISA warrant against former Trump campaign aide, Carter Page.
The details provided by Durham only prove the researched outline we made almost 5 years ago.
The FBI knew the Steele dossier was junk, yet they used it in lieu of the mandatory ‘Woods File’ to seek an all-inclusive secret search warrant against the Trump campaign. Carter Page was a tool for the fraudulent search warrant, the FBI knew Carter Page from previous work he had done for them as an informant. However, to get the warrant they needed to accuse Page of being an asset of a foreign government – so they did. The Steele Dossier was used as manufactured evidence to support the FISA application.
The FBI goal was to create a legal mechanism putting everyone in/around Donald Trump under surveillance. This was the “insurance policy” as described by FBI agent Peter Strzok. The FBI had been conducting unlawful political surveillance against Donald Trump throughout the 2016 campaign, the FISA warrant was used as the legal basis to make the previous and future surveillance legal.
The FBI knew the dossier was junk, the FBI didn’t care – they needed it to create a fraudulent search warrant.
The FBI knew Carter Page was not a Russian asset, the FBI didn’t care – they needed him to get to Trump.
The FBI goal was always to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump.
(Via CNN) – Shortly before the 2016 election, the FBI offered retired British spy Christopher Steele “up to $1 million” to prove the explosive allegations in his dossier about Donald Trump, a senior FBI analyst testified Tuesday.
The cash offer was made during an October 2016 meeting between Steele and several top FBI officials who were trying to corroborate Steele’s claims that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia to win the election.
FBI supervisory analyst Brian Auten testified that Steele never got the money because he could not “prove the allegations.”
Auten also said Steele refused to provide the names of any of his sources during that meeting, and that Steele didn’t give the FBI anything during that meeting that corroborated the claims in his explosive dossier.
Auten was testifying at the criminal trial of Igor Danchenko, a primary source for Steele’s dossier, who is being prosecuted by special counsel John Durham. Danchenko has pleaded not guilty to lying to the FBI.
CNN previously reported that the FBI reimbursed some expenses for Steele, who had been an FBI informant.
Durham, a Trump-era prosecutor who is looking for misconduct in the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, has used some of the proceedings Tuesday to criticize the FBI’s handling of some of the early steps in the Russia probe. Durham handled many of the in-court arguments on Tuesday and personally questioned Auten on the witness stand – a rare move for a special counsel and former US attorney. (read more)
Offering $1 million to a source to provide evidence is not a decision made by a supervisory special agent.
The authorization to spend up to $1 million for evidence is a decision made by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI.
October 2016: FBI Director James Comey, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
Follow the timeline:
Steele offered $1 million to prove the dossier in early October 2016. He cannot.
FBI uses dossier in late October for a FISA warrant against Trump campaign.
Dossier source Igor Danchenko interviewed by FBI in January 2017. Tells FBI dossier is junk.
FBI hires Danchenko in March 2017 just before renewing the FISA they now know is based on junk.
May 2017 Robert Mueller appointed to cover up all of the DOJ/FBI corruption that existed in the Trump targeting.
June 2017 Mueller interviews Danchenko, then renews the FISA.
February 2019, Bill Barr enters as Attorney General.
April 2019 Robert Mueller completes investigation.
May 2019, Bill Barr appoints Durham just to look into things. Immediately then begs Trump not to declassify any documents. Trump writes executive order giving Bill Barr ability to review and declassify documents.
October 2020, Bill Barr officially (and quietly), makes John Durham a special counsel. We don’t find out until December (after the Nov election).
October 2020, FBI drops Igor Danchenko as paid informant.
Put it all together and you see the continuum.
(1) Donald Trump was being targeted by a corrupt DOJ and FBI. (2) Robert Mueller was installed in May 2017 to cover up the targeting. (3) When Mueller is nearing his completion, Bill Barr steps in to mitigate institutional damage from 1 and 2. (4) Barr maintains damage control and installs Durham. (5) Durham takes over the coverup operation from October 2020 (Danchenko safe to exit) through today.
Main Justice kept a bag over Danchenko until they needed a scapegoat, created by Durham, to sell a narrative that Main Justice was duped. John Durham is charging Danchenko (working outside govt) with lying to the FBI while simultaneously avoiding drawing attention to the FBI/DOJ officials (inside govt) who knew Danchenko was lying and were willfully blind to it in order to continue attacking and investigating President Donald Trump.
James Comey, Robert Mueller, Bill Barr, John Durham, the Mar-a-Lago raid… it’s all one long continuum of the same targeting and coverup operation.
Bill Barr was the Bondo application and John Durham is the spray paint.
The entire system is corrupt.
Incredible research and text Sundance….My head is still spinning – Imagine any attempt by the FBI on Obama….With the same stunt they pulled on Trump…This country would be in ruins right about now
A once great, dependable nation disintegrating from corruption inside the City Sewer of Washington, DC.
no, this country would be saved
Do you mean that the Lady Liberty with scales of justice,
and the U.S. justice system
has an unequal, double standard for just us
(with a bias not publicly defined as to whom it
favors (wef, c c p, …) /
/disfavors (god, life, civil equal justice for all)…
…but many people know…but not all…) ?
I do not know
If the FBI had any integrity at all we would have never heard of Obama, except for his ramblings as a corrupt junior senator wallowing in a state’s equally corrupt politics.
“I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of ” Admin.” The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result.
But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clean, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.”
CS Lewis, “The Screwtape Letters”
Because a police state is exactly what we now are. There is absolutely no doubt this what America has morphed into. The evidence speaks for itself.
This country is in ruins friend .
Its almost time to publish that book SD. Just a little more spray paint left to apply.
Possibly more pages then the entire Lord of the Rings collection combined. Sure to be extremely well sourced leaving no stone unturned.
The book was writing itself all these years.
Yes, but Sundance only deals with recent history. He doesn’t present all the past lore of FBI and CIA abuses.
This is just related to the Russia Hoax from start to finish. Not just the FBI involved.
The entire system is corrupt.
This is absolutely incredible. Well done, Sundance!!! Best wishes to you and your family and the other Floridians still cleaning up.
Wow. Offer a guy a million dollars to take down the GOAT President.
Comey and McCabe should be on trial for sedition. I can’t believe Democrat voters choose not to see through this farce and just walk away from their party.
“I can’t believe Democrat voters choose not to see through this farce and just walk away from their party.”
Why? Since when is there anyone in the Democratic Party with any kind of moral standards?
They have been conditioned to hate the USA! Heck citizens are not even encouraged to be Patriotic. The citizens have also been taught they are victims here instead of taught to compete.
These fat clown hair creeps love the kaos and power.
Some are Pats, others aren’t.. But they’ve all drank the same kool-aid.
No, they all read & saw what the legacy media wanted them to see! Some are not even aware of alternative sites such as this! Until that media is exposed & destroyed we will never rid this country of this evil!
You are probably right, but I believe/hope up to 20% of dems are just not really informed and hence are redeemable.
Not really informed + misinformed (ie: lied to) = 85% ~ 90% minimum.
Amount redeemable = ???
As Sundance says: “Pretend not to know”
Kicker is the million dollars would come feom tax payers.
so did the $30M or more they spent on the Mueller “investigation” when any reasonable person looking at the “Steele dossier” would know within two days MAX that it was bogus and in no way rose to the level of dependable “evidence”
So how did all this 30+ million dollars get distributed? Who and what organizations stuffed their pockets?
Besides Weissman,,,
17 demented lawyers and 50 active F-B-I agents ate up most of it over the 19 months Mueller was actively covering for the DS
everything the DOJ/FBI does is YOUR MONEY.
THESE PEOPLE have access to YOUR MONEY and Congress (your representatives) are more than willing to continue giving them access.
let this sink in deeply.
congress is composed of cowards, scofflaw’s, embeciles and godless dotards.
spending YOUR money is what they do…every single time… without question.
God Bless America
They don’t dare read this site.
The traitors involved have all moved well beyond mere illegally targeting a sitting President, to orchestrating a pandemic, and stealing an election, to starting a world war. When there is no consequences of your actions, why not go for it all. It’s obvious we are at the point where they just blatantly lie about it and laugh.
All of it has been worked out in some back room somewhere, and our best interest is not part of the conversation.
Buckle up, the next couple weeks will probably be some of the most interesting of our lives.
When the Allies liberated the Nazi prison camps in Germany in 1945, the German people pretended they did not know what was going on in the camps. (example: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/feb/17/johnezard)
Just like Democrat voters today cling to the Russia hoax, the Ukraine hoax, the 1/6 hoax, the covid/vaccine hoax, as well as the “mostly peaceful protests” lie. There is no amount of persecution or violence against their enemies they won’t explain away or pretend they don’t know about.
It’s in their DNA. It’s who they are.
My folks are hard-core Republicans yet cling to the same fallacies you cite above except the “peaceful protest”. This, in spite of me providing them with as much info as they could possibly want (volumes of info) or as little as they could want yet still be informed (bullet points).
Just to point out that I’m (barely – an old one) a millennial. With educated baby boomer (younger part of that generation), conservative parents. I fear there are many, many, many who are lost at the moment. Unfortunately some by choice, if for no other reason then their own confirmational bias. They are all redeemable if they are willing to take their blinders off – left – but probably not the hardcore types -, right, old, or young. Fellowship and God’s divine hand are all that will save us now (hence the closing of churches, and social distancing…but I’ll get off my soapbox for now.)
That generation was conditioned to believe what the see on the evening news. Sit down with them while they watch the news, take notes about the stories they present, then go on the internet and show them that the “news” they just saw was in fact a lie. Worked on my mom.
Nazis and Not Sees.
Yup. To quote the late, great El Rushbo, “Liberalism is a mental illness” and when dealing with crazy people, there is no logic, no reason, it simply isn’t on the menu.
Oh, I can..
5 fricken years for this high level, from the very tops crime to be revealed and nothing, absolutely nothing will come of it. And nothing for the conspiracy to conceal that crime.
How is this not treason?
How is this not criminal insubordination?
Im a lawyer. Had I knowingly used a falsified affidavit in a court proceeding I’d be disbarred, sued, and charged with filing falsified records – a felony. And that would be true for even a simple rear ender case. Yet when done to a sitting Prez? Nothing. Zero.
…none dare call it Treason…
We do.
“What the FBI, DOJ have done, while Senate & House Intelligence Oversight committees allowed it to occur without any broad public exposure or legal intervention, and the Judiciary in the FISC and SCOTUS have known about it yet remained silent, is treason.”
They know it’s treason, that why they had to steal 2020, and will again it a couple weeks if they don’t do something really crazy first. They are all in, and there’s no off ramp.
5 fricken years for this high level, from the very tops crime to be revealed and nothing, absolutely nothing will come of it.
“At this point…..what difference does it make???”__somebody once said
read license to lie – Sidney Powell
you are an attorney
THESE people have different powers you can never have.
justice as you know it is at least three tiers of reality and power below (or above depending on how you think about it) compared to how these institutions operate.
see…it’s not even a two tiered justice system
there is lawful boundaries that all citizens are subjected to…and there are special super powers DOJ and FBI has.
not even the same universe.
they operate well outside any norms and practices that ordinary citizens will ever experience.
congress has given these agencies that power.. Patriot act enhanced at least 4 times renewed.
congress is you enemy.
DOJ and FBI operate outside the rule of law.
the patriot act gives this power.
due process
4th amendment
probable cause
none of that applies
secret police spy state
that is OUR reality
God Bless America
Calling Bob Lee Swagger…
Not if you were working for the swamp
The ENTIRE ” Russia, Russia, Russia ” debacle was totally made up, and paid for by the Democrats one and all… the DOJ, FBI, CIA and OBOZO administration, with help from CORRUPT FISA COURTS !!!
And the SCOTUS would NOT listen to any arguments about ANY of these items…
And we’re suppose to TRUST the JUSTICE system … or CONGRESS ??? That ship has sailed… and hit an ICEBERG !!!
NO! It was CONCIEVED and INITIATED, and when exposed ‘covered up’ by REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP in Congress and the party.
Comey, Weismann and Mueller were REPUBLICANS; they entered and moved up in FBI/DOJ under Republican administrations.
Barr, also a Republican.
Don’t leave out Rosenstein . . .
He was/is also a Republican.
Moving up in the FBI/DOJ is not an automatic given that you belong to the political party holding the White House or the House or the Senate. People also switch political parties during their lifetimes.
You are the Democrat Party’s best friend!
Party doesn’t matter much to me anymore. Issues are all that matter. Party is just a construct that is used to corrupt the system and confuse the electorate.
You make me wonder was the point of the Stefanik questioning of Comey a cover up of Congressional leadership involvement in 2016 FBI abuses?
We take it as unveiling that Comey was running amok, doing so much without fully informing the go8 or even properly informing the President.
But once she tricked that confession out of him, she, and all other Republicans let Comey slide off the hook.
If I remember correctly from that video with Stefanik and Comey, Gowdy was sitting next to Stefanik looking very uncomfortable. Body language tells volumes!
actually, it was started as opponent research by the GOPe and the Hag picked it up and carried it into the endzone…….NEVER let the traitorous GOPe off the hook as they are a major part of the problem
Of course you were right all along Sundance. Now, years later, some others have come around after having to finally give up hope that first Barr, then Durham, would seek true justice. The FBI and DOJ weren’t duped, but the rest of the world certainly was, thanks to an ongoing corrupt system that both Barr and Durham have allowed, a complicit MSM, and others.
BTW I’m so happy and thankful you survived the hurricane. Fondest regards!
And that corrupt system needs to be burned down. It can’t be salvaged at this point.
None of the hierarchy in the ABCs should remain.
All part of the neural network of the psychotic hive mind.
..if it is to be effective, that scorched-earth cleansing will include the millions of lifetime hires/bureaucrats that are embedded in every agency/department.. Their name is Legion for they are many.
And then there are abut 30-40 million illegals who have taken up residency in our country, with no desire for citizenship, who will be forever draining whatever resources might survive all of this. Will have to retrain/rebuild/re-equip the military in order to find and get rid of all of them.
Because they wanted power and wealth more than they wanted our Republic to thrive, they have salted the ground.
“Because they wanted power and wealth more than they wanted our Republic to thrive, they have salted the ground.”
^^^THIS!!^^^ x 10,000+
Thank you, Sharon, for putting it so eloquently and succinctly.
I would place a thousand dollar on illegals that is redeemed when you show two ears stapled to a food stamp card .
Anytime the media, Democrats and RINOS agree about someone (Mueller, Barr, Durham, Comey, McCabe, and company) being a straight shooter, going by the book, rule of law, blah, blah, blah, you know the fix is in. The DOJ and most of DC is beyond repair.
Dirty DC just reminds me of the children’s song, “the wheels of the bus go ’round and round, “
“Puppetmaster, Secret Life of J Edgar Hoover” by Richard Hack on 48 years of corruption and criminal misconduct. FBI participated and covered up JFK, MLK, RFK, OKC and 9/11. They are a feral economic HIT team
I gotta think that Brian Auten cut some kind of deal with SC Durham to provide such testimony. He admitted that FBI was paying a spy to dig up dirt on President Trump. This means they are paying an informant to find a crime on someone they are spying on.
It is Counter-intelligence so a bit different that a criminal investigation, but Counter-Intel is supposed to be only on foreigners and not the President of the United States
I’m sure a “deal” was cut, all while Durham, Auten, et al, drank a few beers and laughed at how stupid the American people are. About as un-Patriotic as you can get. They care not for the future of the Republic.
Yesterday I watched a podcast from The People’s Pundit, Rich Baris.
He claims that John Radcliffe wanted to release all of the documents, but that Jared Kuschner argued against crossing that line.
(Did this come from Peter Navarro’s book?)
SUNDANCE – FUTURE TOPIC – JARED??
In his book, Navarro allegedly claims that JK watered down the China tariffs, interferred with Navarro and Lighthizer, and was doing the bidding of Wall Street and Blackstone?
Looking forward – there are reportedly groups setting the table for a potential Trump 2.0 term. Axios had an article on it. Sounded great. A database of MAGA-vetted personnel, funding, etc.
Then elsewhere I read that Jared Kuschner is running this. Ugh.
I saw that the far Left SIL of PDJT has either said himself or PDJT did that he would NOT be a part of the 2nd administration…….hopefully that stands for Ivanka as well…..I know PDJT feels they are one of the few resources he can safely place trust into but their FAR Left politics draw him in that direction
THEY will not allow Trump a second term.
Would you be hating Jared Kuschner so much if he wasn’t Jewish?
Irrelevant. I’ve actually applauded his alleged work on the Abraham Accords, and for years boasted that he was one of the few people that POTUS Trump could trust.
Now we have alleged instances of JK being diametrically opposed to MAGA America First policies. No bueno.
Not hate. Reality. If true, he should go work for Democrat lobbyists or the Biden Adminstration.
Jared and Ivanka were vocal opponents of any movement on border/immigration issues, against PRC tariffs, and were in the Fauci/Birx camp for nationwide shutdown and restrictions for COVID
That’s weak. I hate on Jared Kuschner because he is an elitist. He just happens to be Jewish.
Add globalist to Kuschner’s faults.
Who gives a f about his people i dont like lefties like him .
I’m surprised they bothered going through all this trouble to pull off this corrupt scheme when they know there’ll never be any consequences for them. Hell, they are law enforcement, if they’re the ones breaking the law who’s gonna enforce it on them? No one
Duh!
Comey: Nice dossier Mr. Steele.
Chris: Thanks Jim, you are a credit to your party.
Comey: Chris, what we really need is the pee tapes.
Chris: You know I just made that all up Jim.
Comey: True but, if you could prove some of the the more salacious details we could offer to “reimburse” you for some of your expenses. I was thinking a million in bitcoin.
Chris: LIsten y0u dumb 6′-8” sack of s@#t, I just told you I made it all up. FJB and the F the FBI if you think I’m getting dragged into open court and perjure myself for a lousy million bucks. Beside Hildebeast has already compensated me quite well and did not ask for any proof.

The FBI needs to be disbanded as an implacable enemy of the Constitution and the American people.
This was the kind of crap that started under that ultimate globalist, Woodrow Wilson and his notorious AG with the new Bureau of Investigation. This BoI mess was supposed to be cleaned up under Hoover in 1929 the new FBI, where we know now, some of Hoover’s myriads of abuses.
Patel is correct, Wray must be impeached.
problem is : if Page is a CIA asset, why did Brennan let him swing in the wind?

We have the transcripts for the 1st day of the Igor Danchenko trial.
The FBI’s million dollar offer to Christopher Steele.
Sergei Millian being a prior FBI Source.
And – how it was a bad day for FBI leadership.
https://technofog.substack.com/p/day-1-of-the-igor-danchenko-trial
“The Insurance Policy” mansplained in an abbreviated text between Stroxz and Page, was NOT simply to put the Trump campaign under survellence, …
Stroxz was ‘splaining a plan, that had been ‘splained to him, by higher ups.
In 2015 and 2016, use Carter Page warrant and NSA database searches with “3 party rule” to spy on everyone in the campaign.
Use that info to set up intel ops, to create “smoke where there is no fire”; to manufacture an illusion of collusion, between the Campaign and Russia.
“If, in the unlikely event that PDJT wins” to use this smoke to justify the appointment of a Special Prosecutor, to”Watergate” President Trump, using lieing leaks to degrade PDJT’S “popularity, to the point a worn down Public would accept him being forced to resign under threat of Impeachment.
THAT was “the Insurance Plan”, and it was not PLANNED, it did NOT originate from those who actively tried to carry it out; and as the planning and actions were occuring in 2015/2016, it certainly didn’t come from the Clinton campaign; having the “pussy grabbing” tape, the pee dossier as Oct surprises, and dominion in their pocket, they were NOT thinking “in the unlikely event DJT should win”.
As for ‘the actives'( Comey, Stroxz, Page, Mueller/Weisman, etc) firstly, they KNEW they were plotting Treason.
They, being in key positions in DOJ and FBI, could insure they prevented any criminal investigations, should their plan “go South”.
They could NOT, however block any Congressional investigations (think Nunes) which could expose their treason.
Before undertaking such a plan they would HAVE to have ironclad assurances that ANY Congressional investigations would be stymied and blocked, to save their necks from the noose.
Only McConnell and Ryan could give such assurances.
And, the whole plan is unworkable, unless 3 years before (2015, when the plan was initiated) the actives could be fully confident the House would ‘flip’ in 2018, as a Republican majority House could not be seen to be initiating an Impeachment against a Republican President.
Only Ryan could make that assurance. And, the otherwise inexplicable behavior we saw, from McConnel and Ryan, blocking Nunes investigation, Graham refusing any meaningful Senate investigations, Ryan throwing the House gavel to Nancy, can only be explained as McConnell and Ryan being IN ON the plan from the beginning (probably THE architects) and making good on their committments.
The Republican Speaker of the House, and the Republican Majority leader of the Senate, concieved and gave the green light to leadership in the DOJ and FBI, to launch ‘intel ops’ in order to remove a duly elected President from office.
THATS the fundamental truth, and its TREASON.
You have the same gift as most of the MSM. You can spin any political story to make Republicans look worse than Democrats.
I’m thankful for these threads.
It’s impossible to keep telling ourselves we are a moral nation when the raw sewage spilling out of this reprehensible and debauched government every day gives lie to that fairy tale.
We might once have been, but given all which is now being exposed, I seriously doubt it. This, as I see it, is simply over spill from the contaminated, disease ridden septic tank that is DC. One doesn’t have to have a vivid imagination to understand this tank is very deep.
More and more, I am coming to feel an affinity for those who lived under the Stalinist regime which Solzhenitsyn so poignantly wrote of. Is history rhyming? Repeating?
I would not take bets it is not.
A septic tank is a holy place compared to D.C. Only G_d Himself can set this straight, and I hope He does mightily.
I could swear we heard about the $1 million offer ages ago- is it just that predictable or does anyone else remember hearing it?
Not sure about quantity, but there has been much ado about making payments to Steele from the FBI.
It is not long after this that the FBI calls Steele unreliable, cancels him, but then keeps him going in a round about manner with Bruce Ohr.
And there has been much obfuscation on whether Steele was ever paid. Note the paid some expenses. He was paid, even if he couldn’t collect the big payoff.
We’re no longer a lawful nation we have a two-tiered justice system. Out of control spending giving the CCP open permission to devastate this country for a handful of silver in their bank accounts. The FBI is beyond redemption so is the DOJ in fact they are criminal organizations. They were after the newly elected President Donald J Trump and they have continued. I have never seen a politician so clean and honest as President Trump.
What US Attorney Durham neglects to address is that even after the FBI and DOJ knew that the Russian Collusion Dossier was a hoax in January 2017 (because the guy who wrote it told them) and the CIA debunked the secret Russian phone in Trump Tower a few months later Weissman and the DOJ/FBI sent an FBI SWAT TEAM to arrest ROGER STONE in January 2019. Even more horrific the DOJ proceeded to indict and then convict STONE in November 2019 almost three years after knowing that no one on Trump’s campaign including ROGER STONE EVER COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA on anything!
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/indictment-roger-stone/story?id=61147060
Let us not forget the original dossier was written and peddled by Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Exactly. It was a spy warrant on Paige, everyone who Paige communicated with, and everyone who communicated with those people. Exponential expansion. Going back years.
Like getting a warrant on the doorman which expands to spy on the resident of the penthouse because the doorman said ‘hello’ on the resident’s way in the building two years earlier. Then using that same warrant to spy on the resident’s mother, who never met the doorman, but did call for the resident’s birthday.
Getting a warrant on Paige was a warrant on every single person in the Trump campaign and then his administration.
Nope. The warrant was for every person in the entire building Trump resided in.
Let that sink in…everyone in the building was electronically surveilled, every text, email, download, upload, corporate communication, and phone call was tracked.
“Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”
Lavrentiy Beria, head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police.
Is it possible that Durham is exposing the corruption in the DOJ and FBI in the only way he can? I suspect there are powers in the corrupt government who could easily squash any direct charge he tries to make? Assignation isn’t out of the picture here.
NSA is a military command. If that Agency abuse is exposed it will be a game changer
If you recall the Obama period, our dear leader would pick people using the guide “symbolism over substance” for powerful government positions. Keeping that in mind, take a close look at Durham’s face, demeanor in those pics we have all seen.
Pit bull? Yea, but what has happened to those players who wasted government time, abused tax dollars, and lied?
Nada pal, but Durham still has that pit bull look, doesn’t he? Symbolism at work here, nothing more.
Self-preservation was my first thought as well.
This is a travesty of justice because the top people will not go to jail for many years as they deserve and as a warning for future similar behavior. In a previous generation this kind of action would have ended in front of a firing squad – literally.
so far, will not go to jail for **ANY** years as they deserve
hell, we aren’t seeing more than the occasional reprimand or MSM muted story
Traitor and FBI criminal McCabe got his pension restored
Sundance has been on this from the beginning. I can’t think of a single aspect he’s been wrong on, including the outcome. They will *never* hold themselves accountable. It is a natural law of the swamp. Therefore, we already know all subsequent outcomes. I hope we’re not being distracted. Election integrity should have been our sole focus for the last 2 years, and I fear in a few short weeks we will greatly regret that it was not.

Durham is a white hat in a bad situation. He knows they won’t prosecute themselves. He’s having to settle for them to admit, under oath, that it was all fraudulent and they KNEW it was fraudulent.
Is it what any of us want? No. But it may be the best we are going to get.
This went all the way to zero. Any whistleblower was going to get the Jan 6 treatment or the Seth rich treatment.
FOIA judge ordered release of Seth Rich laptop. I recall it is to be delivered tomorrow
no , it’s not enough
it’s still a deal breaker
So what does Danchenko do in his defense? Does he spill the beans and implicate Comey/McCabe or does he have some hidden deal no one knows about to shut up?
I’m sure if Danchenko chooses to testify, the courtroom would be immediately cleared, jury sequestered from the courtroom, proceedings adjourned for the day, gag orders being typed by hands with long-manicured nails, dogs and cats living together, shots of any available alcohol handy being downed, CNN and like Pravda in full meltdown….and 24 hours later, after consultation with his lawyer, Danchenko, dark circles under the eyes, decides to stand on his 5th Amendment again. It’s all a game. I guess the soap opera industry was feeling left out, so we get this crap instead.
More sensitivity training for the FBI. I am sure is being queued up and loading in their Learning Portal.
None of these 3 Letter agencies ever thought they would be caught and their evidence exposed.
What a joke. Ray should be repurposed as an orange traffic cone on the GW Bridge at the first NJ exit.
Its not like the GOPe will do anything, they are part of the cover-up and running out the clock. Flush them all out, including Jordan.
Just to reassert; it is John Durham himself arguing this case in court, not some low level lackey.
Build back better at the FBLIE. They know we know and they just don’t give a damn.
Sundance, you continually include this snippet when addressing these issues:
“The FBI had been conducting unlawful political surveillance against Donald Trump throughout the 2016 campaign, the FISA warrant was used as the legal basis to make the previous and future surveillance legal.”
I understand what you are saying, and I agree, EXCEPT, you cannot retroactively “unbreak” the law. The FBI was conducting unlawful political surveillance. Period. Stop. That is illegal. Illegal prior acts cannot be made retroactively legal. Sure the CONTINUED surveillance would fall under the FISA umbrella. But the actions prior to the FISA warrant were illegal and should be prosecuted. Once you break the law, you broke the law. Until the statute of limitations runs out, or you receive a presidential pardon, you are in legal jeopardy. Well, those of us in OUR tier of justice.
I hate for this to come off sounding highly critical. I love your site and love the work you do. But I wish you would amend your statement to indicate ‘they used the FISA warrant to cover-up their prior illegal activities.’
Based on past articles posted by Sundance, the FISA is retroactive so it covers past communications as well. In this way it provides a blanket of protection for all spying, past and present.
In theory, they would be able to legally go back and look into past communications. I think we all know they were already spying so the FISA provided cover for their past (illegal) actions.
The FISA is used as a laundering operation.
….to Judges
So, filling out the FISA Warrant Request (without lying) to spy on Americans, absolves you of spying on Americans WITHOUT a FISA warrant?
I understand what you (and Sundance) are saying. If you can do something that retroactively clears you of wrong doing, then there is no crime to begin with.
This is not a situation where they overheard a conversation on an American and based on that conversation went to get a warrant. They went after these targets KNOWING that they legally needed a warrant to legally intercept their communications. They didn’t. SO they broke the law. Going after the fact and getting the required warrant does not absolve you of the crime you committed.
If they can do this, they can use the NSA to spy on any citizen at any time with no repercussion. That completely eviscerates the 4th Amendment. COMPLETELY. 1 phone call from a telemarketer overseas and you are now the subject of a Counter-Intelligence investigation. The every day emails, texts, phone calls to friends, family, doctors and lawyers and internet browsing we have been intercepting for the past 5 years… totally legal now.
I’m sorry, I don’t buy that.
To be clear, it’s all illegal. It’s all a violation of the 4th amendment.
Like a money laundering operation, the money is still dirty money. The laundering just gives the “appearance” that it’s clean.
Thanks to the Patriot Act, the NSA has been abused by law enforcement to spy on US citizens without cause and then slap a bogus warrant on them to cleanse the dirty (unlawful) spying to give the “appearance” that lawful spying that took place.
In the case of Carter Page, The “F” in FISA stands for foreign. What justification do they have for a foreign warrant on a US Citizen?
It’s all bogus!
But it’s all coming to light thanks to the dogged determination of Sundance and crew to expose it!
Unfortunately, Bill Barr was nominated by President Trump. As tough as he is, ’45 was a lamb in a den of wolves.
part of the permanent Senate problem was Mitch the b!tch
Never get into a land war in Asia and never trust a Bushie when death is on the line.
I mean this genuinely.
6+ years ago if the FBI called me and asked that I go to a local office to discuss a matter of interest, I would have jumped in my car and offered any assistance they wished.
Now, today, I would not say a word without my own attorney protecting my interests was present. NOT A WORD!
When you multiply this sentiment by millions plus, you understand the work of the actual field agents has increased exponentially.
Which begs the question, where are all the whistleblowers?
I think about that too. I consider that the idea of the USA only works as long as We The People BELIEVE it will work. So what happens if enough people stop believing? Do we start to see something like a civil unrest version of the run on the banks at the start of the Great Depression, when We the People stopped believing the banking system would work? How close are we to that tipping point, when average citizens, the silent majority types, refuse to comply with LEO’s? There is already a sizeable portion of the population that doesn’t comply because they believe minorities are treated unfairly – how many more need to feel that way before we devolve into anarchy? It feels close and that worries me, because the establishments that should be worried about it don’t seem to be – they continue with the same behavior that has already destroyed their credibility.
A few rhetorical questions.
So, who’s going to jail?
Will the MSM even give this story a glance?
Will it move the needle a millimeter in exposing the endemic corruption?
Are serious further investigations, punishments and reforms on the way?
“The entire system is corrupt.”

You cannot depend on old parchment for your liberty.
Secession now.
I can’t get angry anymore. Only action will change this, and no one is prepared to take action. I am sick to death of senators calling people in so we hear about it, and nothing is done about it.
The entire US Government is an organized crime operation. Our Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves. God, save this country.
They knew it would come to this. The only question was how long it would take.

Am I missing something here?
Isn’t offering money to someone to prove a falsehood called BRIBERY?
I’ll take “A Captain Obvious” question for $1,000, Alex! 😂
ha!
