This might be the most important outline to understand this whole sordid mess…
During the Friday testimony of witnesses put on the stand by Special Counsel John Durham, there were two key witnesses, FBI Analyst Brittany Hertzog and FBI Special Agent Amy Anderson. Both witnesses testified they were part of the Mueller investigative team with a primary mission to investigate the claims in/around the Christopher Steele dossier. [See Technofog Substack for transcript excerpts HERE]
The testimony of FBI agent Anderson and FBI analyst Hertzog (about their role in the Mueller probe) leads to one inescapable conclusion, Robert Mueller lied to congress when he testified the special counsel did not investigate Chris Steele, the Steele Dossier, Fusion GPS and/or Glenn Simpson. Mueller claimed it was “outside my purview.”
While Anderson and Hertzog are tied to the case against Igor Danchenko, it appears the primary purpose of their being called as witnesses in the trial is not about Danchenko. It appears John Durham presented them for testimony to ‘gently‘ and ‘diplomatically‘ expose the corrupt intent of the two-year Robert Mueller investigation. However, before getting all excited about Durham exposing Mueller be aware: There’s an outrage trap in here!
To fully comprehend the dynamic, we first need a background context, then a review of the witness statements, then an understanding of the outrage trap.
(1) Background Context:
AFTER originally interviewing Danchenko in January and February 2017, in March the DOJ/FBI then reinterviewed him before refiling the second FISA renewal in April. With Danchenko on their payroll they FBI did not need to worry about him undermining the Trump-Russia narrative or speaking the truth about the dossier. This approach protected the fraudulently obtained title-1 surveillance warrant. The surveillance warrant was renewed in April.
AFTER Robert Mueller is appointed special counsel in May 2017, with Danchenko on the FBI payroll and under control. When Danchenko is interviewed on June 15, 2017, he is being interviewed as part of the Mueller operation. Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann now submit the FISA application for another renewal on June 29, 2017. The fraudulently obtained title-1 surveillance warrant was again renewed.
The reason to keep Danchenko on the FBI payroll is to mitigate any risk he might present if he were to speak. A corrupt FBI network in Washington DC put a control mechanism over Danchenko in order to preserve their surveillance warrant, which was built upon fraud by using the Steele Dossier. They renewed the surveillance warrant twice more (April and June) while Danchenko was a paid ($200,000+) confidential human source.
As you can see from the Durham case against Igor Danchenko, a controlled Danchenko was then handed-off to the Mueller probe, who kept Danchenko on the FBI payroll throughout the Robert Mueller investigation (ended in April 2019) until October 2020 when Danchenko was dropped by the FBI and John Durham “officially” took over and was appointed special counsel.
Dates are important – On July 24, 2019, when Robert Mueller is in front of congress, answering questions about Chris Steele, the dossier and the Steele sources therein, Mueller was able to deflect and dodge answering questions about it because AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019. AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019, immediately following Robert Mueller’s completed investigation, April 2019, for this exact reason.
(2) The Hertzog and Anderson Testimony: [H/T Technofog]
Hertzog was with the FBI from 2008 through 2019 as an intelligence analyst with a primary focus on Russian counterintelligence. She described her role as an analyst who “looks at information and tries to identify trends, patterns, and investigative next steps.” She was assigned to the Directorate of Intelligence at FBI Headquarters.
Hertzog was assigned to Special Counsel Mueller’s Office in July 2017. She described her role and chain of command with the Mueller Team:
Q And what, generally, was your role with the Special Counsel Mueller’s team?
A I was primarily initially to focus on looking into reports that the FBI had received on Russian matters.
Q All right. Did those reports have a particular name?
A We referred to them typically as the Steele dossier.
Q Now, as a member of Special Counsel Mueller’s team, was there a chain of command?
A Yes.
Q Can you describe the chain of command that you worked with?
A I reported directly to SIA Brian Auten. Above him was Special Counsel Mueller. There were horizontal chains of reporting as well. So there was an attorney, a supervisory special agent, and then head of FBI personnel.
Q Okay. So you had occasion to work with special agents as well, correct?
A Correct.
Q And who were some of the special agents that you worked with Special Counsel Mueller?
A I worked with Supervisory Special Agent Amy Anderson and Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
Hertzog became familiar with the Steele Dossier, and with the parties involved in the Steele Dossier, once she joined the Mueller Team:
Q And how did you become familiar with Mr. Steele?
A When I reported [July 2017] to the Special Counsel’s Office, SCO, I had received background information on the investigation up until that point.
It was her job to “look into the Steele Dossier.” She described this as “trying to identify the sourcing for the claims in the dossier and, specifically, the national security threat with regards to the Russian influence piece.” Hertzog explains:
Q And a lot of names appeared in those dossier reports?
A Correct.
Q Did you learn that there were a number of different sources that the defendant relied on?
A Yes.
Q Did you have a particular focus on any of those sources?
A There were a number of sub-sources that were identified for investigative next steps.
Q Okay. And did you have a particular individual that you focused on?
A Yes. There was an individual named Olga Galkina who was — when I was assigned to SCO, was my primary focus initially.
Compare Hertzog’s testimony to the words of Robert Mueller:
Agent Amy Anderson, who works in the field of counterintelligence, was part of the Crossfire Hurricane/Mueller Team from April 2017 through January of 2018. Her initial assignment was “to attempt to validate the Steele Dossier,” to “either verify the reporting or determine that it was not accurate.”
Anderson described her role and supervisors with Special Counsel Mueller:
Q What was your initial — who were you initially working with in that role at the Special Counsel’s investigation?
A When I first arrived at the Special Counsel, I worked with Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten, as well as quite a few other intelligence analysts, Stephanie LaParre, Iva Drasinover. We had a team that was working the dossier in particular.
Q Did you work with someone by the name of Brittany Hertzog?
A I worked with Brittany a little bit later. She came in not at the very beginning but maybe a month after, a month or two.
Q And in terms of who you reported to at the Special Counsel’s office, if you could, just tell us who you reported to.
A Technically, I reported to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
Essentially, agent Anderson, together with analyst Hertzog, did deep investigative work into the Dossier, Igor Danchenko and his relationship with Charles Dolan. FBI agent Amy Anderson then compiled a report outlining the fraud within the dossier and the political relationships with the people who assembled it. Anderson then passed that report up the chain of command in the Mueller investigation to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson who buried it and did nothing.
So, we can easily see that Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissman, the special counsel team, did in fact spend a great deal of time and resources investigating the background of the Steele Dossier, including interviewing Christopher Steele himself, and all the claims within the dossier to include investigations of Danchenko and Dolan and other participants.
As a result of the FBI witness testimony, everyone can easily say that Robert Mueller mislead or lied to congress during his July 24, 2019, testimony. However, there’s an outrage trap in here, and John Durham certainly has to know it.
(3) The Outrage Trap:
Listen carefully to the testimony of Rober Mueller on July 24, 2019, best encapsulated within these two specific rounds of questioning. As noted by PBS, “Mueller, who led an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible ties to President Donald Trump’s campaign, declined to answer questions regarding how the probe began or whether the so-called Steele dossier was a contributing factor.” WATCH:
.
Robert Mueller also claimed not to know who Fusion GPS was, or what role Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, played in the assembly of the Steele Dossier.
.
Robert Mueller is in front of congress in July 2019, answering questions about Chris Steele, the dossier and the Steele sources therein. Mueller was able to deflect and dodge answering questions about it because AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019.
When Robert Mueller is saying there’s another group in the DOJ looking specifically at the Chris Steele, Dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson aspect to the fraudulent 2016/2017 claims about Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election, he is talking about the John Durham investigation.
Mueller is citing Durham as the reason why his purview, and subsequent report as released, did not include the Steele dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson information.
Mueller is saying that stuff is the responsibility of “the other internal investigative unit,” ie. John Durham.
When you stand back and remind yourself of the Bill Barr statements and affirmations about the ‘integrity’ and ‘honor’ of Robert Mueller, one can only accept that AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019, immediately following Robert Mueller’s completed investigation, April 2019, so that Mueller would have a shield for why the origin of the Trump-Russia is outside his purview.
This is how they use silos as weapons and shields. Not in my purview is the same as not in my silo.
Mueller was citing Durham as the reason his team did not expand their probe to fully investigate Chris Steele et al. Mueller’s special counsel has an escape hatch for why they did nothing with their own investigative findings…. That was John Durham’s job. This is the outrage trap.
AG Bill Barr established John Durham’s probe (silo) so that Robert Mueller’s probe (silo) would have cover.
If John Durham’s investigative inquiry did not exist prior to that July 2019 testimony by Robert Mueller, then Mueller would have lied to congress.
AG Bill Barr put Durham into place, essentially constructed another silo, to protect his ‘good friend’ Robert Mueller….
Per the title: Your “But” isn’t big enough!
Words never heard by Kim Kardashian 🙂
Broken record here …. this is a repeat of the Horowitz IG Report operation.
The body of the IG Report EXPOSED that there are incompetent and bad eggs in DoJ and FBI. Too bad that there was juuust not quite enough evidence to indict any of them for anything …. but … we will dismiss a few of them and punish the rest with a Power Point Training session.
Ignore that those dismissed, with no criminal record, were then hired into some pretty cushy jobs or were allowed to retire . Plus, those incompetents kept on the payroll were promoted.
The Durham Paint Job, in IG Horowitz hue, is about to be applied.
[Note: Mueller is collecting a Federal pension as are a few others he used on his crew.]
IG’s don’t expose things, they make government malfeasance unable to be prosecuted. That’s the whole point of the process when you understand that by design, it turns illegal activities into HR matters.
Durham really isn’t the coat of paint, it’s more about giving the right it’s false sense of government getting its comeuppance.
Now both sides can say the were right… And keep voting with intent and feeling like it matters. As long as enough of the country stays vested in picking a side or favorite football team, this continues.
WRONG … the IG exposes and reports FACTS as well as FINDINGS and even defines it as wrong doing and worthy of REFERAL for prosecution.
The IG does not report to HR nor are the finding meant only for HR.
I think they mean “de facto”
Who is in jail due to an IG referral?
Try reading…nobody was charged as the DoJ took the referrals but determined there was not enough evidence to chage anybody.
I NEVER SAID there were charges based on REFERRAL.
There’s a mountain of evidence, but the IG is part of the DC C@rtel.
But keep in mind the person that determines if there are indictments to issue based on IG reports is a Meuller appointment.
She received some sort of promotion or award right around the time Biden took office.
He unfortunately mistakenly still believes there is hope for his perception of what the is government.
Give him time.
“Ms Anderson then passed that report up the chain of command in the Mueller investigation to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson who buried it and did nothing.”
Where was the IG?
IG reports by their nature of discovery do in fact make their discoveries impossible to prosecute.
The individual being investigated is deprived of any legal representation and put into a position of forced discovery and admission.
I’d encourage you to do your homework on this process.
George Orwell: “Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable”.
Try 27 DOJ attorneys who deleted the data on Federally issued cell phones.
No indictments. No use of NSA to see what they were doing or communicating with.
Ipso facto.
Andrew Weissman “accidentally” erased all those phones like Rosemary Woods on Meth.
When others did it, he charged them with Obstruction of Justice.
#GangsterGovernment
A GOP House can put Mueller under oath.
You do realize that it was a GOP House and Senate that allowed his appointment and protected him from the date of his appointment?? To add insult to injury, it was a GOP House and Senate that demanded AG Sessions recuse himself.
I thought Sessions recused himself like a gutless groveling coward when he was called out by Al Franken.
Sessions was in on it.
How many pols have we seen in the last few years that talked a mean game, then, when it was their turn at bat, and the game was on the line, took three straight strikes. Sessions, Goudy, Grahm, to name a few. It’s amazing what a few pieces of silver will buy ya.
I disagree, but doesn’t really matter at this point.
Sessions was a rube about 15 years past his sell-by date.
McConnell first removed him fron his Immigration subcommittee chair in favor of Mike Enzi based on about 2 weeks of seniority for Enzi.
Then (I suspect) McConnell maneuvered Sessions into the AG appointment for the purpose of getting him recused. I also suspect McConnell knew what questions Franken would be asking.
Franken asked the questions. It was Tash Ganier(sp?), and DOJ-NSD that pressed the issue.
Who gave Franken that line of questioning? He never struck me as the type of legal mind to cone up with that on his own.
Did Schumer and McConnell know he was going to ask those questions. I suspect they did.
Note that Franken was forced out over some sexual harassment charges shortly afterwards. But no follow up once he left. Franken allowed to quietly retire.
5+ years and counting…….sure they will!
Of all the promises made by our “right wing” politicians, which have they actually delivered??
If you vote us in we’ll repeal Obamacare. We did and THEY didn’t.
the GOP never questioned one Obama/Pelosi advance into the destruction of our Constitution. The Senate would have voted to impeach President Trump if Mitch was ready to face the consequences at the time.
Ryan and McConnell are two who led the Deep State Wepuplican Wing of the Democrat Cabal. Those leaders?
Ryan and McConnell sure did us a favor getting rid of ObamaCare? That is the thing about RINOs, their promises are not worth anything. The promises end the evening of the election and those politicians turn into UniParty again
For me, Ryan, that traitorist piece of mierda, I can’t even type thinking his name. That dude, he’s the one who drove home the the point like a white hot knife in the back, that Rino’s are just Dems who lied to get elected to the opposition party. I honestly don’t know if I could control myself if I saw him in public. That one guy destroyed so much of what could have been. He personally derailed every potential counter move to the Dems. And here we are today. Paul fing Ryan is as much to blame as anyone. A thousand year pox on his family.
The Republicans knew impeaching Trump would likely cost them 40-50 million voters over the next decade. It was the only reason Mitch didn’t allow his RINO faction to fully oust Trump from the White House.
They almost certainly knew the 2020 presidential election would be stolen. I just wonder if Mitch knew in advance the Senate would be stolen from Republican control. I’m fairly sure he did.
Bitch McConnell LOVES being in a slight minority. Cuts down his work load and meh, what can I do!
He will just exaggerate his existing dementia and they will get nada!
27 Federal phones were wiped clean by crooked Democrat attorneys.
Ipso facto.
Only if it d0esn’t interfere with his daily pudding cup at 4 o’clock. Or his nap at 2. Or his bedtime at 7.
Or his 25 daily diaper changes
I think people need to accept that congressional investigations if you have no support from the Department of Justice, which the GOP doesn’t, are just a waste of time except for some grandstanding.
It’s not a complete waste. We the people are made aware of some of the gubmint’s malfeasance.
Without Devin Nunes, we’d know nothing at all about crossfire hurricane.
Most people still don’t know about it because MSM completely suppressed the real story. Nunes did a great job and made several criminal referrals to the Department of Justice which resulted in the appointment of Durham by Bill Barr with both of them knowing they would never act on them.
You’d be surprised how many people have been paying attention to alternative news sources.
Congressional investigations are where the truth goes to die.
Our government is not going to fix itself. Our government is corrupt beyond repair. God’s Will Be Done.
such a refreshing perspective /s…..why do you bother posting if you have given up?……are you in doubt and trying to convince others with your pessimism?
There is an option: States where sanity and integrity still prevail can gain (or regain) their independence and assert their rights to self-determination. Exposing the corruption, and how prevalent it is (that it’s as bad as it can get), can serve the purpose of waking people up to the reality that the feral government is corrupt beyond repair, and get them to start the process (or participate in the process) of pursuing the only viable option.
If you want to call it “giving up”, then that is fine, as it will lead to doing what needs to be done.
The Texas Nationalist Movement is leading that effort in Texas.

There are similar movements in other States.

The only time I’ll get “involved” is when the call goes out for rifleman.
Amen!
Honest question… To what avail or result?
I strongly question why anyone takes these things seriously.
Yes, but he will claim he has forgotten and that is likely true.
They all should be subjected to a dementia test and as soon as they fail, kick their a$$es out. And that goes for all of the administration, house of representatives, senators and every staff member, and every alphabet agency in the federal government. Maybe even on down to Governors, State Legislators, State officials, etc etc.
How many big corporations do you think would allow dementia patients/employees to work beyond standard retirement age?
But never will, as he will either pretend to be addlepated or he actually IS suffering from dementia and can’t remember a thing he ever said! There is no hope in politics — it’s all compromised! .
Didn’t the GOP House give us Tre Gowdy?
….no guts there…
Lindsey Graham went repeatedly on Hannity reassuring everyone Mueller was an honorable and just man.
GOP leadership were clued in from the beginning. Mueller was blessed by the Deep State since he was the leverage they needed over Trump.
Durham intentionally did not prosecute the traitors in our government that tried to remove Trump from office. Now they can never be charged because of a 5 year statute of limitation. Whatever else he does is unimportant. He was chosen for that job because Barr knew he would do nothing.
The “Seditious Conspiracy” is still ongoing and therefore, the clock for those charges has not even started yet. Add Barr and Durham to that list.
That IS the downside to the ongoing coverup they are continueing to implement; it continues to push the Statute of Limitations into the future.
not for the murders/pedos/traitors….no statue limitations ….
The conspiracy encompasses the original crime and all those who conceal it, such as Durham.
No federal judge especially in DC is going to accept that legal theory.
The States can hold their own tribunal.
They can put on shows but they can’t charge anyone with federal crimes. Our DOJ is controlled by the most corrupt people in our government and that is why none of these traitors will ever face charges.
except under RICO EACH succeeding criminal offense resets the SoL
We can always find NEW dirt on them.
With the in-depth posts such as this and the last weedy one on the Fourth Branch of Government, I suspect Sundance is trying to help us avoid falling down the rabbit holes ahead of us.
I always pick up something I missed before when read the deep posts, so I have begun to write out dates as I read.
In the last 24 hours Sundance has gone deep to indicate the Fourth Branch focus on the upcoming election plans and the expectation of Durham trial outrage when nothing happens.
Imagine what thoughts were circulating within Mueller’s brain, this former Marine who now mingled within Washington, DC’s power elites. Where was his center, the core of him driven by principles the ancient Greeks could easily identify?
Fast forward to his last appearances before Congress where his memory was used as his protective shield…a faltering display due to age was the excuse others offered. Was such real? How does a slow yet effective corruption occur?
Where is Mueller’s reputation today? Close friends still stop by at his table at his favorite country club to wish him well and talk about old times. He is insulated from the common citizen, most likely ignores negative criticism written about him.
He sees no wrong in his later efforts to destroy Donald Trump…that is my opinion.
All the wrongs he may have done while leading the FBI he could corrected in his position as the leader of the committee assigned to destroy Trump, especially when it became known that there was no there there. It was his historical fork in the road.
Mueller choose to stay with his Washington, DC pals and mingle in his country clubs smiling that he had achieved what all had wanted. He was safe.
And yet, history downstream may conclude he was a sell out, a con man dressed as a soldier for America. Is it any wonder while in Nam the action of fragging came into being?
History, I suspect, will frag Mueller and I will not shed a single tear over such a reality!
There’s nothing easier to get used to than another’s pain…
Mueller can not control his dreams.
Maybe that could be a little justice served him in this life.
Mueller knew he was insulated and would always be protected by Weissman and the vile, dastardly DOJ/ Lawfare team.
From his korsakoff syndrome puzzled stares it was apparent he spent his “leadership” time getting potted.
His priority, of course, was making himself numb to any shame or guilt arising when pesky neurons might spark a rare pang of conscience.
Perhaps a canoe trip on the Potomac
Until Cody Shearer and Sidney Blumenthal, the original dossier authors and peddlers, are truly exposed this all show in my opinion.
This crap is BS, everyone knows it, from the beginning it was that sleaze Blumenthal rumoring in 2015. This was about the Clinton’s corruption and the wanting Putin out of office, Russia broken and cheap or free energy going back to Yukos Oil et al. Trump was a bonus for these people.
Why now are the Clinton’s resurrecting the Global Initiative. Yes, these FBI Muller people were in on it. So was Lindsey Graham. In my opinion. Biden as Viceroy, McCain, Murphy of CT, Obama. Everyone.
We as a country can’t say it’s crap until the report of the investigation comes out, and then the investigation of the report, and then the report of that investigation, and then the investigation of that report, etc.–all done by corrupt Democrat lawyers (pardon the redundancy) making $1000/hr (at taxpayer expense) to conduct investigations and write reports. The process really is the punishment.
It is crap, the whole stinking scenario in BS crappy.
I am fully aware of the lawyers, the process, and everything else you think I do not get. It is all crap. There are more 4 letter words to describe the corruption but I do not swear in public.
This Durham thing is a cover up, a distraction, in other words crap. Sorry, I am perfectly comfortable calling these people crap. I have been calling it crap for close to 30 years and will continue to do so for as long as the good Lord allows me to have a breath in my body. The corruption is crap.
Well I don’t know why you have to sugarcoat it like that. Why don’t you just tell us how you feel?
Mreed01, I think you misunderstood Caius Keys. The claim that we can’t call it crap until… was sarcastic. And note the use of the word “corrupt” later in the post and the concluding point about process as punishment. You two are in agreement.
LOL! TYVM…
The only reason they resurrected the Global Initiative is they know Dems will steal another election.
What was Muellers preview? Deception…thanks to Bill Barr!
And Barr musta thought we are stupid.
“We” as a nation are. Mention this stuff to 99.9% of the population and they will have no idea what you’re talking about. That’s why they know they can get away with it.
Mention this stuff to 99.9% of the population and they will instantly label you as a dumb conspiracy theorist that’s wrong about everything the world has to offer and worse, you MUST be one of those stupid Trump supporters that watches…..FOX NEWS!!!!
Why do so many uninformed people have such an obsession with hating on a network channel they wouldn’t be caught dead watching? Personally, I don’t waste my time with any of the alphabet news networks. Just don’t have time for the stuff, so I hold no opinion on any of it. My time is better spent getting right to the heart of things through outlets such as this forum. It’s that wide spread vitriol against fox that I’m finding odd, especially when it comes from what would otherwise appear to be sane individuals.
I say much of it is ignorance and not stupidity. Think of all the censoring going on.
Before jumping on a limb here, I was pretty ignorant of what could be really happening.
And yes, there are blockheads.
Like that Gruber fellow in the obamacare CRAP: we are all stupid! 😎

In their world, Trump is sub-human and is not worthy of justice and will never receive any. That is his punishment for going against the establishment and siding with us deplorables.
I have to disagree, PDJT is and was a superhuman threat to them , rest of it is correct
5 years to find dirt on Trump….THEY’RE still looking.
People need to learn how to zoom out to the 10000 foot level.
ALL of this is hyperbole and agitprop theater. It’s just the government and friends putting on a good show for the masses.
Don’t take it’s meaning so seriously…
Trump is the juxtaposed version of Hillary and vice versa. It’s the parties and government getting BOTH sides to believe you have a side.
You don’t…
At 10 feet it is Kabuki, with some Professional Wrestling thrown in for the cheap seats …
They really need to lay off the popcorn!! 😂
I’m all outraged out. Fully digesting that we can’t punish them for what they’ve done or stop them from continuing is exhausting.
As you are, puzzled, I as well am all “outraged out”. That well is dry.
Hope is a good thing, and we have all been hoping against all the odds that there was at least one person with a conscience, morals, and professional ethics. But there comes a point when we have to face the reality that every single one involved in government, no matter which department or division, is a card carrying member of a dirty protection racket. This is all bread and circuses for the masses.
Sundance’s incredible savvy, diligence, and most important, his bravery in exposing himself to persecution by ripping the scab off this embedded, suppurating infection, impervious to any amount of sunlight which is pouring in simply allows me to see this country for what it probably has been for decades. Not that “shining city on the hill” we’ve all been gaslighted to believe.
I feel no compunction in admitting the truth. The United States and its operators are indeed the Empire of Hate and Lies. And now we understand how the rest of the countries in this fallen world see us.
I’d rather know and admit it than not. It saves a lot of angst.

It’s the best way forward.
We seem to be inching closer. It would be a messy one.
Great expression. I’m there with you.
I don’t hold hope that the wheels of justice will magically reappear and roll over all of the corruption that has been exposed. I do still hold hope that our country will yet be triggered into recreating the Polish example and in the process execute the will of the people.
Time is growing short perhaps for me to witness the rebirth of our Bill of Rights and Constitution but I’m praying as hard as I know how for such a reversal to come quickly.
And that is where all our hope should rest, cantcforest. Together with unending, strong faith…and patience.
Agree, outraged out and not going to spill energy being outraged going forward; would rather be storing up the energy and working to be in whatever position am able to be in and act when it’s time to rebuild whatever is left of our great nation going forward to create the peace and opportunities our generations have been given. Seems the least we can do given the innumerable lives given to create and defend our nation since the 1700’s. Seems to be the best way to spend energy, looking for what positive, constructive, can be done.
Why was Jeff Sessions allowed to just disappear without any questions from a single source for now 6 years? Not a peep. Shouldn’t he have to answer questions about his initial placement of Durham prior to Barr elevating and extending Durhams investigative reach?
I remember Sessions appointed Huber to investigate and it went nowhere. Durham was brought into it by Barr.
Mr. Durham has served as the interim U.S. Attorney since October 28, 2017, after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions signed an order appointing him to the position. President Donald Trump nominated Mr. Durham to serve as U.S. Attorney on November 1, 2017, and the U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination on February 16, 2018.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-ct/pr/john-h-durham-sworn-united-states-attorney
Most people don’t know Durham was also appointed by Eric Holder to investigate CIA prisoner abuse. And he did the same thing with that investigation. Dragged it out for years and nothing happened. There is a reason he was chosen by Barr. Durham is where investigations go to die.
I have been told that Huber investigated nothing and was just a diversion tactic.
It has also been hinted that that Huber advised Sessions to recuse himself from the Trump related investigations.
Sessions is a mush-mouth back-stabbing scumbag who knew he was going to enable the Mueller Fraud from the get-go.
He even offered his resignation to Real President, knowing that if it was accepted, it would be an Impeachment charge.
He’s just another sell-out Seditionist in a stinking corrupt city filled with little else. Thanks for firing him, Alabama.
Southern Man don’t need him around, anyway!
Sweet Home Alabama ~ Live 1974 ~ HD – YouTube
What you say may very well be true but my question is ‘Why has Sessions been allowed to disappear without answering any questions (or blowback) about his initial placement of Durham?
Not by anyone from either side and really not much blowback by Trump or others in his orbit.
I find it curious.
“If John Durham’s investigative inquiry did not exist prior to that July 2019 testimony by Robert Mueller, then Mueller would have lied to congress.”
A: He escaped because he was a member in Good Standing of the Coup-Plotters Club. And the Real President was betrayed by so many people, it was hard to pick just one.
Either way, Dirty Bob perjured himself before Congress repeatedly–just as they requested. Mueller even bugged President Trump by “accidentally” leaving behind his cellphone.
RIP Ed King … not a southerner … but had the southern attitude … and my oh my what a riff. A genius riff … Arguably the best known opening riff to any song ever written. Talk about ‘hook’ … the minute you hear it you wanna grab a girl, grab a beer, and give it a whirl …
The only response to that declaration…I see your SHA and raise you Stairway to Heaven.
There are people a dog considers not worth barking at.
True. Especially when dogs get muzzled.
Bureaucracies (and that is all that the FBI has evolved into) always advance their interests like a self-greasing wheel. … Bill Barr the chief mechanic holding the oil can. These stooges are nothing more than valets for the ruling class. What an entry on a resume … I washed Obama’s laundry.
Thank you, Sundance! That whole thing is rich!
Why is John Durham exposing FBI role if nothing can be done about it?
Can Congress pass laws that expand the statute of limitation involving government corruption and then go back and charge the criminals within?
How do we get around the silos deceptions in the future?
It seems Durham is exposing a lot of things. That’s not the behavior of a black hat, is it?
Part of the exposure now will lend to normalcy latter.
It’s the Progressive pattern.
NO. It won’t.
There is no Statute of Limitations on murder, and pretty sure there isn’t one for Treason.
More broadly, its a cart and horse; seeking or hoping for Justice, or the correction of Injustice, prior to cleaning up the stables is putting the cart before the horse.
Understanding HOW they do what they do, IS valuable.
Those foolishly focusing on Congress, and on GOP majorities after the midterms, are also putting cart before horse.
After the midterms, there WILL, I believe be GOP majorities, in both houses.
And, much like this phoney investigation followed by investigation, because GOP Leadership was deeply involved in all the DC crap, it will be Kabuki theater for the two years from midterms to 2024.
Think Trey Goudy hearings, 2.0.
They will not get away with this. Guaranteed!
THEY Gotten away with it for 6 years.
NO! It is not.
“Why is John Durham exposing FBI role if nothing can be done about it?”
It’s Durham’s job to expose just enough useless information so there’s the appearance of a “thorough” investigation, all the while providing the channels needed to bury all evidence and complete the coverup. Dog and Pony Show in the center ring. It continues until the populace shows evidence of fatigue from watching and then it’s on to the next show.
After this long I find my level of outrage hasn’t changed and it is tiring. I despise these people.
That’s the point…wear you down to where it doesn’t matter.
They are still tied together at the hip.. Round them up including bar and durham they have obstructed Justice and committed FRAUD against We the People and President TRUMP
Mueller Will be allowed to amend and correct the record of his testimony and all will be good in Dctopolis – correction – – “I thought the Congressman was referring to the Steal Dossier , my mistake , not the Steele Dossier , which has now been correctly testified to at the current trial … and thank you for opportunity to set the record straight …” (.s a r c…. )
Who will question Durham? Nobody. He will fade in with the wallpaper like all the rest of of the criminals. His being the crime of omission.
They’re all a pack of liars and criminals. Put them all against the wall and let God sort em out.
I remember that during his testimony, Mueller looked like someone who had eluded his keepers in the Memory Care Unit much like Biden looks every time he goes in public. Wonder when the same strategy will begin with Nanzi Pelosi? We’ve seen them treat Diane Feinstein like she either escaped the Memory Care Unit or the loony bin. Any chance Dementia Joe will get the chance to put Nanzi in as the Ambassador to the Vatican? I must assume by her most unChristlike actions as Speaker that she is hoping to fool St. Peter into believing she is repentant.
Maybe that’s legalese that I as a foreigner do not understand, but Sundance is saying that Durham was appointed in May 2019, more than a month prior to the hearing in Congress. Thus, at the time of the hearing “that stuff” was the responsibility of another investigative unit. True, it was at that time, but representative Stefanik is not asking about that. She is asking about undertakings made by the Mueller probe at the time when he was responsible for “that stuff”. I do not see how he can be shielded from answering by the fact that he now is not responsible for that part of the investigation. Can anyone, please, explain?
I’ve said it before … the Dem operated and controlled DEEP STATE sure know how to abuse the process. It should all be illegal and unconstitutional to bureaucratically stonewall the American people … refusing to reveal TRUTH to their employers … US. And let’s add all the “security” redactions to that list of abuses exploited.
The Dems created FOIA … and now they’ve invented multiple methods for undermining it.
This scam is a preview of the operation of all law enforcement,local or state. Facts are manipulated or avoided all to achieve a favorable outcome. When a defendant is arrested multiple charges are tacked on to force a plea of guilty. An end run results in a conviction without a trial. Reports by law enforcement are fabricated or outright lies. Tactics are shared throughout agency’s. To summarize what I’m trying to say is tread lightly in support of law enforcement. Agreed they are the thin blue line but always remember they were all appointed and promoted by crooked politicians.
ALL of this is a distraction.
In 2015 and 2016, FBI/CIA agents and ‘assets’ conducted a series of covert operations.
They attempted to ‘set up’ various “Trump campaign advisors and associates of the Trump campaign.
They ‘set up’ the “Trump tower meeting” with a woman from Russia, who shouldn’t have been able to attend, because she shouldn’t have been able to get a VISA, to enter the U.S.
They had a “foreign asset” give Papa-D $10,000, intending to arrest him upon arrival in the U.S., for not declaring the $, and for FARA violations.
They used a FABRICATED ‘blackbook’ from Ukraine, to investigate, arrest and prosecute Manaforte.
And they did the whole Carter Page operations.
NONE of this had ANYTHING to do with the Clinton campaign, or the Steele dossier.
And such operations could ONLY have been authorised “at the highest level”.
All of this was laying the predicate for “the Insurance policy” as mansplained by Stroxz to Page,..and SOMEONE explained it to Stroxz; SOMEONE came up with the original PLAN,and gave it a “green light”; gave the order to proceed.
It didn’t originate with Comey, or ANY of the “active participants”; it came from “higher up”.
The plan, concieved in 2015, did NOT come from the Hillary campaign, working on their manufactured October surprise of the Steele dossier.
The plan made no sense, without a guarantee the House would flip, in 2018, a full 3 years later.
And only ONE person could make such a guarantee; Paul Ryan.
As the plan was TREASON, the actives had to have ironclad guarantees that any Congressional investigations would be stonewalled, and the actives would be protected.
Only McConnell and Ryan could guarantee such.
And, what do we see? Ryan blocking Nunes, refusing to authorise subpoenas, and authorising a phoney ethics investigation, forcing Nunes to step down as Chairmen, and putting bondo trey goudy in.
And in the Senate, Graham insisting no hearings, so long as their is an “ongoing investigation” which given what happened during Watergate, is ludicrous.
McConnell and Ryan were the instigators of “the Insurance Policy”, deeply involved from day one (HAD to be) and because they were involved, their participation in the coverup was assured.
And THAT was the kind of ironclad guarantee the actives would need, in order to engage in TREASON.
Clintin campaigns “dirty trick” of the Steele dossier, as a manufactured “Oct. surprise” is now being used asa distraction, conflating one operation with the other; its a ‘shiney object’.
And, regretably its worked.
At least as it stands now, “Muh Russia” will go down in the history books as “a political dirty trick, by the Clinton campaign” rather than Treason by Congressional Leaders of both wings of the Uniparty, using a weoponised DOJ/FBI and I/C to remove a legitimate duly elected President from power.
You are almost always right.
I really hope this time you are not!
So if Bill Bar appointed Durham to have an ongoing investigation after Meuller, does that mean that the Mar-lo-go raid of Trump’s documents, and fighting with the Magistrate to not see the documents, mean that this will be the take over/block because of “investigation”. And from now on before any investigation ends, they will create a new one to block any release of documents involving Trump? They are so dirty and evil!!!
Love that picture of c0mmie 0’Bama 0perative John Brennan — never gets 0ld!
And the Mar-a-Lago raid is to put all of Trump’s documentary evidence into another “investigation” so they cannot be revealed.
What a tangled web. It’s all a game!
Guess what, FATSO BARR, you have done nothing to preserve your beloved DOJ.
Every poll says Americans think it’s crooked.
Well, he did give Epstein the Death Penalty.
But only to protect his pals.
I believe Mueller rarely worked, kept banker’s hours at best and two martini lunches at the finest restaurants while lauded by the DC elite. Had a driver and security.
Weismann ran the show, Mueller was the public face.
The wives are BFFs, do Bible study together?
The Slueths – Undead FOIA, Hans Mahncke, Mccabe’s Porsche on Blocks, etc – think Durham has also blown the Danchenko trial, one item being not providing a motive?
So nothing happens?
The Slueths are good but, unlike Sundance, believed in the “justice system” for a long time before understanding Durham’s real purpose.
Sundance, I love the clarity you bring to this issue!
Clinton acolyte and donor Charles Dolan had more connections to Russia than anyone living and breathing in the Trump campaign. The Russian reset, Uranium One, Skolkovo, Bill’s paid speech in Moscow, her hidden server as SOS indicate real Russian collusion….
There are some good comments here on this post today.
I also remember something about the Communist Goals entered into the Congressional Record years ago.
#35 Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
This development is but another step in that direction.
If one controls an organization and wants to replace it with one more amenable with your goals what would you do different?
Yes–but that was BEFORE Communists took over the Occupation Government.
The FBI used COINTELPRO to chase down Commies. Now the FBI ARE the Commies, using the NAT/SEC Surveillence Apparatus to chase down patriots. They no longer wish to dismantle the FBI since they run it.
I would have to agree with you. This new breed of commies is much more insidious and dangerous.
Recall all the RINOs who wanted to protect the Herr Muller investigation and team. Didnt they even want to write a bill for extra SC protection. Every single one needs to be voted out of office. I am all in for a 2 state country. There is no negotiation with the Left and their cucks the GOP.
No one mentions a big turning point for Barr.
1. Recall his start. What was the PREDICATE? I had never heard that legal bumbo jumbo before.
Then Barr gave an interview in South America, again talking about the predicate, etc. All rather ominous sounding.
2. Then Barr does a 180-degree turn in tone.
I don’t know when or why, but many saw it. One person asked, “Who got to Barr?”
3. Then he says he saw “no proof of fraud” in the 2020 election, when he never looked at anything!
We know his daughter works in the Swamp, probably a son in law, and Durham’s son is a lawyer in the Swamp (both employed by Uncle Sam).
WHO GOT TO BARR, AND WHEN?

“An outrage trap”…
Ugh. Consider me trapped. I’m outraged. Roadraged. Enraged. Can’t help it.
(Brilliant analysis, Sundance.)

Sunny day today with no clouds.
Can’t see any flying pigs yet.
Genovese Family Crime Boss Vinny “The Chin” Gigante puts on his “Confused Grandpa”-act to avoid testifying honestly.
Pictured here, D.C. Syndicate Mob Boss “Dirty Bob” Mueller also puts on his “Confused Grandpa”-act to avoid testifying honestly.
Yes! I did not believe for a second that he had dementia. Thieves are always liars and an experienced liar is also an excellent Actor. 76 years of living has taught me. Oh, the stories I could tell…
The Feds behind the persecution of Trump and team are rotten to the core. The stooges that are ignoring this criminal/seditious activity reminds me of people driving past a dead decaying skunk that’s in the middle of the road pretending not to notice.
I want to scream!! Trump was forever backstabbed by the nation’s highest law enforcement official. Treasonous!
We shall see in the aftermath of the Danchenko trial…. https://badlands.substack.com/p/durham-continues-to-reveal-previously
Durnam can put 100,000 miles on an odometer without getting more than 5 blocks from his s starting point.
God, if you’re listening, Send the Brimstone.
Niccolo Machiavelli was a piker compared to this crew.
Once most Americans completely lose faith in our government the evil in charge will become more overt installing a permanent more openly corrupt government. America is hanging by a thread.
the lou dobbs podcast this week should be especially interesting as the great mr dobbs will no doubt be highlighting this.
last fri fox biz celebrated 15 yrs on air by ringing the stock exchange bell, and recognizing those who made it all happen. glaringly missing – the great mr lou dobbs.
cretins
Gotta acknowledge the good.
Durham is painting a not so pretty picture of the FBI and Mueller’s cleanup team.
Don’t know who’s paying attention and not sure of the motive, although the cynic in me is betting on manipulation, but at least Durham put it out there.
I’ll take it and maybe some new converts.
I have a friend who thinks Brian Cates take on Durham is smarter than all the rest of us combined.
After reading it, I have a question. If this is true, then why hasn’t Biden shut Durham down.
See what you think.
https://briancates.substack.com/p/what-a-remarkably-strange-cover-up
“Stealth Jeff” aka Brian Cates has never been right. His “Trust Sessions” was embarrassing. Sundance has mentioned several times why Durham is not shut down.
Holy mackerel! Brennan can smile!
