As previously noted, the 118th Congress is expected to authorize a “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.” The subcommittee will fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jim Jordan. Additionally, Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being reported as a representative under consideration for the chairmanship the House subcommittee.
In order to avoid another complete waste of time; and considering the background of the current political dynamic which will surround this subcommittee; and considering my accurate predictions for all other special committees and House investigations; and considering that I have ZERO optimism that this committee will generate anything any different than the prior investigative sub and select-committees that preceded it (Fast and Furious, IRS Targeting, Benghazi, etc.); and with full understanding of the complexity of the daunting challenge such an undertaking would require; I have been asked to outline an actual roadmap for success in this noble endeavor.
So, I will…. Even if I believe it is futile.
Let me also say up front that many readers will not like this approach, and most professionally Republican along with media in/around Washington DC will absolutely hate the ideas as they are presented.
Assuming Jim Jordan and Thomas Massie have some grasp of the scale and scope of the opposition they are about to face; and assuming they have a fully prepared staff to support them – willing to take on the most consequential investigation in our lifetimes; then we begin by first defining who will oppose any effort to investigate the “weaponization of government“. Which is to say everyone!
The entire apparatus of the DC political system will do everything in their power, individually and with collective assistance, to ensure this committee fails. The stakes are basically for all the marbles. DC politics is a system of compartmentalized silos. A collection of weaponized institutions that view their common enemy as the American people not within them.
Specifically, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and every Republican member therein, including SSCI Vice-Chairman Marco Rubio, will make it their priority mission to block any investigation that touches on how the intelligence apparatus of the United States government is weaponized against the people. The SSCI facilitated the creation of the National Security State, and any effort to investigate the outcome will make the House investigators mortal enemies to the Senate.
Additionally, every executive branch intelligence institution including the DOJ-NSD, FBI, DHS, ODNI, CIA, DIA, NSC and every sub-agency within their authorities will do anything and everything to block a subcommittee looking into their domestic activity. Every national security justification that exists, and some that have yet to be created by the DOJ National Security Division solely for the expressed interest of blocking this subcommittee, will be deployed.
Every member of the subcommittee and their staff will be under constant surveillance. Phones will be tapped and tracked, electronic devices monitored, cars and offices bugged, physical surveillance deployed, and top tier officials at every subsidiary agency of the U.S. government will assign investigative groups and contract agents to monitor the activity of the subcommittee and provide weekly updates on their findings. The White House together with the National Security Council will also backchannel to and from these agencies doing the surveillance.
The intelligence apparatus media will be deployed, and daily leaks from the various agencies to their contact lists in the New York Times, Politico, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC will be in constant two-way communication for narrative assembly and counterpropaganda efforts.
This is the context of opposition to begin thinking about before anything moves forward.
Additionally, the national security state will demand the House investigation take place on their terms. They will demand secrecy, national security classification and require House subcommittee members to adhere to the Intelligence Community terms for review and discussion of anything.
Each agency will not voluntarily assist or participate in the investigation of any of their conduct. Every official within every agency will do the same; and they will require legal representation that will be provided to them by Lawfare political operatives skilled in the use of “National Security” and “classified information” as a justification for non-compliance and non-assistance. A protracted legal battle should be predicted.
Lastly, anticipate Special Counsel Jack Smith using his position to block the House subcommittee from receiving evidence. The House should anticipate that congressional representatives are already under investigation as a result of the authorities granted to Jack Smith by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco {Go Deep}. The White House and all of the executive branch agencies will use the existing Special Counsel to block House investigation. Heck, that looks to be the primary purpose of the appointment.
As a result, expect the House subcommittee members to be under constant threat from the DOJ, via the Special Counsel, specifically from DAG Lisa Monaco, with statements that House subcommittee investigative efforts are “obstructing” a special counsel investigation. The aforementioned agencies and the Senate intel committee will work with the DOJ to use the Jack Smith special counsel as a shield to block participation with the House subcommittee.
With all of that in mind, what is the successful path forward?
♦ First, the subcommittee needs a communication strategy in place before the rules, terms and member outlines are even contemplated. A communication strategy so that information can come from the committee to the public without the filtration of a corrupt system that will bend and skew the findings as a weapon against the committee itself.
Hire a communication staff and set up a website for the sharing of information directly from the committee to the public. The daily activity of the committee should be shared publicly in granular detail. The witness names as scheduled, documents requested, everything that involves the committee activity should be known to the general public. This system should be updated at least DAILY, or as information is compiled.
This communication network should also contain a separate staff assigned to solicit, accept and distribute information provided by the public to the subcommittee. Yes, you read that correctly, the subcommittee website should be able to accept information provided by the public as it relates to the ongoing committee work. Crowdsource We The People as research leverage against the much more effective Lawfare operations you will face in opposition.
♦ Next, GO PUBLIC with everything. Do not use the terms and conditions of the secretive administrative state. Tell the public what you are finding as you are finding it. You can share information without violating “sources and methods.” Schedule a media appearance at the 8pm hour twice weekly with a high visibility broadcast media network to provide updates and answer questions.
These scheduled appearances should be in addition to random media press releases and press comments as pertinent information to the subcommittee arrives. What this means is that you do not wait to produce a 2,000-page final report before releasing the information. The final report should be an update and summary of all previous findings that have been released to the public along the way.
♦ At the outset, put no rules on media contacts with any subcommittee staff or member. Counter the darkness that fuels the intelligence community agenda with maximum sunlight and transparency. Use truth as a weapon against disinformation. That means no nondisclosure agreements at any part of the process.
Yes, this is radical change in approach, but this is also a radical enemy you are facing. Playing the secrecy game works in their favor, not yours. Transparency is your tool, not theirs – use it.
Every member of the committee can say anything they want about any of the material or witness testimony they hear during the course of the investigation. Public hearing or closed-door sessions, it matters not. The same rule applies. Committee members are completely free to discuss any findings as the information is reviewed.
The goal should NOT BE accountability on those who may have perpetrated or supported weaponized activity against American Citizens. The goal SHOULD BE for maximum public information, transparency and sunlight about the weaponization as it is discovered. This approach makes We The People the accountability portion of the process. As a result, the next section is again rather groundbreaking….
♦ Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding. Again, the goal is transparency and openness, not prosecution and accountability. Use sunlight as a weapon to draw out the truth, then let the American people be the judges of what that truth means when contrasted against the constitution of our nation.
Let me repeat this… There should be ZERO legal liability for any conduct that happened as a part of any witness effort to weaponize the United States government against the American people.
Why this approach? Because (a) it circumvents any issues that might impede testimony, removes hurdles; (b) immunity compels confession, honest sunlight and the urgency of the situation; (c) immunity makes the truth more likely; and finally, (d) you are not going to get legal convictions anyway. The truth has no agenda.
Let’s rip the Band-Aid off and start the process to fix this crap, restore the First and Fourth Amendments and heal the injury.
Remember, from the Church Commission we got the secret FISA court and more tools for violations of our Fourth Amendment rights. From the 911 Commission we got The Patriot Act, DHS, TSA, DNI and many more violations of our rights and Fourth Amendment protections. We do not need any legislation as an outcome of the House “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.”
We do not need your legislative help. All prior legislative help only ended up making things worse. What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become and how that system can be dismantled and destroyed. The existing constitution is the protection, just remove the stuff that is violating it.
I know the approach is rather different from the norm. However, if this roadmap seems reasonable, I am certain you will find a great deal of support from within the system that is currently operating and from people outside the system who will volunteer time and effort to assist.
Summarized: (1) Know the scale of opposition. (2) Formulate a communication strategy around it & build a website. (3) Communicate findings by telling the story to the American people as it is discovered. (4) Grant immunity to all witnesses. (5) Don’t wait until the end to generate another useless report that few will read. (6) Make sunlight the motive of the committee. (7) Consider success when the American people can see the problem. (8) Dissolve any weaponized systems. (9) Don’t create new ones.
If you tell us the truth, We The People will fix it ourselves.

I pray, they take heed to Sundance.
“This approach makes We The People the accountability portion of the process.”
THIS IS WHERE IT BELONGS. at this stage i firmly believe there will be no accountability from any government entity for any thing whatsoever by any party or anyone who is in chargfe of this failed Leviathan.
The people must make clear that they will dispense accountability exclusively, and anyone who would like to be honest about what is happening shall be spared.
we need to start building guillotines on the national mall.
and i don’t mean figuratively with mean tweets.
“Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding.”
The House and House Speaker don’t have the power to grant “full legal immunity”.
That power lies with the Justice Department.
The chances of Garland cooperating are zilch.
What would then happen to all the foreign influence, double citizenship Israelis, and chinese owned properties
that would still be in place. I like sundance idea, but you got to get some of these people off our streets. Its like
shutting down the drug dealer in one place and he moves to the next.
Just as SD FISA opus brought ton DC… and it’s response from governance “it’s all great information BUT we don’t have badges”.
The salient point concerning justice in DC is 1. There is none 2. Nothing compels DOJ to investigate.
In the end it’s a pony show. Congress pretending to do while DOJ and FBI does nothing.
“In the end it’s a pony show.”
I reject the demoralization and defeatist attitude of “it’s a pony show” and pointless.
I want SD to continue writing even though he thinks some of it is pointless and a waste of time.
I want SD to keep writing until his last breath.
I want Republicans to keep fighting for us forever.
Republicans are not Democrats.
Republicans’ House investigations are Different.
There are still heroes in the world and you find them in the Republican party.
Trump is the best example.
PDJT + 20
Trump was an accident they made. He has effectively been neutered except for the spark that stays alive in the hearts and minds of people like us. That accident allowed us to recognize not only that We the People can have some power but it has also shown us how quickly and completely our voices can be squelched and we can be imprisoned.
Too few of us recognize that the federal leviathan can only be opposed “one bite at a time.” That means that federalism is the only avenue that could begin to effect accountability.
Nullification by individual states of the destructive activities of the federal government is where the battle plan needs to begin. I would go a step further to secession, but secession done with strategic planning.
The truth has no agenda.
When government is corrupt truth doesn’t matter, and why bureaucracy doesn’t concern itself with it.
You’re not saying anything new.
What sundance advises is, however, new.
Sounds pretty darn reasonable to me! I especially like the part of full immunity, as no one will every be prosecuted anyway. Sunlight kils germs, let it shine.
Correction: None of the enemy will be prosecuted anyway (the cabal will continue to attempt to prosecute everyone on the side of freedom). So yes, the immunity for the evildoers is actually key.
The transparency will be the only weapon against the cabal.
But so much better than no weapon at all…
It would be truly wonderful to see and hear anything which seemed even a little bit real. We can tell who is faking it. We know that, at this point, it is ALL FAKE Let it all out.
Just turn on the lights and we will find are way thru the smoke
Nicely put!
Sounds like Sundance needs to take his/her research material back to DC, maybe this time people will find it relevant and put it to use. Massive would be good person to start with.
Is it necessary to over complicate things…All of this corruption was to remove the peoples murder weapon who was about to put an end to the deep state. Nothing the swamp tried worked so they implemented the covid hoax as a last resort. The culmination of this was the 2020 election results.
Massie voted to certify a fraudulent election. THEY ALL KNOW IT so stop the pretending.
Its all about the election fraud which continues and covering it up.
Attacking massie for working exposing election fraud is not helping to stop the continuation of election fraud.
Accepting defeat is not an option.
……
“America’s story is far from over”
Yes. All branches of the US “government” and agencies mobilized to disenfranchize Americans. We are occupied. And no, “Joe Biden” is not president, and his “administration” is a traitorous regime, a junta, bent on completely dismantling and selling off what is left of the US. People need to get this through their heads, and then understand that the Kenyan was never “president”, either, and LBJ helped the CIA kill JFK. All theater.
Yep, ELECTION INTERFERENCE on a massive scale. It worked.
As sunlight continues to shine on the RINO’s, how many will resign when it becomes obvious (hopefully) they are eyeball deep in all this criminal activity?
You are the best SD. Excellent well thought out plan and approach. To all those in power please listen and implement. Thank you SD. God bless America.
The Republicans need to immediately impeach Wray, Garland and Mayorkas putting the FBI, DOJ and HHS on the defensive! The Impeachment hearings will totally undercut their agencies power.
The Republicans voted to certify this administration after a blatantly fraudulent election. They are allowing innocent election fraud protestors, good people, to be tortured in prison.
Think deep about what happened in 2020.
dude ya got to play the hand you’re dealt and your whining sadsack routine is tiresome. Go shake your fist at the clouds and stay out of the way.
What do you mean “whining sadsack?” Mass Psychosis is speaking the truth. What if your father, brother, etc. was one of the people whose lives they have ruined to punish Trump supporters? All over a protest rally where people had the audacity to actually enter “The People’s House.” This cannot stand in America.
No it shouldn’t, but you want to give up before we even start?
The Revolution in 1776 didn’t last just one decade. It was decades in the making and another 2 until we got a constitution.
Those who give up at this point have no stamina or heart, and need to stop pissing on the only people trying to right this badly listing ship.
Eventually, you have to put down the hopium pipe.
Reality sucks. But the guy is correct.
You haven’t got a hand, there’s nothing in it. The game is rigged you’ve been robbed and you’re standing at the table wishing it just weren’t so.
I wish it wasn’t either. But the country DIED on 01/06/20.
It’s a walking corpse and just doesn’t know it and refuses to face the facts because they’re too terrible to comprehend.
your nerves are showing… hearing footsteps maybe
I’m speaking plainly so you’ll get it. I don’t care if you don’t want to see reality. Really, doesn’t bother me a bit. Telling someone else they’re a sad sack because they’re realizing just how put a fork in it, it’s done we are….that gets on my nerves because you think you can tell someone else to shut up.
I don’t want to be right, especially about what the only unthinkable option is. We didn’t determine what has to happen , they did. And they’ve told us every step of the way , you’re going to cause violence, you’re going to get people killed.if you say this or think that. Every option has been exhausted. Other than just give up and be slaves. Pretty much if you’re here means you’re not of that mind set. Violence what ever is not the same thing as JUSTICE.
There’s no magical thinking that’s going to keep the sun from showing up on the horizon.
Every option has been exhausted?
Well, the deep state thanks you for recognizing that they cannot be defeated , they cannot be stopped.
It’s encouraging to them that their efforts are working on you.
But not me.
I see reality far differently than you.
I see so many people aware of things today.
Talking about the deep state used to be a very lonely conversation. Not now.
Talking about the unity at the base of both political parties used to be another lonely conversation. Not now.
I have friends that have been Democrats, whose parents were Democrats, now seeing that something has gone terribly wrong.
I see this as a profound change. Something I thought would never happen.
When we are talking about saving EVERYTHING that matters, resigning my self to defeat when I still have a voice is not gonna happen.
Boo boo, let’s just sit around and wallow. That’s your solution?
I think Mass Psychosis is optimistic, but wants people to realize what we currently have in political offices. People are still putting their hope in the Republican party members…even so called tea party or freedom caucus or MAGA members…
There is nothing being said about the corrupt Leviathan at this point that every single person at CTH doesn’t realize. The reiteration is indeed pointless when the only suggestion is to give up.
All I care about is action, however tiny, however fraught with peril, however against all odds.
I don’t think there is really such a thing as “hopium.” We have and will continue to see our hope in all sorts of strategies dashed, every minute, every day. The key is to immediately recognize when they have, let it go, and go on in the very next moment to come up with and work on the next strategy.
Sundance knows this – that’s why he’s created and presented the radical plan described here.
It’s either forward motion (without which any being dies) or despair porn.
I don’t do doom.
Until people face reality, they will not alter their thinking to think outside the system, and what we CAN do to save what we can. What we can set up as individuals to replace our lost/stolen/abandoned systems of civilization…and Christian culture.
Stay out of the way of what? Kabuki theater? A clown show?
And you typing here is getting so much done for the cause haha. Your rudeness isn’t doing much to rally the troops either. When are we going to see YOU on the front lines.
Sorry, but “Mass Psychosis” is reality-based. We are not being dealt any “hands”, we are allowed to watch a pretend “game” televised for our continued distraction from reality.
“Think deeply about what happened in 2020.”
While you’re only thinking deeply about 2020 other people are focusing on what has happened after and new developments.
The twitter FBI revelations are new.
The FBI defense is , “they’re trying to make us look Bad”.
that makes me laugh .!!!!!.
….
Fox news has done a whole documentary on J6th, the Ashley Babbitt murder by capitol police man and political prisoners in isolation with no bail.
…
The Fbi has admitted the cover of the laptop to help Biden win the election and Fox news points out this is illegal.
FOX news is asking the right questions.
This is all public knowledge and the Republican committee will use this to their advantage in press conferences and ask the questions Democrats forbid Republicans to ask.
You are completely correct that these are all the new developments that are to our advantage to work with.
One small correction – it’s not Fox News that has made these revelations – it’s Tucker Carlson himself, because they still want the $$ he brings and so they let him have a long leash.
As we so often say about Putin – Paul Ryan and the Murdochs are not our friends.
But Tucker is another story, one I enjoy more every day.
And yes, that means to keep a weather eye upon him too.
Tucker is just limited hangout.
You ought to be the leader of an American Jacobin movement.
Fear of the guillotine will not engender sunlight.
Actually, removing some of the ringleaders from power may provide a sense of safety for people farther down the food chain to come forward.
If you were to pitch out Wray, you’d probably have to boot Bowdich too.
Who is going to remove him?
I think he can be impeached since his nomination required confirmation by the senate.
Of course, he serves at the pleasure of the occupant in the White House.
It’d be awesome if the committee could get warrants, subpoenas and wiretaps on DOJ/IC. One can dream.
Likely there are other plans in the works.
Sigh…yes 😠
Yep, they’re lazy. Very.
Let’s work with that angle too.
Great cartoon!
This is exactly what Sundance is saying when he says “No legal liability.” If it becomes about impeachments, then there is legal liability and everything goes into secrecy mode. Nothing will be made public. Lawfare will be weaponized and the same old, same old sweep it all under the rug will take place.
The only way forward is to make it all public. Full disclosure to the public. Not for any agenda and not for legal liability of any of these characters. That is the only way everything can possibly be revealed.
An impeachment requires only a majority in the House, but it requires 2/3 of the Senate to remove any of these people. That is NOT going to happen. So, impeachment is a waste of time and while you are wasting tax dollars and time, everything is going under the rug again and nothing is revealed.
No! Just putting Wray, Garland and Mayorkas on trial in the House of Representatives dragging in witnesses and evidence from Twitter, Facebook and Google. Expose all of the corruption in the Russian Collusion Dossier Hoax and January 6th murder of Ashley Babbitt will put them through a ringer. Remember the only people facing consequences are Wray, Garland and Mayorkas.
Ashli Babbitt.
.
Perhaps the suggestion can be made, that, although these ‘witnesses’ will be granted legal immunity, surely their ‘disappointment’ in being forthcoming to this committee does not in any way preclude them from retiring and getting the heck out of we the people’s lives . . .
Interesting idea.
For example, FauxChi is now exposed and thinks retirement/obscurity will save him. But the tsunami of deaths for which he is responsible is waiting for him in the long run.
If we have success with sunlight, retribution can be on the table at a later time.
Sunlight first.
Great, Sundance!!
6) Make sunlight the motive of the committee.
If I could like this comment 1000x I would, for in it lies the answer to almost every problem that we as a nation face, IMHO!!
Always have and always will from the way things are going; or maybe I should say have been going. Things might change, but not likely any time soon.
I’m thinking head fake, Durham investigations.
Nada, zilch, nothing going to happen.
Ok. Enjoy your nap.
Granting broad immunity is an idea worth considering… however no immunity for perjury.
But if a witness perjury himself, or herself, before this subcommittee, the offer of immunity would be forfeit.
Would need to be able to interview whistleblowers in confidence.
Why? We have whistleblower laws against retaliation, let’s use them. Fire their bosses that try to retaliate. Bonus!
The FBI has a bad culture. Fire Wray first for lying to Congress and other derelictions of duty. Get him out of there and see if more people will come forward. That alone should help.
If people are supposed to testify in a public setting or have their interview transcripts released quickly, that will be a problem for the people who want to retain their same jobs in their same settings. There will be retaliation. Guaranteed. Good performance evaluations will take plunges and whistleblowers will be marginalized or put into untenable positions. If they cannot speak in confidence, they might not speak at all.
I don’t think the Congress has authority to fire anyone.
This is a baby-steps approach.
If you don’t take prisoners, no one surrenders. People willing to surrender saves your forces bitter fighting. Also tends to slow them down if there’s too many to process.
Call in Wray to testify. When he lies or refuses to answer, cut the FBI budget 10%.
Repeat as necessary.
Demand of Wray that all GS15 Agency employees undergo a poly, background reinvestigation, and detailed financial disclosure. When Wray refuses, remove FBI authority to make arrests.
Continue this way until we get the truth there is no FBI.
Use the hammer that you have.
“truth or there”
Libs need those pillows to cry into.
btw. I suggested to MyPillow that they make a mattress that will hold currency and valuables, in zippered compartments, for the coming hard times.
NOT if they properly send the OMNIBUS to SCOTUS for constitutional review….Spending bills CANNOT originate in the US Senate
Sure. Start that in October of this year. Preferably on October 2 (a Monday) at 6 am.
Keep in mind that Pelousy’s ghost has her gnarled hand on the Congressional purse now until the last day of September.
38 weeks and 1 day, start counting now…
It’s winter, aren’t you cold under that bridge…
lol I guess you enjoy the Pfizer commercials?
Idk. I find the Shannon Klingsmith “selfie” Lumey buttcrack deodorant commercials much more nausea inducing. What the heck is the crotch odor scale, and who and how is this being measured?
Id like to see ‘six ways from Sunday’ turned right back into their evil faces.
BRAVO. “ You ARE NOT IN TROUBLE – til YOU LIE to Me and I Find Out “
– Heard this growing up once or Twice –
Yeah- It’s either “come to Jesus” or “come to Daddy”.
For the amount of 💰 we pay,we should have clowns on tricycles and jugglers at intermission! Honk Honk!
I think this is a brilliant plan, I would love to know what goes on and have the information for all to see, instead of feeling like we are never told the truth, that we can’t trust our government, Jim Jordan is a hard working honest pro AMERICA person, and I know he will do a great job with this, we need to support him also on the website they set up, I am excited for a change for the better, GOG BLESS THE USA and all of the honest hardworking people working fo US!!I will be anxiously waiting !!!
Don’t hold your breath waiting..
Well, you did lay it all out there plain as day.
Perfect in every way.
Except the House can’t grant “full legal immunity”.
Sorry, the plan is a non- starter.
“………..and most professionally republican along with media in/around Washington DC will absolutely hate the ideas as they are presented.”
Well, then you can count me as one of the supporters of these ideas.
Gotta admit, though. When I first read the title of the thread I thought wait, since when do they need to form a committee to do this? The federal government has already been weaponized.
It seems the Church Committee was different – had some teeth.
I hope to learn more about its history in the coming days.
My optimism level is the same, zilch.
Even if it were possible to put together an honest group made up of congresspersons, the staff that they would be provided would certainly be working for the other side so before a page is even typed to the bottom of the page, the information, sources and game plan would be in enemy hands for them to plan their counter attack.
I suspect that the staff of what few MAGA congress members there are have already been compromised which would explain the efficacy of the enemy.
It will be another Warren Commission Report.
” I have ZERO optimism that this committee will generate anything any different than the prior investigative sub and select-committees that preceded it . … … … I have been asked to outline an actual road map for success in this noble endeavor. So, I will…. Even if I believe it is futile.”
And here I thought I was a pessimist. I still think I’m a pessimist, but am now left in the dust in the Pessimist Sweepstakes. .
Realism and pessimism are not the same
By the same token, realism and optimism are not the same.
Futile it is.
Indeed. Observing the dire nature of the threat in its 100% raw entirety and still coming up with a plan…
…that’s realism. And that’s sundance.
Optimism and pessimism are emotions. I find the latter annoying, which is another emotion. I just try to find the humor in it when it gets egregious.
But action or inaction is realism.
And inaction while clinging to pessimism is in my opinion utterly useless if one’s goal is freedom.
Very well put. I want a plan of action that a large portion of us can engage in. We cannot keep pointing out the reality without doing something about it. We are the vastly greater majority!
Sounds good. What are the odds they do it any differently than they have in the past? Whose decision is it?
This is a brilliant point and deserves reiteration here in the comment section. At the top of that paragraph, I was momentarily scratching my head… But as you point out, any prosecution against a democrat in the D.C. venue is absolutely futile.
edit: blockquote not showing up correctly
I’m not entirely convinced that it is advantageous to give away bargaining chips, even if they are small ones.
If Kevin Clinesmith didn’t even get disbarred, how much are those bargaining chips really worth? There are literally OIG reports confirming his behavior, his own admission of guilt, and yet no jail time, community service, or even loss of his bar license!
Yes. I agree with sundance’s strategy on this point.
When has any bargaining chip between Pubs and Dems ever been a benefit to the American people?
Treason doesn’t get a DC trial. Crimes against humanity doesn’t get a DC trial.
Do you really think these “agencies” who have been involved in every major world event in at least the last 60 years, resulting in hundreds of millions of deaths should get off scot free?
Should the people who want to see you and your family dead in order to implement a globalist “new world order” be able to say “my bad” and walk away?
The stakes are way too high for mere mea culpas.
Sundance did not suggest “doesn’t,” ever.
His strategy is only a starting point.
This whole thing is just more pretending
I wish the never ending insanity would stop.
You’re mad. I’m mad. We’re all mad, otherwise we wouldn’t be here.
Interesting, it seems to me we are hearing more about the Church Committee that once upon a time looked into things but
“(Fast and Furious, IRS Targeting, Benghazi, etc.)”
not so much!
If the earth-shaking “discoveries” and cautionary tales of the Church Committee yielded a “road map” to follow to avoid such things as we see now, I think the “road map” got tossed in the service station washroom!
Some guys – and gals – just don’t want to follow directions and “rules” – like those set forth in our Constitution – are not for them!
I think it’s an excellent plan. If anything, the IC’s perfidious methods could open the committee’s eyes to their treachery. Perhaps there will be a few with the courage to fight back.
And any actions against the members would be cause for an expanded investigation and further transparency.
I actually think the chances of any more heroes in the DC swamp is quite small…
…and what sundance is looking to do here is to build the sunlight to where it is visible to a great many more of Us the People.
However, the 20 person revolt we saw last week fomented and did what (granted little) it could in a matter of weeks. So you never know what else may erupt.
Those here reminding us of the slow start to the original American Revolution are correct. It took a long time!
There is no 21st-century-style instant gratification possible.
I was thinking about that just last night, how many years and insults from the monarchy it took before our founders had enough.
They started slowly in small pockets, trusted friends and family, rumblings of unrest, until suddenly, they acted.
I am reading more and more rumblings of unrest…
Sounds like Sundance has become at least something of a determinist.
In the mind there is no absolute nor free will; but the mind is determined to wish this or that by a cause, which has also been determined by another cause, and this last by another cause, and so on to infinity.– Baruch Spinoza
We must believe in free will, we have no choice.
– Bashevis Singer
“Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding. Again, the goal is transparency and openness, not prosecution and accountability. Use sunlight as a weapon to draw out the truth, then let the American people be the judges of what that truth means when contrast against the constitution of our nation.”
Perhaps the most important element in this investigation.
This might effectively be an impossible task for us to see through.
Though, not for the Lord of Hosts. A restoration is sorely needed and prayers may yet heal our lands of what ails it.
How many are willing to do what is asked of them?
Wow, novel approach, entirely sensical, and God I hope Jordan and Massie read it.
I also hope Tucker reads it, discusses it.
If you were asked to go on Tucker’s show, Sundance, would you? I know you’ve said they know you in DC, but I would imagine, since you are still using a pseudonym, that you find life is easier not going by your name.
Would you appear behind a screen if Tucker wished to interview you?
Huh? “Sundance” isn’t his name???
Gowdy showed Jordon and Massie the instruction manual on how to camaflouge an investigation. Look for more of the same. These nitwits will never change without the application of tar and feathers.
“Schedule a media appearance at the 8pm hour twice weekly with a high visibility broadcast media network…”
Just not with CNN or MSNBC or PBS.
Start on RAV.
I honestly hope and pray this subcommittee will hire Kash Patal and Ezra Cohen-Watnick as a part of their investigative team.
Exactly my thought too. I don’t know what Ezra Cohen-Watnick is doing right now but Kash does not have a job with the federal government. He may be willing to go back to work for this subcommittee. That would gain him more credit toward a federal retirement.
John Ratcliffe is probably busy making a bazillion dollars with his speaking and consulting. However, he made a bazillion dollars as an attorney for a few years after being a US Attorney and before going to congress. He said that he gave it up before because he had enough money and wanted to be a part of the solution in our government. He may be willing to go to Washington again. He and Kash already have high level clearances.
Natalie Winters from Warroom would also be excellent and/or Julie Kelly from American Greatness!
Those two would be great communicators with good backgrounds in the subject matter.
And Darren Beattie.
Quite interesting that as I read this post, I don’t feel that it is directed at myself as a reader, but at those reading, that will BE on these committees that our friend Sundance has discussed! 😉
I know Bannon reads SD and hoping/praying that some in our gov’t do as well…
Well, we certainly know the FIB reads here!
😆 😆 😆
Since much of this involves spying on Americans and censoring their first amendment rights, I wonder if the House can refer if there are potential criminal charges to State AG’s since individual citizens may have been harmed and we know the Feds can’t investigate/prosecute themselves?
That would contradict the immunity required to enable testimony.
As Sundance said, their job is sunlight, what comes after is our job.
That can surely include prosecutions, but keeping the committee out of that business allows them to focus on the destruction of the agencies, a far more important outcome than any number of gallows.
It’s hard to imagine anything coming of all this. What do we have? Twenty brave souls against the rest of congress, the senate, the white House, the three letter departments populated with deep staters. I wish I could believe that truth of any consequence will be revealed. We haven’t gotten the truth on JFK, Bobby, Martin, 911, Benghazi, Covid, the 2020 election, J6, the 2022 election and these are just the tip of the iceberg. What makes anyone think that we will be able to bring any hidden truth to light? I don’t see any path for this to happen; I wish I could believe otherwise.
Past is the best predictor of the future.
Right up to a present moment when it suddenly…isn’t.
I’m seeing some history rhyming:
In 1852 the Whig Party was strong.
In 1855 and 1866 there was a drawn-out (record) number of vote challenges to the Speaker of the House.
In 1860 the Whigs went belly-up.
And we know what happened after that.
Fourth Turning….
One of the most important principles of Christianity is forgiveness.
ALSO accountability….NEVER forget at Judgement you will be revealed for your sins and your works in service to the Lord will be revealed as well….the unsaved will rightly receive their due punishment for unrepented sins…..the Christian also knows even in this life there is no free ride for your sin even if you can get right with Christ over them there is still a price for sin here…….as one of my old Pastors used to say the price of sin is higher than we would like to pay, last longer than we would wish it to last, and cause more damage to those around us then we could ever imagine
I absolutely love this series. It is simply beautiful.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean one goes unpunished
Brilliant analysis and advice SD. You’re the most rational voice in American politics today
That is so true, Kenji.
And a very nice thing to say to Sundance.
We all need to support what CTH is doing here. It’s the best option we have at this point.
As usual sundance has come up with a prudent course of action based on reality.
(Don’t forget the tip jar.)
I hope they also look into this……..

So no military triibunals at Guantanamo?
Darn, Jeff Sessions will take this hard..
The J6 Kamgaroo Court was very much like a military tribunal.
Largely predetermined verdict, no presumption of innocence, secret ‘evidence’, public proceedings only as a staged event. In sum, a military tribunal is a political weapon just like the J6 Kangaroo Court and the political prisoners that went along with it.
That sounds like good advice.
“What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become and how that system can be dismantled and destroyed. “
This is the language that causes everyone to freak out and close ranks. They hear “dismantled and destroyed” and “dissolve any weaponized systems” and they hear “dissolve the FBI” and “dissolve CIA.” If the committee wants to get anything done it must make it clear that is NOT where they are going, that they are focused on modifying procedures and practices that violate the constitution, not elimination of the agencies in which they took hold.
God, family, USA, The West. The rest of the world can go F itself.
I have problems with the generalizations that get expressed as a result of individual misdeeds. I care about illegal surveillance of Americans and attempts to manipulate elections. But the rest of the world is a cold, dark, dangerous place filled with monsters who would kill us if given a chance, and the American IC has to operate in that world in order to protect the safety of Americans. Beyond America’s borders I don’t much give a shit how they do it.
Western Civilization? True, it has permitted itself to be hijacked to a degree by non-Christians, atheists, perverts, futurists and globalist crackpots. But that doesn’t mean we just abandon the West any more than we should disband the IC. The “You can’t handle the truth” speech goes on to state that deep down in places you don’t want to talk about you WANT me on that wall; you NEED me on that wall. Well, that’s also the American IC. You don’t disband the army just because the CJCOS has gone off the reservation and pledged his loyalty to a foreign power in direct opposition to his own president, and you don’t throw out the IC because they have been permitted to be run off the rails by bad management.
Oh, and just for good measure: F Vladimir Putin.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Thank you.
I removed….
Thanks for explaining your reason.
Just couldn’t resist throwing in the F Putin, could ya?
No, I couldn’t. I have been signing my comments “Trump 2024.” I may add FVP to that. Thanks for the suggestion.
“But the rest of the world is a cold, dark, dangerous place filled with monsters who would kill us if given a chance…”
Don’t Russians share similar views, courtesy of NATO?
Oh but wait, they’re the bad guys. And if it wasn’t for good guys like Nuland “on the wall” in Kyiv they’d surely have overrun half of Europe by now and rolling their tanks through New York.
Sorry. Regurgitate your Cold War nonsense somewhere else.
YOU go somehere else. I like it here.
I suspect every country views the rest of the world as hostile to its own existence. They should. It’s not Bambi World out there.
That was the genius of Trump. When Obama left office he told Trump he would likely be at war with N Korea. Nope. The opposite. Trump turned foreign policy upside down, and instead of compiling long grievance lists to argue over he sought those places where interests converged, like EVERY businessman putting together a business deal. Of course State Dept, whose entire reason for existence had devolved into grievance list compilation, had a conniption.
Putin hates the West and seeks to reassemble the Soviet Empire. If you think otherwise you are delusional and have read NONE of his speeches. Deny it at all our peril. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be dealt with, and not with tanks. Europe should NEVER have allowed itself to become totally dependent on Russia for oil and gas. Deluded Bambi World leadership. The WEF globalists are all Bambi Worlders. Communist China hates the West, but we have been doing business with them (often foolhardily and in total disregard for our own national security in products such as medicine and chips) for half a century.
And I only inssert FVP because I get so frustrated with all the America hate and Putin ass kissing in the comments here.
Disagree. Dismantling and destroying them in their present forms is only logical given the level of rot. They need a full rip-and-replace remodel.
It does not presuppose that we won’t also remodel intelligence into something that returns to working only on outward threats to the nation.
As far as a national police force that ends up deployed against American citizens – I think there could be something far better than that. The FIB used to stick to actual crime like bank robbery. That’s exactly what we need to go back to.
However, all of this is dependent on what We the People will do with the sunlight exposing the rot. The termites won’t get rid of themselves.
Interesting thoughts. Perhaps FBI should be divided into two agencies, one to pursue domestic crimes and profile, like bankf robbers and catching killers like the guy from Idaho, the other to pursue the domestic side of intelligence work the CIA is prohibited from doing, like tracking terrotists and spies who slip in. But even that doesn’t aswer the question of where do drug cartels fit. But I still see it as a reorganization and redeployment (with some high profile firings to make clear the violation of citizens’ constitutional rights will not be tolerated) rather than an abolition. An abolition and replacement, perhaps. As far as CIA. perhaps a refucus on human sources,with the tech side done by military? We may already be there, but interfering in US elections and sabotaging elected presidents must be met with more high profile firings.
I totally agree with this approach. Show the vampire the sun…
Aint gonna happen, theywill be investigated bydoj before it even starts. See Nunez.
The narrative creation that the 20 holdouts are crazy, radical, grandstanders has already gotten traction. We will hear phrases like “the embattled Matt Gaetz, who spent 2021 settling lawsuits . . . Blah, Blah” about all of the holdouts. Our tax dollars will pay for FBI teams to investigate them and not the least among the enemies who will try to derail their work will be House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. God bless them.
No time for Pravda media fables now.
Or …. Putin could just nuke dc. It’s a more realistic option of cleaning the sewer up.
There is nothing else on this earth that will make this right .
They all have to go.
That may be the most irresponsible thing I have read all week. If you hate America that much there are flights leaving for other countries every hour.
Sorry. The truth hurts.
Can they subpoena the entire UTAH NSA Building and Computers and all Communications for the past 6 years?
I expect “Russia” will target it with a nuclear device.
“Problem” solved.
May the odds be ever in their favor. 😐
