Sunlight is the best disinfectant; this core and essential truism will never be defeated.
People have asked for a summary of the current status of Special Counsel Jack Smith and the background of what is happening within the investigation as it takes place in the shadows of the DC schemes. So here’s an analysis and review of: (a) the corrupt endeavor that Jack Smith represents; and (b) the problem he will never overcome in his quest to use lawfare tactics against President Donald Trump.
Two points, at the outset of this outline. First, if you know anyone better acquainted with the granular issues at the core of this investigation than me; or if you know someone who has a documented day-by-day research library of the events discussed as they unfolded; let me know who they are, and I will talk to them. Second, if you think John Durham is on some quest to provide justice where the landscape is filled with injustice, you need to reevaluate your position, it’s wrong.
To the second point, stop kidding yourself with false doses of hopium. Special Counsel John Durham exists for the exact same reason the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann special counsel existed. The goal of the silo defenses is to protect Washington DC from the disinfecting sunlight you are about to read. However, in the bigger picture there is nothing these Machiavellian conscripts can do to change the substantive truth.
In the most recent development the New York Times is reporting, “Boris Epshteyn, a top adviser to former President Donald J. Trump, is scheduled to be interviewed on Thursday by prosecutors in the office of the special counsel Jack Smith.” {link} Let me write the remainder of this summary from the perspective that Jack Smith has a big problem; his problem is the truth of events that protects Donald Trump.
In 2016 and 2017 the combined corrupt weight of multiple DC institutions, that includes the intelligence community, DOJ, FBI, Obama White House, legislative leadership, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the political apparatchiks around the Democrat machinery, all colluded to illegally and unconstitutionally spy on the presidential campaign of Donald J Trump. Their activity culminated in the fraudulent Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy and fake 2016 election Russian interference claims.
Everything created as an outcome of this spying, surveillance and ultimately the Trump-Russia narrative, was built on fraud. Even the casual observers now admit it was political weaponization of government institutions to illegally target political opposition. In May of 2017 Robert Mueller was installed to cover up this operation. The lawfare team put into place by the system operators who were at greatest risk from discovery, was headed by Andrew Weissmann. Mueller represented the face, but Weissmann was the lead operative constructing the coverup operation.
♦ Declassification #1 – In 2018, as the details of the fraud began to surface, President Trump -directly, and through his White House counsel- told then Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to declassify all of the information and the paper trail of mounting investigative documents so the American people could see what happened. Rosenstein informed President Trump the Weissmann/Mueller team would consider declassifying information “obstruction of their investigation.”
The position of the Mueller probe was again the coverup operation, which would be threatened by any declassification of evidence. The threat of obstruction was leveraged to keep the sunlight away, while the second phase of the Trump removal operation was ongoing. Facing this threat, President Trump was told to wait until Mueller was complete.
♦ Declassification #2 – Bill Barr is appointed Attorney General in 2019 and was told again -directly by Trump, and through his White House counsel- that all documents related to the illegal spying and targeting operation were to be declassified and released to the public. The Mueller/Weissmann investigation concluded, Bill Barr was instructed to release the declassified evidence.
Attorney General Bill Barr informed President Trump directly and through counsel, that Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz was conducting an internal investigation, and the prior Mueller/Weissmann probe had blocked the OIG from access to certain sensitive documents.
Additionally, to provide further “assurances,” which were really delays protecting the DC institutions, AG Barr appointed an independent U.S. Attorney from Connecticut named John Durham to investigate the claims in the background of the Trump-Russia fraud.
Similar to the prior position of DAG Rosenstein concerning the Mueller probe, AG Barr now told President Trump that any declassification of documents could be considered an impediment to the Durham investigation, and concurrently IG Horowitz would be conducting additional internal review, which was likely to provide the sunlight that President Trump was demanding. After all, Horowitz didn’t get to see the stuff Weissmann was hiding, and presumably now he could.
Frustrated, yet still retaining his position on the declassification of documents, President Trump accepted the issue as presented. In May of 2019, President Trump in combination with White House counsel, issued an executive memorandum giving AG Bill Barr the executive and legal authority to declassify the evidence in order to provide it to both IG Michael Horowitz and USAO John Durham.
Important NOTE: Notice that twice President Trump has ordered the declassification of documents, and also deferred the timing so that he did not interfere with ongoing investigations. The declassification of documents exists, AND, the deference to avoid legal exposure within an “obstruction” threat exists. Both of these lawfare attack angles are the issues at the core of what Special Counsel Jack Smith is currently attempting to construct.
It is important at this juncture to apply hindsight to what was taking place, and to accept the reality of how corrupt the system truly is.
AG Bill Barr appointed John Durham specifically to continue representing a legal block that would stop President Trump from unilaterally declassifying information. Let me be very specific, Attorney General Bill Barr appointed John Durham to maintain the “obstruction” threat.
Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, Michael Horowitz, Bill Barr, John Durham and now, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith, were/are all attempting to defend the institutional interests of a comprehensively corrupt Washington DC political apparatus. All of these participants were/are involved in one long continuum of an effort to hide the corruption and protect the institutions. The weaponized institutions of government, and the evidence of that corrupt activity, are what they are protecting.
♦ Declassification #3 – Following the 2020 election, and again with the advice of White House counsel as the guide, President Trump declassified for the third time the documents that show the illegal weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, ODNI, SSCI and larger Intelligence Community (IC). Again, with the threat of “obstruction” as the overlay, on the final day in office President Donald J Trump left these instructions for the U.S. Attorney General:
To date, none of these documents have been released.
Copies of these declassified documents are what the FBI was trying to track down in the raid of Mar-a-Lago.
The position of the DOJ, through Special Counsel Jack Smith, is that President Trump did not declassify the documents; and that President Trump is obstructing the U.S. government from the process of controlling and securing documents they intend to keep hidden from the public.
The position of President Trump is that everything was declassified, and all of the participants within the process of declassification can attest to the intent of the declassification process itself. Additionally, it is clear by the actions of President Trump within the deferral process he followed, that President Trump was never trying to obstruct any investigation, and though the use of “obstruction” was simply a weaponized threat (ie. Lawfare) to protect corrupt institutions, Trump never stepped into that trap.
At the essential core of the issue, TRUTH is a problem for Special Counsel Jack Smith. All of the participants within the process will attest to the basic outline as presented above.
Yes, President Trump declassified documents showing how the apparatus of the United States government was illegally weaponized against him. And yes, simultaneously President Trump deferred public release of those documents to avoid the DOJ obstruction threat. This is the problem that Jack Smith keeps running into.

Ask yourself, is Obama tearing his hair out after reading this?
“the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann special counsel”
The thing that always amazes me is that these clowns spent two years and millions of dollars investigating RUSSIAN!!! collusion and never managed to uncover the fact that it was a hoax paid for by Hillary and the DNC. I want my money back.
They KNEW it, from the start, so there was nothing to uncover.
Their task was 1) to block any investigations into the hoax, by “muh, ongoing investigation.”
2) to leak as much defamatory lies about PDJT to an eager to help media, to lower PDJT’s support SO THAT the Senate Repubs could SAY they were prepared to vote to convict, in order to force PDJT to resign.
3) as part of 1&2, to try to get PDJT in an “Obstruction trap” by, for example getting him to fire Mueller and team, because of the PERCEPTION of the Nixon friday nite massacre, despite the reality he was legally entitled to,…
and/or get him in a perjury trap, or paint him as “obstructing the investigation” (which they then conflate as Obstruction of Justice) in order to manufacture the APPEARANCE of grounds for Impeachment.
That he successfully navigated thru the series of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t!” traps they set for him, without getting caught is yet another in a string of MIRACULOUS outcomes spiraling off of PDJT, since the escalator ride.
All very very true and their unsuccessful efforts to entrap PDJT were not for want of trying They tried their damndest to get/ manufacture/ manipulate that result.. and became all the more vicious because of their failure ..
Yes, The escalator. I made a visit to Trump Tower in NYC to buy my MAGA Trucker Hat. Proudly wore it all though out the City and it was well received!
Praise God. The process has opened many eyes that were shut tight.
Mission Accomplished.. obstruct Trump…
The failure of Jeff Sessions caused all of this mess. What useless piss-ant Session turned out to be.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I’m NOT going to defend sessions…clearly the little guy is unexcusable.
but I will say this. It’s unlikely ANYONE, no matter WHO they were as AG would have made a single difference.
it’s important to accept that the Attorney General while an agency head, is NOT the most powerful and almighty decision maker.
look at the long history of Attorney Generals…I mean the very long list of people who held the spot.
what you find, time after time, without exception is that “the agency” operates as it suits itself…and usually that means the agency head is more or less a mullet.
the fact is, that for a very long time, the DOJ and director of FBI have been nothing more than the work of a very tight group of unelected officials that have real names…but many of which none of us even know those names. These are the people calling the shots…doing the deep state business…straight up full on, no stop gangsters.
pick ANY attorney general and I will show you someone who is going to be controlled…cornered and threatened with danger (grave dangers..is there any other kind?) by those who control the power of those agencies…
this is the state of institutionalized corruption within (and outside of) these agencies….it’s literally hundreds, thousands of people who conspire night and day, with no vacations off to maintain walls…walls that are not built to protect you or the integrity of the institutions…walls not built to develop trust and honor and openess…
walls that are developed and fiercely defended to protect THEM!
these are unchecked, unchallenged power deciders. We tend to think of these people as lawyers..the types we see on the tv appearing before congress, on the talk shows.
these ARE NOT the power decision makers….these are the front runners..the political characters.
what I am talking about is a secret police spy state..
some call it the illuminati…the bilderbergers…the wef…davos crowd…deep state…globalists.
everyone as a description..some vague definition.
but the reality is that these people ARE NOT PART of this government. They are outside the lines of law…
back in the day, we called them “the star chamber” from a movie meme.
many of these people are former military intelligence types and cia types…they travel wherever, whenever however they wish. Now, you might be thinking…hogwash…this sounds like bogeyman.
I am stating explicitly that is exactly what these people are. These are the people that operate behind the highest and most heavily defended walls of classification. They do so, because they can. They have power. They are feared because those in politics that get elected soon find out…you will either support and defend these walls, or prepare to be taken down.
schumer told a truth a while back and many people did not really understand exactly what he meant. Schumer was saying…I KNOW HOW VENGEFUL these people are. He said the quiet thing out loud. Six ways to sunday.
these are people that start secret wars…sabotage oil pipelines…manipulate and defraud elections…install political people…king makers and king managers. These are people who allow monsters like epstein to ride for free for decades because he was a useful reprobate that could be used to manipulate and compromise political people…to get them back in line. These are the people who admire soros…embrace his communism…do business with ccp against the interests of the US…who abuse the law..allow monsters to ride for free so they can create destructive rights stealing policies.
they don’t fear you and me….at this point, the entire thing is just one big game…how much more can we steal away.
and this isn’t just here in the US…it’s worldwide. It’s largely the ultra wealthy…they use their power of wealth..the ability to control entire markets to influence just about anything they choose. and they have been choosing wide and long.
When WE THE PEOPLE finally realize just who these people are…and how they have highjacked this nation.
we will feel pain…a lot of it.
then the transfer of power and the war that follows begins.
right now..we are focused on the political skirmish and have missed the woods.
God Bless America
Excellent. But didn’t the transfer of power occur when Biden’s team usurped the office of POTUS? The coup occurred already and we are feeling it. We do not know how far they will go, so, some continue in freedom and some go grey man and some continue unwittingly as before. They say Biden’s team is trying to give WHO power over all citizens of USA. Does Biden’s team actually have the authority to do that? Will citizens allow it? Power is a funny thing, sometimes its like herding cats and sometimes it is quietly putting things in order.
Why not include Obama in the Carlyle Group. Anyone want to know who had Thanksgiving with the founder of the Carlyle Group. Hint: just one big happy family.
Obama Nominates Carlyle Group Partner to The Federal Reserve
Activist Post
While on vacation in Hawaii, Obama tapped Jerome Powell to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Powel served as the undersecretary for finance under the president George H. W. Bush and was a partner of The Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is a massive private equity firm and one of the largest defense contractors in the world.
They’re made up of some of the most influential policymakers over the last five administrations including both Bush presidents, former Secretary of State James Baker III, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, former Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, and former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt to name a few.
Other notable investors in The Carlyle Group include the bin Laden family and the Saudi Royal Family. Coincidentally, George H. W. Bush was meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington on the morning of September 11th with one of Osama Bin Laden’s brothers.
Watch the documentary below for some more background on the Carlyle Group:
This is not the first time Barack Obama has placed Bush Sr.’s minions into influential positions. In August 2010, Daniel F. Akerson, a managing director of the Carlyle Group, in what was called a “surprise move” was named the CEO of General Motors (GM), otherwise known as Government Motors.
Once again, Obama reveals that change will remain absent under his leadership, and the military-industrial complex will continue to garner powerful positions during his administration.

Actually, Obama’s administration DID make some big changes, but maybe it was their incompetence in Benghazi that was just so striking.
I want to watch the documentary on the Carlyle Group
I hope and pray that you’re right in your assessment, because other true patriots like Julie Kelly over at AG, don’t share in your optimism. In a recent article she stated that the A Bragg case was merely an appetizer, with Smith’s case providing the main course. She’s highly concerned about where this is going and the dangers it poses to Trump and the MAGA movement.
One aspect that you failed to address is J6. It’s my understanding that Smith is also working on a J6 angle, concocting a narrative where Trump masterminded the J6 Fedsurrection… in essence his own personal attempt at a coup. Ridiculous, I know, but with willing and able people throughout the swamp to bolster that narrative, assistance from the deep state/media/DOJ etc it doesn’t seem too far fetched that he could concoct a case, presented before a handpicked DC Judge/Jury that resulted in his conviction.
As Trump inches closer to securing the R nomination and we move closer to Election Day, the stakes go up. A desperate left is capable of any and all evil
and the despicable left is quite capable of making great and deep strategic mistakes.
this time around, given almost every sane person KNOWS that joe malarkey the stupid was not elected, the cheat will have to be something so obviously gigantic there will be no room for disbelief.
we are heading to war. It’s just that simple.
let the deep state corruptors play their hand. it’s all they have left…it’s the only thing that can keep them in power.
challenge accepted.
We don’t JUST HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP as our leader.
WE HAVE A NATION THAT HAS AWAKEN TO THE REALITY that the issued blue pills don’t work…
it’s hard to imagine but this fight from this point leading to 2024 will be the highest stakes for the secret police spy state.
j6 was only a small group that threw themselves into a open display of withdrawn consent.
leading up to 2024, we will see demonstrations of power the likes of which this country has not seen since the beginning of the revolutionary war.
the pain is coming…ready or not.
stay frosty
God Bless America
Desperate people do desperate things. If all else fails, they will resort to the JFK solution. Keep the top on the car Boss.
President Trump has no fear. He goes into crowds anywhere and everywhere. I’m sure he is his secret service agents’ most difficult job. I can only assume he is clothed in the armor of his faith in God.
That would make him a martyr and they know it. That would make most of us ungovernable. It’s a very edgy way for them to go, they are used to it being easy.
They may try this, but it will ultimately not provide them the cover/result that they desire. It will leave them trying to herd cats when attempting to rule over citizens.
The obstruction of justice threat prohibiting disclosure needs to be challenged.
Obstruction of justice goes both ways.
Do not insult Granny like that!
Ahhhh… good call…
Oh dear. I have nothing good to write tonight. I’ll just send prayer requests and a contribution to Sundance and CTH instead. Praying for Sunlight! The VERY BEST DISINFECTANT.
What good will the truth be to Trump when a corrupt judge and a cooked jury of Trump hating leftists ignores it and convicts him on enough felony counts to spend 100 years in prison? The Government can do whatever it wants to do. Who will stop them when they control all the muscle?
Black Pilled much? Try playing “What IF…” in the other direction for a while.
Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.
~ Abraham
The statement is not worrying it’s using logic based on the obvious corruption that’s rampant through out our judicial system and especially concerning are the pending investigations in Washington DC where it’s the absolute worst (jury pool wise and the judges).
Just think about General Flynn and the years dragged out during his trial under that Obama appointed judge.
Multiple laws were violated during his prosecution/persecution.
Even if President Trump gets a judge and jury that are not compromised initially, they will be fast tracked to corruption.
Just look at Kavvanaugh who the swamp certainly did not want on the Supreme Court but now based on many of his decisions it appears he’s under their thumb.
Our judicial branch has likely been more compromised then most realized but, when due process is not even followed (January 6 prisoners) it’s not being a worry wart to be concerned about the multiple investigations President Trump is currently dealing with.
The MO of these shills has been on display and patterns are very obvious and disgustingly predictable (and have nothing to do with worrying but, are concerning).
They are walking a fine line and they know it. They will push as far as they can trying not to cross it. If they cross it we become ungovernable. There are more trained military people in this country that are no longer active duty than there are active duty service people.
John Durhams two trials exposed FBI and DOJ, set up Comey for prosecution. You’re wrong to criticize him.
Is this about taking those institutions down or about destroying the country?
Sundance, when you are up against totally corrupt people who will indict Trump for nothing and try him before an equally corrupt, biased DC jury, I’m not sure how you are so sure he has nothing to fear.
Wow. Only a measly two Sunday Talk Shows reposts and fully three original pieces! I just might keep visiting on Mondays again if this keeps up. I watch Fox News and don’t need to rewatch it on Mondays.
Are you unable to scroll past the posts you find so problematic? It is a simple technique and requires less energy than complaining.
I guess you get what you pay for. If this free site is not up to your standards, please pay for one that might offer more insight and has a better group of people who appreciates what is written… if you can find one that is.
Every politician, judge, lawyer and bureaucrat should be subject to the LAW!
Federal law, 18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: (1) removal from office and; (2) confinement or a fine.
Why do you not understand?
They don’t need legal authority. They don’t need facts.
They have a noose (the Judge) and the tree (the jury) and they are going to lynch him. Lynching is part of their DNA.
Have you not been paying attention to our track record in jury trials in NY and DC????????????
Maybe you do not understand. They expend an enormous amount of time, money and effort showboating THEIR perfect system. They have to do that or they risk losing control. They do not want to cross that line. They want to maintain control of the ball in their court at all times. But, if they do not follow the rules, they lose the psychological leverage to compel us to follow their leadership. And, that Geico is a problem for them.
No one luvs Trump more than me but it is time to get real.
He won’t be able to run because he will be either in jail or tied up in trials.
He won’t be able to staff an administration because qualified people will be afraid to work for him after what they have done to people who know him, work for him, are related to him and who support him.
He is too old to run against a younger candidate and i don’t believe Joe will be the democrat nominee.
In my humble opinion I believe the deep state is faced with a major problem you have Trump on the right and Kennedy on the left and no one that is capable of challenging either one and either one is a thorn in the side of the deep state, the deep state has placed themselves in a very precarious position GOD protect Trump and Kennedy.
A Kennedy running is ingenious. It keeps Trump and Kennedy alive.
