I’m going to go into the deep weeds on this story, because many people are missing a key facet. The names behind the Trump targeting operation are included, along with citations for independent checks by House congressional investigators.
Inside the recently released report by John Durham [CITATION], the special counsel outlines how former FBI Director James Comey was intimately involved in the creation of the Carter Page FISA application. Durham notes that Comey kept asking the DOJ National Security Division and FBI counterintelligence investigators, “Where’s the FISA, we need the FISA.” However, John Durham never interviewed James Comey or Andrew McCabe. The former FBI Director and Deputy refused to cooperate or give testimony to John Durham. So, how did John Durham have details about the demands of Comey?
The answer is found in the footnotes. Durham reviewed transcripts of interviews given by Andrew McCabe to the Office of the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who previously investigated FBI conduct in the origin of the Carter Page FISA. Durham pulled quotes from that transcript. [Footnote #1207, page 199 – Durham Report]
♦QUESTION: If Andrew McCabe gave testimony to the OIG about the motives and impetus of FBI Director James Comey in pushing for the Carter Page FISA application, why did the OIG report never outline those transcribed interviews? Why was the interview transcript never included in the 2019 OIG report?
[ NOTE to Congress. Now that you know a transcribed interview of Andrew McCabe exists in the OIG office, request the transcription and release it to the public.]
Let me answer those questions without the customary pretending from the DC professional political class. The short version is that OIG Michael Horowitz was trying to protect the DOJ and FBI. The longer version is a coverup that includes Rod Rosenstein, Bill Barr and yes, John Durham. I will share that story below.
“Where’s the FISA? We need the FISA?” ~ James Comey
The DOJ-NSD and FBI CoIntel needed to find a safe and legal way to spy on the Trump campaign. The 2016 FISA Title 1 surveillance of former FBI employee Carter Page became the fraudulent justification for that intent.
Because “FISA Title I” surveillance authority against a U.S. citizen is so serious (the U.S. government is essentially calling the target a spy), only a few people are authorized to even apply for such surveillance warrants. One of the four people authorized to make such a Search Warrant request is the Asst. Attorney General as head of the National Security Division of the DOJ.
In September and October of 2016, at the same time the DOJ was putting the finishing touches on the FISA Court application to be used against Carter Page, Asst. Attorney General John P Carlin resigned as head of the DOJ-NSD. [CITATION] Did Carlin resign in protest or fear?
Here’s context:
Carter Page was used as a UCE (FBI undercover employee), responsible for the bust of a high-level Russian agent in 2013 – and remained a UCE – throughout the court case of Evgeny Buryakov, a Russian citizen who U.S. prosecutors say posed as a banker while participating in a Cold War-style spy ring. [CITATION]
Carter Page was an FBI undercover source for the FBI UP TO May of 2016. How was it possible that on October 21st, 2016, Carter Page is put under a FISA Title 1 surveillance warrant as an alleged Russian agent? Conclusion: Carter Page wasn’t a Russian agent. The DOJ National Security Division and the FBI Counterintelligence Division knew he wasn’t.
In order to manufacture the justification for the Carter Page FISA warrant, the DOJ-NSD and the FBI flat-out lied to the FISA Court. Remember, IG Horowitz said there was no ‘Woods File’ in the Carter Page FISA application. Instead of the required section substantiating and citing all the claims in the application, the FBI used the Chris Steele Dossier.
However, as to the motive of John Carlin resigning before the application was completed and submitted, we look back to the March 2016 DOJ Press Release of the guilty pleading in the Evgeny Buryakov case as announced from the New York office:
…”Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and John P. Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, announced”… (link)
DOJ-NSD head John Carlin obviously could not submit a FISA application against Carter Page, accusing him of being an “agent of a foreign government,” when just a few months earlier he used Carter Page as a witness and FBI UCE source in the case against Buryakov.
As James Comey is demanding that Andrew McCabe and his FBI counterintelligence agents get the FISA warrant, likely an ass covering necessity, the person responsible to get the warrant from the court, John Carlin, quits the DOJ. Considering all the facets outlined above, this cannot be accidental.
Here’s where it gets SERIOUSLY sketchy.
The next in line person, who can fulfill the DOJ/FBI goal of getting the fraudulent application through the FISA court, is Mary McCord. Put into the position as Acting Asst. Attorney General for the National Security Division, the job of submitting the FISA application now falls upon Mary McCord.
On October 21, 2016, When the FISA application was finally submitted, signed by DAG Sally Yates and FBI Director James Comey, it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.
At the time the Carter Page application was filed (October 21, 2016), Mary McCord’s chief legal counsel inside the office was a DOJ-NSD lawyer named Michael Atkinson. In his role as the legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, it was Atkinson’s job to review and audit all FISA applications submitted from inside the DOJ. Essentially, Atkinson was the DOJ internal compliance officer in charge of making sure all FISA applications were correctly assembled and documented.
Obviously, with the background and context of the entirely fraudulent Carter Page FISA application, a government surveillance warrant using a Clinton funded political opposition research file known as the Steele Dossier to support the warrant, both Mary McCord and Michael Atkinson would know they were directly involved in an intentional effort to weaponize the mechanisms of the justice department against a political candidate.
While James Comey and Sally Yates’ signatures were on the FISA application falsely vouching for it, the attestations of legal compliance fall upon DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord and her top legal advisor Michael Atkinson. McCord and Atkinson are doing, in October of 2016, what former DOJ-NSD head John Carlin refused to do.
WATCH WHAT COMES NEXT: Mary McCord then resigns from her position in the DOJ, and Michael Atkinson is left, as lawyer for the DOJ-NSD, to become Inspector General of the Intelligence Community.
♦ The Impeachment Effort – Do you remember how the impeachment effort against President Donald Trump was created? Do you remember Alexander Vindman, the claims about Ukraine; the statements of hearing from a CIA whistleblower about the content of a phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy?
When the anonymous CIA whistleblower complaint was filed against President Trump for the issues of the Ukraine call with President Zelensky, the Intelligence Community Inspector General had to change the rules for the complaint to allow an anonymous submission. Prior to this change, all intelligence whistleblowers had to put their name on the complaint. It was this 2019 IGIC who changed the rules.
Who was the Intelligence Community Inspector General? Michael Atkinson.
When ICIG Michael Atkinson turned over the newly authorized anonymous whistleblower complaint to the joint House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee (Schiff and Nadler chairs), who did Michael Atkinson give the complaint to? Mary McCord.
Yes, after she left main justice, Mary McCord took the job of working for Chairman Jerry Nadler and Chairman Adam Schiff as the chief legal advisor inside the investigation that led to the construction of articles of impeachment. As a consequence, Mary McCord received the newly permitted anonymous whistleblower complaint from her old office colleague Michael Atkinson.
Can you see how Atkinson and McCord are working together, both connected to the fraud behind the false FISA application used in the Trump-Russia narrative in 2016 and 2017, now both working together on a 2019 impeachment effort against President Trump holding an identical motive? Can you see the stunning conflicts of interest and the coordination?
The weaponized FISA surveillance of the Trump administration doesn’t exist without Mary McCord and Michael Atkinson creating the surveillance mechanism. The weaponized impeachment origin doesn’t exist without McCord – now in congress working for Nadler/Schiff – and Atkinson changing rules as CIA Inspector General, to create the baseline of a fraudulent whistleblower complaint. Can you see it?
But wait…. It gets worse.
♦ Chief Justice John Roberts – As if things could not possibly be more corrupt, now we have the construct of Atkinson and McCord forming the predicate for the impeachment effort. To wit, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts now becomes the presiding judge over the impeachment trial of President Trump.
Mary McCord is married to a fellow traveler named Sheldon L. Snook.
From 2014 though 2020, not coincidentally the timeline of the Trump targeting and administration in office, Mary McCord’s husband, Sheldon Snook, was the special assistant to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.’s counselor. [CITATION]
As noted by the Washington Post in discussing both McCord and Snook, “The counselor’s office advises the chief justice not only on the management and budget of the Supreme Court but also on his interactions with the executive and legislative branches, along with numerous other public roles in which Roberts serves.” [CITATION]
From 2014 through 2020, Sheldon Snook was responsible for running the office of the lawyer legally advising and counseling John Roberts.
Let me put this another way. The most important guy in the judicial branch, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, has a lawyer to advise and construct the responsibilities of the SCOTUS chief judge, which includes the construct of the FISA court and appointment of judges therein.
As Chief Justice, John Roberts is in charge of everything to do with the FISA court. The guy running the office of the lawyer doing the counseling of Roberts, is Mary McCord’s husband.
Mary McCord, knowingly and with specific intent, lied to the FISA court to support the FBI targeting of Trump. Mary McCord’s husband runs the office which would intercept any communication from the FISA court to the Chief Justice if the FISC had any concerns about the false FBI application. See the problem?
♦ SUMMARY – Now, we go back to where we came in.
Why did the Office of the Inspector General never publish the interview transcript about Andrew McCabe talking about how desperate FBI Director James Comey was to get a FISA warrant?
Why did John Durham never publish those same interview transcripts, but instead simply referenced the existence of the transcript in a footnote?
Follow these questions to their logical conclusion, and you will discover that all of the participants including Rod Rosenstein, Bill Barr, James Baker, Dana Boente, Michael Horowitz and John Durham are trying to protect bureaucrats, who did criminal acts, and preserve institutions from collapse that sunlight would create.
Sunlight…
… The best disinfectant.
I ain’t quitting.
Until we deal with this mess, it doesn’t matter who ‘we‘ try to make president.
[Support CTH HERE]
Every time I read your well articulated explanation of the Deep State perfidy I comprehend it a little better.
But many don’t and never will until they see it on screen. I hope you will be involved in the upcoming many episode documentary for authenticity sake.
The closest so far was The Seduction of Joe Tynan with Alan Alda and Meryl Streep. Brilliant for its time, it only scratches the surface of our current mess.
Agreed. Put a badge on Sundance and let him conduct the next Church Committee style”court of justice” as the Chief Investigative Officer. Put impeccable Generals on the judging panel to conduct the court as a Tribunal. Sundance will systematically call witnesses as the drama unfolds and each is convicted of treason. Let the court arrest, handcuff and chain their ankles right there for all to see before they are directly marched out to the firing squad. Shut down the airwaves and make this Tribunal the only program available until all are held accountable. And make the viewing available world wide and downloadable in case someone misses an “episode.”
Meanwhile, Americans will be rolling with laughter and joy, as we fulfill our role as observers of the greatest, true to life program ever broadcast over the airwaves. On channel 2 you can simultaneously switch to watch the actual event as the composed yet joyous soldiers stand rifle ready to complete the sentences handed down by the court straight away. When seen with our own eyes, nations across the planet will be rejoicing with US celebrating the “hope” and “leadership” of the greatest country on earth, America.
Months later, when the Tribunal is over we will execute the first World’s Fair since the 1800s and celebrate the NEW prosperity of all peoples across the world. And commend all American’s and leaders who stood in the breach with the stamina of mind (like Sundance) to never give in, never give up and never back down. God wins! America wins! The whole world wins. God Blessed America with justice and freedom for all.
a movie does not get people motivated to take action.
real pain in their lives.
that time could never be better. the economy is a disaster and there is not a single person who doesn’t feel this pain.
we can use this…we must…it is a necessary lever.
get the information that CTH produces and distribute it to everyone you know. Everyone you know. By email…by print..by fax…by word of mouth.
people are RIPE FOR CHANGE.
we can give them facts and evidence to convince them to take action.
what does action look like?
Letters and demands to your congressional member! Here is the evidence. Here is what I demand that you do with it,
abolish the patriot act and 702 programmes..no more secret courts to spy on us citizens. period. If the DOJ and FBI wants to pursue terror domestic threats…then they have one and ONLY ONE means to spy: get a regular federal court judge to issue a warrant. Period. The demand: if you DO NOT VOTE AGAINST THE PATRIOT ACT AND 702, I will work tirelessly to get enough voters to remove you from office so that someone else can do this work. PERIOD. end of story.
on 31 DEC 2023, the patriot act will expire. The provisions of this act require congress to vote to continue it. if insufficient votes are not provided, it sunsets. Effectively removing the “legal” means for the FBI/DOJ to spy on americans and use that to influence elections. They will have to do their dirty work in other ways. But they will not have the legal authority to spy using this act. It’s makes a difference. it changes EVERYTHING.
think of it this way: there are hundreds of james comey’s in the world…hundreds of mccabe and strikeouts. Hundreds of atkinsons and mccords…rosensteins, horrowdimwitz, and not soo durables. *durham…the power of the secret police spy state lies with the existence of the patriot act. it attracts very dangerous people..unelected people..people who will criminally abuse such powers to achieve a result they desire….as we have seen. abolishing the patriot act and 702 means there is less liklihood these kinds of people will tempt fate and abuse their positions. They will have to cross over into other dark roads and that exposes them PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR PROSECUTION. They would not be protected by the “agency”. There would be not statue to hide behind..
so your actions to your congressional member is how you effect change.
You will feel alot better getting involved. It matters to get involved.
God Bless America
Sundance, I wish any one of our leaders in government had half as much “want to” as you do, to get to the bottom of this corrupt cesspool. Also, if anyone ever deserved a Pulitzer Prize, it is you, no doubt!
I completely agree.
Here’s an interesting take on your statement…
“As one of our leaders in government…”
Sundance and all citizens ARE the leaders in government. After all, our government is instituted among men. They derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. It is a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. It’s us and has been us all along.
Cheers!
This absolutely phenomenal article here is basically ripping the Band-Aid off and exposing the reason why this country is in the shape it is rite now. DIVIDED.
One should be blowed away after reading this article cementing the well known fact that WASHINGTON IS CORRUPT TO IT’S CORE and what do we as a “Divided” nation, Sit in our homes and comment on our electronic devices. The French love their country. They will protest for months in the streets for something as simple as raising the retirement age 2 years. But we as Americans sit on our duffs and disagree on what color the sky is on our electronic devices.
At the end of the day. There was a coup ran by Washington on a duly elected president and then the Washington establishment stole an election right out in the open. Our constitution has been destroyed but yet we sit and wait for our next election to vote for the next republican presidential candidate.
America has fallen and yet we sit and disagree.
Most democrat voters applaud the weaponization of the government against conservatives. They understand that we are at war with each other. Our side is still in the dark.
Yes, Washington IS corrupt to its core. But you know, it seems everything and virtually everyone is corrupt now days. It’s hard to find any instruction that is not corrupt. I’m beginning to lose faith in humanity. I used to think most people and institutions were basically good with maybe a few bad apples, but no more.
Besides the DOJ, FBI, in DC the whole legal profession does not even try to get to the truth. Prosecutors just want to get convictions no matter what. Judges want to get quick convictions or pled deals to clear their docket. The old cliche that “A Grand Jury Would Indict A Ham Sandwich” is very bothersome-Then why have Grand Juries?
The Covid debacle just showed how people in our Medical Institutions or corrupt as their DC counterparts-That would be Administrators, Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacology, etc. They administered drugs like Remdesivir and then Ventilators that did little to no good, but killed thousands of patients-Did they know better or was it all about money. That’s what the CDC recommended so they are covered. The you had Deborah Birx and Fauci manipulate information to drive flawed procedures-why? corrupt.
Look at all the corruption at the state level. In Georgia you have Kemp and Raffensperger along with some in state leadership run and defend a corrupt 2020 election. Then Arizona-Just look at the corruption throughout their state government Ds & Rs and judges. DC does not have a monopoly on government corruption.
I saw an article listed on RCP that I unfortunately chose to read”Can We Call It Fascism Yet?” By Joyce Vance at Substack. Wow- The amount of a one sided Hit Job on President Trump was unbelievable. Then reading the comments that virtually all agreed with the Hit Job was also unbelievable and the amount of hatred that spewed confirmed to me that humanity is in decline.
Maybe I just have been naive all my life thinking most people were honest and caring individuals, but with a few bad apples. I think the bad apples have taken over and we only have a few honest people in the world-Corruption is everywhere!
Yes, corruption is everywhere because at the core, humans are depraved, fallen, and sinful beings. Only by accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord can each person overcome this wickedness. Of course, that doesn’t mean that saved people are perfect, but it means they have been reborn as new creations in Christ. They have a new nature and a new heart that is no longer “desperately wicked.” Rather, as regenerate humans, they want what God wants, and they also have the power to say No to satan.
The problem is the US dollar, which was destroyed after its anchor to gold was broken in 1971.
Corrupt money leads to a corrupt society
You were, and you have a great reason for that. You are an honest person and you have always expected that everyone should be honest. I was taught, occasionally rough lessons, by my father that my integrity would my most important trait. I lost my father over 30 years ago, but I never lost the honesty he preached. I share your epiphany and it has not been a happy one for me, either. I have decided my father was right and I will keep his belief that honesty is always the best policy. But I am now expecting less from other people.
I and my siblings all believe we are the luckiest people on earth to have had our parents. Most inhabitants of this world have never known their own father. That is a huge problem for all of us.
The generation of the tares are in charge. The wheat got overtaken and out maneuvered.
Yes, there is a lot of corruption.
Part of “their” plan is to overwhelm you and make it seem like there is no hope. Don’t fall for it. If you do, you are taking the bait.
Cheer up. The sunlight is disinfecting as designed.
An interesting take on what Sundance has put forth in this article is that Comey was still in fear of the rules. That’s why he was panicked about getting the FISA. In doing so, he is basically admitting there are serious consequences for getting caught doing what they were doing. If you don’t fear the rules, you don’t need the FISA as a retroactive coverup.
What do you think all these clowns see when they look in the mirror each day? Do you think they see winners? Or do you think they see a “dead man walking” knowing it’s only a matter of time before the evil controllers decide they have reached the end of their usefulness?
Thanks-I am trying to cheer up!
After reading that totally stupid article by Joyce Vance and the hateful responses, it is difficult to see humanity advancing in a positive direction.
Talk about HATE, the left has and abundance of HATE on their side and they don’t even see it or maybe it’s all theater-We live in The Twilight Zone!
Please note that the criminals are entirely people who work on the Bureaucratic payroll. The politicians appear to be blissfully ignorant about the actions of the Bureaucratic State, as long as they can keep receiving those big campaign donations from the lobbyist members of large Corporations. This is what makes both Parties into twins instead of political opponents.
As we all seem to like to say these days, “Trillions are at stake!” I don’t know which of these institutions, Big Government Bureaucracies or the Big Government Political Sector, we need to clean up first.
“I think we will need many braves for this job, Kemosabe.”
I believe that there is no cleaning up Washington. I’ve said this before. Burn the bureaucratic system to the ground, arrest everyone who didn’t uphold the oath they took. Send the traitors to gitmo.
Send the rest home.
Fence Washington off and turn it into a tourist attraction, mandate that every child go on a field trip to teach them what not to let their government become. Build a new capital in the actual center of the country.
Have you done anything? Stop complaining and do something.
And these are the people telling us that Putin is evil.
Clearly, the depth of corruption is such as to make the regime non-viable in the long term.
The question is how much destruction it will cause until it fails.
It’s looking like WW3-level destruction is a distinct possibility. I think they’ll take the world down before they allow themselves to be stripped of power.
More than a possibility, they’re aiming for it, and here’s why:

(This is excellent, as is it’s companion: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/06/is_americas_collapse_inevitable.html
These two articles give me hope that Sundance is no longer a lonely voice in the wilderness.)
Does trump have cause to bring a civil rights case against the DOJ?
Perhaps a class action lawsuit against the gov’t by American Voters? At least it might get some attention. Hope TC and EM read this post.
Please stop suggesting that courts and lawyers are going to save us from ruin.
I agree, some people have way more confidence in lawyers and the courts than I.
A RICO case needs to be started.
It’s justified. But where and by whom could it be prosecuted?
I have often thought that, though it is great that we [nominally] have “citizens arrest,” it is not much help since we don’t have “citizens prosecution”; it takes a State actor to prosecute.
Please stop suggesting that courts and lawyers are going to save us from ruin.
The even bigger question is this: WHO WERE THESE PEOPLE LOYAL TO?
Clearly, it isn’t the United States, or our Constitution. Working to undermine the duly elected President of the United States tears at the fabric of our Republic. So if they aren’t loyal to the Constitution or the United States, WHO ARE THEY WORKING FOR?!!!
The deep state.
No, they ARE the Deep State. Who does the Deep State work for?
The evil one.
After reading this several times and reading most of the comments, my question is also who are they answering to? Mary McCord is loyal to someone who is facilitating and directing this.
Remember how surprised everyone was when Barack Obama left office, and instead of retiring to Chicago or Hawaii he bought a home in Georgetown? Right there in DC?
With an office for Valerie Jarrett, his Chief of Staff?
Everyone assumed he was going to be lobbying Congress to protect Obamacare. Nobody suspected he was there to thwart the peaceful transfer of power, and to orchestrate a Deep State coup against President Trump.
All these scumbags get jobs, after their crimes, in academia or leftists cable news channels.
The vast majority of Treepers have long since abandoned Big Media, we need to discourage our children and grandchildren from attending the Big Indoctrination Centers.
I want to vomit. I’m sick to my stomach.
These highly educated people never seem to learn the lesson that covering up major abuses of power and criminal acts under cover of law does far more harm than good in the end. It’s how governments collapse. Revolutions get fought. Civil wars break out. The best course is always to deal with it in the open and bring it to closure.
they don’t care.
Also bears repeating: The entire Carter Page FISA/Crossfire Hurricane/Steele Dossier imbroglio was an AFTER THE FACT construct to justify PRIOR illegal spying on the Trump Campaign. The Obama Intelligence Community, acting as the secret police intelligence apparatus for the Democrat party on behalf of candidate Hillary Clinton, had a big problem when it became evident that Trump had a real chance at winning. They had been operating on the presumption that Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in and the domestic surveillance and suppression apparatus Obama build would be passed on to her.
They couldn’t risk a President Trump taking control of their agencies and learning what they’d been up to under Obama. So they hastily constructed a legal redoubt to defend against the incoming administration, in the event it was Trump. And it was. So, they took out General Flynn (uniquely qualified to wreck their rotten machine), engineered the recusal of the absolutely worthless Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and then had a Special Counsel appointed to compartmentalize the Obama administration’s malfeasance.
this is correct…under the patriot act (enhanced later in the obama administration)..the FBI (and all intelligence agencies) can conduct spying operations for a period of 90 days before seeking formal fisa warrant authority. it’s a backwards system…none of this should have ever been created or allowed to happen. It creates a secret police spy state.
think of it this: how many times has the IC community spied on and influenced elections and never took it to the fisa court. because that happens too..there are no rules that disallow this under the 90 day “pre-spying” loopholes. There are other ‘escapes’ also. As we have seen, the fisa judge has the option to continue a fisa renewal without actually testing to see if actionable intel has been generated. The applicant can just argue…we ran out of time, so give us another shot and renew. This is the problem with this secret police spy court. None of it meets any standards of regular law….constitutional due process, habeas, protection of civil right..search and seizure..color of law abuses..those things do not matter and they do not apply in a secret police spy state court. It is an illegitimate weapon.
BINGO. At the time the USA Patriot Act was passed civil libertarians warned that what we are living today would be the inevitable outcome. But nobody wanted to hear it, we were at WAR.
Another data point: When Obama came into office he immediately set about retooling the surveillance state to serve as the internal security police targeting the enemies of the Left. He gutted the anti-terrorism components and re-targeted it against “domestic terrorism” (i.e., his enemies.) A longtime intelligence operative was quoted in a story (I wish I could find it) expressing dismay that the Obamaites viewed the government security services as “a shiny new toy”.
Under Bush, there was at least the understanding that abuses should be guarded against. Obama went full tilt weaponizing intelligence, law enforcement, and the judiciary. Abuses were the raison d’etre.
Although I do not excuse the immorality and corrupt ‘compliance’ of many involved… I would ask this… how many of “Us” would be steadfast in the face of deadly threats from those with the actual power to carry out those threats? How many “Patrick Henry”s are there amongst us?
Bet more here are more devoted to country than the sorry lot in DC, the greater media and big tech, so I full believe there would have been sunlight at minimum.
And amazingly enough, not one question from the big press mouths about why this total fabrication was initiated. Would force them to Obama and to acknowledge the conspiracy across govt heads and media (particularly google). That is the death knell and ain’t happening.
The criminality and CORRUPTION is breathtaking – and it’s at the presidential level. The DOJ and FBI must have their houses cleaned out and the people mentioned above should all be PROSECUTED for CRIMES against America and the Constitution.
“All of the participants including Rod Rosenstein, Bill Barr, James Baker, Dana Boente, Mary McCord, Michael Horowitz and John Durham are trying to protect bureaucrats, who did criminal acts, and preserve institutions from collapse that sunlight would create.”
Wow!
And no interest from the Progressive Totalitarian Handmaiden Press who got Pulitzers for colluding in the lies…
I’m wondering if the House Oversight Committee visits the Treehouse. With all their staff and financial resources, why does it take ‘lil ole Sundance’, with none of that to put this together? Just goes to show the whole Swamp is corrupt from top to bottom.
don’t guess, or wonder…get involved and make sure your congressional members have the material..and follow up: now that YOU KNOW, what actions are you taking to abolish the patriot act?
Interesting that Comey is running his mouth again recently. Fear or confidence ?
Confidence. Comey knows that before the year is out, Donald Trump is certain to be indicted in at least two more federal and state venues, in addition to the Alvin Bragg indictment in New York City. Trump is certain be convicted in all three of those venues in 2024. Comey is simply doing his part to crank up the ‘Trump is a criminal’ propaganda narrative.
One of my relatives is a Democratic Party operative in Ohio. He is busily pushing this propaganda narrative among his friends and members of his extended family. Before the 2020 election, this guy was pushing the narrative that vote fraud is not a problem in America.
I eventually came to realize that my Ohio relative is directly engaged in perpetrating election fraud in Ohio and possibly in other northern tier states as well. That he is now pushing the ‘Trump is a criminal’ narrative is a sure sign that more criminal indictments are on the way, and that these indictments are all part of a coordinated plan.
Indictments are in the plan, they are working on the choreography.
And how is it that after coming to that realization, that your relative hasn’t accidentally broken both of his legs?
Nothing personal Battleship Wisconsin, I’m trying to understand why what comes around, never seems to go around.
Interesting comment. I agree with your second sentence. ‘We The People’ Patriots certainly seem to consistently draw the short straws.
I would argue against this prediction. It “could” happen..but in each of these cases, there are serious defects for the prosecution. And President Trump has world class representations..specialists.
don’t let the media try and influence you into thinking it’s all going to implode for President Trump. That is their number one force of rhetoric. Actually convicting him will be very difficult. This is not hopium talking. If you examine the charges and the allegation and compare them to the facts that we know and the facts that are likely to be presented in court…in my estimate, my opinion, President Trump stands a very good probability of being acquitted on every one of these cases. I pray about that outcome..we are dealing with evil scum. and everyone KNOWS.
God Bless America
It’s exactly why all of the twitter / news media releases and leaks exist. This is a dirty politics game and has nothing to do with laws.
Bragg has yet to specify any underlying crime.
Jack Smith has got nothing.
Fulton County DA Fani Willis and grand jury foreman Emily Korhs are a complete joke.
These are all smear operations.
Sadly, that’s all it takes today in these loony districts. Hell, we got two impeachments over the flimsiest crap possible and everyone involved knew it.
Coney is being told to start that narrative as a part of the DeStunted campaign.
The depth of the corruption in our government is staggering and any other country pales in comparison.
Europe is flush with corrupt grifters and Canada is probably the worst right now.
Thank you and bless you, Sundance for another deep dive that no one else will do.
None of this would be possible without MSM willful blindness. They are being blackmailed and therefore many of our people are unaware of the corruption. However, as more of our fellow citizens discover the truth the more danger we are all in. These evildoers will burn everything down to protect themselves.
No need to blackmail the media. They ate fellow travellers. Taking over the media was a big part of the long march through the institutions.
All totalitarian governments follow the basic game plan. Take over the media, take over education, disarm the citizenry.
👍
Like GPS Fusion, anything that touches Preet Bharara is dirty. GPS Fusion is just an arm of the WSJ and the intel community.
Anything coming out of the The Southern District of New York is suspect.

From Sundance’s article …. “[ NOTE to Congress. Now that you know a transcribed interview of Andrew McCabe exists in the OIG office, request the transcription and release it to the public.]”
As we have discovered in the past so often on CTH, there are: reports, trials, transcripts, et al … and then there are all the gathered materials as well as evidence. As we have often seen NOT ALL the material and evidence see’s the light of day as it connects the dots or provides the true inconvenient truth.
Bottom line … demand ALL the evidence collected be made public.
After all President Trump actually issued ORDERS to Executive Branch Agencies, which were disobeyed, to RELEASE ALL the evidence and materials collected … even after he gave authority to to declassify it all and then in frustration actually did declassify it all before he left office.
One other thing to keep in mind … the originating authority for all things classified and clearances rests with the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT by law and the person in office can; delegate authority or directly classify, directly declassify and even directly “reclassify” on whim. Now think of all the materials hidden by this fact after 20 January 2021.
By the way … the stuff with the neon road signs pointing to the evidence referenced by Sundance was in the released evidence and body of reports from the related OIG Reports as well as FISC Judge Rosemary Collier’s damning findings on the FISA 702 Queries Report from Admiral Rogers … have ALL been PUBLIC at least since 2018. Heck we reviewed this stuff here on CTH starting at least in 2018 if not sooner.
Then lest we forget … there is the perjury by all the same named characters in Sundance’s article in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD starting at least in 2018.
Just sayin’ … We have had a Horrowitz, a Whittacker, a Durham and a Barr “Bag Pipe Concert” along the way, who saw this stuff just we did.
But who am I … just some dumb country bumpkin you know.
We however have not had Trump in the White House when it mattered :

You are the memory of facts and truth…the yeoman of a time and experience that cannot be allowed to be forgotten or lost to time. You are a Patriot Citizen. “you don’t need a badge on your shoulder to have honor”
God Bless America.
To think that so much of this posturing was done even months prior to November 8, 2016!
What a lying, scheming bunch of power-hungry thugs!
“… not a smidgen of corruption …”
Rigggghht
Technically he was right since there was/is a fleet of dumbstruck loads of corruption.
If no one is ever going to be charged and tried for any of these treasonous crimes, why allow all of them to be exposed in the public square? The powerful Deep State doesn’t seem to be as powerful as we have been led to believe. Justice will come on God’s timetable but we are a part of the clock’s mechanism.
Lying liars lie. Mary McCords husband counseled Chief Justice Roberts but in reality it sounds like CJR was manipulated, misinformed, lied to, and used, just like anybody else the left needs for their schemes, and be damned the consequences!
Maybe so, but I’m constantly intrigued with the notion that so many of these so-called elites can be duped, manipulated, and misinformed as often as they claim to be. I don’t think they’re that stupid – I think they are party to the morass.
Convenient excuse, but I’m throwing a BS flag on the majority of it.
Regarding the tyranny of our government, here’s an old Latin phrase for the populace that’s in opposition.

Oderint dum metuant
It separates the 1776 type Patriots who were all in from the modern day keyboard warrior Patriots that cower in fear.
We need a rico investigation of these DC Cartels. Something secret and thats out of their jurisdiction.
The beatings will continue until there is organized resistance.
Durham’s lead prosecutor and FBI Agent both sued the gun manufacturer in the Sandy Hook school shooting. In addition they were also plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the guy who claimed the shooting was a hoax.
Neither of these two Durham officials had a child at the school that was shot. In fact, neither of them even had a child at the school PERIOD or knew a child, teacher or parent at the school yet they were allowed to be plaintiffs in a multimillion dollar litigation against Remington.
Don’t forget that it was a Connecticut family court judge who refused to commit the teenager to an institution after the teenager’s mother hired a lawyer and psychologists pleading with the judge to treat her mentally ill son.
Incredibly, the judge refused and set the boy free. Mom was his first victim!
Now, you might be wondering why two federal government officials with absolutely no connection to the school or anyone related to the school have STANDING TO SUE THE GUN MANUFACTURER? Wasn’t President Trump’s case of election fraud in Pennsylvania thrown out of court because he didn’t have STANDING???
Thank You, Sundance, for your perseverence in following the countless threads in this web of deceit, and then repeating and repeating your accurate conclusions so that ‘we the people’ MUST acknowledge the Truths therein. No one is focusing this laser-like Sunlight on the corrupt DOJ and FBI and the Courts as you are. Bless you, and stay Safe, as you persist in your efforts.
Well well,well gee what a surprise …not.
And W H O will be held accountable for incompetent investigative work???
Gee another surprise…
No one
Are we watching the Untouchables Reloaded? However, in this sequel the cast of characters believe that they have enough control over society that they can conceive and then execute any action with total impunity. These actors , from Peter Strozk who preened and postured in front of Congress, to Adam Schiff and his brazen fabrications, to the unctuous Larry Fink and his contemptuous arrogance, these actors believe that they ARE Untouchable because they ARE the Elites and it is ALL ‘Too Big To Fail’
Sy Hersh just surfaced on spygate

He still missed the boat. The question is why the DS followed through with Crossfire Hurricane when they knew it all to be a lie. Lots of actors and no questions.
He’s welcome to come here for an “education”
This material almost writes itself
General Flynn has retruthed this article and tagged President Trump on it as a must read.
It really concerns me about how long Vladimir Putin and Xi Xinping have know these exact details and probably many more. They know exactly how rotted out Washington DC and the politIcal-corporate-military industrial complex has become and are running algorithms every day to assess vulnerabilities, targeting, time-frames, logistics etc. But when an enemy (WE) is busy committing suicide; why interfere?
This concerns me way less than the fact that all these actors have no concerns at all regarding reprisals. None, nada, zilch.
There is no deterrent to shenanigans of this nature or broadly orchestrated election theft.
Sick of reading what amounts to be legal mumbo-jumbo people need to be held to account tried convicted and hung their assets divided among their victims and their families homeless and penniless on welfare .
It’s the American Dream these pathetic psychopathic parasites have destroyed for the average American and they need to pay a bitter price for their actions .
Next are the media propagandists , they too need severe punishment up to the death penalty
Washington DC is awash with treasonous actors pretending to be American Representatives when in reality they are common criminals!
Muleface Mary McCord married to a guy named Sheldon Snook — what a welcome opportunity for comic relief! Think Harry Met Sally and Sally with a boyfriend named Sheldon…. Remember Billy Crystal’s little taunt? it begins with “Ride me Big Sheldon!”
Picture that in your imagination! 😬
” If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
That old zen saying seems to be an apt metaphor.
When all government institutions are radically politicized and lawfare distorts and perverts the rules and laws, good luck breaking through and expecting fair treatment or justice.
No matter what the evidence, what good does it do if it’s just ignored and not used to actually conduct a legitimate inquiry and subsequent actions?
Western political systems in general have been corrupted for a long time. And use every means possible to keep their skeletons in their closets. And if a bone or two happens to be found it’s just ignored or mischaracterized.
There’s a reason Former FBI Director Comey is making the rounds on network television now to start creating the IO narrative of President Trumps next term being the “Retribution” Presidency. When JUSTICE comes for this traitor he needs cover, and who better than the media lapdogs who protect the Deep State. Comey is on record admitting to being a Communist…look it up…Clinton walks because she’d bring them all down…Biden…Obama…all walk because if you take one they’ll rat out the others.
This probably explains why Biden never fired Durham, which he easily could have done, early in his term with virtually no notice. Biden wasn’t afraid of what Durham would divulge. However, Durham may have, at least half-way, double-crossed Biden. We can only hope.
Baseline: Without accountability in DOJ, the nation has breached the rule of law and therefore nothing can hold it in place.
Comey apparently went on TV Saturday and Sunday to buck up the criminal elements of the FBI and DOJ. Evidently Comey is the ring leader under Obama. After Comey goes on TV yesterday the Beta men get courage enough to withhold the document Comer wants and the Beta men decide not to hand it into the House .
When Durham refused to do his job, the wheels got locked back onto the axle and are rolling back down hill. Because there is no accountability, the criminals, will all double down as a criminal conspiracy and do so to protect their own 6. It could get very dangerous when there is no rule of law. Even whistleblowers are in danger, nothing but the Military can fix this because a Republic is basically an honor system. We are now being run by a fascist government with control of the Police State mechanisms..
Durham was a Special Prosecutor. His JOB is to prosecute criminal conduct that he identified. He found organized treason but refused to probably because he knew he would fail. But that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have brought the cases for RICO against the American public. They defrauded Americans and probably then for individual acts of treason.
Unless Durham helped leave the turd of McGonighal with evidence tying these criminals to the crimes of Biden, the United States of America as a Constitutional Republic can not be saved using the DOJ, CIA, NSA, DHS, FBI. Only if McGonighal goes states evidence and someone in the US Attorneys office in SDNY has balls, we are done.
