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]
This business of Mary McCord’s husband, Mr. Snook, being a legal advisor to John Roberts makes me
suspicious of him being involved in covering up the leaker, or even being the leaker, of the Roe Vs Wade
decision that sent the Democrats into a rage just prior to the 2022 election, when previously we’d been
led to expect a Big Red Wave that would sweep both houses of congress to Republicans. Up until then
the Dems were demoralized by the bad economy and Biden’s bad performance. Now suddenly they
got an infusion of anger and motivation to get out and vote in an otherwise low turn-out midterm election.
The real reason? They were criminals before Trump became President. None of this was done to save the Republic,as they say, it was to keep covered up the pre Trump crimes, with more crimes.
Absolutely!!!
Indeed. ALL of them.
Racketeering.
RICO
🎯
Just thinking that if a high level mole in Justice Roberts office was the leaker would Roberts, DOJ or FBI allow this person to be discovered. As always everyone in DC is inter connected. Everyone is safe because everyone has secret ties. How many spouses are in controlling roles in Bureacracy. Sort of arranged marriages for power.
$$$$$$$$$$
Love how the DC women keep their “maiden” names! They are right because that’s the source of their gurlz bureaucratic power. It allows for pillow talk and other yummy treats for both parts of the couple.
Would you want to be a SNOOK?
It’s very troubling that McCord’s husband is the legal “advisor” to Chief Justice Roberts.
Mr. Snook is more likely a blackmail enforcer who reminds Roberts that it would be a real shame if x, y, z embarrassing or criminal act should become public knowledge.
He’s an office manager not a legal advisor.
It’s irrelevant whether he’s a legal advisor or not.
Proximity & influence.
Yes, that does make sense re: Roe v. Wade release prior to election. Roberts’ knowing/guessing it was Snook and releasing this info would then lead to looking into Snook’s activities in earlier “matters.” So Roberts and the other SCOTUS justices had to leave it alone hoping the other “dots” wouldn’t be connected, as they have been here this morning! Cheers, Sundance;-)
McCord, Schifty-Schiff, Corey, Rosenstein, Jerrold-The Hut, McCabe…..
Star Wars bar scene characters….where’s Han’s blaster?
What a ponzi shell game!!!
Looks like Carlin jumped to a private law firm in 22.
“Paul Weiss’s (multinational cyber security law firm) Tuesday announcement that Carlin would be a co-head of the firm’s cybersecurity and data protection group came a day after a pro-Russia hacker group called Killnet issued a cyberattack against several U.S. airports, including those in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.
“Cyber-predators are attacking corporations in ways the companies haven’t seen before, spurring a greater need for preparation, Carlin said in an interview after joining Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.
“Carlin’s new practice also includes former Obama administration Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Jeannie Rhee, who worked with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller as leader of the team investigating Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election.”
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/ex-justice-leader-carlin-seeks-paul-weiss-growth-in-cyber-work
An utter cesspool of filthy, dangerous people. They just keep getting recycled in the sludge of DC and the government.
Thank you so much for this.
God bless and protect you, Sundance.
Amen! 🙏🏼
So we have leverage now on Johnny Boy, but hey, if he leaves, the Dems get to appoint a Chief Justice.
I don’t know if average citizens can have leverage on a guy like Chiefy. Can we?
But yeah, you can’t stop.
I’ll bet Merrick Garland would like to be Chief Justice.
God help us.
There’s not a wall large enough to line up all the corrupt crooks in the Deep State.
The Alito draft opinion was leaked to Politico. Who has more experience leaking to Politico than the FBI/DOJ beach friends? Did we get Snook-ered again?
THIS ^^^^ is real investigative journalism. Well done as usual, Sundance!
Is there any federal agency or subagency within our Justice Department that has not been so tainted that it can still administer justice? Is there any lawfare at the state level that can be implemented?
Are we down to “citizen’s arrest” as the only hope?
Sundance, In my mind there is only one way to deal with this mess. Alas, it will be in the dissolution of this once great nation. The corruption in our governments is worse than in ancient Rome. We have allowed corruption to continue unabated and cheating in our voting process which has put us in a quasi socialist/tyrannical government. We all know that there is only one way to get out of this type of government. The republic that our founding fathers created for us has been lost as Benjamin Franklin feared it would be.
MAYBE PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD TRY TO HIRE CARLIN TO REPRESENT HIM IN THESE NY TRIALS!!!
That would be suicide.
Collyer, Contreras, Boasberg, Roberts…
S. M. H.
Ooof. What a mess when Swamp Rats work together for years. They become familiar with each other and do as little as possible to insure proper oversight and accountability with winks and nods at wrongdoing.
And the problem just festers and gets worse.
So Congress is debating renewing FISA and making the usual theatrical noises about reforms.
“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.”
Given how many Americans have been caught up in FISA targeting, their demands for reforms are worthless if they refuse to act against Atkinson.
“applications submitted from inside the DOJ.”
This caught my eye.
Sundance, can y0u explain what other feral agencies my be submitting applications to the FISA court?
Sundance has spent a lot of time pointing out the part of the Collyer report that says the FBI and the CIA had a memorandum of understanding that allowed both to hire contractors and give said contractors access to the less guarded FBI portals to the NSA data. And that these contractors were part of massive violations.
The contractors were blacked out. But we have since learned of many who were given access, such as Perkins Coie, the DNC lawfirm Hillary used to conduct her crimes, having their own SCIF for access.
Now, you can’t pretend you don’t know.
We know.
They know we know.
Etc…
Jim Jordan just voted for the monstrosity open ended forever spending.
Who owns Jim Jordan?
Chairman of United States House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government?
Jim Jordan is owned by his lies.
None of this is good for John Roberts, and this former FISA Judge warned that Congress’ 2008 reform of the FISA system. Good changes don’t come with warnings. And, as we know, 2008 marked the start of the damage by Obama.
Former judge admits flaws with secret FISA court
July 9, 2013
WASHINGTON A former federal judge who served on a secret court overseeing the National Security Agency’s secret surveillance programs denied Tuesday that the judges act as “rubber stamps.” But James Robertson said the system is flawed because of its failure to allow legal adversaries to question the government’s actions.
“Anyone who has been a judge will tell you a judge needs to hear both sides of a case,” Robertson, a former federal district judge based in Washington who served on the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, said during a hearing of the federal oversight board directed by President Barack Obama to scrutinize government spying.
Robertson questioned whether the secret FISA court should play the role of providing legal approval for the surveillance programs, saying the court “has turned into something like an administrative agency.”
Group to ask high court to stop some NSA spying now: Report
Russian official: Venezuela is Snowden’s last chance
Much of the NSA’s surveillance is overseen by the FISA court, which meets in secret and renders rulings that are classified. Many of these rulings also likely been disclosed by Edward Snowden, the NSA systems analyst who leaked significant information about the spying program. After Snowden began exposing the NSA’s operations in June, Obama instructed the board to lead a “national conversation” about the secret programs. The board has been given several secret briefings by national security officials and it plans a comprehensive inquiry and a public report on the matter.
The board’s chairman, David Medine, had told The Associated Press in advance of Tuesday’s hearing that “our primary focus will be on the programs themselves. Based on what we’ve learned so far, further questions are warranted.”
Robertson, who said he asked to join the FISA court “to see what it was up to,” had previously played a central role in national security law. Robertson was the judge who ruled against the Bush administration in the landmark Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld case, which granted inmates at the U.S. naval prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the right to challenge their detentions. That ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2006.
Robertson said Tuesday that FISA court judges have been scrupulous in pushing back at times against the government, repeatedly sending back flawed warrants. But he warned that Congress’ 2008 reform of the FISA system expanded the government’s authority by forcing the court to approve entire surveillance systems, not just surveillance warrants, as it previously handled. Robertson said the system needed the presence of a legal adversary to act as a check on the government’s programs.

A Congress that passes laws to allow the US. Constitution to be bypassed with a court that allows it. Is not legal. This was recently demonstrated again for all to see. By watching the budget process. Yes, this was recently revealed. Decenting opinions were not allowed.
Seymour Hersh just pubilshed a new essay on the Durham report on his Substack…
Also posted with link at Zerohedge.
Either he reads Sundance, or it’s just another example of how Truth is Truth-:)
Sundance, a couple more datapoints.
First, the electronic surveillance Page facilitated as UCE-1 that obtained recordings of FSB agents in the New York consulate of the Russian Federation that led to the prosecution of Buryakov took place toward the end of 2013 and had to be authorized during Mueller’s directorship at the FBI. Think electronic surveillance inside the Russian consulate could be authorized by low level agents? Not likely. Both Mueller and Comey, his then number 2, likely involved in the authorization, and likely knew exactly who Page was. It was the FBI that approached Page to infiltrate the consulate.
Second, both the DOJ and SDNY issued press releases in Feb or Mar 2015 concerning the original indictment that are still on their websites. Both included quotes from both AG Eric Holder and Carlin about the importance of the investigation and prosecution of Buryakov. So the very top of the DOJ, which would have included Comey as FBI Director would have known the details, including the identity of UCE-1.
Third, the trial attorney assigned by Carlin to represent DOJ-NSD during the Buryakov prosecution, as identified by both sets of press releases, those announcing the indictment and those announcing the guilty plea, was Heather Schmidt, who is still signing pleadings for DOJ-NSD when last I looked. There appears to be no mention of Schmidt throughout this entire sordid affair, but she had direct knowledge of Page UCE-1 status and likely participated in his debriefing before the plea agreement in March 2016, which he has mentioned. She should be witness #1 to demonstrate that Carlin knew exactly who Page was, and be made to explain how DOJ-NSD could not be charged with her institutional knowledge. Either Page was a double agent the whole time and they just happened to figure it out after he joined the Trump campaign 10 days after Buryakov pleaded guilty or they knew he wasn’t a Russian spy from the get go and withheld that information from the FISA court. Hell, since Buryakov was not sentenced until late May 2015, and Page remained the key witness until then, Page remained a UCE through at least that date. So the FBI was ordered to initiate an investigation of Page in early April 2016 as a suspected Russian spy at the exact moment he was an FBI UCE and key witness against a known Russian
spy. They knew.
Finally, Bill Priestap was in the NY FBI office during the Buryakov investigation and most of the prosecution, only transferring to DC in late 2015. Would be interesting to know if he had any involvement in the Buryakov investigation while in New York.
Just speculating – remember the so called leak of the supreme court’s abortion ruling? Did they ever find the leaker? Just wondering if this bloke (Mary McCords) husband knows anything about it.
Bravo, Sundance – what a great exposition!
I wonder if John Carlin had an exit interview when he left.
Bravo is right. I feel like I am watching the greatest espionage movie play out right in front of me. Wish we could get more informants.
Executions would make things better…
Excellent piece, as usual.
But this one is on fire and has pointy things on the end.
Crystal clear evidence of treason and the construction of a much deeper tyrannical state than any of us recognized.
What is to be done about it? I don’t mean the usual “Trust The Plan”, and “It’s in God’s hands”, and “Cold Anger” because, really, where has any of that gotten us on a public policy level? The Swamp is in firm control and your vote doesn’t count.
What to do?
Calling on RICO!!
Our hope is in Jesus Christ.
In the words of the great Sir Winston Churchill,
What are we fighting to ‘save’? I think the US needs a high colonic and the nozzle should be inserted in DC
Noe to worry. Our Republican buffoons in the House are all getting their hair done perfectly for when they all get their five minutes of questioning of John Durham with no follow up! Merrick Garland will follow up to get to the truth.
were at not for the actions of Donald Trump We would know nothing of this.
Pretty much were it not for PDJT existing that we would know anything of this! He’s been a Patriot his whole life.
An excellent job of investigative journalism, or criminal investigation. The problem is, even if you put all of the pieces to the puzzle together, and produce a complete picture and time line with all guilty personnel involved, WHO is going to actually slap the cuffs on, and march this disgraceful scum to jail? Who is going to give the word, who is going to bring the real pain of real justice with real, severe consequences? That has always been the hangup in Washington, DC, no justice, no punishment for blatant felonies, corrupt activist judges, even worse Federal Prosecutors. Unless these people, who committed these treasonous traitorous felonious acts are executed, then all of this information and evidence is nothing more than an academic exercise. A lot of blood is going to have to be spilled to make this right.
Durham didn’t use a grand jury to compel testimony?
He was protecting the FBI/DOJ as was Barr.
I forwarded this article to Senators Rubio and Scott and my Representative Byron Donalds.
With a note, There are criminals in Washington DC. What are you going to do about it?
Given that Senator Rubio is Ranking Member of SSCI and provided chaff and counter measures for Senator Warner when Warner’s text messages to Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman were made public, I wouldn’t count on much action from Rubio.
Matter of fact, I sent Sundance’s last Durham Report to Lil Marco, stating your buddy Mark Warner is a criminal, What are you going to do about it?
No reply from the Rubio team.
Rubio KNEW! Along with ALL the members of SSCI, they knew at the beginning of
Trump’s term the dossier was fake. So think on that a minute. They allowed millions to be wasted. Voters to be cheated of their President’s full time and attention to issues, and TWO fake impeachments.
the leadership of our country is CORRUPT. How on earth do we right this rocking boat?
Cornyn Cruz and Carter, same question
Bothering to spend the time reading the slow-walked, “Have all of the statutes of limitation expired yet?,” Durham report is like watching a very long multi-part documentary about a serial killer and at the very end of the concluding episode hearing, “No charges were filed… by his fellow perps.”
To quote a perp in that document, “What difference at this point does it make.”
Thank you for this
Said it before and I’ll say it again. It all goes back to Comey
Arrest him, and those that set up the system of corruption beforehand will be revealed, as well as those who came after
As long as Comey skates, the precedence remains
Is it time to break the precedence? Thanks again Sundance, sounds like we’re getting close
OT but related, a question no one (that I am aware) has addressed, ever, in any way, shape or form.
Any type of warrant requires some sort of report on the surveillance, when it happened, who was spying, who was spied upon, and what were the results.
In addition to assessing how the warrants issued, we should find out and assess the results. How broad and deep was the corrupt surveillance?
Learning what was done would (IMO) by implication reflect the motives, goals and further corruption.
Treason has no statue of limitations or expiration.
But nothing they did would have even the remotest chance of being judged to be treason even in the impossible case where any one of them was brought up on that charge. They aren’t that stupid and careless.
Yet I see Feds fire on a crowd, assult and kill people during a protest, open the doors to the Capital, lead people inside, majority of the citizens talk to the cops, take selfies and walk out and are now in prison for sedition.
Fattie Bill Barr said that History is written by the winners. We just need to win then.
Excellent treatise, Sundance. Thank you.
GO Trump 2024 and Save The America,
Another question that still remains: was Carter Page in on it? He must have been, which has been long suspected.
Does any rational being believe anything that comes from DC? They are one party. This information is useless.
it took us a long time for the shite to get this deep, it will take at least that long to dig out.
I’ve sort of kept up with this stuff for a while and I’d consider myself a little more informed than most, but this is a stunning summary of the massive and blatant corruption that has infested our govt.
It’s deep and wide but it’s not really too complicated, especially with this clear outline of the scheming.
It’s incredible what these people have been up to.
And taxpayers are paying for their salaries and massive pensions.
Well, here I go again wasting time on this topic.
Seymour Hersh: Russiagate’s Missing Pieces
JUN 04, 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/seymour-hersh-russiagates-missing-pieces
Excerpts:
The issue with Durham may be that he was the wrong man in what could never be the right job. He had made his reputation with the help of others in the FBI and Justice Department. They had provided him with much of the evidence he used in his Mafia investigations—undercover agents, access to information, wiretaps and extra manpower for manpower for analysis and surveillance. He had made and kept friendships current over the years. But there are no shoulders to lean on when one is investigating colleagues in Washington.
It was not clear to some who worked with him whether Durham understood the ease with which the FBI could game the FISA process and get their way with the special court; nor that he understood the extent to which the serious operators in the intelligence community thought themselves to be above the law.
In the end, and to Durham’s credit, he stuck to his guns and said what he thought about those who wished him to expand his inquiry deeper into the actions of the Clinton campaign in this footnote:
“To be clear, this Office did not and does not view the potential existence of a political plan by one campaign to spread negative claims about its opponent as illegal or criminal in any respect.”
He added, however, that for a campaign to “knowingly provide false information to the government” would be another matter.
How to distinguish the two is the crux of the issue. In his failure—if that’s the right word for it—to get the whole story, Durham resembles one of the blind men in the ancient Hindu parable about a group of blind men inspecting an elephant. Each of the inspectors describes a small part. The elephant is the campaign to link Trump to Russia. The mainstream press, running with the later discredited Russiagate narrative, portrays Trump as a puppet of Putin or even as a double agent of Moscow dating back to the Soviet era. And Durham sees himself merely as the lawyer who was ordered to investigate FBI managerial shortcomings. The public only sees parts of the picture.
There is more to know.
The elephant parable to which he refers sounds suspiciously like what Sundance refers to as silos. SILOS. The continuity of government types, the Deep State, keeps everyone in their own little island so they won’t catch on to and be able to testify to the big picture, the ultimate goal.

I have asked this question several times, why are we not as people of the United States, filing a RICO suit against these people? The government has filed RICO cases against the mob, why can’t we file against the government. I imagine there are some fairly bright law minds who read this forum, why can’t we do this?
Thank you Sundance. Your analytical ability to put the pieces together is extraordinary. I am sickened by the massive corruption and monsters in DC. Please be diligent with your personal protection. These corrupt officials have no conscience and are very dangerous.
Sundance Keep up the good work! You expose what no one else will. You dive into the weeds and pull out a gem. Daniel 12:10 sums it up perfectly: Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand: BUT THE WISE(SUNDANCE) SHALL UNDERSTAND!
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/seymour-hersh-russiagates-missing-pieces
“I was told that there was tension and frustration over Durham’s initial lack of interest, or reluctance, to go beyond his investigative mandate and look closely at the possibility that some senior FBI officials had openly joined ranks with the Clinton campaign, with its drumbeat of spurious allegations, because, in some cases, of a shared belief in the importance of a Clinton victory in the fall election. Another factor, I was told, was the possibility of promotions—even to high-level Justice Department offices—in a potential Clinton administration. “
There is a threshold. Once that threshold has been reached, one way or another, the music stops and there will not be any chairs for any of them to sit on .. and the world will be completely different for everyone . .don’t get comfortable . .denial works until it doesn’t . one can live in denial that something exists . but can not live in denial of the consequences
Old Jarhead is well meaning but a bit too smug.
Nothing will happen if people do nothing.
Keep picking up the pieces.
Yes Comey and Co. are not in jail, but they have lost all credibility and can no longer be taken seriously. Major media that supports them, and upon whom they depend for survival, is coming apart for the same reason….no credibility.
Old Jarhead should quit whining and get the McCabe transcript out there. Get it the hell OUT THERE!
Someone takes them seriously; Comey is teaching Ethics to law students at Georgetown. (How can you teach something with which you are wholly unfamiliar?)
Which explains a lot about our law graduates.
And the worst mayor ever in Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, is teaching leadership at Harvard; meanwhile, University of Illinois hired loser Beto to teach politics. Moral : Do not send your kids to any college/university without doing considerable research; instead, opt for a trade school.
Yes! And trade schools will teach useful skills, skills that will impart the necessary building blocks for a citizenry eager to throw off the heavy hand and malicious intent of our “betters.”
I say great! Show yourself as part of the corruption by hiring these clowns.
In all these instances, what is the net result?
No harm upon me.
It’s simply a loss of credibility for these institutions. Now I know where they stand and who not to trust.
Think of all the institutions who have completely lost credibility in the past few years. Here are examples:
17 “Intelligence Agencies” agree there was Russian collusion.
Several “Pulitzer Prizes” awarded for reporting on Russian collusion.
14 “Nobel” laureates agree Biden’s economic plan is good.
51 senior members of the “Intelligence Community” believe Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
“CDC” says everyone should get vaccinated to protect you from something most have a 99.997% chance of surviving. Oh, and getting vaccinated several times in the same year for the same “virus” is best.
“FDA” approves said vaccine and associated protocol.
“NIH” says masks don’t work, but then says they do work, then says multiple masks would be better, then says masks don’t work.
Trust the “Science”. Unless the science is racist then don’t trust the science.
90 something percent of all “scientists” believe the globe is warming. In the 1950’s they thought it was cooling. When caught lying, now they say the climate is “changing” but give us all your money and we’ll fix it.
The list is long.
Is it a case of: Trust us. We know what’s best.
Or is it more likely: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I’m sure one of the Nobel laureates thinking the economic plan is good is……Paul Krugman.
Haha, no doubt.
If you want to be accurate about some economic question, then choose the exact opposite of what Paul Krugman is saying. He is diametrically wrong on everything on which he comments. 100% of the time – flipping a coin would be a better predictor of economic outcomes than listening to anything Krugman has to say.
Bravo!
These institutions and their foundation were never meant for anything other then destruction of free peoples.
Georgetown if I’m not mistaken was a massive slave trader by the Catlick Church In it’s foundation
What an ignorant and bigotted thing to say, Sanjay. You have no historical knowledge at all.
“than”
Fact Check: Yes the Jesuits are an issue, and Georgetown inparticular, but the Catholic Church outlawed slavery before Jamestown
Truth and ethics acording to Comey. He seems to have his own set of what is best.
These people are all Marxist. They are only taken serious by other Marxist.
No they are fascists
Look. This is very large country. As an old business friend once told me, you can sell 500,000 of anything in this country.
Forget ethics. Look at the people that believe men can be pregnant, that the climate change will fry us all in a few years, that this is a systemically racist country, that the 2020election wasn’t stolen…
Colleges, and yeah, you bet, law graduates, are a direct threat to the health of the country and the way of life that you and I cherish for our grandchildren.
If we do not stand up to these things, do not speak out about them and instead just content ourselves with a comment on a website now and then and blandly accept that “nothing will happen”, then we have lost. We have lost without even trying to fight back. We have forfeited the match.
If thats’ the choice you make then, right, nothing will happen.
Don’t let them do that to you. Get them off their asses and fight back. And do not ever give up on it.
If you do those kids you care about will have no chance. No chance at all.
Check your premise?
He is teaching them how to evade and cover-up ethics issues?
He seems to be an expert at that?
There lies the rub. They are forcing the change by our acceptance & dumbed down generations of future leaders that believe they make the laws. Unconstitutional or, not That’s their right, they’re supreme because they were elected or, wear a badge. This it isn’t there, we all have the same rights under The Constitution!
The Constitution is very simple, cut, & dry. It must be swung like the moral republic sword it is, not the old piece of paper they want you too believe it is. Because if applied, government power & tax theft would not exist!!!
We don’t need a supreme court to decide & fight local, state, or federal color laws. A moral judge could instantly end half the insanity in his area alone in a instant. Paying fines, bar lawyers etc…. only feeds the bar system of the crown. We fought a war that separates US from British rule. We have rights & rule ourselves as long as we basically follow God’s Commandments. Our Rights shall not be infringed by no man, only God.
So what we have now is a shell game by government of God’s law vs Corporate Maritime law. It’s a charade all the states are playing both sides of law for profit but, every state has recognized The Constitution as Supreme Law. Everything else only has the color of law. Has no bearings on Americans. Fight for it everywhere & everyway!!!🤬
Of course they are. Our government no longer seeks to serve the people, but only to control the people. That is visible in all its’ actions. That should be crystal clear to anyone paying any attention at all.
They say it all the time. Bill Clinton said it:”The government knows better what to do with your money than you do”.
Watch their feet. They see the people as the enemy, the only serious threat to their existence. The people MUST be controlled.
The parties see themselves as government. They are there to do their part. Above all else, they are there to manipulate, trick, cheat and force the people to comply.
They may have different methods. They may have different priorities. But their goals are the same: if we are to survive, then under no circumstances can the people be allowed to gain control.
