Major HatTip to FoiaFan for staying on top of this.
In August of 2020 I sent this tweet to the general public after a lengthy discussion with John Durham’s lead investigator:
This tweet created major controversy amid those who were deep in the research weeds on the entire Spygate/Russiagate fiasco. Few would believe that in the effort to preserve the institutions at all costs, AG Bill Barr was the Bondo application and Special Prosecutor John Durham was the spray paint. It was all a coverup operation to hide the rot in the DOJ and beyond.
Essentially, Durham and Bill Aldenberg admitted to me that nothing the Robert Mueller team did in the preceding two years was subject to their review.
Yes, that is correct, Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann were specifically appointed in May 2017 by Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein to help coverup and hide the IC targeting of Donald Trump in the preceding two years. Emphasize this point, the intelligence community was targeting candidate Donald Trump, because they had the power as a result of the new surveillance state.
Mueller was to hide that IC targeting operation. Mueller had the full support of all Democrat and Republican leadership.
When Mueller was finished with his segment (2017-2019), newly installed AG Bill Barr appointed John Durham as the safety mechanism to continue the coverup operation (2019 through 2021). This became crystal clear during my phone contacts when the special counsel admitted they would not review anything the Mueller team touched.
John Durham would not, likely because he ‘could not’, touch any of the participants in the Trump targeting operation that were inside the government. His only accountability review was looking at those who were outside government within the Clinton Campaign, Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie, etc.
The majority of the 2015/2016 operation against Trump was conducted by inside government actors who were assisting the Clinton campaign effort. With John Durham admitting he would not look at those govt participants, essentially the Durham investigation was a farce, a joke, a total snow job. Hence… my tweet.
Today, FOIAFan is noting the budget request from the office of John Durham provides receipts for exactly what I was saying HERE – {Go Deep}. The budget memo was recently released as part of a demanded FOIA request:
[SOURCE]
Notice how John Durham is saying as soon as he gets the Danchenko issue completed, it’s all over; “the office shutdown will be completed.”
October 2022 – A jury found Igor Danchenko not guilty on four counts of lying to the FBI, on four occasions. (1) Danchenko told FBI agents he received a phone call in late July 2016 Sergei Millian. However, Danchenko knew he had never received a call from Millian. (2) Danchenko gave a false statement to FBI agents that he “was under the impression” that the late July 2016 call was from Millian. (3) Danchenko falsely stated to FBI agents that he believed he spoke to Millian on the phone on more than one occasion. And (4) Danchenko lied that he “believed he has spoken to [Millian] on the telephone,” when Danchenko well knew he had never spoken to Millian.
The FBI didn’t care about the details of the lies that were told to them; the lies served a purpose. The FBI purpose was to use the Steele Dossier as the foundation for a fraudulent all-encompassing search warrant against the Trump campaign and presidency, using Carter Page. That construct was always the motive of the DOJ/FBI use of Danchenko, Chris Steele and the infamous dossier that gave the DOJ the patina they needed for the FISA application.
The trial itself showed how corrupt the FBI and DOJ were in this scheme by: A) offering Chris Steele $1 million for proof of the dossier content. B) By making Danchenko a confidential human source for two years to shield him, “sources and methods”, from investigative inquiry. C) By paying Danchenko $200,000 for his time as a useful tool and confidential human source.
This is where we must stop pretending. The Durham premise of a “duped FBI” is laughable on its face. No one in the FBI or DOJ-NSD was “duped” by false information from Igor Danchenko.
The lies, as they were with Clinton lawyer Michael Sussman, were well known to be false, yet materially beneficial to the unspoken intention of the DOJ/FBI, which was to target Donald Trump. The corrupt intent of the DOJ and FBI is the basic rot John Durham was appointed to cover over.
Follow the timeline:
Danchenko interviewed by FBI in January 2017. Tells FBI dossier is junk.
FBI hires Danchenko in March 2017 paying him $200,000, just before renewing the FISA they now know is based on junk.
May 2017 Robert Mueller appointed to cover up all of the DOJ/FBI corruption that existed in the Trump targeting.
June 2017 Mueller interviews Danchenko, then renews the FISA.
February 2019, Bill Barr enters as Attorney General.
April 2019 Robert Mueller completes investigation.
May 2019, Bill Barr appoints Durham just to look into things. Immediately, he then begs Trump not to declassify any documents. Trump writes executive order giving Bill Barr ability to review and declassify documents.
October 2020, Bill Barr officially (and quietly), makes John Durham a special counsel. We don’t find out until December (after the Nov election). Which is why in…. October 2020, FBI drops Igor Danchenko as paid informant.
Put it all together and you see the continuum.
(1) Donald Trump was being targeted by a corrupt DOJ and FBI. (2) Robert Mueller was installed in May 2017 to cover up the targeting. (3) When Mueller is nearing his completion, Bill Barr steps in to mitigate institutional damage from 1 and 2. (4) Barr maintains damage control and installs Durham. (5) Durham takes over the coverup operation from October 2020 (Danchenko safe to exit with Durham appointment official).
Main Justice kept a bag over Danchenko until they needed a scapegoat, created by Durham, to sell a narrative that Main Justice was duped. John Durham charged Danchenko (working outside govt) with lying to the FBI while simultaneously avoiding drawing attention to the FBI/DOJ officials (inside govt) who knew Danchenko was lying and were willfully blind to it in order to continue attacking and investigating President Donald Trump.
James Comey, Robert Mueller, Bill Barr, John Durham, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the appointment of Jack Smith… it’s all one long continuum of the same targeting and coverup operation.
Bill Barr was the Bondo application and John Durham was the spray paint.
The entire system is corrupt.
Fiqures. Our legal system is where we are told we will get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Corrupt judges, lawyers, etc. turn it into falshood, the whole falsehood and nothing but falsehood.
What a challenge lies before us!
America is not what you think it is.
Unfortunately, America is exactly what I think it is, and that’s what most frightens me.
Yeah, it’s the best government $ can buy!
It’s not even that. For all that money, we should be getting way better
Yep, best government money can buy
It once was a shining star on the hill
It’s a shit show now
Durham could have looked at crowdstike and the dnc “hack” and Seth Rich. All non government actors. He had incredible power theoretically to do so. But really it’s the dog that didn’t bark, right? No media hit jobs on Durham as he was “investigating”. No smears, no attempts to delegitimize, discredit, or otherwise impugn the motives of the “honorable” Mr Durham as he worked.
If Durham has to be arrested as a co-conspirator along with the rest of the guilty, will anyone here shed a tear? I know I could care less about his fate.
He could have looked at Joseph Mifsud and Samantha Powers, and he did not.
And now Samantha Powers writes the Q cards that the bumbling fool attempts to read as “policy”.
We are TOAST
It’s sadly becoming clear that it’s ‘shining city on the hill’ days were either LONG ago or never at all.
Those days were here, at one time.
It was never a shinning star on a hill.
America – The psyops
Well no. Our legal system is where witnesses testifying are told to swear an oath, on a Bible, to tell “the truth, the WHOLE truth (no lies by ommision) and nothing but the truth (no spin!).
The relationship between our Justice system, and actual Justice, is like the relationship between a warm puppy, and a hot dog.
It SOUNDS similar, but the one, left unchecked will quickly consume the other.
Another EXCELLENT article by Sundance! The question remains as to how the Fourth Branch of Gubermint is fixed. Thanks to conservative websites, we know the insidious players, we have seen their/its game plan, and can anticipate the future efforts to subvert conservative values. IMESHO, there needs to be major lawfare to stop the subversion of the Consitution, and replace the Uniparty, the Deep State, and the Swamp with patriots.
Defund them. They are only doing this to us for paychecks, perks and pensions. Which are funded by our tax dollars. So we pay them to do this to us.
That is not a healthy relationship.
Repeal 16th Amendment. Start defending the Deep State and the Beltway crack addicts.
This is like:
“You go ahead and investigate yourself and let us know if you find anything. Should you find anything you will be fired / worse.”
Legend:
You: random government organization / committee
Asking: random government body supposedly tasked with oversight of You
What will be the logical result of the above in all cases?
The only thing stopping this would be integrity, accountability and morals.
Three things that are in very short supply in people nowadays.
BRING BACK TAR AMD FEATHERING!!!🇺🇸
naw…. HEADS on PIKES ringing the 495 Beltway will be the only thing that causes changes in attitude – changes in latitude
Back in the day we’d get drunk and careless with the torches.
I hear pitchfork futures are at an all-time high.
Just defund them. That will instantly get their attention.
Will stop them in their tracks. Same with the border, no funds to hand out to illegals, some illegals leave, some go to crime and some that were planning on coming here, change their minds. Defund NGOs and all that benefit from the illegal trades.
Sundance, you’ve been the most accurate political analyst I have ever seen. That you are Populist, MAGA, & a President Donald J Trump supporter is of paramount importance. My local talk radio hosts are regular CTH readers and mention you & the Treehouse often. That’s how I got here. Thank you and your assistants (AdRem,Menegarie & Co) for the best website for real news/politics there is.
Absolutely! Its the only news I read. I watch a few Youtube vids here and there, but always read here for facts and truth.
Treehouse, Politico, The Hill and Al Jazerra for that part of the world.
May one ask which talk radio hosts and is there a URL to audio?
Truer words were never spoken Thanks C 🙏
Isn’t that the truth… 11 years worth for me.
Can you post your radio stations?can be heard on web around the world.50 year talk radio junkie,now nothing in my area since Rush.
Wonder what The Federalist Society thinks:
https://fedsoc.org/events/a-conversation-on-the-right-the-current-state-of-presidential-power
“The entire system is corrupt.”
And, among the alphabets, there is no exception to this rule.
Even the FDA, EPA and BLS eagerly lie for Biden!
And are tackling independently capable Americans
Too bad President Trump couldn’t find a couple of couple of people like Sundance in his first term, he would be cruising through his second right now.
Not with Nancy Pelosi and voter approved Democrat majorities sabotaging every move.
Is America ready to face firing 98% of all current government employees(D) while replacements are hired?
Let’s get serious which means getting practical. How do we downsize the monster we let grow within our midst?
They won’t be, can’t be fired. Trump has to eliminate departments, start new ones, and evaluate all employees for positions.
Not true. PDJT instituted a tactic to address this, which he limited to VA employees, as he took it thru the Court challenge system, which means he now HAS the established Court precedents, and so doesn’t need to fight it out in Court, the next time.
By Executive order, ANY employee of any Dept can be fired immedietly for gross incompetence, theft or insubordination.
Usedthe exact wording of the first Executive order, and bobs your uncle!
I like that!
IMHO, being a self-confessed Marxist equals gross incompetence brought about by the destruction of Meritocracy, theft of Other People’s money, and insubordination to the will of Us the People.
All Democrats are Marxists.
Easy peasy.
Tax revolt and defunding the deep state is in our hands.
Without the replacement dept. Millei has shown the way.
Get the nation ready for the howls from the Deep State when we cut off their crack, and send them off to learn to code.
“Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure…” Corporal Hicks
_uckin A………Private Hudson
Nanci Pelosi was at most an annoyance, or would have been if not for PDJT’s nemesis McConnell, and his side kicks Ryan/McCarthy.
Never forget the pearl clutching Ms Grahamnesty & his opening act, “protect Mueller”legislative proposal & closing act for “national abortion legislation.”
Also deeply involved in choice of supremes.
it’s worth a try.
You forgot Paul Ryan.
Kill it and start over. But that’s just me.
Tax revolt and defund is how you do it.
Defend vigorously the rights still left to us as states, such as ELECTIONS.
Congress now thinks that a Constitutional requirement can be eliminated or changed WITHOUT THE ONLY REMEDY, A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
It may NOT be amended by statutory law. It’s the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. Democrats would love that!
We must guard against it.
Thank God he didn’t as I’d then still be clueless.
You there – those coming into our country. Go home. You’re not going to like it here. We’ve become a national disgrace.
They drained their Countries, turned them Into cess pits and now they would like to have all the benefits you can afford until they change America to where they came from. Same as Democrats moving to Red States. What will happen when they can’t use or decide on Pronouns. Total confusion.
Durham is another “devout” one in DC. I bet him, Barr, Mueller, Biden and Pelosi fight over who gets to sit in the best pew.
Perspective of a Catholic Prosecutor | Honorable John Durham
The Thomistic Institute
Explains a lot.
Because 99% of Catholics are NOT “born again”, having the indwelling Holy Spirit to live in them and inform all the correctly of their choices, they are left to their own stinking thinkin’..thinking… And it’s almost always unrighteous and carnal.
Bullsh*t Durham was a complete whitewash job right down to the half-hearted court cases. That was all a show to satisfy the rabble so they could say, “See, we tried. No one was guilty.”
Trials helf in radical left D.C. with a known outcome.
It was ll a shadow show which allowed the guilty conspirators to all escape conviction.
Durham foisted blame on Hillary, but protected her by not making believable cases against her minions. As the document shows, he never had any intent to try her for anything.
He also did everything he could to shield Obama, his cabinet, the FBI, the IG, Mueller, etc. Heaven forbid that he tell the ugly truth about the multiple frauds they colluded together to foist against Trump in multiple coups.
All these jerks are Jack Nicholson in that JAG movie. Guilty as hell and yelling at us that we can’t handle the truth.
Durham made a believable case, beyond any reasonable doubt. But a DC jury nullified his entire effort. There was no reason to continue the cases as long as it landed an any DC court. That is a practical consideration; not ideological.
He could have found criminal actions in other jurisdictions especially with the mail and wire fraud statutes. Mail and wire frauds cover just about everything and typically touch multiple jurisdictions on every end of the transactions!
Same with the voting-steal “hearings/investigatons.”
None of the four indictments of President Trump were issued until AFTER DURHAM announced his whitewash of the FBI and DOJ!
Smith was waiting for the ALL CLEAR and he got it. Durham should hang his sorry head in SHAME! He’s a complete disgrace along with Bill Barr!
Elitist Christian . The illusion of being authentic . Controlled by the few in power under the guise of being “ conservative “.
DC time tunnel where time erases all blunders.
There’s nothing stopping President Trump’s new AG from using the Durham Report and evidence to charge all of the corrupt FBI and DOJ officials who committed dozens of crimes during the Russian Collusion Dossier hoax!
And get a DC jury to convict? Let’s hear some practical suggestions.
Motion to change venue?
New York, Miami, West Palm Beach, Northern Virginia, Long Island for starters. Overseas communications and transactions can be prosecuted in multiple jurisdictions. Mail and wire fraud covers emails, texts, phone calls and money transfers by wire plus mailings. Wires touch many different states and jurisdictions.
Durham could have found a way but had no intention of ever charging anyone in the FBI and DOJ.
The communists have taken DC. We are the cavalry, It’s up to us now.
Get serious. Stop wasting our time.
He is serious…only We the People can fix this…🇺🇸
Yeah!
If only the R’s had the Presidency, the Senate and the HoR we could finally get some good stuff done in the country!!
Huzzah!!!
😂 🙄 🤣
It is one big crime syndicate (including current prosecutors, judges, media etc. for all the Trump cases). All the players don’t have to communicate with each other. They know what the “boss” wants. Whitney Webb has talked about the mob being in charge. This mob seems to be all Dems with some Republicans helping out. They are guilty of all 35 RICO offenses.
Yep, everyone has the script memorized!
But … but … muh White Hats!!!
SOON!!!

I apologize if someone else has asked this, but didn’t Barr and Durham come into this with impeccable credentials as hard-hitting, honest, get-to-the-bottom-of-it investigators and prosecutors?
I didn’t have any of Sundance’s background or facts to base my opinion on, just past history of the deep state and that cynical nature, didn’t figure anyone, especially Hillary, would get prosecuted.
But I hoped.
What brings people like this to the point where they will throw away a lifetime of hard work, and a grand legacy when they’re gone to be remembered as crooked, dishonest, traitors ? Threats ? Money- the good life now ? Harm to family ? Falling for the deception? Or true believers in the deep state. Wishy washy, spineless, no true faith or scruples, that makes sense.
This, I just don’t get it
Could be this? “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
A gun to the head figuratively or literally………
Likely all of the above cause that’s how mobs work.
“What brings people like this to the point where they will throw away a lifetime of hard work, and a grand legacy when they’re gone…….?
Only logic I can come up with is that they are firm in the belief that they will never get caught, and will always prosper from their actions. That, or they are simply rotten to the core.
There is a long standing sewer tradition for these crooks to protect each others reputation.
You should come to grips with the fact that when the Borg tell us how great somebody is, that they are running an op against us.
By the way, there is a long history of Barr’s corrupt clean ups. Many were discussed here when the op was being posted. I need to pay better attention to these warnings.
Bush used him to clean up the DOJ by hiding crimes the first time. By his second go round, the criminals in the DOJ were so out of control that he was sent in to make sure that they don’t destroy the DOJ, once again hide their crimes, and try to get Trump too.
These people, IMHO, have bad Ju Ju that they want left in the closet
Wash DC is a company town. How on earth would any case or lawyer get a DC jury to rule against “the government”. Time we stop paying these borgs to keep screwing us over. Simple solution. Repeal 16th Amendment. If you can’t even do that, then all other threats are a waste of time. Time for tax revolt. These people are only doing this for their own paychecks.
Followed by repealing the 17th to slowly cull the lobbyist swamp as well….
The entire nation has bullshitted by massive government propaganda for decades. Our mass media is a tool of the government. Don’t believe anything you see, hear, or read via media unless you can verify it yourself.
This attitude I propose is what citizens in a constitutional republic should always maintain. The propaganda operation we have endured tried to make us proud of a national government when in fact we should be ashamed.
Why should we feel shame? How many of our soldiers have been killed, maimed, or psychologically scarred in – at best – dubious conflicts? How many noncombatants have been slaughtered in your name and mine?
Our national debt is so large that it might -might be paid down in three or four generations.
And yet the denizens of DC, utter failures, think that MAGA is a risk to our republic.
Yes we were told that Barr and Durham were about justice. It’s just that they came after Comey and we were told the same BS about Comey and so it was easy to be skeptical about Barr and Durham.
It’s easy. I was offered a position I couldn’t refuse because if I didn’t and the company had to downsize or move, my current position was lower priority. This had to do with hourly plus overtime equals less than a salaried position pay. They also said if I turned down a promotion I might not be given that offer again. Crap. You take the more secure position with basically the same pay and work less hours.
Barr has always been dirty. Always.
Durham was offered a very cushy high six figure retirement job no doubt for his dereliction of duty!
he realized the actual criminals were at the apex of central state power. a president. the military flag officers…cia, nsa, fbi, homeland, and congress.
It would be obvious who he would have empaneled a grand jury.
he declined…because he lacked courage.
durham is not a fighter…not a serious fighter.
he believes in institutions of power and central state “stability”.
what he failed to recognize is that real criminals committed real crimes of enormous consequence and peril to the very foundations of what our laws AND PUBLIC OFFICER were empowered to protect against.
in this, his failure, marks a new chapter of decline in American History..
the age of cowardice.
God Bless America
.
How scary would it be for any one person with only biased and foolish judges as his “weapons” to take on an army of spies, liars, backstabbers, and powerful players, not even able to know for sure who professing to be on his side actually were or would stay that way.
.
The lead FBI Agent and Prosecutor assigned to Durham were both plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Remington Arms in the terrible Sandy Hook School Shooting. Neither of them had a child in the school who was shot, had a child in the school or school district period, was related to any student, faculty or employee of the school or even knew any yet they both were awarded millions of dollars!
Go figure that one out!
Having a child in the affected school would be grounds for disqualification for jury duty.
Early on in Barr’s tenure, he made some statements that, to my ears, gave me hope that we would actually see some heads roll and people in cuffs. Words to the effect of “what happened to Pres. Trump” was abhorant, un-American, etc…. I recall it being pretty strong, sobering stuff. Another instance that further gave me hope was his testimony in a hearing on the hill (don’t remember which committee) and the Dem’s were particularly un-hinged and vile in their treatment. He kept his cool, answered questions and at times, seemed to be enjoying the freakshow. At the time I thought Barrs thinking was, “I’m gonna take an enormous dump on these lunatics sometime very soon. Let ’em have a good hissy fit .”
Well, we know how that turned out. Hell of a performance Bill. You had me for a spell. GFY you POS.
Bill Barr seems to think that his grandchildren will be exempt from horrors that a Democrat Party run United States will be in twenty years!
Democrats might reward them, however, since Bill Barr is the one man who made all of their dreams come true!
“… didn’t Barr and Durham come into this with impeccable credentials as hard-hitting, honest, get-to-the-bottom-of-it investigators and prosecutors?”
Yes, they sure did! When Trump appointed Bill Barr people were overjoyed. Finally, Trump had an Attorney General with reverence for the law and a love for the Department of Justice. Surely he was morally outraged by what had occurred and was going to clean house. Cleanse the temple of justice with fire. John Durham was his executioner.
But he didn’t. He merely covered up with a figleaf of accountability. As Sundance said – bondo and spray paint. A cheap repair that looks good, from a distance, but does nothing to repair the damage.
Just like the FBI and Director James Comey. I remember well back the summer of 2016, during the Hillary Clinton email saga, none other than Rush Limbaugh (hardly a naive observer) expressing disbelief that the FBI would debase itself and sully its reputation to cover up for Hillary. He actually stated that Comey had a reputation as a Boy Scout and a straight shooter.
Limbaugh covered the now infamous Comey press conference live. Rush chimed in occasionally as Comey outlined the various federal crimes Hillary committed, stating his opinion that Comey had to recommend charges. When Comey wrapped up by exonerating Hillary of all wrongdoing despite the evidence Rush was gobsmacked. He never imagined Comey would take down the entire FBI. But he did.
As we all learned later, in 2017 and 2018, the Hillary Clinton whitewash/cover up was just the tip of the iceberg. The FBI, and the rest of the celebrated Intelligence Community, are corrupt to the core.
The cancer of corruption has contaminated everything in Washington, DC. Compared to cleaning up that mess the Augean stables was a piece of cake.
https://olympioi.com/monsters/augean-stables
For Trump or any other prp America and Constitution President to survive nearly 3/4 of our government needs to be fired, down sized, and just eliminated under term limit laws retro active and inforced.
Start getting America used to what that will look like – run various scenarios.
Do they all go out on strike? Do they burn the buildingsgs down? Who protects those carrying out those orders? Do we just stop paying them. What stays, what goes. Don’t be facile; be pragmatic.
Thank you, Sundance.
You are THE BEST!
Cold Anger for these Crap Weasels who will burn in hell.
Yes, may they burn in hell, right after a quick trial and a quicker hanging.
You’re not talking a lynching, they are quick, you’re talking a “Public hanging” which is an Execution carried out by the State, in a venue for all to see and that, by its nature takes time and professionalism.
The gallows can not be slapped together, it requires sound, professional carpentry.
A platform, raised just above head height, so that all of the audience can clearly see the “action” with an unobstructed view.
Sides all around, so the audience can NOT see below the platform (in case the hangsman makes a longrope error, details to follow on that.) 13 steps leading up to the platform, and the tread and rise of each step within 1/8″ of the others, as otherwise anyone climbing up or down is guaranteed to fall.
A public hanging is a solemn event, and to have the guest of honor being escorted up with a deputy on each side, and all to go tumbling down, is not good decorum, and could even lead the guest of honor to escape.
The actual gallows must be strong enough to handle the sudden pull of 200lbs. and the trap door properly constructed and well greased. Imagine the hangman pulling the lever, nothing happens and he is then stomping on the trap door, trying to get it to release, lol.
Which leads us to the hangman, himself. Not just anyone, the hangsman must have specialised knowledge; how to tie the hangsmans noose, with the traditional 13 loops, which is placed just so, so as to cause the Guest of honors neck to snap after a short drop, and be a guaranteed slip knot that will asphyxiate, should the hangman err and make the rope too short, which means the neck isn’t snapped.
Why not just make the rope plenty long enough to guarantee a snapped neck?
Well, if there is too long a drop, before the rope goes taught, rather than just snapping the neck, the head pops off, and the decapitated corpse continues to the ground, below the gallows (hence the “curtain” all around as people tend to be disturbed seeing a decapitated body).
Still worse, as the rope is most taught, stretched like a rubber band just when the head disconnects from the body, the head tends to get flung up and out, sailing thru the air, like a soccer ball.
According to an article in the Bisbee Star newspaper, on one occasion such a wayward head flew through the air, landed and rolled to a stop right at the feet of a banker, sitting in the first row.
“OMG, its his head! Whatever shall I DO?” he implored.
A grizzled old miner, sitting next to him asked;
“Well, does it still have its EYES?”
Gulping down his rising gorge, and glancing down briefly he said “Yes,…WHY?”
“well then” said the miner, “you can’t bowl with it, so what the hell GOOD is it?”
Obviously, this is NOT the desirable level of decorum you want for a public hanging, so one might think intentionally making the rope short, so as to avoid this flying head catastrophe, would be preferable, but no as it entails its own,..challenges.
Without enough drop, before the sudden stop, the neck is not snapped, which would tend to mean a quick “clean” death with minimal body jerking.
Imagine the difference between hanging adam Schiff, and Jerry Nadler, to appreciate the challenges of the hangman.
Now, if the guest of honor is “shortroped” they die a slower death, from asphixiation as the knot is drawn tightly.
Not only does their body jerk for several minutes in a most disturbing fashion, it is also quite ,…humiliating in other ways, so much so that when particularly heinous criminals are being hung, people in the crowd can be heard to shout “Hang him high!” and “shortrope the bastard!” and similar imprecatuons to the hangman, encouraging him to intentionally make the rope short.
You see there is a physiologic effect that occurs when a man is asphixiated, the same effect as taking a certain BLUE PILL….
After the shortrope hanging of the notorious Black Bart, two spinsters were walking past the gallows where barts body still hung.
One said “Well, Barts hung, thats certain!”
The other, glancing up briefly at the gallows replied”Yes, and certainly WELL hung!”
To conduct a Public Hanging properly requires professionalism, and a “lost art” knowledge few if any alive possess.
As usual, very well articulated and presented…I salute you sir 🖖🏻
Glad ya liked it, its been awhile since I have done my detailed dissertation on Public Hanging,..but seeing lots of newbies, I thought some may not have read it before.
.
Ick. Just shoot them.
.
I do believe that Albert Pierrepoint’s notes and tables still exist in a museum.
Perhaps they can be examined and copied for future reference?
Bondo Barr, covers the rust, however it’s never really fixed.
Invaluable research.
Government borgs at every level protect their own jobs first. Everything else is secondary. Founders were wise. They never wanted Big Federal Government. Nor do we. But this is where we are today.
1962- the year JFK let government employees unionize. We lost America at that moment. We created a now massive government employee class of Americans.
Earlier. Much earlier.
1913
1947
Definetly an awful lot occurred during the “teens” (1910-1920).
Bolshevic Revolution
Income Tax
Fed Reserve
17th amendment
WW1
Freaking Wilson
etc…
Neither Durham nor any of the thousands of FBI Agents and DOJ lawyers belong to a labor union.
And he did it with a damn Executive Order, not even a LAW.
Those damn things should be outlawed.
Our system if government can only work with a well informed moral people. We are way past that now.
Yes, it’s the good, long look at that what’s left of the American citizen mindset that makes you wonder what a future America has.
There is an entire spectrum of political thought throughout the US. There are a few square miles of space occupied by the most vile human filth imaginable. DC and surrounding suburbs are teeming with vermin. May an alien race nuke them all and give the rest of us a chance to return to agreeing to disagree, without some jackboot showing up at our door.
The days of pacifism are suspended until the enemy is obliterated.
Why does it have to be an alien race? s/
Can’t speak for the beliefs of the Catholic priest who wrote the book, but the picture shows what America’s government has become. Sadly, clubs alone will never eradicate the deadly virus of sin we see manifested daily in all manner of corruptness and crime by the controling authorities.
Thank you, GOP, for giving us all the corruption that Sundance describes above. My elected GOP just made it all possible! Barr represents the very BEST of the elected GOP (i.e. there is no “GOP establishment” or “RINO’s; THEY ARE ALL ESTABLISHMENT RINOS!)
I can’t WAIT to vote party line GOP again, like I did for over 40 years prior to Trump. It’s just … it’s just that the GOP has SO earned my trust, that I can’t wait to reward them with my vote and my campaign dollars!
/end sarcasm
(Sorry, but I need to step away and upchuck … )
“My elected GOP just made it all possible..”
ELECTED? Surely you jest.
The GOP views you as the enemy just like the Democrats do!
So if Mueller and Durham were both part of the ongoing cover-up to protect those ‘inside government’. Are Special Counsels Huber,Weiss, Hur, and Smith just part of the continuum? What was/is the purpose of each of their investigations?
Yes, they are!
And now we have Alexander Smirnov, a paid FBLie informant just like Danchenko except that I believe the Smirnov thing is all lies. He was indicted in order to demean and diminish the congressional investigation into the Bidens. He was likely told to go along, there won’t be any punishment, and when it’s over you will be in a better position as an informant.
It’s possible the bribe accusation was true but now that he has been arrested for lying, it convinces a few key republicans to never vote for impeachment. Done.
Dual citizenship (Isreal) is always a cause for examination from all angles.
They had to burn a source, and reveal the dual citizenship.
Ouch.
Worth keeping track.
Probably 90% of FBI CI’s are recruited by their handlers having “something on them” OR by the offer of $.
The FBI have large sums available, and it is offered tax free.
What would you, or people you know be willing to do for $100,000/year, tax free?
And often the “offer you can’t refuse” is both a carrot AND a stick, $ to perform, prison to refuse.
I suspect that everything Smirnov said about Biden was true. Every witness against Biden and Hillary Clinton gets indicted.
Rep Victoria Spartz Points Outs Durham’s incompetence and lack of integrity in Congressional Hearing…
>> MR. DURHAM, I WILL QUOTE EXCERPTS FROM YOUR REPORT, DESCRIBING THE FBI ACTIONS IN TRUMP’S CASE. YOU CALL THEM SOBERING, AND CALL THEM ALARMING:
RAPID OPENING, IT MADE NO SENSE, NO SOUND REASON, NO EXPLANATION, IT DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN. AND EVALUATED INFORMATION, RUMORS AND SPECULATION, STATEMENTS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED. MISREPRESENTATION OF RECORDED CONVERSATION. SERIOUS LACK OF REGARD, CHOOSING TO IGNORE RED FLAGS. IGNORING ALL RECOMMENDATIONS DUE TO DISCLOSED INTELLIGENCE, THEY DID NOT GIVE PROPER ATTENTION TO FACTS, THEY DID NOT ADEQUATELY EXAMINE, DID NOT RECEIVE SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION, WAS NOT INFORMED, NEVER CORRECTED ASSERTION. NEVER ADVISED, NEVER GIVE A PROPER CONSIDERATION, IN A FORCE OF ACTION. IT FAILED TO MAKE NO, IT FAILED TO ACT, FAILED TO FOLLOW A LOGICAL LEAF. FAILED INTERVIEW, FAILED TO REVISE THE PAPERWORK, FAILED TO TAKE EVEN BASIC STEPS. FAIL TO DETERMINE, FAILED TO INTEGRATE, FAILURE TO FULLY EXPORT THE MATERIALS. FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONSIDER, FAILURE TO PROPERLY CORRECT ERRORS. IT WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION, INTENTIONALLY FABRICATED DELEGATION. NUMEROUS SIGNIFICANT FACTS. 17 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS. THEY MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY, OMITTED, EMAIL OMITTED INFO, FAILED TO CORROBORATE, RESISTED EFFORTS, CONFLICTING RECOLLECTIONS. THEY DECLINED TO BE INTERVIEWED, LACKING SIGNIFICANT PROBABLE CAUSE. HIGHLY UNUSUAL INSTRUCTION, AND THE LIST GOES ON. DOLAN WAS EXTENSIVE CONNECTION TO THE PARTY, AND CONNECTION TO SENIOR RUSSIAN OFFICIALS. THEY WERE NEVER INTERVIEWED, REQUESTS WERE DENIED, THE CASE WAS NEVER OPENED. THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO CEASE ALL ANALYSIS RELATED TO DOLAN. LEADERSHIP WERE DIRECTED TO DEDICATE RESOURCES TO DOLAN, THE FBI QUESTIONED HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS, IF THEY DID NOT INTERVIEW DOLAN. FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONSIDER PRIOR RUSSIAN ESPIONAGE CASES. THE FBI RAISED SERIOUS CONCERN. MANAGEMENT IGNORED AND RESISTED ALL RECOMMENDATION AND SUPPORT A CONTINUOUS PAYMENT TO HIM. SPECIAL VOID TO LEAVE, DISSEMINATING THE U.S. OFFICIAL AND DESTROYED HIS RECORD. HE WAS EXTENSIVELY — SECRETARY CLINTON — FORMER HEAD OF THE FBI’S INTELLIGENCE DIVISION IS INVOLVED WITH THE CANES, RECENTLY WAS ACCUSED OF TAKING MONEY FROM — CLINTON’S CASE STARTS IN STARK CONTRAST, LACK OF ACTION, CONSIDERABLE CAUTION. NEVER OPENING THE INQUIRY, BRIEF AND CORROBORATING INFORMATION, NO EFFORT TO INVESTIGATE THE CEASE AND DESIST. HE DECLINED TO ISSUE SUBPOENAS. ARE YOU CONCERNED WITH THE FBI’S REPUTATIONAL HARM, BUT IT APPEARS TO ME USING THIS LEXICON, THIS IS ALL THE CLASSIC EARMARKS OF COLLUSION COVER-UP. HOW NOT 1% WENT TO JAIL AND OPERATIVES LIKE JAKE SULLIVAN OF THE HIGHEST NATIONAL SECURITY POSITION IN OUR GOVERNMENT, WHO’S ACTUALLY DRIVING A VERY SLOW RESPONSE TO THE RUSSIAN INVASION IN UKRAINE. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED? >
All I can say is that I noticed the word failed/ failure is used over a dozen times, how should such failure be rewarded?
Please watch the video. It’s brutal. Victoria destroyed Durham and he deserved every minute of it!
Your caps lock is on.
My favorite part was in Durham’s indictment it was documented that the FBI was “duped” (or words to that effect). Had those rascally Clinton people just told the FBI the truth, none of this would have happened. I still remember reading the indictment and laughing because it made it clear to the casual observer that John Durham was never going to pursue the actual government conspirators.
Then he testified to Congress and we all found out that people like Comey never had to testify. They simply refused and the matter was dropped. Lots of Trump allies have been convicted of obstruction of justice and been given prison time for refusing to testify.
There’s going to have to be a reckoning next year when Trump wins. I don’t think he wants to do this and instead says things like “success will be our revenge”. But there’s GOING to have to be a public airing of what actually took place and accountability of those involved in the various coup d’etat plots.
There is no statute of limitations on sedition.
Well, rather than using sedition to attempt to address the Statute of lim, I would just use the accurate and tried and true CONSPIRACY route.
If 2 or more conspire to commit a crime, then commit the crime, and then engage in an ongoing conspiracy to cover up the crime, you can charge them with CONSPIRACY to commit the crime, and Conspiracy to cover up the crime, and any statute of limitations only starts, after the last overt act they commit, to futher the conspiracy i.e. cover up.
I agree PDJT may well be hesitant to actually have a full public airing, and extract a reckoning, and Justice, and I can understand why.
He HAS talked about a “Truth and Reconciliation” process, although I don’t know if he has shared any details…
He has talked about prosecuting any using the law to promote racial bias (DEI, etc.).
Still, he wants to HEAL the country, not tear it apart.
I know I want revenge, and Justice, …but whats BEST for our country?
A reckoning is what is best for the country. A clear, bold, unmistakable, gutting of the federal bureaucracy, and hiring of the biggest ahole Federal prosecutors in America.
And an AG who will be absolutely ruthless in pursuit of media, bureaucrat, and elected officials who participated.
And it needs to be relentless and indefatigable in the face of media pressure.
An example needs to be set – revenge, and Justice for those who are destroying our country is best for our country.
Jim Jordan is going to write some strongly worded letters and add this to his rap monologue. He and Hannity will battle it out tonight with opposing raps in a battle for the coveted prize. Trey Gowdys letter-writing pen.
The Democrats are truly terrified of Air Jordan and his letters!
yes, it would have been impossible (IMPOSSIBLE) to conduct a real investigation (that would potentially lead to indictments) with only 9 (NINE) prosecutors assigned to Durham. This is the point I made as well. It’s a simple math and logistic question.
How many prosecutors are required to actually investigate and bring indictments to over 1000 people IN GOVERNMENT who conspired to manufacture, unlawfully use surveillance power, manipulate FISA courts, and leaks dozens and dozens of intentionally false claims against President Trump AND the people closest to him?
at least 500. That is the answer. That is the reality.
with 9…and only NINE (fact, durham never had more than 9 prosecutors and even fewer “staff”), there can never be a serious effort to actually investigate and thus one could never produce nor expect to produce indictments.
the first serious action taken by durham was when some jackwagon made a congressman nervous with an online tirade that used foul language and some threats. That is what durham investigated and brought to trial.
as far as clinewordsmith, I doubt that durham did any investigating at all. Clineworthsmith was likely punished from within because his actions were too obvious and impossible to cover up…durham prosecuted him with the vigor of a clumsy drunk….he never spent a day in jail…I think pleaded to a lessor charge and was fired. still has his law license.
yes, durham could never been seen as a legit prosecutor. with only 9 (nine), his purpose was to simply give the illusion of legitimacy.
another rare fraud that happened on a day ending with the letter Y.
God Bless America
Good work.
Next I hope FoiaFan does a big FOIA on the government to show all the weather manipulation going on as well in nearby countries and offshore.
Rep Victoria Spartz destroys Special Counsel Durham points out his incompetence and lack of integrity using Durham’s own report! Failure to prosecute FBI and DOJ officials.
A must watch machine gun humiliation…
The Durham report did have half a dozen footnotes with Lawfare references, which could just as easily have been left out of the report; they seem to have been included to convey the information that an organization called Lawfare exists, and that they have a website.
I held out a glimmer of hope with Durham, but then it was snuffed out. It was at that point that I lost confidence in my government.
Now my beginning point is that they can do no right and intentionally do wrong against us conservative, patriotic citizens.
FWIW,
This the only site that I can actually leave a comment on…
And the only site that I get an increasing dose of “Aw, snap”…try again, start over…
I know, just a coincidence…
Trust God. Fear not.
And Bongino released 26 names of Trump and the 2016ff Trumpworld leaked to him by DOJ/IC operative who knew 1st hand these people plus many more were “bumped” by FBI and CIA/Fiveyes. “BUMPED” is organized crime lingo for terrorized/harrassed.
Hey everybody!! If you could only ask Bill “Bagpipes” Barr one question. What would it be?
Two crooks finally uncovered! The corruption of the deep state knows no bounds! Bill Barr and Durham both belong in jail for lying to the President while trying to take him down. Traitors.
Wow.
The DOJ is corrupt and there is nothing that We the People can do individually to correct it. Hence, the Republic given to us if We the People could keep it has been taken from us as foreseen by Benjamin Franklin.
I have always know that all the investigations done by DOJ during Trump’s official presidency were operations by the DOJ to find and destroy any information that could reveal their treasonous activities. Mueller spent millions on nothing and Durham made sure he got everything.
Trump knows now the whole thing is rotten and if he can prevent the 2024 election from being stolen, I hope he wipes DOJ & FBI off the face of the earth and sends them all to Gitmo. The appearance of law and order is being used against the country and the corrupt dem lawyers are traitors.
American Betrayal:
The Secret Assault on Our Nations Character
By Diana West
Diana West video –
With this book West challenges the reader to see history 1930 through today with a new paradigm.
When a government operation, such as the appointment of a special council, is found to be an expensive, fraudulent operation, shouldn’t those government officials be personally liable to lawsuit by the taxpayers they defrauded?
If we had any intelligence in america we would have gone energy independent 20 years ago.
Government by the self-annointed elites and for the self-annointed elites.
The people just get in the way and must be trampled.
How to stage a tax revolt and defund the deep state, who is doing this to us while we are forced to pay the:
Will greatly relish watching Barr and Durham’s eternal agony in hell for their perfidy and conniving. What a delicious anticipation!
