Interestingly, yesterday I posited some random thoughts about accountability on Teh Twitter, noting that a few dozen random accounts know more about Russiagate individually than any person who has ever sat in a room with President Donald Trump. [FWIW – The author of this story I’m highlighting agreed.]
Miranda Devine notes in a New York Post article (Murdoch publication), polling shows more people are following the declassification of Russiagate documents than ever before [READ HERE]. That’s both a good thing from the perspective of an enlarged awakening but also holds a serious downside if people are focused on the delivery of accountability.
The series of documents declassified by the DNI (Gabbard), CIA (Ratcliffe) and FBI (via Grassley) has not changed the arc of the story; but they have provided strong evidence to support what was already obvious.
Essentially: the Clinton Campaign and the U.S. Intelligence Community, particularly the FBI, conspired together to exonerate Clinton from her email scandal, and frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset to assist her election win in 2016.
Everyone who has walked the deep weeds of Russiagate/Spygate has essentially known this framework for seven or more years. The DNI, CIA and FBI evidence is providing receipts for the operation as it unfolded. The latest evidence has proven the conspiracy researchers accurate, and the corporate media participants who participated in the ruse are not happy.
Miranda Devine breaks down the data on who is following the story and what the releases have done to squash the defenses of those who tried to label the Clinton/FBI operation as conspiracy theory. All of this is a very positive outcome and a greater percentage of the public are now aware.
However, there’s a downside as a result of those who are new to these discoveries. Even more people are thirsting for accountability for the conduct, and those who are very familiar with the story are renewing expectations of criminal activity against the perpetrators of the fraud.
Those who carried out the operation did not leave a trail of signed documents outlining their misconduct. There is no one single element of the very complicated story that provides a ‘gotcha’ moment. Instead, there is an assembly of mounting evidence that showcases how the fraud was perpetrated. Each document release adding more layers of corruption to the pile of fraud as it was manufactured.
The Clinton campaign knew what they were creating. The Obama White House knew what was happening. The CIA could see what the Clintons and her FBI/DOJ allies were assembling, and the FBI was a willful participant. All of this is not refuted, despite the Gordion knot of plausible deniability they wrapped it in.
The problem for the Trump White House is not that Clinton and the IC collaborated to frame Donald Trump in 2016. The problem for the Trump White House in 2025, which now becomes a problem for the Dept of Justice, is that a large portion of the American public expect some form of legal accountability for it.
Absent of criminal liability, people with increased knowledge get angry at the lack of accountability. Simultaneous with this increased knowledge, people are susceptible to the influence of outrage voices amplifying the criminal accountability demand. It’s a precarious position for the White House and Dept of Justice.
If the Trump administration does not ‘punish’ the perpetrators, they run the risk of losing electoral support. However, when you look carefully at how the fraud was perpetrated, the criminal aspect is a very challenging hurdle.
The overarching defense of the perpetrators pertains to the baseline of the fraud itself, which is, essentially, that candidate, then President-elect and eventually President Trump was compromised by Russia.
The Obama White House, FBI, CIA and aggregate IC claim they were investigating whether Donald Trump and members of his administration were taking action to the benefit of a foreign adversary, Russia. Outwardly, President Obama famously warned his officials to make sure all things within their investigation were done “by the book.”
When the CIA or FBI failed to brief Trump-allied Republicans (ie. Devin Nunes), their justification is they were investigating something “sensitive” to the national security of the nation, and therefore unprecedented measures were taken.
Sure, you can argue the officials at the top of the CIA, FBI, DNI and DOJ knew Trump-Russia was nonsense, but how do you prove it… I mean, really prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Even with the mounting declassified releases, you end up in the Horowitz/Durham conundrum, saying “they should have known.” Unfortunately, that’s not criminal.
The CIA or FBI leadership lied to congress, misled congress or were “less than fulsome’ with congressional oversight. Again, they fall back on the unprecedented approach and sensitive national security threat – that’s the shield. Yes, we did not answer the question(s) accurately -even honestly- to the U.S. govt., because we were investigating the U.S. govt.
In these matters of potential national security compromise, the CIA can easily lie to congress and then claim the lie was necessary to protect the government against the threat, and the investigation thereof. The ‘we had to lie’ scenario.
All of the players within the fraud end up carrying some form of plausible deniability, so long as the originating context for the investigation remains valid, even if it is tenuously valid. Something akin to ‘we saw Russian intel intercepts outlining a potential plan by Clinton, but there was also the potential of the Trump-Russia collusion being real’, so we had to look into it…. and we did it, “by the book” where there was no “book” to guide us.
Those legal defenses, while frustrating to accept – and almost entirely based on lies, are valid and purposeful when outlined in legal proceedings. Unfortunately, that legal defense seems to cover all of the 2015/2016 and even early 2017 participants.
Keep in mind, Inspector General Michael Horowitz conducted three investigations with only one criminal referral, Kevin Clinesmith. [(1) IG investigation of Clinton emails. (2) IG investigation of FBI conduct in Clinton investigation, and (3) IG investigation of FISA abuse (Carter Page)]. Additionally, Special Counsel John Durham investigated the origin of Trump-Russia and was never able to penetrate any of the top names for criminal accountability.
All four of these extensive investigations end up as defensive legal shields against any indictment, and the media is already using them to full value. Factually, all those previous investigations create significant “reasonable doubt.”
Intwined inside this legal Gordion knot is the problem for the current Dept of Justice.
Making matters worse still, in a little-known court filing, which has not had enough scrutiny, the President Trump DOJ told the FISA Court in July 2018 that predication for the investigation of Carter Page was valid [SEE HERE].
If the Donald Trump Dept of Justice was saying the warrant against Carter Page was legally valid in 2018, a full two years after the FBI began investigating the Trump-Russia collusion, then how can the Donald Trump 2025 Dept of Justice claim the investigation of Donald Trump was invalid.
We essentially watched any hopes for Russiagate legal liability melt as a result of that July 12, 2018, letter. Which, stands on soapbox, is exactly why I was shouting about it when the letter was finally revealed FIVE YEARS AGO.
The Trump DOJ wrote the letter to the FISA Court after Inspector General Michael Horwowitz released his highly critical investigative findings into the Carter Page FISA application. The Trump DOJ told the FISA Court that despite the information from Horowitz the application was properly predicated. THIS IS IN 2018!
Keep in mind this letter to the court was written by AAG John Demers in July 2018. Jeff Sessions was Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein was Deputy AG; Christopher Wray was FBI Director, David Bowditch is Deputy, and Dana Boente was FBI chief-legal-counsel.
[SOURCE]
As you can see, there are a myriad of defenses for the Russiagate conspirators to draw from, including defenses directly from the Trump administration. Which brings me to the final two points.
For President Trump the most dangerous part of this entire storyline is pushing an expectation that criminal indictments could be possible. Instead, the possibility of criminal accountability is almost non-existent. Expectations need to be managed. Because if people get their hopes up and then nothing happens the collapse in morale could be politically devastating.
I am open to hearing counter opinions established in solid framework; however, based on current evidence, from my perspective the only people who potentially show any signs of legal accountability are the ones who come along AFTER Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann begin their 2017 coverup operation.
The court of public opinion is the venue for the rest.



Again, 1/2 the democrats do not care what the democrat/deep stat did to Trump. The other half of the democrats aren’t paying attention to this story simply because their media keeps them uninformed. However, they won’t be able to ignore indictments and prison terms.
I have personal contact at work and in my extended family with a large number of true blue Democrats. Almost without exception, they were back then, and are now today, fully on board with any nominally criminal actions the Deep State might take to remove Donald Trump from office, including assassinating him if it comes down to that. They hate him that much.
If “The People” truly do want that accountability, then there is no harm in my view of trying to give it to them. When the Deep State continues to defy accountability, call it out and let the people see it and get angrier. They should be. In the meantime, punish them all with process. What’s good for the goose and all…
18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
If it was good enough to find Stewart Rhodes guilty, it’s good enough to find Obama guilty.
I sincerely hope that they have more than what we have seen made public thus far.
If DOJ pulls the trigger and can’t make the case…………..
seemed to me they have revealed a ton, with more to come.
Make the case OUTSIDE OF DC and its suburbs.
Florida or Military Tribunal?
Maybe out of my league here, but I must ask what particularly shows you there is not enough evidence in what has already been released?
Respectfully have to ask did you read the full article at the top of this thread (this page) by Sundance?
Sundance outlines what the hurdles are to a successful prosecution and what some possible defenses might be.
Yes, I did read it, as well as the other articles since this topic of IC covering their asses with plausible deniability appeared.
I have a hard time buying it. It seems to me that the DOJ has enough to work with there is a good chance they can prove that the attacks against PDJT were all nothing but a big fat pack of seditious lies.
I may be incorrect, but in reading the articles that Sundance has posted, although very well written, and with all due respect to Sundance, appear to me as not definitely set in stone.
I’m reminded of an old love song that Tanya Tucker sang called “if it don’t come easy”… you’d better let it go. Although I believe she had a point when singing about the the prospect of love between a man and a woman, I just cannot make myself believe that what we are facing in our country, with all the mass corruption in high places, that it is not worth fighting for in order to bring it down. Even if it may be very difficult to do.
I have faith in God Almighty, and The Bible tells us that “With God all things are possible”.
In the ~14 years I’ve been reading here, I’ve come to the conclusion that the laws of our nation are set up to protect ALL members of the government (politicians, federal employees, contractors)from any legal accountability to the citizens. The current $7T in US Federal Treasury spending, if counted separately from the non government GDP, would be the third largest economy in the world. It employs~44-48MILLION jobs and if it were a separate nation would have the highest per capita annual GDP in the world, at >$180K. The entire system in DC is to protect those 44M people from US.
But they will have to pay their lawyers to find out
Grand jury indictments with subsequent matching pardons would have been OK with me–just to make a record/make a point/set a precedent–but I accept/agree that the unscrupulous were very scrupulous about their personal excuses/deniability.
Even the 52 intelligence and former intelligence “experts” never said what almost all the media said they did (regarding Hunter’s laptop). They and the media know how to play the propaganda game while skirting all liability.
A good, public, formally presented recap/expose from someone in the administration, which could even include points regarding reasons for non-prosecution, might even be useful at some point.
I would like to see more action on exposing/eliminating continuing FISA abuse, and maybe more importantly, non-FISA NSA database abuse.
Grand jury indictments with subsequent prison terms!!!!
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh
https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/svg/1f6a8.svg BREAKING: A grand jury has just been ordered to investigate the Trump-Russia Collussion Obama Deep Staters.
Criminal indictments possible.
They are using Tulsi Gabbard’s files.
Love that tablecloth on Hillary! I didn’t realize she made her own clothes. 😉
Then there is nothing that will stop it from happening in the future.
If a lie (that is known to be a lie) can be allowed to led to all the actions that followed, and no one can be held accountable, then the truth is just to keep us informed of what we already know.
EXACTLY.
And that is precisely the point for 7 years and it’s too horrifying. to contemplate.
Seems like this is getting way too many what-ifs in advance.
Make the case to the public, as they’re doing now. During that time, have the best legal minds strategizing legal strategy.
When the strategy is ready, and the case has been made to the public, indict, try, convict, and sentence.
Over-thinking, over-what-iffing, trying to play 18 moves ahead, risks missing the strike while the iron is hot.
This will be nothing but another dog & pony show.
When do we see people like these get prosecuted, we DON’T!
“There is no one single element of the very complicated story that provides a ‘gotcha’ moment.”
The flaw in this argument is that there is much evidence of a years-long conspiracy emanating from the President on down to the DOJ, FBI, NSA, and other agencies to bring down Trump, both as President and then as private citizen Trump. That conspiracy is continuing to this very day.
Conspiracy against rights. 18 U.S.C. § 241.
This statute prohibits two or more persons from conspiring to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to them by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of their having exercised such a right. It is a felony punishable by a fine or imprisonment of up to ten years.
Not that this is going to be the outcome, but it is no less plausible than your scenario.
what about the congress critters who also went along with fraud / obstructed oversight
Investigat, bring charges, and prosecute them, too! Prosecute every single one of the conspirators!
It’s got to come down to CIVIL suit, conspiracy to deprive DJT of his civil rights (preponderance of evidence, not irrefutable proof), with the goal of bankrupting all of them.
Start w. Hillary cover up, the Mueller shenanigans, Mara Lago, ALL OF IT — RICO the entire lot of them and start sending out subpoenas for document preservation.
Already deleted your phones by entering wrong password too many times?
Already wiped your hard drive “like with a cloth” ?
Already lied to Congress ?
Already falsified a FISA ?
Already said your actions were an insurance policy ?
Already gave your husband information to backdoor into an investigation?
Much like OJ — if it LOOKS shady, thats good enough. I’m thinking CBS & ABC were DJT just getting warmed up.
If they’re going to release everything, I think they need to release the information which contained the sufficient predication for the court? And, the target (agent of a foreign power) referred to in the letter was Carter Page. We already know that they lied about Carter Page and Kevin Clinesmith was found guilty of falsifying the document. Seems easy to bat this one away.
.
A few points.
Multifarious crimes. Multiple conspiracies too. “Everyone” doesn’t have to be indicted for “everything” in one ridiculously monstrous overarching legal case.
Re documentary evidence. Usually, the peons get indicted or just threatened first, so that they can flip. Witness testimony fills in the documentary evidence trail (which most criminals don’t leave.)
Re Carter Page. Page was not Donald Trump or his campaign organization, and there is evidence that he deliberately was installed into the campaign for the purpose of “being investigated”. And other, which I won’t go into. Whether a conspiracy existed/s doesn’t hinge on Carter Page.
(And by the way Obama is not “in the clear”. If he thinks so, then let him litigate that. The Supreme Court did not recognize “immunity” for ultra vires acts, and clearly said so. Media pundits, including “legal experts” who keep yammering this makes me think of the truism that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes accepted as the truth.)
Let’s just keep amplifying the known facts (not “opinions”), and see. Calmly and deliberately and purposefully, without speculations about how this or that one is going to “defend”, without unreasonable demands, without either optimism or “doom and gloom”, and without taking to heart the opining by a vast field of agenda’d media and air fillers (on all sides) who themselves have no special insider knowledge or crystal balls. Lawsuits require a lot of work, and it’s work that is best just done methodically and unemotionally.
.
My only hope, seriously, is that their reputations are irreparably harmed and they no longer work in government, inside government contractors, in the legal or political field, or receive any government funds via a “charitable” foundation/NGO or otherwise. As we often said, “the process is the punishment”.
I know, that if I had done anything even close to what they did, I would be in jail. So, I understand the sentiment, but it’s not going to happen. The “protected class” are all in cahoots with one another. The evil and rot is widespread. I don’t want to spend a decade or more “investigating” their B.S. I can leave it to God to sort out.
Well, those who are truly pulling the strings in the background, (the Satan serving Globalists,) will just look for a fresh batch of minions.
Those who we see as the “Powers in Charge” of this are merely minions.
Obama, Hillary, etc., are puppets.
Utterly replaceable.
why not locate some convenient windows in high rises
I have to disagree Sundance respectfully
This website is the evidence
But isn’t there value in the country learning that we’re being run by criminals that will never face justice for what they’ve done? There is value, I think, in waking people up to that reality.
Well, to me, this is just one of many examples of problems in Federal Government. There is definitely evidence of corruption leading all the way to the highest level of our government.
Will they actually be held accountable and prosecuted as a regular citizen would be- doubtful, which is another example of corruption.
Our elections have been corrupted and our elected officials and courts don’t seem to care. Another example. They won’t even investigate.
Congressional officials are getting wealthy with insider trading plus other methods, but no one seems to be interested-that’s just the way it is.
We get involved in foreign wars with misinformation and propaganda, but nobody cares except our Military Industrial Complex and their supporters who get wealthy.
There are so many examples and the Russia Collusion example is just one.
🤬
Just another point. I feel so naive that I expected elected officials were motivated to serve their constituents. I am feeling really dumb watching all the corruption in our governance-Local-State-Federal-UGH
A very depressing analysis,,,but,’bout what I figured. I know there sorry -s-ed liars, guilty as sin,, you know it,,,they know it,,-ell,, everybody knows it!! Every single one of these chumps will walk,,,kinda gives credence to the two tier legal system,, doesn’t it??
If the Grand Jury is convened in DC, the outcome is already fixed.
If no known named elected official that participated in this bs is never held accountable for illegal activity they knowingly participated in then what is the point of paying attention to politics?
What ‘the people’ want will most likely be ignored so why bother with any of them?
Yet we are suppose to gleefully fork over tax dollars so these criminal grifters can piss away millions of our hard earned tax dollars so they can pay some wanna-be fiction writer to have AI create some nonsense that the MSM pitches to us sheep as fact as they attempt to manipulate the system.
Utter madness.
And today on tweeter Quiver Quantium posted Nancy Pelosi is up $2M in the stock market today per their estimates.
Meanwhile many still struggle to pay for a damn carton of eggs. 🤮
I recall reading that Seth Rich may have been murdered because he may have been able to disprove Hillary Clinton’s assertion that the DNC emails were hacked by the Russians.
I also recall reading that Donna Brazile became very concerned, following his death amid suggestions that John Podesta had demanded severe penalties for any suspected leaker.
Whether or not these allegations had any basis in truth is conjecture.
Perhaps more detailed investigation of the circumstances of the murder of Seth Rich could result in additional evidence and perhaps some of the people involved include people who undoubtedly participated in the conspiracy to subvert the lawfully elected president, even if Seth Rich’s murder was not directly related to the coup.
There was an occasion many years ago, when a simple drug arrest led to the exposure of a massive arms and drugs trafficking operation which involved criminal groups and several intelligence agencies, laundering their money through banks from countries with diametrically opposed ideologies and religions.
This is why the DNC/DCCC “hacking” is such a powerfully guarded third rail. If it was exposed with detailed technical info on how it was a hoax, then criminal accountability could flow from it. I think there are other similar events out there that are part of the Russia hoax story but haven’t and probably will not be authoritatively investigated. Any of these I think could get past the plausible deniability.
– Who was Guccifer 2.0? Elon Musk’s X would have all the account’s DMs and logins. Anyone look?
– It’s been claimed John Brennan took info from CIA’s servers and moved them to separate ones maintained by the NSA. Anyone look?
– the DNC/DCCC hack we are to believe was real even though it was one of three known efforts by Sussmann to tie Trump to Russia, the other two being clearly untrue (Alfa Bank and Yotta phones hoaxes).
– how did Ferrante get right back into the White House after being kicked out?
– where are the tasking communications for Mifsud, Halper, et al? Anyone look?
– data for the the DOJ wiped phones by Weissmann et al would presumably be still available at the NSA. Anyone look?
Exceĺlent points.
For several years now we have seen Trump supporters thrown in jail on the most spurious of legal grounds. We have seen Trump himself made, legally, a “convicted felon” in a Soviet-style show trial.
Using the legal framework employed against Trump and his associated, it’s trivially obvious that Clapper, Brennan and the rest should spend decades behind bars.
The obstacle is not the lack of laws or legal framework or solid evidence. The obstacle is that the most crooked and corrupt part of our three branches of government is the judiciary … as can be seen in the endless parade of absurd injunctions against Trumps policies being written almost daily by the nations federal “judges”. Those crooked judges knew that the FBI and CIA were breaking the law to frame Trump, and they eagerly cooperated in the crime.
THAT is the problem here. It is not that some individuals in the Obama administration broke the law, though that of course happened. The problem, and it transcends mere legality, is that their criminal endeavor had the backing of virtually everyone in DC. That includes Chief Justice John Roberts, Senate Majority Leader McConnell, and House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Ultimately this is a political problem, not a legal one. Our government is fundamentally corrupt and lawless. That is not something which can be fixed by that same corrupt government conducting trials or other legalistic maneuvers. It requires the American people to start replacing their elected “representatives” (who clearly do not represent them) with people who are somewhat less odious.
I disagree. Brennan and Clapper wouldnt be lawyering up if there was no criminal .case able to be mounted. The “national security” shield falls apart when the question is asked “what natiinal security concern was there when the FBI leaked what they knew was a garbage dossier to the media to get an investigation and media narrative going?”. They cant defend it and when men like Papadopoulos, Flynn, Stone had lives and careers destroyed by investigations based on false premises they are legally culpable.
Things may get hot enough for some lesser minions to be sacrificed to the public wrath, but no one of importance will be punished.
In this life, that is.
Written evidence can be plain as day, but it can also be very dry, especially if voluminous – which this undoubtedly is.
It will take testimony from credible whistleblowers to actually make a case stick. We’ve read there are many, lets hope they live to tell what they know.
This is the most important kind of Truth. The kind that no one really wants to acknowledge or accept. With regard to the whole shebang, knowing it and proving it are two very different things, my dad used to always say.
We all know it, but no one inside govt is going to prove it.
I’m with you, Sundance. I am fatigued from the permanent outrage demands for vague something needs to.. or silly stuff like military tribunals.
Likewise I no longer feel the need to educate the willfully ignorant, nor change belligerent minds. For they can sit in their outrage addiction or fantasy land. I’m off to living my best, what is left of my life and knowing that as with all of us eventually, The Lord will deal with the true punishment deserved.
Ok, if their defence rests on the fact that they were investigating an unprecedented security threat, where’s the evidence of what they were investigating? Why raid Mar-a-Lago if they knew their defence was watertight. Why did Trump publicly accused Obama of treason, if he knew it would just depress his electoral support, by raising expectations that couldn’t be satisfied.
Good points! Where’s the beef???
My bet is Ed Martin is the guy connecting Crossfire Hurricane with Jan 6 which was an insurrection but played by the left.
And by connecting the “get Trump” criminal conspiracy players from 2016-2020 to the continuation on this coup with Jan 6 to present will eliminate the statue of limitations.
The criminal conspiracy has been going on for 9 years now.
Ed IMO is the guy who has been working behind the scenes in quiet and may end up being the guy presenting before the Grand Jury.
I hope Martin is the prosecutor. Who the prosecutor is will make all the difference.
Also agree with you that connecting it all is key. However, proving the 2020 steal would be challenging. I hope they could focus on proving the conspiracy (as you said nine years of it) without having to prove the actual steal.
Mail fraud and wire fraud are relatively broad, together with ongoing conspiracy statutes to extend statutes of limitation. Obstruction of justice by hiding evidence (from Congress, the Inspector General, even FOIA as an approach) has apparently continued until recently, with the announcement of hidden room, burn bags, and intentional unsearchability. I don’t think ‘national security’ would apply to hiding evidence from the IG, or Congress. And the evidence withheld would have to be proven to be extremely ‘secret’ and harmful to the nation to justify lying, which will likely be overcome if at least some of these materials are released to the public. And the denial of rights under color of law and fraudulent government services are very broad and likely applicable to perps using their government positions. Even erasing of government phones en masse and destruction of hillary’s records while under subpoena are easily proven, and can be presented as part of a continuing conspiracy. There must be much more in the records. The problem will be narrowing it down to an understandable story (or as an almost always-winning trial attorney told me, ‘get it down to gingersnaps’ for the jury)..
Thank you, Sundance. A dose of reality is welcome.
As much as I wish there could be accountability, there will be no criminal action for these individuals. The system is designed to protect these actors from any personal or professional harm. There will be no jail. Unlike Cersei Lannister, there will be no walk of shame or public scorn. They live in a world designed to avoid responsibility.
And just as the Capitol in the Hunger Games, Washington, D.C., sits at the top of a system built on separation of powers and checks and balances. But in reality, many of the most consequential decisions escape real accountability. Congress writes and votes on legislation, yet lobbyists shape much of what lands on lawmakers’ desks. The president signs or vetoes those laws, commands the armed forces, and issues executive orders; at every turn, enforcement agencies answer only to the political leadership that put them in place. Any independent investigation by inspectors general, ethics committees, or special counsels relies on the very institutions whose misconduct it might expose.
When policies lead to questionable wars, mass surveillance programs, or regulatory failures, there’s rarely a courtroom where lawmakers or agency heads face penalties. Votes of censure in Congress carry no legal bite. Inspectors general can issue reports full of damning detail and still see few resignations or prosecutions. Even the Supreme Court often waits years to rule on executive overreach, long after decisions have reshaped lives and budgets.
Critics argue that meaningful accountability exists only when voters oust incumbents or when whistleblowers force headlines. Still, those mechanisms depend on public attention cycles and party politics rather than objective justice. Others point out that oversight hearings, grand jury investigations, and inspector-general probes do occasionally lead to indictments. Still, as we saw with Klinesmith, that is usually against lower-level staffers while top officials shrug off subpoenas or invoke privilege to stall inquiries.
The only hope for real reckoning comes when administrations change and new leaders pledge reform. Unfortunately, even then, most of the old decisions remain in place, and few individuals ever bear personal responsibility.
In Washington, accountability isn’t delivered by a judge’s gavel, the next election, or by history’s judgment as administrations rise and fall. It just goes unanswered, like a distant foghorn echoing across an open ocean.
I don’t focus on accountability.
We will not have that in this life.
What we are getting, is exposure.
We are getting educated about the very rotten under belly of the Deep State.
They got arrogant and sloppy.
Evil always does.
Leave the retribution to God.
Educate yourself and those around you about the methods, and especially the motives, of our enemy.
Let’s not get lazy, let’s try to prevent this particular method of betrayal from happening again.
If they want to ruin this nation, make them work for it.
If all of these traitors can NEVER be criminally prosecuted for what they did, the structure and legal system of the United States is NO GOOD ! This nation cannot continue when such a vast coup cannot be stopped and ALL the perpetrators cannot be imprisoned. The scoundrels will be emboldened and will redouble their treason. This is a green light for far worse conduct beyond what has already taken place. Such legal impotency BEGS FOR VIGILANTE JUSTICE which could lead to all-out civil war.
I do agree if the Trump administration cannot bring justice in this matter, the Trump presidency becomes a hopeless mess and loses all value to decent and patriotic Americans. Future elections will mean nothing.
this is why I have been saying if you want justice, better be ready to dish it out 1776 style. ‘cuz otherwise, you’re shit out of luck. might as well stfu and keep it to yourself.
It is simply too much to put the responsibilty of an entire supposedly self governing people on the backs of so few.
Apparently the doj strike force…
is assembling a grand jury….
Not sure, what about. ; )
per Christina Bobb on war room 8/4/2025, 5 pm ct
“…polling shows more people are following the declassification of Russiagate documents than ever before. That’s both a good thing from the perspective of an enlarged awakening but also holds a serious downside if people are focused on the delivery of accountability.”
I disagree. It was only when lots of people like me got pissed after the GOP won big in the 2014 mid-terms, but then gave Obama everything he wanted, that made Trump’s entry into politics possible! We don’t want to keep people in the dark about this obvious treason. We want more people to have righteous anger about the lack of accountability in our government!
“If the Trump administration does not ‘punish’ the perpetrators, they run the risk of losing electoral support. However, when you look carefully at how the fraud was perpetrated, the criminal aspect is a very challenging hurdle.”
I’m not so sure about that either! That would presume the voters would be more inclined to punish those who tried, and failed, to punish the perpetrators than to punish the perpetrators themselves! That doesn’t make sense to me!
Sadly, it appears that people are thirsting for criminal indictments in the same way that they are thirsting for the release of a ‘client list’ for Epstein. All of this stems from the same psychology…..stemming from the vision of finally bringing down and punishing the criminally powerful. It’s not going to happen. We will not get a list of elite sexual predators, nor will we get imprisonment of the politically corrupt. Perhaps, however, we can set our sights on something that, in its own ‘small’ way, is even more criminal and might even bring that satisfaction we are looking for. The murder of Seth Rich.
Was it Nunes or Ratcliffe who made over a dozen criminal referrals?
Second, I saw somewhere where the DOJ is focusing on the coverup, and that had better legal exposure?
Third, why did Mueller’s team of 26 Federal attorneys erase 27 Federal smartphones?
Erasing a smartphone is a cumbersome, multi step process. It doesn’t happen by accident. Impossible. But that’s what all 26 Progressive attorneys asserted.
So what does that equal? They lied, destroyed government data, Conspiracy, what else?

Nunes calls for new criminal referral over Peter Stzrok texts
New messages from Peter Stzrok dealing with the Russia investigation were released earlier this month
“This is clearly lying and obstructing Congress. This is information that we asked for numerous times,” Nunes said.
“We sat in meetings with DOJ and FBI, and they sat there and stone cold said there’s no more information, there’s no more text messages.”
“The newly released messages include communication referencing the Russia investigation before it officially began, as well as a July 2017 message dealing with the nature of the probe itself, in which Strzok said he was worried “about having this as a [counterintelligence] case when we are really doing a criminal investigation.”
“These were the text messages that we really needed to run a proper investigation,” Nunes said. “Instead we had to go around we had to rely on informants, we had to piece all this together in order to get this out to the American people that hey, Trump campaign and Republicans were not only spied on but this was wrong.”
“Nunes was confident that Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, who has been leading an investigation of his own into the Russia probe’s origins, will take action.
** “I don’t see how John Durham can’t bust several people for lying and misleading Congress,” he said.” **
Nunes made 14 criminal referrals.
The cultural change has been staggering. 😀
WHAT TOP NOTCH ATTORNEYS CAN HANDEL THIS PROSECUTION FOR AG BONDI?
Eric Bove?
.
There are 10,000 lawyers in the DOJ. Plenty of them are perfectly competent to be on the team along with paralegals and researchers. They handle complex litigation on a regular basis.
.
1. 90% are Swamp creatures
2. We need attorneys w complex trial experience
Bill Shipley – @ShipwreckedCrew – worked in the DOJ for 20+ years and left when Eric Holder was inserted. He’s sharp and can communicate, and he eviscerated other lawyers.
I’m not pushing him per se. But we need someone appropriate for the venue. Not someone like James Comeys daughter, or a Conservative Kamala Harris.
9,500 to many.
We are getting small improvements, however, if you are looking for the 6am underwear perp walk filmed by CNN,…that…will…never…ever happen. Be content with the positives, love on your wife, kids, grandkids and dogs. Live your best life, Sundance expects that of us.
The string along game is so F’ing offensive.
Can someone point me to a good Sundance article outlining his theory that sloppy intelligence from within the US spy apparatus was laundered through Steele into the dossier and then presented back to the FBI etc?
I remember reading it but can’t find it now and need it to show a friend.
“The overarching defense of the perpetrators pertains to the baseline of the fraud itself, which is, essentially, that candidate, then President-elect and eventually President Trump was compromised by Russia.”
The IC never had any proof or reliable intelligence to start the fraudulent investigation in the first place.
I think that fact alone has already been proven. The fact that there was no legitimate reason to go after the Trump Campain was nothing beyond sheer political assassination and high conspiracy.
Therefore, I believe the idea that to prosecute would be counter productive is not much of an issue so far as I can tell.
Sundance, I respectfully ask, where is your faith, Sir.
Thank you for your question, “Sundance…where is your faith, Sir?” We can not rule out that there is a God in Heaven, and He reigns over all the affairs of man. I believe that He raised up Donald J Trump to turn this nation back to its foundation. That foundation was laid on the principles of the Christian faith. And throughout history, He has intervened when it looked like all was lost. Maybe it is time for God’s judgment on all mankind, but maybe in God’s mercy He will spare those who believe, love, and follow Him and instead rain down hell on those who have disobeyed, mocked, and killed for money and power.
I am counting on God’s righteousness to bring justice to the unrighteous, and I am praying it happens here on earth as I know it will on Judgment Day.
Going after the numerous and widespread criminal actions perpetrated by the election fraud machine is both the most important and the most productive of the investigative activities the DOJ could be pursuing for the next twelve months — working with a very focused determination before the summer of 2026 when the fraud machine will once again be kicking into high gear.
Yes, expose the Deep State plots against President Trump for whatever it may get you.
But use the theft of the 2020 presidential election, and the thefts of numerous downballot races in 2022 and 2024 as the primary means of highlighting the lengths the Deep State actors, the DC Swamp, and the Uniparty globalists will go to prevent the American people from choosing the leaders they want to manage our country.
At the very least it’s coming out as to what a POS Obama was/ is.
FWIW, SDNY judge rules against Nunes.
“Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes loses defamation suit over Rachel Maddow claims
” ‘No reasonable jury could find’ that Rachel Maddow engaged in ‘constitutionally-defined actual malice,’ a federal judge ruled”
It would suffice if all of the perps were sentenced to many thousands of billable hours by Washington DC lawyers and of course the disclosure of all the nefarious deeds to the public. No guilty verdict needed.
What needs to happen, is PDJT47 needs to let the “System” work on these conspirators, and hopefully squeeze them dry of their wealth as they leave government ‘service.’ Punish them by process.
Most of this will happen in the DC Circuit, so a combination of crooked judges and biased juries will allow them at the end of the process to walk free, a lot poorer.
At that time PDJT47 should appear before the public and make the point that the Deep state may have won that round, because they are too deeply buried for any President to root out.
The only force that can remove them is that People at the Ballot Box.
He should make the point that if you are furious about the lack of accountability, YOU must make the changes to correct it, At the Ballot Box. If you continue to vote in a Dimm to any office you can not expect any accountability.
The People MUST remove DIMMs from every office from Dog Catcher on up.
Only then will there be change, when the Dimms are totally out of power by numbers that will not allow them to obstruct again.
Rinos need removed too.
If we ever get election integrity back:ID, voter rolls scrubbed, paper ballots, no mail-in ballots, one day vote/count…in 1-2 election cycle all UNI-party thieves would be out of office.
Imagine if people became aware of the fraud of 2020 the way they are becoming aware of the Russia hoax. The majority of the country would be howling for the election changes you described.
The 2020 election and the J6 aftermath is more important to expose.
I feel the democrat half of the country does not care at all and will not howl for change
