CashApp is trying to make a big show out of picking the fly s**t out of the pepper. I get the impression that he and Bongo are in way over their heads.

.

And here’s another thing. The FBI Director doesn’t get to have “objectives”.

The FBI is nothing but the investigation division and law enforcement aka arresting force for the DOJ. The lawyers i.e. prosecutors are in charge, and in his current role, Patel is not one of them.
.

I think Bondi is looking for a 20yr career AFTER 2028. She want to be a playa in the DC Big Leagues. No more FLA swamp for her. So she’ll hem & haw & delay & pretend til Trump’s out & be rewarded with a plumb spot. Plaaaya..

Honestly, more disappointed in Bongino than in Patel. As soon as I saw Kash with a hot, new young girlfriend at his swearing in, I figured someone had gotten to him. Guess my instincts were correct, unfortunately…

Strikes un dos tres. Sean vanity. The very best that money can buy
He pops up and I slam the button instinctivly

Well, this is DC where Judge Biasbutt would get every case. Nothing legal will happen. I have long thought that the only tangible thing that could happen was just simply exposure. And hope some people will understand. No, it’s not what we want, but probably this is all we can reasonably expect to get.

Am I frustrated beyond measure? Of course. Hopefully, Tulsi’s will bear some fruit in the sharing also.

Realistically speaking, the probable only expectation we might get would be embarrassing CONgressionl hearings. No. There would not be any demonrats there. The public gallery would be empty. But I think its all we can really expect to get.

“Kash Patel Predicts Six Months and John Durham Could Bring Indictments
October 3, 2021 | Sundance | 194 Comments

CTH begins every review of the Durham news with the following disclaimer: If Special Counsel John Durham was going to reveal what optimistic folks proclaim as possible; how is Durham going to handle the reality that Robert Mueller’s entire existence was in place to hide it?… Notably, Kash Patel was not asked that question.

Kash Patel appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the latest developments in the John Durham probe. Patel formerly worked on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) with Chairman Devin Nunes, and was one of the key figures who authored the Nunes memo in early 2018.

Mr. Patel is optimistic in his discussion with Council on Foreign Relations member, Maria Bartiromo, and states that from his experience large conspiracy indictments can take several years to assemble. Patel believes Special Prosecutor John Durham, now 30 months into his investigation, is working his way through the investigative material and could bring indictments against DOJ and FBI government insiders in roughly six months or more.

Patel’s perspective should make the ‘trusty planners’ very happy. CTH does not have that same level of optimism or positive perspective for the primary reason of Robert Mueller. However, presumably Kash Patel would know much more accurately about what took place from his central position next to Chairman Devin Nunes (2017/2018/2019), then next to Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe (2020), and then next to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller. …”

Remember Vern (Ernest) ?

A little song
A little dance
A little seltzer down your pants!

Those of us in realville who have been following DC uniparty politics for decades, already knew this. It was obvious to anyone who wanted to put aside the hopium and BS being fed to a gullible public brainwashed by the fake news and our communist educational DEI labs.

When was the last time any uniparty corrupt, lying politician was arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned? Watergate? 60 years ago?

Ted Kennedy committed murder or at the least, criminal homicide and skated and was reelected. JFK, RK, AND TRUMP were all victims of being assassinated or attempted assinations by the crooked CIA. Neither Lee Harvey Ozwald or Crook were allowed to live to be questioned about their acts.

I am near the end of my life. I have given up on seeing anyone in the corrupt US federal government being held accountable for their heinous crimes. It ain’t happening. And frankly, I’m getting tired of hearing about it. At some point, it just becomes so what else is new.

5th generation warfare.

The battleground is the world, the theater of principal action at the moment is the US.

Speaking of which, in regards to the combination of the Federal takeover of the District of Columbia by the United States, and that review of the Smithsonian,

It turns out that yes, there are a heck of a lot of tunnels under the National Mall, and the National Cathedral, and elsewhere.
https://www.touristsecrets.com/destinations/exploring-the-hidden-underground-tunnels-of-washington-d-c/

Pelosis and Schiff’s and Rosensteins are fungible. The System will produce more if these particular useful puppets are tried and hung. Does there need to be a moral example and a large disincentive? Yes.

But the target for destruction must be the Beast System itself. The fiat money, the Mockingbird Media, the Nudge Units, the American Cathedral. Harvard. Yale. Etc. Their current existences as components of the worldwide Beast Slavery system must all be razed to the ground in order to kill the Beast for the next 100 years. Hanging Brennan will feel good, sure. Eliminating the central banks and especially the BIS is true progress.

Goal. Strategy. Tactic.

The Goal is Liberty.

Strategies include degrading enemy capabilities, undermining enemy morale, and depriving the enemy of resources (for example, fiat money printing and electronic voting systems).

Tactics include provoking the enemy (like forcing Chuck to put knee pads on) and baiting the enemy into acting in such a way that he walks himself into quicksand (like giving him the feeling that he can leak to the press with impunity).

Keeping the correct framing helps us understand about how the battle is being won.

.

And something else just occurred to me. Patel is coming off to me akin to someone who has been pushed to the side and is injecting himself to maintain relevancy. Hence the public release of stale Clinton stuff, and yakking on Hannity (which I think required Bondi’s consent.) No investigator or prosecutor in charge of a major case behaves in this manner of lookie-see-me-I’m-important.
.

I haven’t watched Hannity in years, maybe six? I couldn’t finish the second 6-min video. Sundance is a blessing. If not for him, I would still be rushing to the PC every morning to see if anyone has been arrested. This habit had all the emotions and feelings he is talking about now. So no more expectations is good.

Please support the Treehouse. 🙂

step one: “set the table” = a case for the public (opinion) more so on the left than MAGA at this point

Liberals must be educated before indictments or it will be chaos and mayhem

and i highly doubt they are going to disclose all of this and not do indictments because that too will get them civil unrest
chaos and mayhem and it won’t just be the left.

so as trump always says “set the table” – “smooth out the wrinkles”
I trust Trump has a plan and has spent much time on who would implement it
there is no way on gods earth that Trump would go through what he’s been through to not follow through.

So “Performative” , ok we can use your word or we can use Trumps version “set the table” IMHO.

@KyleSeraphin

When you have the goods you announce the indictment. When you have a need for narrative you announce the investigation.

Keep your eyes on people announcing investigations, “tick tock, MFer” types, “lawyer up!” Types, and “shocked to my core” types.

It is pro wrestling kayfabe.

Patel and Bondi seem to enjoy insulting the intelligence of the American people , if they think they can get away with this BS and believe the American people are going to be OK with it I’m afraid they’re both in for a very very rude awakening .

If serious consequences are not seen over the next year the midterms will be a disaster .

MAGA cannot survive fools like the three stooges. And with Suzie Wiles running interference who knows if Trump knows what is going on. We already know Trump is clueless on the Ukrainian war casualty counts.

We wanted this:

Instead we got this.

If you accept the premise that the institutions needed for prosecution are fully compromised, that the attempt to destroy Trump, was an unprecedented operation in scope and scale and that most of America are only now beginning to realise the real truth behind the MSM narrative, why then conclude that the best way forward is the traditional route.

What’s been impressive about this administration is its refusal to follow the path the DS predicted and planned for instead they’ve largely avoided the heavily mined path and forged new ways forward, sometimes adapting their enemy’s tactics to do so.

Getting past the candy cane tie isn’t easy.

Yeah, actors are gonna act. These people make me sick, so do the people that get sucked in by their BS.

George Santos in prison is all we get, pitiful

CT you hit the nail on the head…”We’re building a case for the American PUBLIC”…not a JURY!

Espionage Act and Certain Related Crimes Prosecutions for violations of the espionage statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 792-794)

Unauthorized handling or disclosure of foreign intelligence information collected under FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), particularly when done knowingly and with the intent to conceal, can lead to serious charges under various U.S. federal statutes. :

The Espionage Act, specifically 18 U.S.C. §§ 792-794, addresses espionage and related crimes, including gathering or delivering defense information to aid foreign governments, harboring individuals involved in espionage, and related offenses. Violations can result in significant penalties, including imprisonment and, in some cases, the death penalty.
_____

Key Provisions:

18 U.S.C. § 793 – Gathering, Transmitting or Losing Defense Information:

Covers the gathering, transmitting, or losing of information related to national defense, and includes penalties for unauthorized disclosure.
_____

Espionage Act and Certain Related Crimes Prosecutions for violations of the espionage statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 792-794), including those related to the misuse of foreign intelligence, have a 10-year statute of limitations.

Conspiracy For conspiracies requiring an overt act, the statute of limitations starts on the date of the last overt act committed in furtherance of the conspiracy. For conspiracies under statutes that don’t require an overt act, the conspiracy must continue into the limitations period.

It is important to note that the unauthorized disclosure of classified information collected under FISA, even without an intent to harm national security, can still result in criminal charges and severe penalties, including imprisonment and fines.

Here’s a breakdown of the potential penalties for Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information (18 U.S.C. § 793):
Imprisonment for up to 10 years, a fine, or both and forfeiture of any property or assets derived from the offense.

… yet Sundance earlier suggested Bondi might be released after the midterms.

Why release her if this is all a show?

Boring – all predictable. Time to turn it off.

Two tiered justice system actually maybe three. Yeah they all would been in cuffs by now if anything was gonna happen. They have the evidence absolutely bonkers. At least Tulsi did her job. Good for her.

President Trump wants accountability, and if he thinks people in his administration can’t deliver, they will be gone. He called Bondi publicly recently, and I believe she is on notice.

These government officials put him through the wringer for years, and he wants his pound of flesh. Kash, Bongino, and Bondi better produce, or they will be out.

These slow drips and tv appearances are intended to move the Overton window, so as to prepare us for something. It’s a psy-op.

Mr. Patel doth talk a lot.

Why does Kash keep speaking to Sean Hannity when he should know that he does not have much credibility if any?

Exactly

If you redefine your ‘goal’ as sunlight for the majority of the American public, rather than the legal punishment that these criminals deserve, then this is a good thing. Where there was darkness before, now there is sunlight….and not only sunlight for those who were aware of these events, but sunlight for those who are just waking up.

My comment will be before I finished reading your comments Sundance because, your words influence mine and you asked for mine. First, there is more than documents, etc., inside the Hoover building. There are people who have sworn to uphold justice. When will those who broke and continue to break this pledge going to meet their reckoning? Three or four top officials is not enough to ‘clean house’. Exposing what is exposed it not really getting the job done.

@Sundance,
“If they were building a case for a jury, they wouldn’t be on television talking about building their case.”

I have a different angle. The case is first being made to the public in order to correct the record. For the public to demand justice, they need to be convinced this is not a partisan exercise.

Our future “history” deserves this, even though the perpetrators may have gotten away with it.

For accountability, the perps should either be hanged or exiled. Jailing them would turn them into martyrs from the MSMs perspective.

You know Sundance I’ve commented but there is something I want to add. The problem with the top is they think they are ‘it’. They think they can fire a director, etc., and they’ve cleaned house. They don’t consider that that person(s) were enabled by lower workers. The queen bee is the most important in the hive but can’t survive without the workers. Corruption can’t survive at the top unless the workers enable it.

When these folks use the word “accountability” they mean one thing and one thing only, you might get an account of what happened. Anything else is your – – “educated” imagination.

I do not agree with Sundance that people with higher expectations are psychologically defective, nor do I agree with Sundance that Trump has zero to do with those expectations.

The expectations may not have been literally stated, but they were relentlessly encouraged. As they are being now.

All of which is to say, Trump is not the man many of us had thought. He has done and is doing many wonderful things.

But his slavish devotion to several absurdly false narratives, and his (and his administration’s) mockery and insulting behavior toward MAGA patriots, show that Trump’s goals and aspirations are not fully aligned with his most ardent supporters.

250 years of struggle continues.
Maybe we expect more than we deserve.
We’ll never reach perfection, but maybe one day, we’ll get it close.

God Bless America. Please.
And Thank You For All Your Blessings.

If we are being conned, then this will end in a complete collapse of MAGA. There will be no where else for us to go in a conventional sense. The lack of retribution will echo until we are dissolved as a nation. We must have indictments and justice. This is not negotiable.
The communists, socialists, and LGBT freaks control most of our urban landscapes; out of 30 million plus illegals we have maybe only removed 1.2 million ( a Sisyphean task), and the outcome of the 2026 midterms is very much in doubt. To squander away our opportunities now to restore justice to our administration of government would be a great betrayal, indeed.

What are the choices?
Don’t say anything except “It’s under investigation, I can’t talk about it”.?

Appear on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and have hostile questions, never responding to the answers?

Appear on Fox or Newsmax and say what you can say in a friendly environment?

It takes time to build the case and sort through all of the information before charges are brought. Location of where the cases are brought is paramount to a conviction. All loopholes have to be closed.

Yes we want revenge and justice, however it cannot just be wished it must be done carefully and done properly. If we were on the left we would be certain that President Trump should be in jail because he colluded with the Russians, because we heard it on TV. That is the problem with unequal justice.

I have come to believe everything about Kash Patel is deceptive. How does one person go from “make it into a museum” to he supports the FBI and there’s nothing to see here mentality? He had Bannon totally buffalo’d to the point where Bannon produced a documentary on Kash and his book.

I seriously cannot listen to this person any longer. He should receive the highest award for performative art.

Do you wonder if this is setting the table for an “Al Capone” conviction?
“This conviction highlights how law enforcement leveraged tax laws to prosecute powerful mob figures who were otherwise difficult to convict for their more violent crimes”

Not sure this is exactly how things will play out. I do believe the doj should stay off the cameras. But the public will not allow it. We scream for info, arrests, whatever. I believe in the silo apparatus importance. 90% of Americans have no idea about the silos and how they operate. I know one thing: what we learned, we thought we knew 5 yrs, decades ago are now being proven by whatever info is being thrown at us. That should build some confidence. All the caterwauling just continues their game. They use it. There is a difference right now…may be fleeting and/or thin, but it is there. I refuse to throw in the towel.

He still looks scared sh*tless.

As if the agents of the opaque agency across the Potomac in formerly bucolic zip code 22101, controlled by the veiled Controllers, “made him an offer he couldn’t refuse”.

That fits with what he has said and done since he “joined the team”.

No doubt ALL significant figures in this and all adminstrations are likewise controlled, but for some reason he looks more obviously frightened. Maybe an “offer” including threats to harm loved ones rattled him worse than most. Maybe most who reach these levels of power are more socio/psychopathic and are not as affected emotionally.

Footnote: If this is the way things work, is it plausible that Trump also joins the club of Presidents likewise controlled?

The Sidestep, comes to mind. From the movie Best little whorehouse in Texas.

Hannity is a tool of the Deep State and the choice of Solomon (the “tock” to the “tick”, Hannity) seems to corroborate Sundance’s analysis; what’s missing is Sara Carter’s occasional appearance for a piece of eye candy–Pam Blondi just doesn’t cut it anymore.

I am so fargin furious right now

Stopped long ago, listening or watching.
Don’t recall the last episode I’ve watched on Fox of ANY show. Been yrs.

Benghazi started and ended Fox, capitol hill, ‘the govt’, fBI, DOj, Breitbart, et als for me.

I read CT daily and keep up with the ‘accurate’, real news.
Herein, IS the real, accurate news.

Thankful for this website.

In my view, it’s not useful to point out that Kash Patel, Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino etc aren’t going to do anything to prosecute the criminals of Russiagate… I think everyone already knew that ..

the minute I saw the new FBI director watching Ovechkin night after night whether he’s break Gretzkys all time scoring record, I instinctively knew he was upto no good

What the Deep State is always criminal but legal because that’s how the mafia rolls…the rule of law was always meant to protect criminals like Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Comey etc while pretending to give innocent people a “fair trial”

Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein fiasco and he got what he wanted.. the rest is all performative.. when his term ends he will be remembered more for trying to do something about illegal immigration and re establishing blue collar jobs

The Deep State actors can only be punished by God, the current legal system in your country is built to protect them

So once again the elite politicians escape serious consequences
