Raise your hands, anyone who thought special counsel John Durham’s probe into the outrageous treatment of President Trump by the Obama FBI, DOJ, CIA, and State Department was ever going to amount to anything.
Anyone?
No one?
Me neither.
As Durham’s investigative “work” finally wraps up, it’s embarrassingly obvious he’s just another swamp creature with a nice suit, a bad goatee, and no spine.
A stroll back in time to May 2019, makes Durham’s ensuing abdication of duty abundantly clear. Back then, Fox News’s Brooke Singman described Durham as “aggressive, tireless, and fair.”
Three years later, we can see that Durham’s been about as aggressive as a Prince Edward Island oyster in a foul mood. If he’s been tireless, it’s been strictly in service to his Deep State masters. And when all the major players involved in the attempted coups against Pres. Trump walk with their pensions, licenses, and CNN jobs firmly in hand — and they will — you can throw “fair” right out the window.
Your first clue that this investigation would be merely a sham of a travesty of a farce was Singman pointing out in her article that Durham has done highly sensitive work for “both sides of the aisle.” In other words, Durham was the Mitt Romney of special investigators: a Democrat wolf in RINO clothing.
Clue #2 from this three-year-old article was the Fox writer elaborating on how Durham’s boss, then–attorney general Bill Barr, was working “collaboratively” with FBI head honcho Chris Wray (who’s currently hunting down conservatives); CIA director Gina Haspel (who stated that “Trump was like a six-year-old” and that we’re on our way to a “right-wing coup”); and DoJ inspector general Michael Horowitz, who’s made a career of not noticing Democrat malfeasance.
Talk about a stacked deck. Everyone running the Durham show was a NeverTrump, and they collaborated!
As it ends not with a bang, but a whimper, what has the Durham special investigation accomplished?
Not a thing.
FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was convicted of lying to a FISA court, allowing the Feebs to continue spying on a sitting president. His punishment?
Probation.
And despite his conviction for lying to a federal court, his law license was later reinstated, proving once again that the swamp always protects its own.
Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann was indicted for lying to the FBI. His defense team admitted he lied but claimed that his lies were immaterial. A D.C. jury bought that absolute baloney, and, unlike General Mike Flynn, Sussmann strolled out of court with an acquittal, his reputation and savings intact, and a smile on his weaselly face.
The final act of this pretend investigation is the current trial of Igor Danchenko, both a contributor to the absurd Steele dossier and a paid FBI informant. John Durham’s making the case that Danchenko tricked the poor, gullible FBI into investigating both candidate and president Trump. That would be the same poor, gullible FBI that later hired Danchenko simply to protect their lying Feeb behinds. Whether Danchenko is acquitted or gets a slap on the wrist depends on whatever ending the Deep State would like to serve up to the public, nothing more.
FBI directors Comey, Mueller, and Wray are all sitting down to a nice dinner about now, not a care in the world. Even though they tried mightily to take down a sitting, duly elected president.
Proven liars and co-conspirators like Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page are probably smiling at this moment as they review their bank statements.
Vile trolls like the CIA’s John Brennan and James Clapper, although furiously promoting every rumor, falsehood, and slander under the sun against Pres. Trump, are no doubt busy scheduling their next high-paying TV gigs.
Barry and Hillary, undoubtedly the prime movers of those seditious and anti-American plots, are surely relaxing in their luxe mansions at this very moment, contemplating their next lucrative podcast or appearance.
All the Democrat pols, their billionaire donors, Big Tech, and our mendacious left-wing media, haven’t a care in the world. They conspired to remove one of the most effective presidents in my lifetime, and they know they’ve gotten away with it.
And Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, William Barr, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, and far too many RINOs to count are just fine with that. They’re good at writing threatening letters demanding information they know they’ll never get, and little else.
It appears that all the injustices perpetrated against President Trump for nigh unto seven years now will be swept under the rug. No one will be punished, there will be no justice, and the swamp creatures will laugh long and hard at the special counsel’s long, drawn out, and thoroughly useless “investigation.”
To John Durham, on behalf of the American people, I say, “Thanks for nothing!”
From Patrick Byrne:
Durham covered up more than he revealed.
peloni1986 Thank you for your reasoned reponse
Patrick Byrne acknowledges that he is CHS-A in Durham’s report, found on page 79-88. This documents the claim which Byrne first revealed nearly 3 1/2 years ago that he was involved in an FBI sting against Clinton to catch her taking an $18 million bribe from a foreign country. Byrne noted that immediately following the bribe being made, the investigation was disbanded so that the evience of a bribe could be used to control Clinton following her presumed presidential election victory.
@Honeybee
I wasn’t being negative about the report. You are quite correct that, relative to the limit of the scope of the inquiry which was disappointing, the report is quite a stunning reproach upon the institutions involved. That being stated, Durham in his role as a special prosecutor has been particularly disappointing. Where are the charges against those implicated in his report? Where are the trials rendering justice for the crimes he unveiled? Whereas his report is an important document for all to read and assess, Durham is not an investigative reporter. He is a federal prosecutor. During his lengthy and expensive investigation he unveiled numerous crimes which have yet to be brought to trial. His reluctance to prosecute these crimes stands as a telling reproach against the very institution of justice in the US. It is said that justice delayed is justice denied, so what do we call it when justice is simply ignored? I think it is called injustice. Of course there are many books written on the injustices which have taken place over the centuries, and Durham’s report will likely stand the test of time as being among the most, if not the most, important of these, but the most telling point of his report is the fact that despite the extensive crimes described in it, there is not a single conviction which would act as a deterrent against it being duplicated in the future. No penalties, no deterrence and no justice. His report stands as a testimony to the two tiered system of justice in America while also acknowledging that when a crime is made great enough, in America at least, it is no crime at all. So forgive me raining on the very important victory which has been won with Durham’s report, but I suggest that there is a fair bit of despondency to be had when reflecting on the implications associated with a Federal Prosecutor who has decided to be a world class author instead.
peloni1986 Why so negative about the Durham report.? It rather stunned me even though I have never trusted either the CIA or the FBI.
Technofog:
The Durham Report has been released:
A quick analysis
Igor Danchenko not guilty on all counts
I believe that this is a grossly unfair statement to make at this point, while it may still ultimately be proven to be accurate, the case being made is being made somewhat prematurely, and may in fact come to be proven completely inaccurate.
There has been a long ongoing feud with regards to the reliability of John Durham’s investigation literally going back years. People such as Sundance and Emerald Robinson and now Paul Sperry have long ago given up all hope of Durham pursuing the Russia Hoax with anything but the least interest in actually obtaining justice. Countering these voices are Brian Cates, Tracy Beanz and Torie Maras who have made the case that Durham is currently making the case for a RICO trial based on the proof established in the court documents accumulated in these ongoing trials.
Of course, no one can truly be certain what Durham will do, but we can be quite certain of what he has done. The cases he has so far charged have placed on the court record demonstrating many facts which can not be disputed. Prior to this, these facts were unchallenged, statements rarely heard outside of the echo chamber of Conservative media, the same media which is currently criticizing Durham for his lack of performance. In fact, his performance thus far has been quite impressively documented. The Washington DC trial failures were never going to result in a satisfactory outcome, but they did, none the less, serve to document the trail of complicity from the DNC to Clinton’s inner circle to Obama’s inner circle and Obama himself, along with the foreknowledge by the CIA and the involvement of the FBI, and that is not including what is about to be revealed in the current case. It is both true and unfortunate that these factual elements have yet to place anyone in significant legal jeopardy, but the game is not over yet.
The claim from the Rah Rah John Durham camp claims that the evidence now in the court records will provide, along with the evidence being added to it in the current and future cases, a basis for a RICO trial. If this is truly where Durham is going, the best is truly yet to come. However, if he were to end his prosecutions with, say, the current case, well then, yes, we were all just fed a bunch of lies to string us along while nothing was done.
The one point which makes me believe the Rah Rah camp might be more than simply drunk on wishful thinking is that Durham could have staged these cases without all the evidence he is linking to them, and the evidence is significant. We will have to see where this all goes, but for what it is worth, I believe that Durham is far from done, or he would never have put on the record details which were completely tangential, though relatable, to the previous cases. Should you read the court records and you will see that he has spelled out in great detail the roles played by those involved in setting up the Russia Hoax. The crimes documented are not nuances and they are not misdemeanors. They demonstrate a willing cooperation to participate in actions which can not be easily described as anything less than intended espionage against the govt of the United States by members of the govt of the United States.
I would suggest that there is a greater reason to have sewn these details into the court record than simply to deceive the deplorables once again. Still, we will have to see what is Durham’s next play will be and how far he will actually go. But I would caution people to recognize what he has done and the lack of logical conclusion that he took the game this far simply to demonstrate who should be charged for criminal actions, and then not charge them.
