For the past day or two I’ve been wrestling with the aftermath of the Sussmann trial. The outcome was no surprise, so I haven’t devoted much time to that. However, two other aspects have arisen which are, in a sense, far more troubling than biased DC juries. Not that I’m making light of the joke of a judicial system in the Imperial City on the Potomac. Nevertheless, consider …
Latest news is Durham has notified court he will personally appear in court as part of the prosecution team on Danchenko trial.
Hard to believe he'd risk his reputation on a case of little importance; ergo, he thinks this case is important in the big scheme of things.
Speculation: Durham's last trial (Sussmann) failed in part because the DC jurors were never convinced of the materiality of Sussmann's lie. So perhaps Durham's plan with Danchenko is to spend most of his time laying the foundation to why Danchenko's lies were profoundly material to the FBI's decisions regarding Investigating the Russia Collusion Delusion.
Of course, in doing so, Durham will be laying out -- for the public to see -- the details of what may well be a wide ranging criminal conspiracy among Hillary's campaign, FusionGPS, Christopher Steele, ranking members of FBI, Bruce Ohr, and the Tech Titan and his minions at Georgia Tech, to name but a few.
If that's the scenario, then it also makes sense why Durham wants to be there in person to run the prosecution, and to have a prosecutor with Small's background helping him prosecute the case.
It, in effect would be a matter of laying out a future conspiracy case inside of the prosecution's case in chief re: Danchenko's 1001 charge, in order to demonstrate the materiality of Danchenko's lies to the FBI.
The unasked question: what are Durham's other prosecutors up to? If they were quitting, we'd surely have heard all about it from the Flaming Left media. I therefore assume they are hard at work at SOMETHING ELSE.
They are either writing Durham's report, or they are putting the finishing touches on indictments that haven't dropped yet.
Recall the prediction of some knowledgeable players a month or so ago: at least two new indictments before the Danchenko trial commences in October.
I have never been so optimistic because I have never been so pessimistic. Others foresee a recession and a market pullback. I see a market crash coming, and with the Dow over 30,000 and public debt over 30 trillion we are courting catastrophe. Private debt is at record levels too. We already have inflation and shortages. Cheer up. We can count on this Administration to make all the wrong moves, as they are doing now in a way that will intensify the crisis. Churchill is supposed to have said "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities." When we are all in dire straits the silence and blank stares of your liberal friends and family when confronted with facts will be replaced by fury at not getting their sugar candy.
I used to send emails to the Trump presidency via that "send an email" link on the WH website. I'd write things like: Get rid of the FBI and replace it with the Marshalls or Texas Rangers or some other organization. Permit existing FBI personnel to reapply for positions with the new National Investigation Bureau (or whatever) and resume their careers. Accept only a few (some small percent) of former FBI personnel.
I was thinking then and still believe now that only through a wholesale change in structure and organizational ethos can the rot at the FBI be cleaned out. While we've been told repeatedly that the rot only exists on the 7th floor, I have also read that there are very (ahem) untidy Field Activities (e.g. the El Paso FBI office, I don't know any specifics) which are every bit as problematic as the 7th Floor.
We have been told that the overwhelming number of FBI agents are true-blue patriots who do the right thing because doing the right thing is the right thing to do, but yet, not one of these supposedly true patriots have spoken out. Could all of them be simply too scared to do so, too dependent upon their retirement, too cowardly to take a stand?
I do not know what is what. But I do know the stables need to be cleaned.
Rumor has it Congressional staff lawyers are collecting the remnants of exhibits leftover from the past couple weeks to pursue litigation of statements made before Congress.
I dont know Mark. I have a hard time understanding your surprise at these revelations. Do you still believe that the FBI is a benevolent, honest, impartial law enforcement agency? This office space and info sharing is nothing to me except expected from a thoroughly corrupted agency. That goes for every federal agency. Are we finally going to embrace the reality that these people in power are not screwing around? They have captured the federal government and turned it into their criminal enterprise. If they don't pause for a second about injecting millions of pregnant women w an experimental drug they know will harm or kill the babies, why would they stop at anything?
"I was charged to investigate whether Bob was killed by Joe. My detailed investigation showed that Bob wasn't killed by Joe, but was killed by Mr. X, who I can't tell you about because I wasn't given the job of showing Bob was killed by Mr. X."
"Despite acquittal, Durham trial of Sussmann added to evidence Clinton campaign plotted to tie Trump to Russia" This is the headline of an article yesterday in FoxNews. FoxNews, , not CTH. Also, Paul Gigot interviewed Wall Street Journal columnist Kim Strassel, and she pretty much said what I think. Durham has succeeded in bringing this matter to public attention in all its gory details, and that was his intention. Lets have more trials like this, where the perps can brag about acquittal while the facts are coming out. This is brutal for the FBI.
9 separate and distinct intel agencies received the leak from the FBI. Only takes 1 to spread the word. However was corroborated by Intel agencies post lead to media. Ugh.
Official Investigations appear to be purposely used to not find anything. Investigations appear to be designed to provide more questions than any answers. What a country.
At bottom of all these efforts was the goal of removing Trump and stopping his agenda. The thing that has remained unexplored to my satisfaction is why would this have been such a hot button even BEFORE he was nominated? Sure, the insane panic really set in after the nomination, but the white flame of hatred of Trump prior seemed based on nothing visible to most normal people. And yet it was so pervasive, ubiquitous, among these deep state folks. It screams of indoctrination, coordination--hidden leadership. Each new revelation makes it clear these weren't functionaries independently just trying to "do their jobs". I just can't get my head around it.
Barr seems to be looking out for Barr - after some of the evidence is finally coming to light. Besides, he has a book to sell.
In addition to who signed off on the DC law firm and FBI cohabitation MOU, how closely held was this inside both organizations. Ten years is a long time to keep a lightning rod like this under wraps. Sounds like they set up a SCIF inside the law firm.
So, in addition to bringing in Wray for more questions, perhaps Mueller and Comey should also get personal invites to enlighten the lawmakers as to what was going on.

Barr is a traitor to the Republic. Period, end of story.

The Augean Stables of WDC need cleaning.

So, Durham was unaware of the relationship (the SCIF) between the FBI and Perkins Coie? Go figure...
