Is it only me who thinks, whenever they deop narrative control, suddenly Durham is about to indict someone?

Typically, a computer forensics examination of a server includes making a copy of the server's digital memory so that every file and folder is available to the investigator, not just the files that may have been touched by a hacker.

Corporations and law firms are rightfully hesitant to open their customer and corporate business to law enforcement, and typically only do so under extreme pressure.

No doubt. The point, however, is that Congress was and the public were misled by those statements--although they were corrected by Comey.

I'll just add this: I can't imagine why a case like this couldn't have been made over a year ago.

Really, you can't imagine, or are you being sarcastic?

Doesn't the statute of limitations run out this Sunday? Durham has run out the clock, as has always been the plan of this Kabuki theater.

Chances of his "investigation" ending up anything but a colossal, taxpayer funded nothingburger are about 98%, meaning there will be no indictments of any 'big fish'...period...if there are any indictments at all.

We live in a 2 class society.

And the Ruling class - the cabal who've pulled of this coup - are simply not bound by mandates, edicts or laws as are those of us not in the ruling class.

Well, well.

You came to the same conclusion as did I re: potential for flipping Sussman to rat out the co-conspirators.

In fact, I wonder if there isn't already a plea deal, and Sussman has leaked this version to the NYT to avoid ending up in Ft. Marcy Park. There's nothing about saying he expects to be indicted for 1001 that contradicts him having a plea deal, in which this guilty plea to 1001 is Durham's quid for Sussman's pro: evidence, testimony, and cooperation to go after the rest of the co-conspirators.

I also note that if Sussman was engaged in an ongoing criminal conspiracy, my understanding is the SoL doesn't start until the last act of the conspiracy is committed, so the deadline to indict is not necessarily in a week or so. Also, the on-going criminal conspiracy voids the attorney client privilege. That could put a substantial number if conspirators in Durham's Grand Jury crosshairs.

Enough with the hopium. It doesn't matter. We here all know the extent of the guilt of those involved, and that is without access to grand jury subpoenas and classified info.

Even if Mr Durham indicts Comey, McCabe and Brennan tomorrow, he has still delayed justice to such an extreme manner as to effect the election and various other consequences, and thusly in not an enabler of justice but a destroyer of it.

If he is indicted, he will have to be put on suicide watch immediately, with cameras that can't be turned off.

Given that "crossing the Clintons entails known risks", the only way I see anything popping here is, if Obama etc. have decided that the Clintons have outlived their usefulness.

If so, expect both of them to be disappeared (into Witness Protection?).

All this is quite imaginable if they keep Milley on.

From the link, which is what I think will happen, sigh…

Lastly, Democrat apparatchik and current AG Merrick Garland can nuke any indictment and we’d never even know.

The rule under which he can shut down an indictment requires him to communicate his decision to Congress.

That's confusing. What's the point of a Special Counsel then?

A special counsel’s purpose, along with any “investigation” gives the opportunity to run out the clock and disallow declassification since there is an “open investigation”.

It’s a very neat way to bury problematic issues. This way they become old news.

Benghazi, Covid origin, and the Durham investigation are all examples of this technique being used.
