Durham repeatedly used the phrase "joint venture" to characterize the nature of the activity Sussmann, Joffe, FGPS, and Hillary's "campaign associates" were engaged in, in his filings with the court, referring to them as "co-conspirators."

The question that is being ignored: who the Hell tasked DARPA to investigate the DNC "hack"?

DARPA is DoD scientific R&D outfit -- a "Boffin-Bureau" -- with neither a law enforcement nor intelligence gathering role.

The only way they could legitimately be brought into play on the DNC "hack" is if FBI or DOJ asked for technical assistance in interpreting something that was "over their heads."

We have yet to see any evidence that DOJ or FBI made any such request. Without it, somebody in DARPA appears to have gone ROGUE ELEPHANT.

Or so it seems to me.

Wow. Leading ever closer to the cagey Russian known as Sethrenko Richevtsky. I was wondering if Durham would ever get to this. This could really shake things up.

Here I will speculate about this matter.

On June 21, 2016, a journalist named Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai exchanged e-mails with someone who called himself Guccifer 2.0 and who claimed to have hacked the computer system of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). I think that the journalist's location was knowable, but Guccifer's location was mysterious. I suppose that Antonakakis had special skills and tools that might enable him to use the first location to determine the second location.

In particular, was Guccifer 2.0 located in Romania or in Russia or in some other knowable location?

If someone at DARPA knew that Antonakakis might have that ability, then asking Antonakakis to study that problem seems to me to be a good thing to do. Perhaps that study might violate some rule in the contract, but otherwise I consider such a study to be in the public interest.

I wonder whether Antonakakis was able to determine the location of Guccifer 2.0.

I have argued that Guccifer 2.0 was an employee of the NGP VAN company, which managed some DNC databases. That employee was a supporter of Bernie Sanders and was trying to collect information proving that the DNC was favoring Hilary Clinton unfairly in the Democratic Party's primary-election race.

I would have to admit that my argument is wrong if it indeed were determined that Guccifer 2.0 was located in Romania or Russia.
