Andrea Widburg at American Thinker provides her own summary of the latest Durham revelations that have the internet—or the intelligent/conservative portion of it buzzing. At the end her piece Widburg quotes Sundance: Preliminarily, The obvious question is:
* 1.8 billion USD from the Clinton Foundation to Qatar Central Bank, back in 2016
* Qatar, isn't that a non-extradition country?
* The Party is in charge of the presidential pardon power
* lots of judges put in place by The Party, for eventualities such as this
* The Party owns the FBI, the DOJ, ...
In order to become the "first female POTUS", Harris has to go, before Joe inconveniently dies in office. His decline is public, and extremely obvious. Anyone with a brain cell has already drawn the logical conclusion, this guy ain't lasting the full 4 years.
So, Hillary has murder (we have all heard of Arkancide), she has fleeing the country, she has the press, she still has at least some of The Party on her side. I am not actually sure if she has the presidential pardon in her pocket. But, since I have heard of no attempts on Durham's life, have to assume either she has already tried and failed, or she has the pardon waiting (from the current POTUS).
The problem with accepting a pardon, is the implicit admission that there was wrong doing. I can feel the gravitational pull of Hillary's ego from all the way up here in Canada. She will never admit wrong doing, and she will never let go of being POTUS.
Is Durham a man of principle, to be forever remembered with Trump and others, as a great American patriot who saved the nation, or relegated to the dustbin as just another spineless co-conspirator in the attempted communist takeover of the United States?
.....Sussmann’s claims to a federal agency (the CIA) about the data are the legal issue here. It’s important not to miss that, because it reflects why no one (such as Tech Executive-1, Rodney Joffe) has been indicted for monitoring DNS data to mine it for information about Trump.
No one has been indicted for that because it wasn’t illegal. It was unethical and improper as all get-out, but it’s not illegal to monitor DNS transactions or data. DNS data isn’t privacy-protected as it pertains to an end-user (e.g., the sender of a text message). Its status in law is like the connecting transactions of old-style phone calls; they aren’t afforded privacy protection by the fact that some individual with privacy rights picked up the phone and made a phone call. The contents of the phone call are privacy-protected, but not the transaction at the switchboard.

Outlines the important aspects of Durham's filing and ties it to known players, i.e. Hillary, suspected players, Obama, outside entities, Georgia tech, and government entities the Dept. of Defense. Long but worth reading gives a different but detailed approach on Durham.
Wilberg's op-ed on Durham reeks of RINO let's give up because it isn't happening when I want it to happen.
Is it time to rehabilitate Bondo Barr? Was he playing 4d chess? Saw interview with Jon ratcliff where he stated (rather pointedly I thought) that he, Bill Barr and John Durham all looked at all the intelligence and found no predicate there. This by way of saying that he Ratcluff expects many more indictments based on the Intel he saw and which apparently he shared with Durham. AND Bill Barr. When you consider that Durham is being allowed to proceed like this it really makes me think there could be some hidden leverage being applied to fix the bad guys in place and prevent them from putting the kibosh on Durham. I know this is fanciful, but I dunno...
Adam Housley mentions:"High level non political sources telling me that the Durham investigation has a lot of names being looked at…”two names to keep an eye on…Jake Sullivan and…… Colin Kahl….. both being looked at very closely…both of em nose deep.”
American Thinkers' Widburg did an about-face this morning after reading your post above, appropriately awaiting further developments. With this cat out of the bag, it would seem more timely releases of information would be a result by Durham - or indictments would be unsealed if the conspirators mentioned fail to cooperate.
And where are those news cameras and reporters cornering Sussman, Joffe, Elias, even Clinton, for comment? I mean, look at the NYT's Haberman article on presidential records based on what?
One thing I'd like to say, and I have nothing but an average mother and housewife's lifetime love of country and occasional political opinion page reading to back it up, our government isn't going to collapse if the corruption and evil actors, whether in government right now or recently retired, are exposed and/or charged with their crimes. The Vice President of the United States, Spiro Agnew was forced to resign, a year later the President of the United States, Richard Nixon, was forced to resign. The two top men. Hated by the press. Hated by the left. Hated by their own party. Nothing crumbled. Whether or not any of you despise those two men, they were no worse (actually I believe they were a lot better) than the crew working for HRC or the administration prior to Trump's. There are always good and bad public servants able and willing to keep our government creaking/running along, no matter how loudly the left's media grinds their teeth and wails.
"Vengeance is the L-rds." I have the feeling many of you will be disappointed. It could well be that this is not about 'Crime and Punishment.' As Ms. Widburg states: "I would love to see Durham expose the whole festering mess, and I’d happily eat my words, but I don’t see that happening." She previously said: "The short answer is, Durham can’t. The ramifications would collapse the U.S. government; yes, all three collaborating branches."
The problem is how not to throw the baby out with the bath water. What may well be going on is an effort to get maximum cooperation with minimum indictments. As I previously posted here, Durham, Trump, Giuliani, Powell and others have incriminating evidence they are not in a hurry to reveal, and nobody is going to want to go down with Hillary, Obama and the ringleaders in this years-old plot against our legitimate government. I also posted reference to an article entitled "In Trump’s campaign to save the Republic, we haven’t seen the key supporting effort yet" By J.E. Dyer December 4, 2020. In it she states "The premise of the key supporting effort is that the U.S. government has been making use of tools we know it has, to gather intelligence on conditions that pose an obvious threat to U.S. national security."
We may never hear the evidence. Most of this may be buried by mutual consent, as key people influenced by self-preservation and maybe some consideration for the future of this country join in reversing the power grab we have been witnessing.
Hillary was on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Impeachment during the Watergate scandal. She saw how the deep state helped take out Nixon. And she experienced how the independent counsel Kenneth Star, and impeachment hobbled the Clinton Administration.
And the result of Watergate was huge damage the GOP.
I tend to read these blogs in chronological order. So at the risk of repeating a comment from a previous blog I'll just suggest. Who's funding Joffe? Is it DARPA and if so why no oversight of G/T, Neustart, etc...? Or is their oversight and... part of the conspiracy. Or is Joffe taking matters into his own hands to overthrow an elected President? Providing false data to DNC, P/C Crowdstrike... Seems pretty bold IMO.
Another interesting observation in circles I follow on Twitter is that everything Durham has done to date has been outside the government. Focus on P/C, DNC, HRC, Joffe, G/T, etc... He hasn't had anything come up inside the Deep State. Perhaps why Garland and DOJ have allowed him to continue. Or perhaps as Andrea suggests a way to protect the corruption internal.
Most believe Agency 2 is the CIA. I on the other hand and based on recent developments speculate that it could be the IG (Horowitz). Haven't seen others speculate on this yet but based on recent Durham filings something's up there too.
Good write up. I was one of the few on the independent thinking people that had always leaned Left (I don't think it even matters at this point in time.) that was calling out this Russiagate BS in real time. It was beyond ridiculous, and the propaganda was ubiquitous, which is always a red flag. I think you're right, literally everyone thought Hillary was going to win and none of this clean-up was planned, which is why it's so easy to see, with even a moment of honest reflection. Something the Left has completely forgotten since covid turned them into a cult ("The Branch Covidians" has been my favorite name for them.) The tribalism we have seen over the last five years has been the clearest example of what is really going on... We are being intentionally divided by oligarchs and the media. I think once you accept that, true growth can begin to happen, I do not care which side of the isle you feel you reside, we all must come together and fight against the technocrats, as are on the cusp of technocratic totalitarianism consuming our lives and future.
Lots of questions out there... My latest has been, how was the CEO of Moderna Stephan Bancel the CEO of the company BioMerioux (2007-11) that designed the level 4 biolab in Wuhan from which this chimera virus originated? I wrote a piece about it on my substack if anyone is interested.
Great breakdown MIH. Definitely have a new reader, my friend.
Hillary Clinton is as spiteful and vengeful as they get. That alone would be enough for her to be all in on either getting Trump out or at least being all in on destroying his presidency and keeping the pre-election operations under wraps. And everyone here knows she was quoted, and has not denied the quote as far as I know, shortly after the election as saying something to the effect of "I guess we'll just have to pursue the Russian angle" in order to deal with the fact of Trump's victory. That doesn't mean automatically that she worked to get him ousted, but it seems to suggest she was ordering the dogs - HER dogs - be unleashed to attack Trump viciously - something that would for sure be relevant to Durham's investigation and most worthy of his trying to uncover and eventually reveal to the public.
As for Pence, he is and was a uniparty member of excellent standing. Hillary, et al knew that and so it seems to me they felt they could handle a Pence presidency, especially coming on the heels of a would-be disgraced and driven from office Donald Trump. Nutjob Hillary probably even fantasized they could get Pence out at the same time, and her in, if they could convince enough of the public the "Putin-assisted" election itself was illegitimate.
Bottom line is I'd bet quite a lot that Clinton was very much a post-Nov 3 player, however many layers of middlemen she may have put between herself and the hacks, cronies and criminals carrying out the orders at the ground level.
Is the person higher up the ladder not Barack Obama? Was he unaware of what was going on?
Hillary has all her bases covered.
* 1.8 billion USD from the Clinton Foundation to Qatar Central Bank, back in 2016
* Qatar, isn't that a non-extradition country?
* The Party is in charge of the presidential pardon power
* lots of judges put in place by The Party, for eventualities such as this
* The Party owns the FBI, the DOJ, ...

There's an entirely different theory here:
New Durham filing in Sussmann case hits paydirt at home plate (although not the way you may think)
New details validate old analysis: it had to go to the Oval Office.

Let me assure you that Donald Trump will not let this rest, in or out of office!

He's got an excellent track record of reporting. I don't think he mentions those names without hearing something very specific from his sources.

Just my two cents.
