I’m still waiting for substantive events before I get all excited. I’m not saying I’m a skeptic, it’s just that for the time being the Covid Regime is producing more news that’s important for the future of our constitutional order. Durham may supplant that later, but for now we on the outside are watching the preliminaries. So, I take the easy route—updating via Twitter.
First, Durham’s most recent expenses have been released, and he’s not spending a lot of money, as federal investigations and prosecutions go:
This next matter could be a lot more significant.
Why was Crowdstrike communicating with the FBI all the way up to September 2017?With regard to post 2016 election communications I’d be inclined to believe that these communications may have been about the DNC “hack”. I say that because that red herring shows up in several of the Team Mueller cases. However, from what we’ve seen in the past, neither the FBI nor Mueller showed a lot of interest in getting to the bottom of that matter—it was largely used to further the “the Russians!” narrative, rather than as a serious investigative priority in and of itself.
I haven’t seen much else to suggest that the Alfa Bank hoax was a serious matter for Mueller. My understanding is that the Alfa Bank hoax was pretty conclusively debunked by the FBI’s NYO shortly before the election. However, it remains that any degree of involvement with the FBI/Team Mueller on the part of Sussmann would almost certainly mean involvement on the part of the Clinton Campaign, or whatever its successor entity was (legally, or de facto). That’s a very big deal, to my way of thinking, because at that point we’re well past campaign dirty tricks and into a conspiracy against the president. If that’s true—and, of course, Durham is looking at the coms—that would make one helluva conspiracy narrative to present to a jury.
The third matter that the FBI would have been pursuing Trump on, which was the real point of the handoff to Mueller, was the phony obstruction claim regarding the firing of Comey.
It remains that we simply have to await developments. Does some of this explain Durham’s motion regarding conflicts involving Clinton associates/employees on the part of Danchenko’s lawyers? Possibly. After all, Danchenko was lying to the FBI after the election, as well. Again, we’ll see.
Worth noting that, according to news reports at the time, Durham TWICE added prosecutors to his team: first time was somewhere around Spring 2020, and a second time a year ago when they cranked up a GJ looking into the Alfa Bank DNS Hoax. From that GJ sprang the Sussmann indictment.
I hope Durham produces much more. Durham has produced more than I expected. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being top level indictments, his grade is still incomplete. I am surprised at how long it's taking.
I have this gut feeling somehow the uniparty, especially Bill Barr, has hamstrung Durham. Just as they have mostly hamstrung any investigation into the 2020 Voter Fraud. Along with any questioning on the January 6th "insurrection", and the treatment of the people stupid enough to get entrapped at the Capital and still in Jail almost a year later.
