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.
Heads-up:
Aaron Mate article in Real Clear Investigations, good overview of CH predication issues, and where Durham might be headed.

Since we haven't heard any news on the Russia Collusion Hoax front for a few weeks, I thought I'd share a tidbit, courtesy of Michael Caputo, who life was tuned upside down by Mueller's goons.

(two tweets per link except the last one)
My commentary follows:
This is a detail I nor many others had heard about previously. Caputo, who I believe worked in some capacity with the Trump campaign, says he was approached by a Russian peddling dirt on Hillary, asking for $2 million in compensation for "dirt."
Caputo says he told the guy to stuff it.
He told Mueller about it when they were all over Caputo, and he realized something was odd when they seemed to know more about the weird Russian character than Caputo did.
Further research indicated he was in prison in Russia a few decades ago, then suddenly appeared in the US, and was a long time FBI asset after arriving here.
<b>He also said he gave all the info on this guy to Durham.</b>
Now for the really intriguing part of the story:
Oh, look at what it says in the WaPO article:
Quote:
MIAMI — One day in late May 2016, Roger Stone — the political dark sorcerer and longtime confidant of Donald Trump — slipped into his Jaguar and headed out to meet a man with a “Make America Great Again” hat and a viscous Russian accent.

Either the FBI had a Russian "informant" take a run at the Trump campaign peddling fake Hillary Dirt, or Hillary's campaign inspired Greenberg to do it. There's no way Greenberg would know on his own in May 2016 that Trump would be accused of "collusion" with Russians to help him beat Hillary, so it has to the FBI running a CHS at the campaign without predication, Hillary running a scam on the Trump campaign using a former FBI asset, or perhaps some OTHER government or organization orchestrating the "dangle" by Greenberg.
Somebody is in deep shit. If the FBI did it, they were doing so without a valid predicated investigation underway.
And if Hillary did it, it means it was part of the "set-up" phase of the Russian Collusion Hoax, and since at that point only Hillary's people would have known that Trump Would Later be accused of collusion, it means they were the people orchestrating the entire "frame-up."
Also note that this "dangle" appears to precede, by a few weeks, the "Trump Tower dangle" to Don Jr., by the Russian lawyer, who in fact only wanted to talk about lifting sanctions related to the Magnitsky Act. And, the lawyer met with WHO before and or after the meeting?
<b>Glenn Simpson, from FGPS!</b>
What are the odds that Greenberg just randomly shows up to dangle Hillary dirt from Russia at about the same time overtures were made to the Trump Campaign for similar dirt from "Russia"? As far as we can tell, the only people aware that there would be allegations about such matters were the people coordinating it in and around the Clinton Campaign: Mook, Elias, Sussmann, Simpson, and possibly Steele, for starters. Maybe Dolan?
The alternative is a foreign intel org -- using Greenberg -- to serendipitously floating a "dangle" that COINCIDENTALLY matched the Hillary scheme to frame Trump's campaign for "collusion."
Or, it was "in" on the plan with Hillary's campaign from the get go.
I don't see an innocent explanation for this.
And Durham has the details.
