Aggressive Attempts To Discredit Durham Investigation May Reflect Something Big Is Coming Down

Aggressive Attempts To Discredit Durham Investigation May Reflect Something Big Is Coming Down

I haven’t had much hope for the investigation being conducted by prosecutor John Durham. Not because of anything particular to the Durham investigation, but we’ve been disappointed too many times before.

The guilty plea of an ex-FBI lawyer for falsifying a FISA document created the possibility that he was cooperating, and that there would be more to come. But still, after that plea:

The usual suspects are declaring the Durham investigation illegitimate and a nothingburger.


I’ve been so dissapointed with Republican-led investigations that I’m not hoping for much more.

But let me be very clear what I want to see: James Comey frog-marched in an orange jumpsuit, legs shackled and hands bound at his waste, leading a chain gang of Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, and John Does Nos. 1-13, into the federal courthouse, with the unsealing of an indictment naming mysterious persons “Renegade” and “Celtic” as unindicted co-conspirators.

You can’t take away my dreams.

There have been no announcements of more criminal charges. But there is a glimmer of hope. Someone is trying to discredit whatever it is that’s coming down the pike, which suggests that something is about to happen.

The Hartford Courant ran a shoddy piece of gossiping about a lawyer on the Durham team leaving supposedly because she didn’t like the political pressure on the probe. Or at least, that’s what the headline suggests, Nora Dannehy, Connecticut prosecutor who was top aide to John Durham’s Trump-Russia investigation, resigns amid concern about pressure from Attorney General William Barr.

But the actual article doesn’t prove the headline, at best it’s based on anonymous people speculating as to her motives for resigning.

There is nothing to this report. Maybe Dannehy was concerned about political pressure, but the reporting doesn’t come anywhere close to proving that.

But it doesn’t matter, the headline was all Democrats and their media helpers needed to claim that anything that comes down from Durham is the result of political pressure.



So what’s going on? Who is whispering in the Hartford Courant’s ear?

Someone or people who know something big is coming down, and want to discredit it in advance.
 
How many blogs have another opinion? Your source drips with bias.........
 
For the last 4 years conservatives have been promising orange jump suits, big things comin’ down the pike, the one investigation that’s gonna blow the lid off the DEEP STATE.

And yet all that keeps happening is nothing while Trump cronies get convicted left and right.
 
Waiting, for the most part, about 3 to 4 years to try to address this alleged "deep state" wrongdoing is a big problem for the Durham team. Another problem is that cooperation of underlings to supply evidence of (leadership) motive is crucial to convert a procedural "mistake in judgement" into a criminal act. Time is not on Durham's side since that allows hard (written and audio recorded) evidence to "get lost" and for memories to fade thus leading to many "I don't recall, exactly, who said what back then" excuses.

Maybe the big problem is there isn’t a deep state and this is all insane. Maybe.

Then again, maybe the problem was that there was no credible evidence of "Russian collusion" by the Trump campaign which was used to "spy" on its members.

Mueller Report and the GOP led senate intel committee don’t agree with your assessment.

Neither does Donald Trump. He kept bragging about pleading with foreign leaders to help him rig 2020.

That is another misrepresentation of the facts.

1. Regarding the Mueller Report, which I have read and posted about in the past. That report makes it pretty clear that when it came to "collusion," while the Russians may have been acting, the Trump campaign was NOT soliciting such support. There was no "collusion." To make this simpler for you to understand, here is an example.

If I write unsolicited Twitter posts in support of ANTIFA activities; while that may help ANTIFA in some small way...ANTIFA would not have "colluded" with me for such help.

2. The "GOP led" Senate Committee did provide a report (which I've also read and posted on in this Forum). The Majority report said there was no "collusion," while the Minority report alleged there was. The Minority report was made up of the Democrat members, and even they were divided on what they felt was and was not such "collusion."

Neither does Donald Trump. He kept bragging about pleading with foreign leaders to help him rig 2020.

Back this up with citations please.

To my knowledge Trump never "pleaded" for anyone, foreign or domestic to "help him rig" either 2016 or 2020.

He did say that if anyone provided dirt on his opponent in 2016, he would accept it. If you think politicians wouldn't use whatever dirt they can to undermine an opponent then you do know anything about politics.

He also made a joke about Russian "hacking" during 2016 and the Hillary server. He did not seriously ASK Russia to do it.

Facts matter, and your points are merely "assertions" and "interpretations" based on partisan bias.

That (bolded above) could not have been the basis for the initial "investigation".

No, it was the fact that his campaign kept having accidental meetings with Russian agents and couldn’t ever recall it happening despite it constantly, accidentally, happening.

And then we found out Dumb Jr answered an email that promised him a meeting with a literal Russian agent to work with them on the 2016 campaign. Just because Dumb Jr was dumb and didn’t achieve anything, doesn’t mean the top of the Trump campaign wasn’t all in on trying to rig things.

Bank robber stupid enough to walk into a bank without his gun doesn’t mean he wasn’t there to rip the joint off.

Again, that has nothing to do with what you claim happened in 2020.

"Colleagues said Dannehy is not a supporter of President Trump and has been concerned in recent weeks by what she believed was pressure from Barr, who appointed Durham, to produce results before the election."

Link

That isn't "speculation."

She resigned less than a month after Barr announced he would not withhold a Durham report, should it be concluded, outside of the customary 60 day time period before an election.

Hard to believe it's been a year and a half since Barr said that.

Hopefully, there will be cracks in the stonewall while these folks are still alive.

We'll know more when this goes to trial.

Nothing was released before the election?
What are you talking about?
Link does not work?
 
See you in another two years! Maybe he’ll drop another filing that he and Sussnan traded stern looks with each other.
Damn meanies.
