Following the disclosure that US Attorney John Durham has been tasked with investigating and prosecuting potential crimes in the origin of the Russia Hoax, we learned some very encouraging facts that suggest the Russia Hoax will be fully aired and miscreants brought to justice. Like Howie Carr, who had a front-row seat when John Durham went after corruption in the FBI Boston office, I am “cautiously optimistic” (Howie’s term) that Durham and his boss AG Barr want to get to the bottom of the hoax and put those who may have committed crimes in prison.
In Boston, Durham faced a gigantic scandal that was very damaging to the FBI and did not blink. He got John Connelly, Whitey Bulger’s protector, sentenced to 40 years in prison. This does not sound like a prosecutor who can be persuaded to lay off getting to the truth in order to protect the reputations of important people and institutions.
But we must concede that there are plenty of reasons to worry that that the biggest political scandal in American history – the political weaponization of both the federal intelligence and law enforcement communities to spy on political opponents of the sitting president and remove a duly elected president from office – would be swept under the rug. Even a sober-minded man of integrity like William Barr might be persuaded that the harm to public trust in our system would be too profound and that our allies and foes overseas might see us as so weakened that they would take actions inimical to our interests.
Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh provided a fascinating insight into the level of distrust the conservative base has in the ability of our institutions and their leaders to right themselves.

The odds are not good. The democrats have a long history of skating away from justice.
The ‘toon suborned perjury and committed perjury. He skated.
He was, at least, disbarred.
Durham only got John Connolly and Paul Rico to serve jail time. He let John Morris resign with his full pension. No high level FBI or even mid level FBI agents paid any price for the Boston FBI scandal.
Republicans have a long history of letting Democrats skate from justice
Add to those comments the fact that any trial that might occur will be held in DC...which went 90% for ILLary...and I'd be willing to bet everything I own that everyone will skate.
Approximately negative one hundred and eleventy billion percent. Billions in graft, kickbacks and perks are on the line. Messing with peoples free taxpayer money machines is the absolute fastest possible way to have your family arkancided
I might be mistaken but I think Rush talked about this with sports. An umpire will shy away from calls where they will be pushback or controversy regardless of the situation.
You don't bring in a sitting US Attorney to investigate without the ability to prosecute. Certainly you don't bring a bulldog like Durham into this as 'window dressing'.
There will be prosecutions. The key is who will be the first to rat out the rest.
Clapper?
Comey?
Brennan?
Someone at the bottom knows all the bad actors, it will start there.
High! Republicans are not calling the shots here.
Think of how great it would be for the children of America if Hillary Clinton went to prison.
Millions of little children saved from a wasted life of criminal behavior because they saw Hillary Clinton go to prison for her criminal behavior.
Let’s do it for the children.
Let’s put Hillary Clinton in prison.
Investigating one’s self is not the best way to obtain justice. Career bureaucrats will only go so far.
It will not be over until Loretta Lynch sings (on Obama).
These Rats are only going to be removed by the scruff of their neck and kicking and screaming. I’d like to see them removed by gunpoint. You know like Stone was.
