“Since when did they go from diddling around with numismatists, to criminal investigation of transactions?”

I believe that the Secret Service is part of the Treasury

Right.

Since reading that, I have been dwelling on possible reasons for inaction, and without knowing more, it is all speculation.

I would think, though, that for anyone, these kinds of requests would raise a red flag.

I have long been of the opinion that the spying and plotting against Flynn by Comey, Brennan, and Obama began before Trump was even a candidate.

I speculated about all of this back in April, 2017 and it seems that it was mostly right - as many Freepers have been; here (”They Have Nothing on Him...”:

These people can only fool some of the people - all the time.

This will have legs, mainstream legs.

I hope.

“For example, I’ve always believed that Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was gotten to somehow in the Obamacare decision..I bet if you investigated John Roberts you will find he was looked into to find something that could be used to influence him..”

Just a simple visit from some thugs letting Justice Roberts and his wife know they know where your kids live and where they go to school along with a couple photo’s would be enough. And a very firm handshake goodbye....

Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, so the others must remain sealed, she said. The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The other names include: Members of Congress, the most senior staffers on the 2016 Trump campaign and members of Trump’s family, she said.

"Durham, drags his feet on his "investigation."

I've been saying since AG Barr appointed him to start an inquiry that he is the right man for the job. He has since turned it into a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. The dragging of feet means he is trying to dot every i and cross every t before recommending charges against some of the highest in the Deep State. I still believe this, as naive as I may appear.

If I'm wrong, you can tell me, "I told you so". That would make you feel righteous for a moment, but it will be the end of our Constitutional Republic. Then, all gloves are off. There won't be a "report" because he is not an Inspector General. He is a prosecutor and will file charges or not. That's his job in a criminal investigation. If I'm wrong, I will volunteer to be cannon fodder (70 years old) once the SHTF.

I'm not a defender but Obama is not from the ghetto. He graduated from the top prep school in Hawaii where he lived a privilege life. He obviously picked-up some tactics while living in Chicago but if he is ghetto then I'm from a third world hell hole surviving on garbage.

I barely graduated with a BA in BS.

How’d I end up on this list?

Screening around here is worse than unemployment or small business screening by the government!

I’m a Navy vet also, by the way. I would not say ‘I told you so’ should it come to that. However, this is nearly end of May. The election is just over 6 months away. Anything Durham does from June forward will be seen as partisan to help Trump. The closer we get to the election, the less likely he will act so as not to ‘interfere’ with the election. Then, if Trump loses, the investigation (if there really is one) comes to a screeching halt. Durham has been at it over a year. How much more time does he need?

WTH didn’t this whistleblower come forward SOONER??
____________________________________________________________

If I’m reading the article correctly, the person in charge of whistleblowers for Treasury was a an Obama holdover; even the successor was an Obama acolyte...

This whistle was never going to be blown...

On the bright side, maybe this is a better time to blow this whistle!

Omuslim was a red diaper baby groomed and brought along his whole life to be foisted on the US presidency.

Maxine Waters: “The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday. “That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

I still remember the story of the Russian couple who told an American businessman there would be a President named “Barack”

“The fault for all of this is Trump.”

Blaming victims and their assigned protectors is cowardly and disingenuous.

Direct your rage and contempt where it belongs - the perpetrators.

Ultimately, the responsibility to defend against government tyranny falls on all of us - but blaming each other for failure to do so - only divides us.
