A more optimistic take on the Durham bombshell: A former counter-intelligence special agent for the FBI thinks there’s reason to believe that Durham really is closing in on Hillary and her inner circle

Yesterday, I wrote a post detailing what was in Special Prosecutor John Durham's latest filing, a seemingly innocuous motion that contained within it the allegation that Rodney Joffe, a tech executive, at the behest of Hillary Clinton's campaign, spied on Trump, both in Trump Tower and his apartment and, later, in the White House.  However, my cynicism is such that I doubted that this would actually come to anything.  Mark Wauck, a retired counter-intelligence special agent for the FBI, is more optimistic.

You can read Wauck's entire post here.  It's built upon responding to what I wrote.

As noted, I'm cynical that this will go anywhere.  I haven't forgotten that, on July 5, 2016, James Comey gave chapter and verse about Hillary's deliberate actions to evade national security laws regarding her emails and then ended by saying, essentially, "Whatever."  Wauck, however, thinks Durham's investigation is different.

My post, after summarizing Durham's latest allegations, echoed what Sundance, at Conservative Treehouse said, which is that this is a cosmetic exercise that is meant to provide cover for Mueller's investigation, which was itself a cover-up.  Wauck had a few rebuttals that are worth considering, especially because they'll make you feel happier than what I wrote.

Wauck points out that it's meaningful that Joffe is discussed but not indicted:

It's because Durham is targeting him for cooperation. There's only one reason a member of a conspiracy is targeted for cooperation, and that's because that person was acting at the behest of someone higher up the ladder who exercised overall control of the conspiracy.

As far as Wauck is concerned, that's Hillary herself.

And then there's the fact that Hillary's name is finally out in the open. Sussmann and Joffe knew they were engaged in illegal activity when they spied on Trump. However, they figured Hillary would win, so their activity would never be an issue. When Hillary lost, they continued to spy on Trump because they desperately needed to get him out of the White House and get Hillary in.

If Durham were “closing in” on Hillary! he would already be dead.

The reality is the law enforcement agencies who would be the ones to arrest and prosecute were all in on it.

Everyone knows Hillary is guilty. Th fact that she has not been prosecuted tells me our justice system is not blind.

“No prosecutor would move forward on such flimsy evidence.” Some sort of quote like that.

Remember Hitlerys “We’ll all hang” comment? Well lets hope hangings are like a good wine vintage, they get better after aging a while.

[Vigilanteman]

My thought exactly. Although there is an infinitesimal chance that the Deep State might be willing to throw Hillary under the bus as a means to divert attention from the incompetent misrule of Joe Xiden's handlers.

There is an equally infinitesimal chance that I could hit the jackpot on the next MegaMillions ticket that I buy.

They’re gonna need a bigger gallows stage . . .

I still don’t think that this will amount to anything substantial, not that it shouldn’t. We are mired in the deep state, and only a long, violent, bloody civil war will free us.

If they were willing to spy on Trump as a president of United States why would they not steal the election. It’s a no freaking brainer and he did it with the FBI’s help.

dreamers. thats what i call people who think anything negative will ever be done to the clintons, obamas, bidens, etc. Unless its purely coincidence, like lightning hitting their air plane, nothing is ever going to be done, regardless of the evidence. Oh wait, i guess someone could arkansacide them... no one on the right is willing to try that, though. SO no, not really a possibility, either.

The Obozo and Clinton crime families don’t like each other so there is a chance something could come of this.

The Birmingham church bombing took between 12 and 37 years for suspects to be charged .., Durham has got plenty of time to shuffle about aimlessly without doing worse.

[TornadoAlley3]

The left won’t mind Hillary going to jail as long as Trump goes too. Might even be their plan.

Well, my inner Charlie Brown is feeling rather ... ahhhmmmm .....

I certainly hope this isn't just about going after Hillary. She is 74, and not a healthy 74, either. Obama and his Marxist minions were also involved in this, and present a much bigger problem into the future if they aren't dealt with in the present.

The feds may as well have given the January 20, 2017 DC rioters a cookie and hot coco they were so understanding … but for “trespassing” (a crime some Democrat DAs will not prosecute) there’s gonna be years in prison without conviction.

I’ve been hearing this crap for 30 years.
