I have become increasingly skeptical of much of what is going on in our government. AT writers and readers inspire me to question everything.
Some recent events have caused me to pause and ask some questions about why now. When multiple "bad" items are reported in tandem, I am often left to ask: is this really the thing, or is it perhaps a distraction?
In the same timeframe during which the Durham report was released, we also saw a report released on the FBI FISA abuses. We are supposed to be happy that only 278,000 unauthorized (illegal) warrantless searches occurred in 2020 and accept that the FBI has resolved this situation.
Interesting...a system created to keep tabs on foreign threats is being used to illegally spy on American citizens at an alarming rate. And the most absurd item in the story is that we are to believe that the FBI has new processes in place that resolve this. I would not be surprised if we learn later that they redefined the definition of searches to cut down on the number of illegal searches (think redefining gain-of-function research to say we aren't funding it).
One separate comment about the FBI response: the Durham report specifically calls out the FBI for not needing new procedures for the abuses investigated, but the FBI needs better enforcement of existing procedures. If there is ill intent, and I would say the evidence is that there were at least 278,000 instances of ill intent that we know of, then no procedural change made will make a difference. Ill intent equals bad behavior almost every time if there are no consequences.
Why did this report and the Durham report drop at about the same time? Could there be something we are being distracted from?

Hmmmm. Have we been provided with information on who ran those searches? How many of the warrantless searches were run outside FBI offices on portals like the one at Perkins Coie? Did Perkins Coie run any illegal searches through their portal?
Is the Durham Report a distraction from this potential fact pattern?
I think we have to be skeptical of the timing on the Durham report and the warrantless searches disclosure. Was the Durham report used as a distraction from the real issues of the warrantless searches — i.e., that some of those searches were performed by "outside contractors," including a Democrat law firm that used its connections to score the ultimate political research tool? Who else had a portal and was running searches?
Was some of the weaponization of our government performed by "outside contractors" that were supporting the favored candidate for president? I hope that oversight in the House consider this as they continue the weaponization of government hearings.
Does the pope krap in the woods?
To those Freepers who warned us of this, I admit I was wrong and you were right.
Yes it was, thank you.
No, he has a friar do it for him.
Now when they search on a citizen without a warrant, they have to have two agents do it instead of just one. This way it binds them like a blood oath and they both can say they didn’t do anything wrong with the data if they get caught.
The Durham report is a modified limited hangout.
The Durham Report gives meaning to the adage “too little too late”.
The three letter branches of our government have to be torn apart from the top to the bottom. They are out of control and attacking people with different political beliefs. The Jan 6 cases and the never ending attacks on President Trump are ridiculous. The complete double standard enforcing the law is a crime. If we don’t have equality under the law, we have no law.
Yes
I’m with you.
Is the Pope a Commie?
The durham report is comey light, there was some wrong doing but they didn’t know any better
Years ago I posted the potential for the FISA ACT to do bad far outweighs its potential to do good. I opposed this from the beginning.
It’s frustrating that so many people don’t see how dangerous the double standard is. Right now they are attacking the other side of the political divide but eventually they will turn on their own supporters. It might be too late when that happens.
In a...not even perfect world...but a half-way sane world....this report’s revelation would have created a constitutional crisis in America....
considering the corruption and election tampering and other 3rd world banana republic (communist style) shenanigans that the Soros-backed Democrats have already been up to. The behind the scenes ongoing treason by these cretins against our Republic should have called for heads to roll.... literally.
Alas, we are no longer a representative republic....and the world is getting a lot less sane as each day goes by.
And I thought he was a catholic.
