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

Someone is trying to discredit whatever it is that’s coming down the pike, through shoddy and speculative Hartford Courant story about prosecutor resignation, which suggests that something is about to happen....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 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 (emphasis added, with my annotations in brackets):

Tick tock. How can anyone sleep waiting for the big impending news? /src

[gibsonguy]

No doubt the little traitors are sweating. Knowing any moment harsh memo might be in their in box.

[coloradan]

Yawn. Indictments and prosecutions or it didn’t happen. Years have passed since the knowledge of criminal actions was obtained, and the election looms.

We can be damn sure that Rat Party Headquarters has plants inside the investigation doing everything they can to derail it.If these plants see that they're failing they'll do what they can to discredit it...like the Hartford Courant story...and other things as well.

If we see the Amazon Compost reporting that Durham is into kiddie porn we'll know that something's (or someone's) about to go down.

She quit from exhaustion. Think its easy producing one conviction in a year? I don’t think so. Durham must be working them like a rented mule ;-)

If Biden would win, it’s all over!

You've gotta admit that if something big happens (indictment,guilty plea,etc) in the next month it will hurt Plugs substantially. And remember,a mid-level DOJ lawyer (and Obama sycophant) has already pleaded guilty. That means he's giving up people above him.

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course it is...President LegsUpHigh,a bulldog as Kalifornia’s AG, would see to it.

I heard about the Nora Dannehy political pressure resignation several times on Fox "News" radio, so obviously this is a story the Democrats wanted in the headlines. To me, this is an indication the Dems fear indictments are imminent and are now getting the word out there the Durham probe is compromised politically.

Listening to Fox "News" radio is a sure fire way to know what the DNC talking points of the day are.

I have no faith anything approaching justice will happen.
Expecting a dishonest organization(FBI & DOJ) to suddenly become honest is a strain upon reality.
Funny thing about reality, ignore it and it tends to work against you...

IKR? This is as big a flop as I recall. They have far more evidence than in Mafia RICO investigations. Someone is slowwalking this until it has no more meaning or until Biden shuts it down and reclassifies everything related top-top-secret.

[Starboard]

DC never punishes DC. Period. End of story.

I don’t think many people have any faith left in the entire government anymore. Its become corrupt and deceitful.

Yep. The Big Stall.

I long ago gave up hopes of seeing the coup plotters frog-marched off to jail. That would have been nice to see, that's for sure.

Longtime Freeper LS told us from the start of Trump's first term that we could have one of two things:

1) Hillary and her gang in jail
2) The Trump Agenda

It makes sense. If Trump spent his first term rounding up and prosecuting his opponents (and they did commit real crimes), nothing else would have gotten done and Trump's political capital (with Republicans) would have been spent.

I'll take the Trump Agenda, a Trump second term and consider it a win. Anything else will be icing on the cake. Maybe Trump will have a freer hand in his second term but we need to focus on getting him there right now.

************************************************************

Amen to all that.

Will never forget the all day breathless reporting about Trump and his support of the white nationalists back during the Charlottesville fake story. Fox “News” radio lost me forever that day/week/month.

[OKSooner]

Well, technically it was one plea bargain.

It's not like Durham is a total slave driver or something.

(If he, John Durham, actually does exist, which I maintain he doesn't, until proven otherwise.)

[rockabyebaby]

barr, durham, graham, GOP - ALL OF THEM ARE USELESS.

In my 68 years I have never seen first tier dimocrats and their minions held accountable for their crimes. So....
