“Is the Pope Catholic? 🤡”

Not this pope.

If Francis lives a few more years there won’t be a Catholic Church. There will be some disintegrating National Catholic churches and a couple of small schismatic sects that retain tradition and national governments will work to squash those.

“In essence, prosecutor Shaw is telling the jury the FBI were duped into the Trump-Russia conspiracy investigation by outsiders connected to the Clinton campaign. “

It said they knew early on the info was not plausible so the premise for this article is flawed, since the FBI launched further investigation later after knowing that.

“An FBI agent said Tuesday that it took him and another agent “less than a day” to determine the allegation about former President Donald Trump having ties to a Russian financial institution was false and pushed by Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman. “

They all belong to “The Club” so no, nothing will happen to these RAT traitors.

Of course that’s the argument being made in Sussmann’s trial. It’s Sussman’s trial, not the FBI’s. Sussman did wrong, and you prosecute for the wrong he did. Sussmann’s *defense* is that the FBI knew what was going on and did their wrong anyway - and is in a position where they’ve had to give up information in that regard. The FBI’s wrongdoing is a completely different case.

It may well turn out that the FBI wrongdoing is not prosecuted, but not because of the argument in the case.

You won’t believe this, but years ago when this all started, I remember thinking...those who represent the Law...will end up saying...BUT I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS ALL A SCAM.

Please God, do not let them get away with that.

All the reports, all the headlines, all the whispers would lead a rational person to KNOW that it was a scam.

Is it hard to believe that they did that to Cover Their Azzes.

IMHO... This is the whole point of the trial...

Like the IRS attacking the Tea Party... It will be the fault of one or two people where the Fed Agencies involved had no idea they were being used...

In Mob terminology... Durham is the Cleaner...

Gotta wonder if Durham’s function with this treason was the same as Ken Starr’s role with “investigating” Xlintoon corruption — damage control.

I guess what needs to be decided now is whether or not we are really a nation of laws. They better think this one out really carefully before going down that path. I say we should follow our Constitution & if that happens to mean a wholesale arrest of many in in our country, then so be it. We have had unequal justice for too long now.

This is about “our FBI” which should not be used as a tool by anyone.

The test has begun fail is not an option.

Stick with Kash Patel. He’s been the mostest rightest of all the sources so far. And remember that James Baker was the first to quit when the scam started coming to light-—which he apparently saw in the tunnel early on. So I never expected anything would happen to him and he seems to be co-operating. Nothing I’ve seen so far limits how many dirtbags Durham will go after. And if Durham was only going after Sussmann he could have finished that long ago. Part of the difference will be just how much of hisownass Sussman is willing to save. Personally , I want to see Perkins-Gooey get stuck hard.
