I share your disappointment with the slow pace of Durham and yet I also share your sense that things are moving in a positive direction. I’m still hopeful his investigation will eventually lead to something meaningful but I think things are starting to move more quickly on other fronts. I’m starting to think Durham is not going to kick things off but will be more like a final act. We have an illegitimate usurper in the White House and dealing with that is the more immediate and pressing problem that has to be addressed.

Biden’s Secret Promise To OPEC Backfires

In 2020, Democrats blocked Trump’s proposal to buy American oil at $24 a barrel. Yesterday, a Biden official disclosed a secret offer to buy OPEC+ oil at $80 a barrel.
In early September, United States Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, told Reuters that President Joe Biden was considering extending the release of oil from America’s emergency stockpiles, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), through October, and thus beyond the date when the program had been set to end. But then, a few hours later, an official with the Department of Energy called Reuters and contradicted Granholm, saying that the White House was not, in fact, considering more SPR releases. Five days later, the White House said it was considering refilling the SPR, thereby proposing to do the exact opposite of what Granholm had proposed.

Yeah, take the quiz, why don’t cha’ !”
Allow me to ask a series of questions about what Special Counsel John Durham has already established at trial via documented evidence and testimony:
1. Did the Hillary Clinton campaign secretly hire federal cybersecurity contractors with access to classified government databases?
Yes. No.
2. Were these cybersecurity contractors hired by the Clinton campaign given a specific list of people to target for illegal surveillance?
Yes. No
3. Did the illegal surveillance the cybersecurity contractors were involved in on behalf of the Clinton campaign involve taking from the federal agency databases classified and non public data related to the specific targets on the list they were given?
Yes. No
4. After taking the classified and non public data related to the Clinton Enemies List they were given, did the cybersecurity contractors working in conjunction with Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS fashion two specific Trump/Russia collusion hoaxes with this data?
Yes. No
5. Is stealing classified information off of federal databases and fashioning it into hoaxes that you then hand over to federal law enforcement a major crime?
Yes. No
6. When someone pays someone else to steal classified information, the theft of classified information and privileged data is called ‘espionage’.
Yes. No
7. When this stealing of classified/non public data off of federal databases to construct hoaxes targeting a political campaign morphs into continuing an illegally predicated surveillance and investigation of a sitting President and his close Cabinet members and associates, it becomes treason against the United States.
Yes. No
8. If he so desired, Special Counsel John Durham could charge all involved in payment for the theft of classified/non public data to construct the Alfa Bank & Steele Dossier hoaxes with espionage?
Yes. No
9. If he so desired, Special Counsel John Durham could charge all involved in continuing an illegally predicated federal criminal investigation and surveillance of a sitting President, his Cabinet and his staff and his family?
Yes. No
10. Durham already established in official court filings that the FBI hired as a CHS a Russian national with an unresolved espionage investigation against him.
Yes. No
11. This Russian national investigated for espionage against the United States back in 2009/2010 was the main source for the Steele Dossier, the hoax used to obtain a FISA warrant against Carter Page and, by extension, Donald Trump and his campaign.
Yes. No
12. This Russian national and suspected Russian spy and disinformation agent attempted to steer the FBI away from an actual Steele Dossier source: Longtime Clinton family associate and power broker Charles H. “Chuck” Dolan.
Yes. No
13. This Russian national who’s trial begins in two weeks also attempted to proffer a fake Steele Dossier source to the FBI, Sergei Millian.
Yes. No
14. Christopher Steele was fired as a CHS by the FBI in October of 2016. Steele’s main employee, Igor Danchenko, was subsequently hired as an FBI CHS in March of 2017 and kept on until he was let go in October of 2020. An FBI informant is usually hired to inform on people they’ve been in close association with.
Yes. No
15. You’re not asking me if Special Counsel John Durham can prove any of these crimes took place. All you’re really asking me is will he charge anybody for these crimes he’s already proven took place.
Yes. No
QUIZ KEY: The answer to all 15 questions is…YES.
Thanks for taking my quiz. We’ll compare notes again at the end of October.
