Durham’s In-Your-Face Danchenko Gambit
American Thinker ^ | 17 Oct, 2022 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 10/17/2022 5:09:15 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Durham has prove that the FBI and the DoJ turned a willfully blind eye to the dirtiest trick in the nation’s political history.

In the larger drama we’ll call “Russiagate” Igor Danchenko gets nowhere near top billing. Even today, after his week-long trial, not one American out of ten could identify this FBI informant by name. Fewer still could tell you word one about the drama’s other walk-ons, Sergei Millian and Charles Dolan. Although the Democrats and major media are anxious to see all three of these minor players vanish into the ether, Special Counsel John Durham made future stars out of them all.

Danchenko was accused of lying to the FBI about his relationships with both Millian and Dolan. These are lies, said Durham’s co-counsel Michael Keilty in his opening statement that “the FBI should have uncovered but never did.” So saying, team Durham put Washington on notice. This trial was not really about Danchenko at all. It was about the FBI, the Department of Justice, and, finally, the Mueller investigation.

“The evidence in this trial will show that the Steele dossier would cause the FBI to engage in troubling conduct that would ultimately result in the extended surveillance of the United States Citizens,” said Keilty. That conduct, the trial revealed, included offering Christopher Steele what amounted to a million-dollar bribe to corroborate his infamous dossier, paying Danchenko to be a confidential human source (CHS) after he proved to be a serial liar, and basing a multi-year persecution of President Trump on information the FBI had every reason to believe was bunk.

The attempted bribe, revealed on Day One of the trial, should have stopped the presses. Specifically, Durham asked FBI supervisor Brian Auten what the FBI offered Steele for “corroborative information.” Said Auten,

It looks like Merrick Garland is preventing Durham from implicating the FBI, DOJ and probably Hillary/DNC. The evidence Durham is presenting clearly implicates them.

He’s doing this to help the Jury to NOT CONVICT him. The Jury will say it was the FBI’s fault—not guilty.

And then Durham folds up shop...mission accomplished. No one convicted and he bought time for those wanting justice to just get tired and give up.

Like, you know, um, like the media would, like, what’s it called, um, yeah, you know, um, report it?

The vast majority of Americans have been so dumbed down by every institution in America that they don’t expect or even know to expect what the media should do. Let’s just watch some Ukraine war porn before The Wheel of Fortune starts.

With this type of clarification every republican who refutes the Big Lie using this evidence will be called a liar without sources.

Our MSM does a mis-service to the country, unless they are executing a gloabalist agenda - oh yea they are. Everyone hated America First; America First kept us safe. This crew will see American’s killed by China over Taiwan and/or elsewhere in the Pacific Rim.

America Last under Biden (who will die before he see the first missile) couldn’t find the Red Phone to Kremlin on his desk, but he could dial up Xi.

~~~

Nobody can name Bobulinski either.

There was once a time that the likes of 60 minutes would have covered people like this, even if it was to put a left hand spin on it, or do damage control. Now, they are all complicit in memory-holing everything bad for democrats. It is as if they never existed.

Partner, now we have to add a couple of people with Hillary and the orange jump suit with ankle braces and wrist braces in court.

Merrick Garland is guilty as can be and so is the FBI Chief Wray guilty.

McConnell just sits with hands in pockets counting his money.

Bozo Vegetable Biden does not say one thing since he already had been told by his spouse the the only thing she needs out of Bozo Vegetable Biden is too keep their son from going to jail.

A POTUS who is a Vegetable. I stole the term who called Biden a Vegetable. I know that it hurts knowing this.

Tagline still applies. The power to ignore, the power to NOT inform, is one of the biggest weapons of the agenda-driven media.

Look at all the media attention this trial is garnering from the MSM; zero.

In this case, who will play the role of Ceausescu?
