It is interesting, if nothing else. – One interesting aspect of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s decision to bring the Chief of the violent crimes and narcotics trafficking section for the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., Anthony Scarpelli, onto his investigation team is that Scarpelli has been a specialist in RICO-type investigations over the last decade. His job has been to identify domestic and international drug trafficking networks and bring the major players to justice, as he and his team did in the example described at this link.
In response to the piece on this that I posted last night, one cynical reader responded that Scarpelli is nothing more than a guy who was sitting around right now with nothing to do, so Durham brought him in to get him some work. Who knows – that could be right. On the other hand, he has been in charge of a team of 23 attorneys and 20 support staff, so what are those 43 people going to be doing in his absence?
On the other hand – which seems more likely, frankly – Durham may have identified Scarpelli as having the skillset needed to help make whatever case or cases he is planning to bring. Such cases would be brought against what we all know was a complex international conspiracy run out of the DOJ and FBI first to fix the 2016 election and then to execute a coup d’etat on American soil. This cabal wasn’t trafficking in drugs, but it was trafficking in disinformation and propaganda, and, as last December’s Horowitz Report and the recently-declassifed footnotes and margin notes clearly document, using what it knew to be false information in order to defraud the FISA court.
Prosecuting highly-complex conspiracy cases with hundreds of moving parts such as this one is a specialized area of expertise within the Department of Justice, and it is not something in which Durham himself has specialized. Just as Gestapo Chief Robert Mueller brought in rafts of attorneys who were specialists in money laundering, financial crimes, tax evasion and other areas to help execute his coup effort, we would expect a U.S. Attorney investigating the investigators to make similar moves in putting together his own team.
Which is why the selection of Scarpelli is so interesting. Take a look at his curriculum vitae as described at his Linkedin page:
Manage and supervise 23 senior attorneys and 20 support staff handling all aspects of federal violent crimes, narcotics, firearms, and money laundering investigations and prosecutions. Counsel supervisors and line prosecutors regarding investigative, charging, and trial issues. Review indictments, affidavits, forfeiture allegations, and proposed plea offers. Evaluate requests for major investigatory steps, such as wiretap authorizations and GPS data collection. Act as a liaison to law enforcement agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, HSI, and other federal and local law enforcement agencies. Supervised and managed complex litigation involving an FBI agent who tampered with evidence in dozens of criminal cases. Developed and implemented Office’s threats and escape prosecution protocol. Top Secret/SCI Clearance. [End]
Obviously, given the recent reports that Durham has spent many days holed up in a SCIF in recent months personally reviewing top secret information, that clearance is important. But all of the rest of those items listed could be directly relevant to Durham’s effort if he does indeed plan a real effort to prosecute the major players in the conspiracy.
Pay particular attention to this item: “Supervised and managed complex litigation involving an FBI agent who tampered with evidence in dozens of criminal cases.” In addition to the cabal’s efforts to defraud the FISA court, would that experience not be directly relevant to the effort by the FBI to entrap and frame General Mike Flynn and the multiple revisions of the 302 reports that FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors went to great lengths to hide?
Many observers, including journalist John Solomon, have speculated in recent weeks that Durham will likely only indict a few low-level players as sacrificial lambs and leave it at that. The move of Scarpelli onto the Durham team at least provides some hope that something bigger and more encompassing may be in the works.
That is all.
It should be a RICO style case!!
But wake me when there’s an indictment!!
“Tick-tock, tick-tock if Trump loses in November these investigations will disappear into the rabbit hole.”
________________________________________________
If Trump loses in November, it’s game over anyway for the Country as we know it, (more than likely forever).
So, will it really matter?
Yes! Prayer can expose ALL the darkness and bring evil into the light!!
Who is John Durham?
He sure as hell ain’t John Galt.
Those of us that have followed this since the outset know there was a criminal conspiracy among a small group of high-level officials within the government who collaborated with DNC operatives to influence the 2016 election and target a duly elected President.
That will not change for me.
Those of us who pay attention know there is a two-tiered justice system with selective and very aggressive prosecution of Trump associates and immunity for those around HRC and the Obama administration.
That will not change for me.
I was one of those that expected justice to be done. My expectations began dying with the unnecessary recusal of Jeff Sessions and the continuation of this by DOJ, the special counsel, and using process crimes to target people in the Trump orbit and General Flynn.
My faith in the system has been badly shaken so I have adopted the rationally cynical view that nothing significant will happen.
I hope that I am wrong, but I no longer respond to any “boom” moments. I am numb to it now.
The clear evidence of a soft-coup is there for anyone who looks.
The clear evidence of wrong-doing and dishonesty is there for anyone who looks.
The clear evidence of wrong-doing by the Biden’s in Ukraine, China, and other nations is there for anyone who looks.
The clear evidence of numerous violations of the law by HRC and company with her email system is there for anyone who looks. The clear evidence that she and others obstructed justice and destroyed evidence is there for anyone who looks.
The clear evidence of crimes by the Clinton Foundation is there for anyone who looks.
It is all very clear to me and I can provide specifics, but when the man who likely knows far more than we do, John Solomon, feels that only a few “small players” will be indicted that tells you everything you need to know.
“They” will get away with it.

Before the fourth box is opened.

I had high hopes regarding all of this until the mid term elections passed.
Now it looks like an entire Presidential term will have passed with.....nada, or very close to it.
The Deep State or Swamp if you will, at this point should literally feel emboldened. This nation has crossed the Rubicon, and we are now officially a 3rd world kleptocracy.
And when they get away with it, it will get worse.
Bank robbers usually rob more banks once they realize they can get away with it. They eventually go into a robbery frenzy, to the point they eventually get caught.
But imagine if you will, the bank robbers being in control of the law?
The Rubicon was crossed on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when ALL of our elected and appointed clapped like trained seals for an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia being sworn in as President in direct violation of the Constitution.
fyi
WHAT??? Fraud Fauci was being looked into?? FOR WHAT would that Little DEEP STATE COUP PLOTTER FRAUD DOCTOR do WRONG??
Fraud Fauci was being looked into??””
“Fauci was a workplace tyrant who was under investigation for swiping scientific research, covering up tainted vaccines, doling out lucrative federal grants to feckless cronies and much more.”
The link I posted has more detail. If he can be tied to “tainted vaccines”, I think that would be more than enough to have him yanked from the Task Force.
Yep, can’t let that happen.
Don’t leave out Clapper the gonorrhea man
Dr. Joycelyn Elders will be sad to read that...
