US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham was tapped by then Attorney General Jeff Sessions in March of 2017 to investigate then-FBI Director James Comey.

According to a new book written by New York Times reporter Mike Schmidt, Sessions in March of 2017 appointed John Durham to investigate James Comey following a report by the New York Times that Comey asked the DOJ to make a statement denying Trump’s accusation that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower — but the DOJ refused....

Durham did nothing in that case.

[Buttons12]

Durham did nothing in that case.

Who couldn't retro-predict that?

Espionage Statute of Limitations

Although federal statute USC 3282 provides for a five-year statute of limitation for the vast majority of federal crimes, this statute of limitations does not necessarily stand in the case of espionage prosecution. It is generally agreed by legal scholars that acts of espionage can be prosecuted for at least ten years after the alleged act. Certain executive acts and extenuating factors may provide for prosecution after an even longer period of time.

Time for a reckoning for Obama-era acolytes and suck-ups......
US govt officials, with malice aforethought, deliberately undermined
the safety and security of Americans w/ what they knew was a wild goose chase.

The following knew it was bogus because they masterminded the plot from the getgo:
<><>former FBI Director James Comey,
<><>former CIA Director John Brennan,
<><> former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper,
<><>former Attorney General Loretta Lynch,
<><> Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates,
<><>former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe,
<><>former FBI agent Peter Strzok,
<><> former FBI lawyer Lisa Page,
<><>Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr,
<><> mastermind of the plot, Barack Obama,
<><> Obama's security advisor Susan Rice.

===================================

Obama’s Government Legacy:
<><>keeping all his lies straight,
<><>framing opponents,
<><>knocking off whistle-blowers,
<><>leaking propaganda pieces to favored media puppets,
<><>paying phony witnesses for unfavorable testimony,
<><>fleecing taxpayers,
<><>squashing sexual harassment scandals,
<><>feigning moral outrage,
<><>pretending to have morals,
<><>acting like money and power is the last thing on his mind.
<><> neutering US military weapon strength & high ranking personnel.
<><> world wide apology tour
<><> filling govt job openings by his race/religion preference
<><> fleecing the US treasury to finance terrorist countries
<><> fleecing the US treasury to finance NGO enemies

THE ROT GOES RIGHT TO THE TOP—the criminal legacy of the Halfrican’s misbegotten sojourn in DC. The Mueller investigation has its ultimate roots in the eavesdropping carried out by the Obama admin using the Steele dossier as evidence....by dubious and unverified claims made in the dossier.........

Bigtime Criminal stuff:
<><> the fake Steele dossier was worthless in a conventional legal challenge of the election outcome;
<><> it launched a very different brand of “legal challenge,” one typically seen in banana republics;
<><> Obama’s Third World police state abused govt powers to target the political opposition;
<><> Our FBI and DOJ thugs-—corrupted under Obama——willingly played along to go full banana republic.

=======================================

Trump, the Republican party, AND we the people, free citizens, were standing in the Halfrican’s way and needed to be removed.

Obama's brazen plot against Trump Obama's FBI and DOJ continues, enabled by a complicit media.

Think I’ll wait for confirmation on this.

Former New York Times reporter has no credibility until there is some corroborating evidence.

[MCEscherHammer]

True, Comey was not indicted for the leak at that time...

But, Comey was fired in May of 2017, shortly after Durham was appointed...

So, Comey was punished...

And, maybe a prison cell and possibly a rope await Comey’s 6’8” frame for his involvement in the treasonous coup plot...???

OH, THOSE HEADY DAYS WHEN THE FIX WAS IN----WHEN HILLARY WAS A "SURE-THING"

===============================================

OBAMA's CIA Director Brennan's Perjury Peril.
In his May 2017 testimony before the Congressional intel panel,
<><>Brennan emphatically denied the dossier factored into the Obama intel apparat's conclusion last year that Russia meddled in the 2016 election "to help Trump’s chances of victory.”
<><> Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document,
even though senior national security and counterintelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
<><> One official said: “John Brennan did more than anyone to promulgate the dirty dossier. He politicized and effectively weaponized what was patently false intelligence against Trump.”
<><>Brennan, a fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up the dossier to Democratic leaders, as well as the press, during the 2016 campaign and fed allegations about Trump-Russia contacts directly to the FBI, while pressuring the bureau to conduct an investigation of several Trump campaign figures.

=============================================

Obama's CIA Director, John Brennan, sucked up bigtime to get a job with Hillary; he worked tidbits from the tidbits from the phony ‘Pee Dossier’ into Obama’s Daily Intel Briefing (PDB). Wadda ya know 'bout that? Brennan and Hillary pegged Obama correctly......
<><> Obama was stupid enough to believe it...... and
<><> too stupid to understand he was reading falsified intel.

========================================
AND THIS--- Devin Nunes is investigating Obama intel officials' roles in promoting the salacious Steele dossier -- and is said to be focusing on:
<><> Obama's CIA Director John Brennan,
<><> Obama’s first CIA director, Leon Panetta,
<><> Obama's intel czar, James Clapper,
<><> Obama's NSA adviser, Susan Rice, and,
<><> Obama's hand-picked UN Amb Samantha Power.

[Starboard]

Here’s the key take away from Durham’s future report: DC doesn’t punish DC.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Durham did nothing in that case.

Or, Sessions did nothing with whatever Durham was turning up.

Either way, nothing was done.

[lodi90]

Durham? It’s over. Most likely we won’t even get any hearings out of Graham now that Ginsburg has taken the news cycle. This is why Democrats and the Deep State always fight to delay, delay and delay more. They know eventually other events will give them cover for their previous crimes.

And, maybe a prison cell and possibly a rope await Comey’s 6’8” frame for his involvement in the treasonous coup plot...???

More likely Comey will be on CNN commentating.

2016 plus 5 years is 2021. Stall stall is Dem plan.

[rdl6989]

And nothing seems to be happening in this case.

"According to a new book written by New York Times reporter Mike Schmidt,..."

Wow - he played a pretty good third base for the Phillies, too....

[Ann Archy]

"DO NOTHING AGAINST DEMOCRATS" DURHAM! omg....we are DONE as a great Country!

TWO JUSTICE SYSTEMS are Banana Republic CRAP!

[abbastanza]

Never will be a report. Durham is playing the stall game hoping that Trump isn’t elected and he can be saved by the Deep State. These guys are corrupt and evil.
