General Flynn on John Durham: “Whatever His Reputation as a Thorough Prosecutor was, is Now Gone”

The Gateway Pundit ^ | October 18, 2022 | Jim Hoft

[Macho MAGA Man]

On Tuesday Igor Danchenko was acquitted on all four charges against him for lying to the FBI.

Danchenko and Christopher Steele made up the entire Trump-Russia narrative and the FBI-DOJ ran with it for years.

Not one of the criminals at the FBI-DOJ who participated in the coup against President Trump will be punished.

Following the announcement today General Michael Flynn, whose life was ruined by the lies and corruption of the Department of Justice, responded to the jury verdict.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry, who covered the FBI’s Trump-Russia hoax better than anyone, reported.

Paul Sperry: BREAKING: Gen. Michael Flynn, who was Trump’s national security adviser, told me in the wake of the Danchenko trial, which ended in the acquittal of the anti-Trump dossier fabricator, that Durham should be ashamed of himself for losing another case in the Russiagate scandal. “The whole episode makes the DOJ and FBI look wholly corrupt or wholly incompetent or a combination of the above, neither of which is good for the country and neither instills any confidence in the rule of law for the average citizen,” Flynn said. “It’s disgraceful, and clear evidence exists that treason or certainly fraud occurred by the Clinton campaign and by the leadership inside both organizations. Durham should be ashamed. Whatever his reputation as a thorough prosecutor was is now gone”

[Macho MAGA Man]

This is utterly unprecedented what has happened with these coup plotters. How can Durham ever show his face in a courtroom again?

[Triple]

Agreed!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Durham and Barr were a couple of bloviating commie lib moles who worked their way into the Trump administration to help the far left in their treasonous attack on President Trump and to bring down the Trump Administration. IMHO.

[Major Matt Mason]

Well, General, maybe there should have been a better "plan" than relying on a life-long Democrat to prosecute the Deep State. The outcome was entirely predictable.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Americans are now on their own. We must do everything in our power to stop the commies and Nazis from trying to confiscate our firearms.

[kiryandil]

I'm sure Durham was well-compensated, or well-threatened, or both.

Yet ANOTHER Trump reveal.

[fwdude]

What Durham should have fought hard for is a change of venue, the D.C. courts being completely corrupt and in the pocket of the Dem Party.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Trust Sessions! = Soviet Trust Operation

[lee martell]

I never expected much from Durham. He always seemed to be hiding from anybody who had questions to ask him.

[for-q-clinton]

He planned to lose. Now that the small fish are off the hook he has no way of getting the big fish. 100% Durham is part of the coverup. Just like I said when he was appointed by Barr.

[Socon-Econ]

A DC court will never favor conservatives, so don’t blame Durham. Legal genius can’t overcome a jury pool of Trump haters coached by a politicized Democrat judge.

[ConservativeMind]

TRUST SESSIONS

TRUST DURHAM

[Rurudyne]

I recall expressing the thought that he might be playing rope-a-dope fairly early on.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The outcome was exactly how Durham wanted it, and it only took him more than two years of foot dragging to achieve it.

[Mark17]

The outcome was entirely predictable.

I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think anyone will ever be called on the carpet, for anything. People have said, the A hole in the white hut, could BBQ babies on the white hut lawn, and would walk. I also believe that to be true.

[CFW]

“The outcome was exactly how Durham wanted it, and it only took him more than two years of foot dragging to achieve it.”

_____

I’d be interested to know how much money he received for this farce and cover-up, both officially and unofficially.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Yep and he wrapped up right before the midterms.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Yep and he wrapped up right before the midterms.

Igor Danchenko Found Not Guilty on all Four Counts of Lying to the FBI

October 18, 2022 | Sundance | 204 Comments

Igor Danchenko was a well-known fabricator of (dis)information long before the FBI made the purposeful decision to enlist him in their Trump targeting efforts.  Specifically because Danchenko had no moral compass to the truth he was particularly useful for the FBI effort.  This was the big problem for John Durham in prosecuting Danchenko for material lies the FBI knew from the outset were false.

How does the same DOJ who used the lies for their political purposes, then prosecute the liar for the false information?  That was always the structural flaw in any case brought by Durham.  As a result, the trial was not so much about the lying Danchenko as it was about the lying FBI and their use of Danchenko.

A jury found Igor Danchenko not guilty on four counts of lying to the FBI, on four occasions. 

(1) Danchenko told FBI agents he received a phone call in late July 2016 Sergei Millian. However, Danchenko knew he had never received a call from Millian.

(2) Danchenko gave a false statement to FBI agents that he “was under the impression” that the late July 2016 call was from Millian.

(3) Danchenko falsely stated to FBI agents that he believed he spoke to Millian on the phone on more than one occasion. And

(4) Danchenko lied that he “believed he has spoken to [Millian] on the telephone,” when Danchenko well knew he had never spoken to Millian.

The FBI didn’t care about the details of the lies that were told to them; the lies served a purpose.  The FBI purpose was to use the Steele Dossier as the foundation for a fraudulent all-encompassing search warrant against the Trump campaign and presidency, using Carter Page.  That construct was always the motive of the DOJ/FBI use of Danchenko, Chris Steele and the infamous dossier that gave the DOJ the patina they needed for the FISA application.

The trial itself showed how corrupt the FBI and DOJ were in this scheme by:

A) offering Chris Steele $1 million for proof of the dossier content. 

B) By making Danchenko a confidential human source for two years to shield him, “sources and methods”, from investigative inquiry.

C) By paying Danchenko $200,000 for his time as a useful tool and confidential human source.

As noted in the summary of the trial by Technofog:

[…] “What is more important is that which informs our understanding of the Trump/Russia investigation and the FBI/DOJ/Mueller misconduct that sparked Crossfire Hurricane and continued through the Mueller investigation. That information was revelatory.

The institutions were on trial alongside Danchenko, with Durham recognizing in closing arguments that “the FBI mishandled the investigation at issue.” And the institutions rightly suffered.

Danchenko might have been spared, but is there any reasonable doubt as to the FBI’s incompetence – and guilt?  (read more)

As CTH has stated from the outset of the entire scheme, the problem is institutional corruption.  The personnel, administration, leadership and participants, within the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI are corrupt.

Institutions do not become corrupt by themselves.  People within the institutions are the cause of the corruption, and every person attached to the Trump-Russia investigation – including Robert Mueller, are corrupt.  It was a scheme in 2016, which became a coverup operation in 2017, which became an explosive institutional problem in 2019 which Bill Barr was trying to manage.

• Institutional Preservation – Bill Barr applied the Bondo to the rusted framework of the DOJ and FBI, and John Durham applied the spray paint by not targeting anyone inside the justice department.

John Durham only focused, perhaps because he was only allowed to focus, on the external participants to the originating schemes.  One thing is clear, John Durham never once mentioned the corrupt nature of the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann coverup operation.

Danchenko was represented by the same lawyers representing Hillary Clinton because at the heart of Danchenko’s intent was an effort to support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 October surprise they were constructing using fabricated claims of Trump colluding with Russia to win the election.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A jury has found Russian national Igor Danchenko not guilty on four false statements charges, declining to convict him for the allegations that the main source of British ex-spy Christopher Steele had lied to the FBI about his sourcing for the discredited anti-Trump dossier.

The jury reached their decision on Tuesday after less than two days of deliberations, delivering John Durham another defeat in his long-running investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators, after the special counsel lost another false statements case against a Clinton campaign lawyer in May.

Major macho man… you tough guy.

How did fight the “deep state” within our government? As a major, did you stand up better than the General?

He stood up and lost much…how much did you sacrifice?

STFU.
