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.
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.
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.
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.
Hope springs eternal

Solomon said that the upcoming spate of indictments would not be “big”. He did not infer that that would be the end of Durham’s entire investigation. And what Solomon said could have been disinfo, as well.

Very interesting. Thanks.
Soloman has done a lot of sober reporting, gone where others were too uncomfortable to print details and his sources were made central for his credibility, on display as impeccable.
However oddly, he has never sounded confident about much of real consequence ever happening, beyond maybe a little basic excitement over this-or-that piece of a report breaking, “soon”.
What’s that all about? Is John simply that cynical, after all these years of covering not-much justice being served above the low level players and Never to the top tier?
