HUGE: Durham Investigation of Obamagate Expands
PJ Media ^ | 2/2/2022 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 02/02/2022 3:00:08 PM PST by Signalman

Special Counsel John Durham is not yet finished with his investigation into the Obamagate scandal, and a new report says his efforts have expanded.

According to recent court filings, Durham has gained access to a significant amount of FBI internal affairs files in his effort to uncover the Obama administration’s maneuvers to promote bogus allegations against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Team Obama’s disingenuous investigation of the anti-Trump allegations, called Crossfire Hurricane, relied on the discredited Christopher Steele dossier, which was paid for by party activists.

The Washington Times reports that “Three times in his 19-page submission Mr. Durham tells the judge that his team is conducting an ‘active, ongoing criminal investigation’ not limited to the defendant, former Hillary Clinton campaign legal adviser Michael A. Sussmann.”

Durham was appointed as special counsel in December 2020 in order to protect the investigation, which began while he was a U.S. Attorney, from being quashed by the Biden administration. Joe Biden promptly fired all Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys in his first weeks in office.

This is obviously not good news for Joe Biden, who has been implicated in the scandal. During his confirmation hearings, U.S. Attorney Merrick Garland refused to commit to protecting the Durham investigation.

Durham reportedly now has access to over 130,000 pages of new material, with 492,000 pages more expected. It is a lot harder for a president to fire a special counsel than a U.S. attorney.

Every time Durham wants to investigate something, he has to get Garland’s approval.

So, we don’t know how many times he’s been told No already. We wouldn’t know.

We do know that Mannafort, Papadopolous, Flynn we’re all made priority and wrapped up, and sentenced.

We also know Strzok and Page broke the Law.

Why do you care if he does?

I don't care of he does or not but don't call me a communist democrat for not buying this garbage.

John Durham does not exist.

Of course you’re right. It’s no harder than firing anyone else. It’s the blowback rat makes it hard, but the media wouldn’t even report on the firing, so in this case there would be no blowback

That’s pretty damn close.

Sessions/Rosenstein/Mueller/Huber were all said to be bringing down the Hammer.

I’m not sure about needing permission, I need to look into that. But, the examples you gave illustrate the point that someone was really out to get them and used methods not normally employed. Durham, in my opinion, is methodically investigating and not pulling the trigger unless and until he’s got the goods. It also seems as he goes after one, he finds more about others and follows those paths accordingly.

In 2547 they will unearth the skeleton of Durham’s grandson. He was still expanding the investigation. The last thing he wrote was “Get more data on Hillary...”

Q: What is 50 x 0?

That’s what an expanded Durham investigation looks like.

How long did it take to indict, try, sentence and execute McVeigh? They can move quickly when they want to.

The DoJ is corrupt and will slow walk any real criminal investigation. It’s a professional courtesy. Criminals let other criminals off and mainly pursue honest people. That’s how they operate.

Even if he really is investigating, it wouldn’t take this long to charge people for spying. He doesn’t have to have everything finished.

Yes! He isn’t flipping anybody. No family members indicted. No raids.

Smells like a Sessions / Huber

Midterm surprise. Works both ways I guess. Hillary is as guilty as hell but I know that Durham slow walked his investigation so it could not help Trump in 2020 but now he will actually do his job to help Republicans in the 2022 midterms.

To save myself time, I search on the word “handcuffs” before bothering to read.

This investigation could go on for years. Is the plan to run out the clock?
