Durham Needs to Bring Indictments

The alternative to a purely domestic intelligence operation targeting a major political party's candidate for the presidency (and later, president) was to manufacture a foreign counterintelligence (FCI) "threat" that could then be "imported" back into the United States.

Plausible deniability, the Holy Grail of covert activities, was in reach for the plotters if they could develop an FCI operation outside the continental United States (OCONUS) involving FBI confidential human sources (Halper, Mifsud, others?) that would act as "lures" (intelligence jargon associated with double agent operations) to ensnare Trump associates.

We have evidence of these machinations from December 2015 when FBI lawyer Lisa Page texts to her boyfriend, the now infamous FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, "You get all our oconus lures approved? ;)."

The coup plot failed, but the chief coup conspirators are free, crisscrossing the country on book tours and appearing as paid contributors to CNN and MSNBC.

There is new evidence that U.S. Attorney John Durham is getting to the root of criminal abuses by senior U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials in their conspiracy to undermine the Trump campaign, transition and presidency. Mr. Durham's mandate from Attorney General William Barr -- to uncover the seditious plot behind the Trump-Russia hoax, if pursued vigorously, will uncover the single greatest threat to the Constitution since the nation's founding.

Mr. Durham's apparent interest in FBI source Stefan Halper and the contract vehicles available to the Pentagon think tank, the Office of Net Assessments, for whom Halper worked, is an important clue.

Likewise, Mr. Durham's travel to Italy for talks with the Italian government and their intelligence service points to another possible clue concerning the mysterious Maltese academic, Joseph Mifsud.

We’re so starved to see someone — anyone — be brought to justice, that we’re salivating for an indictment.

Hate to say this, but an indictment is only the first step. Who wants to bet on the outcome of politically-charged trials held in D.C.?

It’ll be OJ all over again. Or Hillary. Proof beyond the required standard, but acquittal, nevertheless.

The only way to restore some sense of trust in our government is to bring indictments on those responsible for putting our country through all this.

As far as i’m concerned at this point...there is NO rule of law. It is up to those elected leaders to bring confidence back.

Corruption in D.C. is breathtaking and MUST be reigned in.

I cannot recall any instances of corrupt sleaze politicians meeting justice.
