Allow me to disabuse you of your naïve delusion that we still live in a country with a justice system and break it to you that no one is going to jail for what was done to Flynn, or for the unmasking business, or for the Russia hoax or, for that matter, for any of the corrupt Dem/foreigner collaborations exemplified by the payoffs received by stripperphile and Bolivian folk medicine enthusiast Hoover Biden.
No one.
Well, maybe Mike Flynn himself will. Since his judge is now making up the law as he goes along – in law school they taught us that the judicial branch didn’t prosecute, but that was before the Trump Exception™ to existing principles – I actually expect that the next time the General shows up in court the judge will sentence him on his coerced plea to a “crime” that never happened and order the marshals to immediately take him into custody. And, as we have seen far too often since the advent of the bat biter blues, too many LEOs simply obey, apparently never having got the 411 on how the Nuremburg defense of “just following orders” is unsat. Flynn will get pardoned instead of exonerated, so he’ll get sprung from stir, but he will have no civil recourse for resurrecting his reputation or savings, which is the plan.
We have two justice systems, one for them and one for us, meaning we have no justice system at all.
Sorry to have to break this to you. I know it makes you sad, but how do you think I feel? I spent 27 years helping defend this country and voilà – here we are, a flippin’ banana republic. Turns out our elite is perfectly cool with treating our Constitution like Charmin.
You do understand that to the establishment, this dual track system where they ignore the law and we get the law dropped on us – including through active framing, as with LTG Flynn, to keep us in line – is how they want it, right? This is not an unintended consequence. They are for this.
They are actively for the abuse of the legal system to persecute their political enemies. You adorable naïfs come to me thinking that I, as a lawyer, will assuage your gnawing fear that something is rotten in the state of America. “Kurt, but this…this isn’t right? How can some people be prosecuted but other people with connections get away with crimes?” Well, the answer is simple: that is how many of the people with their grubby paws on the levers of power want it.
They want to use the government to stifle dissent, as the IRS did to Tea Party groups.
They want to make people afraid to oppose them by threatening them with crushing legal fees and maybe jail if they dare join the opposition – look at the trail of bankrupt Trumpworld folks after Obamagate.
They want to frame people working for their enemies and ruin them and put them in prison, a la LTG Flynn.
This permeates liberal culture. Did you know that the ACLU – the Alleged Civil Liberties Union – just sued Betsy De Vos because she ordered reforms to campus man-witch trials that gave men such radical due process rights as the right to know the charges, to have time to respond to them, to not be judged by the same person who is prosecuting them, and to confront their accuser? The ACLU came out against these things – at least in cases where ole Grandpa Badfinger’s not the accused. And speaking of that handsy old weirdo, how about all those lib luminaries leveling with us that even if he did what Tara Reade said he did, eh, no biggie. They’ll vote for him anyway, and that whiny broad should stop crying all over their beautiful progressive narrative.
“Where’s the media?” Silly rabbit! The media is with the establishment 100%. It’s not that the media is failing to do its job and negligently not digging into what is the biggest scandal in American history, a scandal that makes Watergate seem, in comparison, as small and insignificant as the manhood of a Bulwark staffer. Not digging into liberal malfeasance is the media’s job. Eventually, those of you who are constantly surprised that the mainstream media is not the collection of dogged, objective truthtellers it pretends to be are going to get tired of being shocked – shocked, I say! – every single day as the media reaffirms its fealty to the liberal elite narrative every single day.
“Where are the prosecutors?” Oh, now you really are amusing me. The DoJ has a few solid folks at the top apparently trying to salvage some credibility out of this debacle, but it takes time to tame a bureaucracy and thanks to that befuddled dork Jeff Sessions that process got delayed for over two years while he tried to play it straight and got taken to the cleaners by the cheats all around him.
You need to prepare yourself. No one of any significance is going to jail for any of this. Ever.
What Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit did with classified info would have put you and me in striped PJs for a decade. She walked. So did her whole clique.
Andrew McCabe lied again and again and … nope, they won’t charge him.
Looming Doofus Comey will walk. Every Democrat donor in the Mueller gang will walk. Samantha Power will walk. And Obama? Sheesh, chatty perpetual Hannity guest and occasional senator Lindsey Graham may get around to holding his long-promised Obamagate hearings on about the 5th of Never. Big Talkin’ LG won’t even dare to call BHO to testify and you think the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Court is gonna be frog-marching The One out of his new beach mansion to prison? Come on.
I’d love to be wrong. Maybe I am. Maybe the unbroken track record of injustice we’ve seen over the last decade will suddenly break. And maybe my pet unicorn Chet will be the foreman of the jury when one of these slugs somehow gets called to account.
“Then I guess we should just give up and resign ourselves to tyranny?” Oh no. Oh, not at all. My short-term assessment is grave, but my long-term assessment is bright. Tyranny tends to fail over time. Remember, the establishment’s embrace of tactical tyranny is an admission of weakness. When they weren’t threatened they could afford to hide their true nature. All this is their last-ditch effort to resist the popular uprising against their inept rule.
We need to stay on the offensive.
Keep your eye on the prize. The prize is not seeing these scumbags behind bars, though that would satisfy our righteous yearning for justice. The prize is the power to not merely defend our rights and prosperity but to enhance them.
So we keep pushing.
But how do we win?
The Constitution is defiled but it’s not dead, and it contains all the answers. We fight on, electing people who will carry the flag forward. We just got one in California – Los Angeles even! – when Navy vet and conservative Mike Garcia shot down the Democrats’ heir to the seat that the hotel room chair-defiling wierdoess Katie Hill lost. We are building up our team, going seat by seat, filling them with conservatives and purging the spineless likes of Jeff Flake.
It will take time. Everything hard takes time. But that’s how we win. Look at DC today. When Donald Trump took office, he had no insiders on his side. He was surrounded by Bushie traitors and Obama holdovers, all looking to take him down. But fast forward to today. The moles are gone, replaced by all-in conservatives with three years of experience inside the Beltway. Ric Grenell’s masterful bureaucratic battering of Adam Schiffforbrains was a perfect example of how we can play this game too. Think of what our side can do with seven years of experience.
Oh, and buy guns and ammunition. Liberty always needs that backstop of an armed citizenry in case the electoral and judicial systems completely collapse. And it totally gives the libs and the Fredocon sissies fits.
So, stop focusing on putting a few putzes in the pokey. That ain’t happening – by the time we have the power to actually do justice the statute of limitations will have long expired. Instead, focus on the real goal. We need to keep and grow our power by taking the House, keeping the Senate, re-electing the President and helping the Murder Turtle pack the courts with patriots.
Join me in a modified serenity prayer: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to own the libs, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

I'll take BOTH options, Kurt.
Through voting and getting America right on course again.
There will be no Durham report, nor would we want one.
Durham is a prosecutor, not a report writer. Durham will either deliver prosecutions or he won't.
And almost three and one-half years in, we still have none.
That said, I won't take the POV of a defeatists like the author or many here.
Barr and Durham have to deliver the goods.
Period.

You’re right; it is a BS article.
We must, can and will win! The war should not simply be fought at any price. It needs the keenest planning and no hasty actions. At some things, there will be only one shot possible. PDJT knows what it’s about and between him, God and his advisors, they certainly how best to get where we need to be. If it’s a bit later than some people’s wishes, no big deal.
What we need to fight off are the “nattering nabobs of negativity,” as Spiro said. That, and the enemies in our midst.
This is all about MAGA while having as few mothers as possible to have to wail over the deaths of their children.
The tree needs to be refreshed, not overwhelmed with blood.
I always come to Free Republic when I’m needing a good dose of negativity and despair.
I guess I should resign myself to the fact that Bill Barr didn’t travel to Italy, twice, to secure testimony from Joseph Mifsud but went because he needed a couple good vacations on the Mediterranean...and it was just a coincidence that Durham’s investigation became a “criminal” matter shortly after listening to Mifsud’s taped deposition. And I guess John Durham taking depositions from people at the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment who were paying Steven Halper was just a good way to practice his interrogation skills.
And I suppose Barr’s discussions with both UK and Australian intelligence agencies was simply an attempt to learn how to better manage the Department of Justice. And I should conclude that Durham seeking and receiving John Brennan’s emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A. is just an indication that he wanted to know if Brennen knew the best restaurants to go to around DC.
And I also suppose that Attorney General Barr brought in five different US Attorney’s to go through all the documents relating to the cases of Flynn, Papadopoulos, Stone, Page and the individual whose name is redacted on the released list of related FISA warrants cuz he wanted to clean up all the spelling errors and poor grammar.
And maybe insider reports of interim Director of National Intelligence Rich Grennel receiving statements from analysts within the agency, like Fred Flietz, indicating Brennan
concealed high-confidence intelligence product revealing Russia’s preference for Hillary Clinton are just agitprop as CNN would call it. And it could be that Grennel’s personal transfer of documents to the Justice Department regarding unmasking requests and other information relative to Spygate we’re not relevant and he simply went to get some exercise.
And I guess I should consider the possibility that twice in the last month John Durham has added more investigators and prosecutors to his team not because he’s found anything but because he’s tired of doing all the paperwork.
Geez, I was so hopeful someone was going to do something about the crimes of obstruction, illegal unmaskings of American citizens, evidence tampering, malicious prosecutions under color of law as well as the sedition committed by Obama’s intelligence agencies. I should have known better. I’m glad I read this thread so I could be disabused of all the notions that real progress was being made and go back to being angry and disgusted.
I agree with the author.
Of course you do.
Isn't it Beyond the Trees policy?
I would have followed up with, but we know what the facts are - it's all documented and made public, but they ran out of time so end of interview.
Y do you try bags. you are beyond the trees?
He's not in the business of writing reports. He's in the indictment business.
And business is good.
Don't be a Schlicter.
If Trump hadn’t blown his repeated nominations to AG, etc., and Chelsea hadn’t convinced Ivanka to have Ivanka’s Daddy lay off Chelsea’s Mommy early on, there could have been justice.
Remember how Trump invited Bill and Hill to his inaugural luncheon, then had them stand in honor as he toasted to their wonderfulness?
He may be a conservative. He may be a patriot. But he has given up and his only solution is the old, 'elect more Republicans' gambit. He is a 'surface thinker' and can't see beneath to what is happening. He is nothing more than what you people here beyond the trees are. He is nothing but background noise and static to the GREAT AWAKENING.
I had thought better of him. I had thought he may be the voice of a revitalized America.
I'll keep searching.
In the meantime, here's some below the surface thinking. See if you can do it.

I refuse to give up on my fellow patriots, which almost every single one of them is, other than the obvious embedded derps.
Though they and their downtrodden attitudes annoy and irritate me, they are on our side ultimately. They deserve a chance at the truth, no matter how much they resist.
I won't give up on them.
We need them. Trump needs them. America needs them.
And it's our job.
#WWG1WGA
Boy, do you come up with some doozies.
Talk about conspiracy theories.
“And it’s our job.”
I don’t know why it is, but you are right. It is all our jobs.

If no attempt to prosecute them occurrs, it will only embolden them to ever greater abuses of power. If each and all of the criminals involved in this fiasco are forced to expend their wealth to fight prosecution, even if they are exonerated, it will be a useful exercise in making examples of them. All it’s going to take is several of these rats to be looking at 30 years, and they’ll implicate their mothers.
