EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Attorney John Durham is under pressure to wrap up his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe by the end of the summer, but if he doesn’t, he could wait to reveal his findings or initiate prosecutions until after the 2020 presidential election, Fox News has learned.

You keep blaming democrats, it’s the republicans that have been refusing to investigate any of the actions taken against Trump by the obumber admin, congress or the deep state. The repubs have been part of this from the beginning. In fact I would say they are the real perpetrators.

As they say, “You can indict a ham sandwich” but it can take 4 or 5 years and sometimes, right at the end, you just decide to totally give up and do nothing.

They need to indict someone, anyone—now.

Is that too much to ask?

<>"The fact that Trump, elected against the will of the government, is an almost powerless president - with little to no control over any part of the federal bureaucracy"<>

Sums it up well.

Amendment II is all that is left of our Bill of Rights.

Use it or lose everything.

This has all been just smoke and mirrors folks. There has never been any intent to indict the coup plotters.

No investigation takes this long when there is so much evidence out in the open. I've said it before and I will say it again now. A prosecutor fresh out of law school would have had a dozen people in prison by now and working on the second dozen.

We are being played to the point it's flat out embarrassing.

To hold off on prosecutions because of the elections seems criminal in itself. That would be a travesty to everything good and decent. how can we ever separate matters judicial from matters political???

“More and more I feel like if Trump loses the investigation disappears.”

Meanwhile the Supreme Court today opened the floodgates to any partisan state prosecutor going on a fishing expedition in the President’s personal papers. Such is the “rule of law” in the USA.

The election will end the day that Trump sends his taxes to the grand jury.

Durham has nothing. If there was a smoking gun, he would present the evidence and be done with it. If he is trying to “roll up” the little guys, he is wasting their times. The mafia has nothing on the Omerta of the ruling class of this country.

The election pretty much ended this morning. Mark the post. And come back to it in November.

Neither Trump, nor Biden will be our next President.

LOL. Yesterday we heard Labor Day for the first time and today it’s after the election. Incredibly, Barr is shaping up to be even more of a coupist than Sleepy Sessions. Sessions at least had recused. Barr has a hand in Durham’s coup enabling stunt.

If this is true Durham and his entire team of Democrats should be fired today. That is all.

Aha! You see, this is actually a 5D chess move by Trump!! Because after the election, he'll drop the hammer and can't be accused of interference beforehand!

Muhahaha. Muhahahaha! (Twirls handlebar mustache while holding a cloth bag full of cash with $ on the side of it)

I trust nobody in DOJ and that includes Barr.


They all hate POTUS inside Main DOJ. Barr has an impossible job without the support of the GOP Congress on his flanks. He knows it. The coupists know it. So all we get is run out the clock beltway theater.

Yeah Barr has been slowly prepping everyone about “after the election" for awhile now. During an interview in June, he said this:

“Barr made it clear that Durham will continue after November's election, although he noted that “what happens after the election may depend on who wins the election.”

EXACTLY.

The election ended this morning. Plan accordingly.

And the onslaught will look like 1976.

In 10 years, we will look at Trump the same way the Dems looked at Carter in ‘88.

I love his policies and I despise the left. I will NEVER cast a vote for one of them. But, we picked the wrong guy for the “experiment.”

Once they get into his taxes, we will hear:

1. He lied about how rich he is.
2. He lied about how much he makes.
3. He lied about his family business.
4. He lied about paying any taxes...

The list goes on.

Anyone who has done a tax return for more than $250k a year or who owns a business understands that all of those statements are pretty much a result of how messed up our tax system is—but that won’t matter.

Trump will have done nothing illegal. And probably only minimal things “wrong”. (Wrong is a shady term in tax law.)

It won’t matter. The ruling class in this country never wanted him in; they’ve fought and obstructed him every step. They will pull their necks in tight, limit their exposure, and start planning to run against whoever takes over for Biden.

I will state it again—just for the people wanting to call me a DU guy—I will vote for the Conservative/GOP candidate. I will NEVER vote for the liberals. I like Trump. But once they get their fingers on his taxes, he is done. Finished. Kaput.

What the money. The money knows....

The ongoing coup is now provably bipartisan in nature. Gowdy admitted the GOP controlled House knew in 2017 that the FBI was lying to Congress about FISAgate. And what did they do? Nothing.

This is Durham’s pushback against Sen. Grassley for publicly urging that Durham must act this summer. It remains to be seen if this is Durham’s bottom line or just a way to put a marker down that he will not be pushed into action for political reasons.
