Ex-Colleagues See Durham Dropping Bombshells Before Labor Day
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 08/06/2020 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 08/06/2020 4:45:52 PM PDT by Kevin in California

While much speculation inside the Beltway says U.S. Attorney John Durham will punt the results of his so-called Spygate investigation past the election to avoid charges of political interference, sources who have worked with Durham on past public corruption cases doubt he'll bend to political pressure — and they expect him to drop bombshells before Labor Day.

Durham’s boss, Attorney General Bill Barr, also pushed back on the notion his hand-picked investigator would defer action. Under Democratic questioning on Capitol Hill last week, he refused to rule out a pre-election release.

"Under oath, do you commit to not releasing any report by Mr. Durham before the November election?” Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-Fla.) asked Barr, citing longstanding Justice Department policy not to announce new developments in politically sensitive cases before an election.

If I knew “Their” email, I would write asking :”Stop, just STOP! Fewer people are paying any attention to this waiting game every hour. It’s gotten really old.”

It’s almost like the hook right before a news break. “Stay tuned for our advertisers, after which we’ll tell you something really cool.”

Sure thing. I’ll hold my breath. There is bound to be some harshly worded accusations tossed about.

I’ve always been fond of Sperry and hopefully he won’t be letting us down on this bit of news.

"That could well be of historic consequence, since his probe involves both the Trump administration and high-level officials in the previous administration, including Trump's presumptive Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden."

Biden won't be the Democrat(ic) rival come Labor Day

The nerve of that rotten little hag demanding Barr promise under oath NOT to do his sworn duty with Durham.

Bombshells, my ass. They’d better be planet-cracking nukes, or go home. No more sitting around and twiddling yourself while these sub-simian vermin dismantle America, family, and history. I’m getting close to a CW II mood.

I won’t hold my breath or place any bets.

But... this may be a very fun and interesting month. I’m almost giddy with excitement.

In a little over a week the DNC starts. We don’t know who the VP choice will be or even if the nominee will even be able to stay awake for it. The Dems have a weekend at Bernie candidate and it looks like they know it.

Antifa and BLM have overplayed their hands, their cheerleaders in the media are having trouble keeping it going.

If they try to ditch Biden and put in anyone other than Bernie Antifa and BLM will ratchet it back up and the Dems may be the target.

Add to that that Durham may drop a couple of indictments. Most likely some lower level operatives.

Add all of it together it looks like it’s shaping up to be a great show and the whole narrative the dems and media have been building up might go up like that fertilizer over in Beirut.

It may be wishful thinking, but this might be one of the best political months ever!

What bull. It was supposed to happen to save the midterms and here we are two years later, with nothing, again.

Please let me be wrong.

As far as I’m concerned, Barr and Durham should meet us good people part way. We refrain from vigilante justice so they can do their jobs. Not stall around until the coast is clear and the election is over.

All the coup conspiracy actions and the impeaching of an innocent man were political. Who’s kidding whom? NOW we have to daintily, tenderly be of so careful of the rotten Dems’ political futures? Screw them.

If Barr and Durham deliberately delay this justice then they will have it on their heads for the violent turmoil coming soon. Not us. We were willing to wait and wait and wait for them to bring the guilty to justice. Do it.

So now we have elevated politicians to an untouchable status even for criminal misdeeds because it might look like “political interference”? Hell, if I think that the politician I am thinking of voting for is a criminal and should be indicted and jailed, I want to know about it BEFORE the election.
