John Durham Is Getting Close to the Jugular
https://www.realclearpolitics.com ^ | November 8, 2021 | Charles Lipson - RCP Contributor

Last week, John Durham’s grand jury issued its third criminal indictment in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. The person who was arrested may be obscure; the news may have been buried after Virginia’s bombshell election results; but Durham’s move is a big deal. It shows that the special counsel’s probe is methodically unraveling a huge conspiracy, seemingly engineered by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and implicating James Comey’s FBI, either as a willing participant or as utterly incompetent boobs.

The latest indictment also damages the mainstream media, which is why so many news outlets have ignored or underplayed it. After all, they broadcast a false story for years and are none too eager to revisit it. Other losers are the prosecutors assembled by Robert Mueller, most of them Democrats, who had reams of this damaging information and ignored it.

What Durham and a few intrepid reporters are uncovering may well be the most ambitious dirty trick pulled in an American election and its aftermath. The question now is whether Durham can expose the full extent of this malfeasance and charge those who planned and executed it.

Durham’s latest indictment charges Igor Danchenko (pictured) with lying multiple times to the FBI. Danchenko, who worked at the Brookings Institution as a Russian expert, may not be a household name, but he was a crucial player in concocting the false story that Donald Trump was collaborating with the Kremlin to win the White House. The real conspiracy, it turns out, was aimed at Trump and was conducted by the Clinton campaign and her longtime associates. It was financed jointly by Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Some leaked emails suggested it was approved by the candidate herself.

Bill’s punishment for his sins is having Hillary as his wife. Hillary’s punishment is losing to Trump thinking she had it in the bag.

Does anyone care about the Clintons anymore? This seems to implicate Hillary (DUH!) more than anyone else.

The only way this will politically do anything is if Obama or some of his Cabinet are indicted and convicted. And...even if that happens, it won’t mean anything because the media won’t cover it.

I am looking forward to Seth Rich’s murder poking its head out of Durham’s probe, and Chuck Todd attempting to scream it away.

the most ambitious dirty trick

This was not a "dirty trick", it was criminal behavior (at a minimum) and should be treated as such.

John Durham is a red herring, the real criminals are in the White House..The Democrats are throwing Hillary to the wolfs as a decoy.

Durham is investigating a REAL crime. It happened. It was a conspiracy by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

But the indictments so far are not about committing that crime. They about lying about it. I will believe Durham is serious if and when we see indictments for the crime he is investigating not for just giving false testimony about it.

RE: The US is a failed state.

Time to start a new experiment.
////////////////////////////////////////
Sadly true.

Can I have permission to do some uncomfortable experiments on Dems?

I want to work on news media, election cheaters, Soros associates, Clinton associates and run the table of Dem and RINO traitors.

Just the mood I’m in after November, 2020. I accept that about myself.

Heard an interview yesterday with a Marine who was in the group of American hostages captured and held for 444 days by Iranians 42 years ago. All day and night tied wrists, arms and ankles to chairs. Terrible. He’s a Christian and doesn’t blame Jimmy Carter. To my knowledge there was no vengeance dished out.

Same for the stolen election in Nov., 2020 which ripped away the second term of President Trump.

Too many cutouts between the criminal activity and Her Royal Heinous.


Probably, but he is marching through the cutouts one by one.

John Durham Is Getting Close to the Jugular

Hopefully he actually reaches the jugular sometime in the next 20 years.

RE: For the jugular....

With his funny moustache and comically slow movement toward alleged justice, all this time I thought Durham was going for the jocular.

If a Clinton is indicted and the MSM refuses to cover it, was there really a crime?

In conspiracy cases you work the neighborhood first and work inward for the ripe fruit. In so doing you get the best case against the principals as often the lower lights will become cooperative in return for lighter sentences. I feel sure Durham has a garbage scow full by now. The final question will be the timing of the final indictments. The DOJ will do all he can to delay and dilute. But Durham is an independent special counsel and theoretically free from political pressure. We shall see!

You might notice that rather than being tangential, or covering up wrongdoing, several of these lies are *part* of the crime.

So you are only going to believe he is serious at the very end?

I guess to you the truth doesn’t matter. It’s “old news” to you.
