Former DNI Ratcliffe Expects More Indictments From Durham Probe
Newsmax ^ | 2-14-2022 | Charlie McCarthy

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said he believes that Justice Department special counsel John Durham's investigation will result in more indictments.

A filing from Durham on Friday said Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign paid a technology company to "infiltrate" Trump Tower servers, and later the White House. The purpose of the infiltration was to establish a "narrative" of collusion between then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russia.

Fox News sources said Durham had completed his investigation of the CIA's role in the origins of the Russian probe and had turned his attention to the FBI. The sources added that it was unlikely high-ranking officials, such as former FBI Director James Comey, would be charged.

Ratcliffe, however, said he would "be surprised" if the sources were correct about more indictments.

Durham's probe so far has resulted in three indictments – Russian analyst Igor Danchenko, considered the primary researcher of the Steele dossier; former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted to altering an email used to justify a government wiretap of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page; and former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, charged with lying to federal investigators.

"The intelligence that I’ve seen would reflect that there would be additional actions taken by John Durham," Ratcliffe told Fox News before reminding viewers that Comey had been forced to "walk back" assertions that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act process had not been abused.

"When I became DNI and saw more intelligence, I became more convinced that there were more incidents like that as it related to the 2016 campaign.

"I sat in a room last July with John Durham and with [then-]Attorney General [Bill] Barr. We looked at intelligence and we all unanimously agreed that there was a problem there with respect to the FBI.

He will have to try to get venue outside of DC, where the grand and trial juries reflect the population, and are all Democrat. If he alleges a conspiracy, venue is proper when any overt act took place.

It isn't just the FBI, John. Obama had 8 years to seed the government with Marxist trash, and I'm quite sure he took full advantage of those 8 years.

No confidence that this will not be swept away because the actions of Clinton and a host of others in the FBI, CIA, intel departs with other acronyms, along with possibly foreign government interference will be so heinous it could collapse everything.

Just ignore that lower level lawyers don't file with FISA courts to spy on Presidential candidates without their bosses knowing it.
As Ari Fleischer pointed out, there is no way the FBI went to the FISA courts to spy on Trump without Obama knowing.
There no way the FBI and DOJ did that for Hillary, without more than the Obama administration being in on it, too.

I get sick to my stomach knowing that these SOB's are going to get away with this. They're laughing in my face too.

Then what is the point? More low-level nobodies charged? Just declare us the USSA and be done with it.

There magazine rack at the supermarket checkout counter this morning had this. I nearly barfed on the conveyor belt...

I wonder if Time-Life expose how he corrupted the entire justice system in the USA, illegally targeted Donald Trump, fomented racial hatred for eight dreadful years, and pulls all the levers of power today with his puppet in office.

For me, the worst part is realizing from the day after the election onward, is the constant revelation of how bad it really is and how much I missed while watching it happen under Trump.

The Gateway Pundit showed the vote fraud in 2020 can be found by a high school level assignment in Excel. Just looking at timelines, frequency distirbutions and ratios. That's all it takes. Then you realize that by how it was covered up, how many at had to participate in it, aid it, ignored it, don't care about it, and chickened out dealing with it.

Then comes the realization of how much had to be going on while Obama was in office.
