Once again, we see the conservative pundit class go bananas over the new motion filings from the Durham investigation in the last few days. Suddenly, everybody at Fox News is "expecting more indictments" at any moment! (How did that turn out for Sean Hannity and Dan Bongino the last time?) Suddenly, everybody is supposed to be excited that Durham�s crack team finally figured out spying activities against Donald Trump that occurred in July 2016.
This is a mistake.
The first question you should be asking yourself is why it took the Justice Department almost 6 years to figure out those spying activities.
Let me use the proper analogy here. It's like going back to your old ex-boyfriend who never treated you well because he called you once over the holidays. You know that it's going to end badly before you even call him back � but you're lonely and you can't help yourself. It�s a troubled and abusive relationship - the one between FBI Special Counsel John Durham and American voters who want justice for the Russia Hoax. I don't want to see you get your feelings hurt.
Let me explain why you're probably being played again.
In March of 2019, Nora Dannehy returned to the U.S. Attorney's Office to serve as Durham's top aide. She left a year later in August. What happened? According to press reports at the time, Dannehy had to resign from the Justice Department "at least partly out of concern that the investigative team is being pressed for political reasons to produce a report before its work is done, colleagues said." In case you missed the point, the Hartford Courant added helpfully: "Colleagues said Dannehy is not a supporter of President Trump and has been concerned in recent weeks by what she believed was pressure from Barr, who appointed Durham, to produce results before the election. They said she has been considering resigning for weeks, conflicted by loyalty to Durham and concern about politics."
A U.S. Attorney resigning due to politics is like a Navy captain resigning due to water. It's an absurd excuse. (Dannehy has since confirmed her liberal credentials by being named General Counsel to Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont (D). It looks like Dannehy signed up for an investigation that would do nothing, and then resigned publicly when the American public demanded an update on her activities. Needless to say, there was no reason for Durham to name someone like Dannehy to help investigate the origins of the Russia Hoax when everybody knows that the Russia Hoax leads back directly to Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Remember that Durham and Dannehy and the rest of the Justice Department sat around and did nothing about the Russia Hoax through most of the Trump Administration - an inexcusable lapse that should never be forgotten. Their boss, Attorney General Bill Barr, played a heavy hand in the stolen 2020 election - and it was to ignore election fraud. Getting rid of President Trump has been the overriding goal of the FBI and the CIA and the DOJ since 2016 - and Durham is an employee of the DOJ. He's not Clint Eastwood and the Lone Ranger rolled up into one superhero.
The bottom line: hiring Nora Dannehy should make you wonder about John Durham.
Why should it suddenly be exciting to people to hear, one more time, that Hillary Clinton (and Barack Obama) spied on Donald Trump's campaign? Didn�t we know this already? Haven't we known this for almost six years?
Ask yourself: why would it take Durham more than 3 years to file these indictments?
Why has Democrat super attorney Marc Elias not been indicted yet? Why was the Democrat snakepit law-firm Perkins Coie allowed enough time to sever itself from Marc Elias last year (on August 22) while Durham was going over their billing records before filing charges (on September 16) against Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussmann? Let me hazard a guess. It's probably because Elias is absolutely essential to Democrat efforts to stop election integrity laws in various swing states across America. In other words, he's too valuable to the Biden Administration to be indicted right now. Maybe after the midterms.
How about National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan - was his indictment lost in the mail too? Sullivan is up to his neck in the Russia Hoax, and he's easy to find over at the White House with those blank eyes and that terrible haircut. Why hasn�t the Biden Administration been deprived of his services yet? The answer is perfectly obvious: Sullivan and Elias are getting the kid glove treatment from the U.S. federal government.
Just look at the Kevin Clinesmith case. The sentence was a complete farce. Durham asked for a few months in prison (which is absurd) as punishment and got nothing but probation. How�s that for justice? Clinesmith pled guilty to a felony, but he's not even been disbarred in Washington DC.
That's what happens when you charge national security officials who conspire against the President with process crimes. This should tell you that Durham�s investigation is basically a sham. It took 3 years just to get to the lowest tier of conspirators. By the time Durham gets to the major players in the Russia Hoax, we will all be living through the second Hunter Biden Administration.
Durham and his team have the habit of filing indictments at the last possible moment - usually a day or two before the statute of limitations expires. What does that mean? It means that Durham is playing for time. That's why media reports that Durham is "about to release his report" always turn out to be false. That's why the charges that Durham brings against bad FBI lawyers are very narrow and involve light sentencing. He wants his investigation to run as long as possible. Why would he want to do that?
My own theory is simple: Durham exists so that the FBI can regain some credit with the American public ("hey, those Clinton people lied to us!") while directing the media narrative away from Obama. You already see this misdirection in the corporate media headlines this week: Hillary did it. Durham exists, in other words, as a kind of insurance policy against the ambitions of the Clintons. His real goal is keep his investigation afloat through 2024. That would explain his slow, slow, slow progress. If Hillary Clinton suddenly decides to run in a primary against Biden/Harris for the 2024 ticket, then Lady Macbeth and her old campaign staff (Sussmann, Elias, Sullivan and the rest of them) will find themselves in very hot water.
If you find it implausible that national security officials spend all their time interfering in domestic politics and rigging elections - all I can say is: what cave have you been hiding in for the last six years? Perhaps you should listen to Overstock's ex-CEO Patrick Byrne explain how he assisted the FBI in setting up Hillary Clinton to accept a $18 million bribe in 2016 - a bribe that Byrne claims was engineered by James Comey to help President Obama keep control of Hillary once she won the election. Apparently, the plan was for Hillary Clinton to be POTUS in 2016 and 2020 before Michelle Obama took over in 2024 - that's what Byrne was told "by four officials of three different flavors" from our three-letter agencies at the time.
It's an incredible story - and you simply have to watch Byrne explain "Operation Snow Globe" in detail (it starts at minute 24:30). It's probably the best explanation of what really goes on inside the Deep State that we can expect to hear from a participant. Even so, Byrne's story simply confirms what you already know in your gut about America in 2022. We don't just have fraudulent elections due to electronic voting machines - we have fraudulent elections because the entire system is rotten. The system understands that it has to pretend to clean itself up too - because the illusion of "the consent of the governed" is still required. That's why Durham is pretending that he will clean up the Russia Hoax mess - but are you dumb enough to believe it?
He's going too slowly and charging the perpetrators too lightly to be taken seriously. Durham isn't dispensing justice - it's more like the pantomime of justice. That much should be obvious to you - even if the rubes over at Fox News want to get you hooked on indictment dreams all over again.
From an internet engineer perspective, why just the DNS traffic? If you have a tap somewhere, why not just read the whole stream?
Is it because DNS traffic was until recently mostly unencrypted, or because it’s too hard to release anything else without giving up the whole game?

I think you’re right. Durham will release the truth — later. He’s one of them, and helping to run out the clock. One day after the Statute Of Limitations things out we’ll know EVERYTHING.

And Lucy has a football for you to kick.
It took so long because there is a statute of limitations on most crimes in the area of 5 or 6 years.
Today I am claiming Psalm 37 and Nahum 1
In God’s perfect timing, justice is swift and complete!
Press on!
Amen.
This sounds like the most well-reasoned analysis I’ve seen on the situation.
Durham is just running cover for fbidojcia and the klintoons.
Nothing of substance will come from these 'bombshell explosions' except hannity having an on screen orgasm and maybe some lowlife getting a 6 month suspended sentence.
Since I stopped watching almost all political cable news shows {except Gutfeld and sometimes the Five} my life has been much calmer.
I remember the day Adm Rogers paid Trump a visit.
“But but Durham looks so tough in that picture with his beard.”
I sure wouldn’t want him ‘probing’ me.
How about National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan -- was his indictment lost in the mail too?
Maybe Sullivan should be indicted. Maybe not. But the author of this piece should explain what exactly his crimes involved before spewing the same bullsh!t people like Sean Hannity and Dan Bongino spread on the air with boring regularity.
We heard the same crap about John Brennan and James Clapper. It turns out they were never indicted because what they were saying behind closed doors in the DOJ and the intelligence agencies was exactly the opposite of the nonsense they were peddling on MSNBC and CNN. They were never indicted for anything because the evidence indicated that they had cleared Trump of any wrongdoing long before he was inaugurated.
The entire political landscape in this country is built on lying con artists peddling bullsh!t to stupid TV viewers and internet keyboard warriors who hang on to every silly little narrative that fits their world views.
Emerald, why did you leave the GOP off that list?
I have a suspicion that the Trump campaign knew they were under surveillance, and they won the 2016 election by deliberately feeding misinformation to those who were conducting the surveillance.
It sounds outlandish, but it might explain some peculiarities from that election -- like why Hillary Clinton was campaigning in Texas late in the campaign, while she was very vulnerable in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
I pretty much agree with the article, unfortunately.
There were 14 criminal referrals that the House Judiciary Committee alone had queued up waiting for Durham when he was appointed. That’s not counting the ones from others such as in the Senate.

Yet not one of these has ben acted on. Instead, he’s been chasing this new rabbit down the hole that DNS lookups were used to instigate spying of Trump. Well that’s good to know, except the spying of Trump was already well underway by that time, due to the phony Steele dossier.
It’s possible that Durham’s scope has been limited in his charter to only “new” information that hadn’t been discussed by anyone prior to his appointment. If that’s true, he could already be close to running out of real estate.
There will be no “justice” that we do not FORCE. There is no “white knight” that will save us or the country. In fact we must force our control of our country. It’s not clean, its not nice, its not painless but it must happen.
I, for one, do not want to consider and moan over the fact that it took TOO LONG.
It took long and many, many people and reasons are responsible.
BUT I’M HAPPY IT IS FINALLY BEING EXPOSED AND CORRECTED AND I EXPECT ACCOUNTABILITY...FINALLY.
The thing that concerns me is the time it is taking to FIX the 2020 Election.
Making a lot of billable hours.
