Durham Sequel Goes Back to the Prequel
American Greatness ^ | 6/24/23 | Lloyd Billingsley

Posted on 06/25/2023 6:19:48 AM PDT by CFW

“I made it clear that neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden were in Durham’s crosshairs,” explains William Barr, the Attorney General who tapped John Durham to investigate the Russia collusion hoax against candidate and President Donald Trump.

In One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, Barr also praises Robert Mueller and deputy attorney general Rob Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller to investigate Trump. “Few can appreciate the complexities Rod faced during that tumultuous time,” writes Barr, “and even fewer will know the important contributions he made to the administration and the country.”

The allegedly heroic Rosenstein gets only a single mention in Durham’s recent report, and Rosenstein’s “important contributions” failed to emerge in Durham’s June 21 testimony. On the other hand, John Durham did not spare the FBI.

The bureau, he testified, failed to “sufficiently scrutinize” collusion claims, did not “apply the same standards” to the Clinton and Trump campaigns, and was too willing to use “politically funded and uncorroborated opposition research, such as the Steele dossier.” This continued even after intelligence briefings “suggesting that there was a Clinton campaign plan underway to stir up a scandal tying Trump to Russia.”

And that sentence from Barr shows why, from the beginning, Durham's investigation was never going to result in anything more than "mistakes were made" and "I've been assured it will not happen again".

The problem is he didn’t fix it. He swept it under the rug. That’s why we have the other get “Trump” events. That’s why Hunter Biden gets a misdemeanor. That’s why someone who used high office for bribery is President.

Bill Barr is 100% responsible for all that. He didn’t protect the people, he protected government.

One still maintains that John Durham does not even exist.

That dude who showed up in Congress is just an actor. The same guy who did the voice-overs for the radio PSAs for The Jab and more recently for "American Action Network" telling us all what a grand victory Kevin McCarthy's debt limit agreement with Joe/0bama was.

That's who John Durham is. Prove me wrong. :)

Barr’s real job is the world’s oldest profession. It is all about book advances and sales: “One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General”

I would argue that Durham was bolder than Ken Starr.

Free Republic was built upon documenting and archiving the crimes of the Clinton crime family.

I will NEVER forget seeing a photo released from ABC News of Vince Foster’s body and the soles of his shoes.

They were leather soles and they looked brand new.

No one could have walked to where Foster’s body was found in Fort Macy Park with new leather soles and have them unscratched.

There is much talk about the Republican wing of the Uniparty selling out to the Red Chinese.

This forum documented the payments Slick Willie got through Johnny Huang.

Starr did NOTHING, the church lady was too fixated on what went on in the Oral Office and was documented by an Israeli agent named Monica Lewinsky.

Huang was charged with one count and did no time.

I am not trying to defend Durham.

But he did tell a bit of truth and LIVED to tell about it.

I would argue that Starr did a better Deep State clean up job than Durham.

Nailed it! The swamp protects its own.

The DOJ is America’s KGB, in that the KGB’s job was to police and protect the ruling party and protect the central government from all unexpected shocks - usually from inside itself

Bill Barr is 100% insider/KGB. The fraud of Russia-gate was already in the open. His and Durham’s job was to attempt to restore the KGB’s legitimacy by admitting some mistakes, move it back from the corrupt, crazy, leftist fringe, and telling America the agency can still control itself.

Don’t expect justice.

They’re all just “the mob”. The true version of “the mob”. And they have infiltrated all levels of government agencies. They nearly had a seat in SCOTUS (if they don’t already). This is all an extortion and influence-peddling racket where we are meant to think they give two sh*** about us. They’re all rich crooks.

Yes, after reading that one sentence, I couldn’t read any more.

I only watched a little bit of Durham before Congress this week; It was Darrell Issa practically groveling to Durham that he did the best he could, etc., instead of wondering why there were no prosecutions or indictments. What a barf fest that was.

These RINOs are so spineless. Plus the fact that they can’t stick together to get so many important bills passed is really disgusting 🤮

With what is now out in the open, Barr and his pals Rosenstein and Mueller, all men of GREAT judgement, wisdom, character, and experience, have to belong to one of the following categories:

1) Criminal traitors to the Constitution who were IN ON the Hillary Clinton plot to destroy Trump;

2) Morons who were totally duped by the Hillary Clinton cabal inside the DoJ and FBI, and made into helpful fools;

3) Weak-minded children who took the path of least resistance (letting the Hillary Clinton cabal run amok) by placing “protecting the instititions” (DoJ and FBI) above truth or justice or democracy or the US Constitution. This involved a major load of moral relativism (Orange Man Bad, so let’s save the country by violating all its values).

At minimum these scuzzballs failed to shoulder sacred responsibility. When the nation needed giants, they were elves.

“I made it clear that neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden were in Durham’s crosshairs,”

In other words: I knew from the beginning this was a Treasonous Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow the United States Presidency, but they were all my friends, so I did everything I could to make sure they got away with it.

Thanks for that nostalgic trip down the FR history.

The real story is that the 2016 election was rigged, but they didn’t expect Trump to win in a landslide. Don’t you wonder why Hillary didn’t demand recounts or investigation?? Because she was afraid her own cheating would be uncovered. Trump was never supposed to be allowed to win! He was never allowed a peaceful transition of power because DOJ was undermining everything he tried to do!

There was a recount in Detroit.

Jill Stein, Green Party candidate raised some money to have a recount.

Hillary had more votes in Detroit than there were registered voters.

That ended that.

I am not sure if it were before or after the recount but James Carville claimed that Putin backed Stein to dilute the vote.

Russia, Russia, Russia, they have been singing that tune ever since Trump won.
