Durham File: A documentary roadmap to special counsel probe of rogue FBI pursuit of Trump
justthenews.com ^ | 3/3/2021 | john Solomon

FBI clearly was warned Russia collusion was Clinton dirty trick, Steele dossier flawed — and persisted anyway

Freed from his double duty as Connecticut's chief federal prosecutor, Special Counsel John Durham is zeroing in on the final phase of his far-reaching investigation into whether FBI officials or others committed crimes while conducting the Russia collusion probe, such as misleading federal judges or Congress.

All expectations were that Durham would wrap up his probe with final indictments and/or a report last fall after a plea deal was reached with former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted he falsified a document submitted to substantiate an application for a surveillance warrant targeting the Trump campaign.

But FBI Director Chris Wray revealed Tuesday that the entire process — including the bureau's ability to discipline agents involved in the Russia case — was slowed down at Durham's request because of continuing concerns about potential criminality.

"Because we are cooperating fully with Mr. Durham's investigation, at his request we had slowed that process down to allow his criminal investigation to proceed," Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "So at the moment, that process is still underway in order to make sure we are being appropriately sensitive to the criminal investigation."

Wray's comments signaling additional crimes are being investigated are consistent with what former Attorney General William Barr said late last year when he upgraded Durham from a U.S. attorney to a special counsel and expanded his investigative staff.

White wash is all we are going to get.

No indictments.

That’s one possibility. The other is that Barr and Durham slow-walked the investigation in order to avoid hurting the Democrats, and now nothing will come of it.

Going rogue is the cover story.

” appropriately sensitive to the criminal investigation.”
Nonsense. Newspeak. When someone goes to jail, let me know.

John Solomon Tick Tocks John Durham for Another Six to Eight Weeks

March 7, 2021 | Sundance | 254 Comments

Independent journalist and suspiciously inaccurate Spygate predictor John Solomon appears on Fox Morning News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his ongoing Spygate storyline. After predicting for three years that indictments were coming, Solomon now says indictments over the next six to eight weeks are most likely; AS LONG AS the DOJ gives John Durham permission.

Timing is everything, he ran out the clock on Trump.

Low-level Clinesmith showed up with his lawyer and asked for a deal, shocking Durham’s girlfriend, whom he put in charge.

Clinesmith was let off.

The other indictment Durham has is a person on the ‘Net that threatened Adam Schiff.

Lawyers that have filed FOIA’s, say this isn’t a serious investigation.

Like Huber, Sessions, and Rosenstein - Durham is kept alive to clear people.

Well, that about wraps it up. The mystery is solved. We've caught all the bad guys and saved the day.

I think Durham had enough evidence to charge all of them far before the election. He did Tick Tock Run out the Clock.

Clibesmith’s crime came up during the Horowitz examination. Durham “found” NOTHING.

Just a few more weeks! Or months! Or years!

It has never been more obvious that justice delayed is justice denied.

Durham works for the Attorney General. There is no way AG Merrick Garland and the Biden administration will ever allow anything substantial to come out of this report. Although, I do appreciate John Solomon’s reporting.

“”Because we are cooperating fully with Mr. Durham’s investigation, at his request we had slowed that process down to allow his criminal investigation to proceed,” Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

Maybe one of my great-great-great grandchildren can shove a copy of Durham’s report on my grave so I’ll finally see what he came up with. Probably something to the effect that “mistakes were made, but nothing rising to the level of criminality.”

Why did Sessions and Rosenstein gleefully give every investigation to Horowitz?

Horowitz burned off a couple years, every time, and he’s a flaming liberal in a position created to protect the agencies.

This is the Lois Lerner defense. Stop a special prosecutor and wait years and years to quietly announce on a Friday afternoon, nothing there, closed.

More wrist slaps like for that arch-criminal who destroyed Carter Page’s life, Kevin Clinsesmith.

The FBI lawyer hasn’t even seen disciplinary action against his law license and the FISA judge let him skate without a single day in prison.

So yeah Durham, whatever.

The Uniparty (R) takes care of its own. Barr, Wray and Graham all Uniparty (R) superstars. All had the support of Trump while they successfully worked to destroy both Trump and MAGA. This is the GOP. A new party, a real second party, hell no, the GOP will take care of us. Watch out for the maniacs who are sick to death of being played for useful idiots by the GOP.
