Was the Durham Report a distraction to cover up something even worse?

I have become increasingly skeptical of much of what is going on in our government. AT writers and readers inspire me to question everything.

Some recent events have caused me to pause and ask some questions about why now. When multiple "bad" items are reported in tandem, I am often left to ask: is this really the thing, or is it perhaps a distraction?

In the same timeframe during which the Durham report was released, we also saw a report released on the FBI FISA abuses. We are supposed to be happy that only 278,000 unauthorized (illegal) warrantless searches occurred in 2020 and accept that the FBI has resolved this situation.

Interesting...a system created to keep tabs on foreign threats is being used to illegally spy on American citizens at an alarming rate. And the most absurd item in the story is that we are to believe that the FBI has new processes in place that resolve this. I would not be surprised if we learn later that they redefined the definition of searches to cut down on the number of illegal searches (think redefining gain-of-function research to say we aren't funding it).

One separate comment about the FBI response: the Durham report specifically calls out the FBI for not needing new procedures for the abuses investigated, but the FBI needs better enforcement of existing procedures.  If there is ill intent, and I would say the evidence is that there were at least 278,000 instances of ill intent that we know of, then no procedural change made will make a difference.  Ill intent equals bad behavior almost every time if there are no consequences.

Why did this report and the Durham report drop at about the same time? Could there be something we are being distracted from?

“Years ago I posted the potential for the FISA ACT to do bad far outweighs its potential to do good. I opposed this from the beginning.”

Because...you know the old axiom is true....that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. However, the Commicrat Dems started out corrupt. They’ve just managed to polish and perfect their craft over the decades. Some of us have watched and witnessed their “progression”...two steps forward, one step back...since the 60s.

We knew that the Democrats cheated in elections. We’ve seen clear evidence of it...election after election after election. Yet, none have really attempted to stop it and most have refused to even acknowledge it. You have to ask yourself ‘why’? Even now...after the 2020 steal, nobody is really standing up and fighting back against the corruption. And I fear that we will reap the whirlwind for our past and present apathy.

“Barr’s biggest fear is Trump gets in there and puts someone in place that will spill the beans.”

No. Barr’s biggest fear is that Trump gets back in the WH and goes after his fat @ss for high treason, finally...and rightly so. That’s the biggest fear of all of the commie cabal currently in control. It’s what motivates them.

The Durham Report.

Kinda like releasing less than an hour of 14k hours of J6 video.
