Let me start by acknowledging the legitimate skepticism of many Gateway Pundit commentators that any justice will come out of John Durham’s work. You have been promised the moon in the past and instead received a flaming bag of dog poop. But let’s accept the fact that yesterday’s news that DNC lawyer Michael Sussmann was going to be indicted turned out to be true. Charlie Brown got to kick the football this time. So what does this mean? Is it a meaningless gesture or the first domino to fall in a line of dominoes? I think this is just the...

On Thursday we learned that the Durham probe, the investigation into the origins of the FBI's counter-intelligence probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election long touted by Donald Trump and his fellow conservatives as the investigation that would blow the lid off Democratic malfeasance, had got its man.

It was instead a cybersecurity lawyer named Michael Sussmann, who was indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI's general counsel about who he was working for. (Sussmann said he wasn't working on...

Later the CIA did inform the FBI about these two al Qaeda agents. There was debate in the FBI about whether a full-scale criminal investigation should be undertaken, or just a background intelligence investigation. The latter was chosen. A rookie was assigned to the case. Within days he was on their trail, and he wanted to run a credit card check. A FBI superior said it was a bad idea. According to Bob Woodward, the credit card check would have revealed that these two known al Qaeda agents had bought ten airline tickets dated 9/11/01 under their own real names.

A long-secret report, written 18 months before 9/11 by senior members of President Clinton’s national security team, concluded that U.S. intelligence were failing in their attempts to break al Qaeda, and warned that agencies were not structured or adequately funded to meet the threat posed by Osama bin Laden.U.S. counterterrorism policy, the team judged, required “immediate revision,” and laid out a series of recommendations – some “time-critical”– needed to stop future al Qaeda attacks on U.S. interests. By Sept. 11, 2001, though, key recommendations had still not been acted upon.The report, known as the Millennium Alert After Action Review (MAAR),...
