Conservative Treehouse:
First, let me set the stage for new readers. No-one is more cynical of DC operations and manipulations than me. I do not sell nor promote ‘hope porn’, and I am not confident that anything is close to being revealed. Indeed, given the scale and scope of what took place in the last eight years, yes eight years; I have expressed doubts that anyone in government would ever actually expose it.
That said, in addition to my own cynicism I have been deep in this “spygate” or “Russiagate” rabbit hole; factually and physically inside the DC network; long enough to see the map of an investigative trail bringing up the rear.
During one great conversation a lawyer said to me: “All of this you know; all of this you have evidence for; but we don’t have the badges”. Thus began my 2020 effort, ultimately a successful effort, to drag the badges into the hole. That’s the background for an update with new information:
A very important article was written yesterday in the New Yorker [SEE HERE]. While the topic of the article spotlights the ridiculous conspiracy theory surrounding Alfa bank, and the insufferable nonsense about Trump Tower servers having contact -electronic touch signals- with servers from the Russian banking organization, there are aspects to the story that show where the Durham probe has been forced to travel.
Within the article –which everyone should read– some names are very important. The article is framed around defending the New Yorker’s previous reporting on the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory, so the intent of the article is defensive. However, the events being described in the article, and more importantly the people being outlined in the article, are accurate. Especially Daniel Jones and his lawyer William Taylor; and the connection of both to Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson.
According to the article there are two parallel efforts underway to untangle the background of how the false Alfa Bank story was originated. One effort is a set of civil lawsuits by the owners of Alfa bank against those who created the fraudulent story that flowed through Fusion GPS, into Chris Steele’s dossier, into the FBI, and ultimately into the Buzzfeed reporting therein. The owners of the bank are taking all of these entities into court and demanding discovery of sources who framed/created the false impression.
The second outlined effort is a set of subpoenas for some of the same names to appear before a grand jury being run by the John Durham probe. The witnesses are lawyered-up and attempting to avoid the grand jury subpoenas.
Part of the New Yorker story is constructed around wondering if the Alfa Bank team is working with the Durham team. That is a false narrative created for political deflection only. However, the article outlines factual evidence of the Durham grand jury; and by knowing what issues are being explored we can see -in advance- where this trail is going.
Good News Pause: John Durham has a grand jury impaneled and is issuing subpoenas. more here
I enjoy reading the CTH, plenty of detailed information and well researched. But usually I have to follow the winding word path of supporting details before I can clearly understand the points being made and conclusions arrived at. Probably should introduce the point prior to the supporting details.
Or just put in in comic book form for us ADHD readers.
Barr is a rat. He has protected the scummiest traitors in US history prior to an election in which they are running.
Lets just bring back the old ways of dealing with traitors and malcontents and be done with these so called “people”
ROPE
TAR
FEATHERS
MORE ROPE
Too damned late. Barr and Durham needed convictions to convince people who have been fed lies for the last five years about Trump and the Russians. The MSDM will never get the truth out to the voters who might change their minds about voting for Trump without indictments and convictions. That’s why they believe Flynn and Stone were criminals.
The Dementiacrats will shut things down on Inauguration Day. Osmidgen and Mooch will be at the White House along in two months celebrating getting their ugly portraits hung in places of honor. The Clintons, Obamas and Bidens and every traitorous bastard who helped overthrow President Trump will all be there unless the voters really aren’t as stupid as they seem to have become.
It was crucial that Barr’s so called investigators actually charged at least a few of these people so the press couldn’t ignore it any longer and the public could be informed before the election.
Now we’re going into an election with half the country ignorant of the facts.
Nobody will convince me that Barr didn’t have this as a goal.
Every defense lawyer knows one central fact: delay, delay, delay. It’s always in the defendant’s interest to delay a trial or a hearing. Witnesses move. Police officers die or get in legal trouble and lose their credibility. Delay. Delay. Delay. Put things off. In this case until the next Presidential election, when everything could change. They delayed charging Comey and McCabe, because they were building a stronger case. They have delayed things for over a year, because it was so complex. Too many people involved. One lousy guilty plea for altering a FISA warrant. Justice delayed is Justice denied.
I’m still going with: Barr says he is “stepping down” (the usual terminology) after the election to spend more time ___________.
Insert any BS story or excuse here. He’ll then be free to write that tell-all book, get a fat advance and hit the talk show and MSM circuit.
I for one can’t wait to see Fred Flintstone GTFO.
Ain’t much gonna be revealed unless somebody wants to risk hanging themselves with their bedsheet.
soros has his hand up barr, durham. wray asses – working their lips. they keep sucking clinton/grobama d**k
I believe that Trump has a vision for this country, and is well-inntioned, but, when I see how many swamp creatures he has put into power and they’ve done exactly squat, I have to question his vision. Barr, Durham, Q, etc. What have they accomplished? What will they accomplish? I’m willing to bet on squat.
Such a tangled web of lies. I hope the truth is revealed soon.
The slow walk by Barr appears to have worked as far as the election cycle is concerned. What a no good SOB he turned out to be!
The Senate Intel Committee is corrupt?.
This is my shocked face… 🤖
