This might be the most important outline to understand this whole sordid mess…
During the Friday testimony of witnesses put on the stand by Special Counsel John Durham, there were two key witnesses, FBI Analyst Brittany Hertzog and FBI Special Agent Amy Anderson. Both witnesses testified they were part of the Mueller investigative team with a primary mission to investigate the claims in/around the Christopher Steele dossier. [See Technofog Substack for transcript excerpts HERE]
The testimony of FBI agent Anderson and FBI analyst Hertzog (about their role in the Mueller probe) leads to one inescapable conclusion, Robert Mueller lied to congress when he testified the special counsel did not investigate Chris Steele, the Steele Dossier, Fusion GPS and/or Glenn Simpson. Mueller claimed it was “outside my purview.”
While Anderson and Hertzog are tied to the case against Igor Danchenko, it appears the primary purpose of their being called as witnesses in the trial is not about Danchenko. It appears John Durham presented them for testimony to ‘gently‘ and ‘diplomatically‘ expose the corrupt intent of the two-year Robert Mueller investigation. However, before getting all excited about Durham exposing Mueller be aware: There’s an outrage trap in here!
To fully comprehend the dynamic, we first need a background context, then a review of the witness statements, then an understanding of the outrage trap.
(1) Background Context:
AFTER originally interviewing Danchenko in January and February 2017, in March the DOJ/FBI then reinterviewed him before refiling the second FISA renewal in April. With Danchenko on their payroll they FBI did not need to worry about him undermining the Trump-Russia narrative or speaking the truth about the dossier. This approach protected the fraudulently obtained title-1 surveillance warrant. The surveillance warrant was renewed in April.
AFTER Robert Mueller is appointed special counsel in May 2017, with Danchenko on the FBI payroll and under control. When Danchenko is interviewed on June 15, 2017, he is being interviewed as part of the Mueller operation. Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann now submit the FISA application for another renewal on June 29, 2017. The fraudulently obtained title-1 surveillance warrant was again renewed.
The reason to keep Danchenko on the FBI payroll is to mitigate any risk he might present if he were to speak. A corrupt FBI network in Washington DC put a control mechanism over Danchenko in order to preserve their surveillance warrant, which was built upon fraud by using the Steele Dossier. They renewed the surveillance warrant twice more (April and June) while Danchenko was a paid ($200,000+) confidential human source.
As you can see from the Durham case against Igor Danchenko, a controlled Danchenko was then handed-off to the Mueller probe, who kept Danchenko on the FBI payroll throughout the Robert Mueller investigation (ended in April 2019) until October 2020 when Danchenko was dropped by the FBI and John Durham “officially” took over and was appointed special counsel.
Dates are important – On July 24, 2019, when Robert Mueller is in front of congress, answering questions about Chris Steele, the dossier and the Steele sources therein, Mueller was able to deflect and dodge answering questions about it because AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019. AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019, immediately following Robert Mueller’s completed investigation, April 2019, for this exact reason.
(2) The Hertzog and Anderson Testimony: [H/T Technofog]
Hertzog was with the FBI from 2008 through 2019 as an intelligence analyst with a primary focus on Russian counterintelligence. She described her role as an analyst who “looks at information and tries to identify trends, patterns, and investigative next steps.” She was assigned to the Directorate of Intelligence at FBI Headquarters.
Hertzog was assigned to Special Counsel Mueller’s Office in July 2017. She described her role and chain of command with the Mueller Team:
Q And what, generally, was your role with the Special Counsel Mueller’s team?
A I was primarily initially to focus on looking into reports that the FBI had received on Russian matters.
Q All right. Did those reports have a particular name?
A We referred to them typically as the Steele dossier.
Q Now, as a member of Special Counsel Mueller’s team, was there a chain of command?
A Yes.
Q Can you describe the chain of command that you worked with?
A I reported directly to SIA Brian Auten. Above him was Special Counsel Mueller. There were horizontal chains of reporting as well. So there was an attorney, a supervisory special agent, and then head of FBI personnel.
Q Okay. So you had occasion to work with special agents as well, correct?
A Correct.
Q And who were some of the special agents that you worked with Special Counsel Mueller?
A I worked with Supervisory Special Agent Amy Anderson and Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
Hertzog became familiar with the Steele Dossier, and with the parties involved in the Steele Dossier, once she joined the Mueller Team:
Q And how did you become familiar with Mr. Steele?
A When I reported [July 2017] to the Special Counsel’s Office, SCO, I had received background information on the investigation up until that point.
It was her job to “look into the Steele Dossier.” She described this as “trying to identify the sourcing for the claims in the dossier and, specifically, the national security threat with regards to the Russian influence piece.” Hertzog explains:
Q And a lot of names appeared in those dossier reports?
A Correct.
Q Did you learn that there were a number of different sources that the defendant relied on?
A Yes.
Q Did you have a particular focus on any of those sources?
A There were a number of sub-sources that were identified for investigative next steps.
Q Okay. And did you have a particular individual that you focused on?
A Yes. There was an individual named Olga Galkina who was — when I was assigned to SCO, was my primary focus initially.
Compare Hertzog’s testimony to the words of Robert Mueller:
Agent Amy Anderson, who works in the field of counterintelligence, was part of the Crossfire Hurricane/Mueller Team from April 2017 through January of 2018. Her initial assignment was “to attempt to validate the Steele Dossier,” to “either verify the reporting or determine that it was not accurate.”
Anderson described her role and supervisors with Special Counsel Mueller:
Q What was your initial — who were you initially working with in that role at the Special Counsel’s investigation?
A When I first arrived at the Special Counsel, I worked with Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten, as well as quite a few other intelligence analysts, Stephanie LaParre, Iva Drasinover. We had a team that was working the dossier in particular.
Q Did you work with someone by the name of Brittany Hertzog?
A I worked with Brittany a little bit later. She came in not at the very beginning but maybe a month after, a month or two.
Q And in terms of who you reported to at the Special Counsel’s office, if you could, just tell us who you reported to.
A Technically, I reported to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
Essentially, agent Anderson, together with analyst Hertzog, did deep investigative work into the Dossier, Igor Danchenko and his relationship with Charles Dolan. FBI agent Amy Anderson then compiled a report outlining the fraud within the dossier and the political relationships with the people who assembled it. Anderson then passed that report up the chain of command in the Mueller investigation to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson who buried it and did nothing.
So, we can easily see that Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissman, the special counsel team, did in fact spend a great deal of time and resources investigating the background of the Steele Dossier, including interviewing Christopher Steele himself, and all the claims within the dossier to include investigations of Danchenko and Dolan and other participants.
As a result of the FBI witness testimony, everyone can easily say that Robert Mueller mislead or lied to congress during his July 24, 2019, testimony. However, there’s an outrage trap in here, and John Durham certainly has to know it.
(3) The Outrage Trap:
Listen carefully to the testimony of Rober Mueller on July 24, 2019, best encapsulated within these two specific rounds of questioning. As noted by PBS, “Mueller, who led an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible ties to President Donald Trump’s campaign, declined to answer questions regarding how the probe began or whether the so-called Steele dossier was a contributing factor.” WATCH:
.
Robert Mueller also claimed not to know who Fusion GPS was, or what role Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, played in the assembly of the Steele Dossier.
.
Robert Mueller is in front of congress in July 2019, answering questions about Chris Steele, the dossier and the Steele sources therein. Mueller was able to deflect and dodge answering questions about it because AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019.
When Robert Mueller is saying there’s another group in the DOJ looking specifically at the Chris Steele, Dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson aspect to the fraudulent 2016/2017 claims about Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election, he is talking about the John Durham investigation.
Mueller is citing Durham as the reason why his purview, and subsequent report as released, did not include the Steele dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson information.
Mueller is saying that stuff is the responsibility of “the other internal investigative unit,” ie. John Durham.
When you stand back and remind yourself of the Bill Barr statements and affirmations about the ‘integrity’ and ‘honor’ of Robert Mueller, one can only accept that AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019, immediately following Robert Mueller’s completed investigation, April 2019, so that Mueller would have a shield for why the origin of the Trump-Russia is outside his purview.
This is how they use silos as weapons and shields. Not in my purview is the same as not in my silo.
Mueller was citing Durham as the reason his team did not expand their probe to fully investigate Chris Steele et al. Mueller’s special counsel has an escape hatch for why they did nothing with their own investigative findings…. That was John Durham’s job. This is the outrage trap.
AG Bill Barr established John Durham’s probe (silo) so that Robert Mueller’s probe (silo) would have cover.
If John Durham’s investigative inquiry did not exist prior to that July 2019 testimony by Robert Mueller, then Mueller would have lied to congress.
AG Bill Barr put Durham into place, essentially constructed another silo, to protect his ‘good friend’ Robert Mueller….
….The DC two-step is achieved.
I have to disagree with Sundance re: Durham appt. The Durham appt had nothing to do with the Mueller report. It was released in April, but probably written months before this.
“Mueller is citing Durham as the reason why his purview, and subsequent report as released, did not include the Steele dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson information.
Mueller is saying that stuff is the responsibility of “the other internal investigative unit,” ie. John Durham.”
Pretty prescient of Mueller to leave all that stuff out of a report he submitted in late March/April to know Durham would be appointed in May.
“When you stand back and remind yourself of the Bill Barr statements and affirmations about the ‘integrity’ and ‘honor’ of Robert Mueller, one can only accept that AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019, immediately following Robert Mueller’s completed investigation, April 2019, so that Mueller would have a shield for why the origin of the Trump-Russia is outside his purview.”
Mueller is dodging these issues because of ongoing Horowitz investigation into the opening of Crossfire Hurricane that wasn’t completed until Dec 2019
If anything, Durham was meant to prevent any in depth Congressional investigations into Crossfire Hurricane until the statute of limitations expired. It was more of an extension of the true purpose of Mueller.
Barr had to provide Mueller an off ramp after 2 failed yrs of trying to create a Weissmann Obstruction special, but there was still a need to keep Trump from releasing the FBI files and hiding the truth
Might add that Gonna Graham was waiting until Mueller finished to “get to the bottom” of Russiagate.
When Mueller finished, GG then switched to waiting until Horowitz finished.
As an aside, I don’t think enough attention has ever been given Graham taking over the Judiciary Committee in 2019. That was very strange, especially in light of the fact Grassley will take the Chair back when the Senate flips next yr. I don’t remember any explanation ever offered
It’s almost like McConnell didn’t want a real investigator chairing that committee after Mueller was finished
They are all in on it. Every Dung Beetle in the Dung Heap on the Potomac was in on it. McConnell, Barr, Sessions, Paul Ryan, all the criminals infested inside the DoJ and FBI. There is no clean Agency in all of Government.
They are all in on it
Yep
Mission 1 was to run Trump outta town
— and ensure that “his kind never rise again”
But why so much hatred? The reason is always unsaid and uncommented on. These two political parties, neither of which are a part of our organization of government under the constitution, nor are they protected or given powers under that document, are apparently so corrupt that they can not stand an independent scruntiny of their present and past actions. It’s glaringly obvious to the observer. I would say now that an auditor or accountant performing a look in to the finances would be able to define the facts of the malfeasance but of course one of our country’s most visible accountants mr Ryan has risen high in government then promptly retired to support the apparatus without revelations, so that avenue has not been open to us. Still the revelation would show the criminals for what they are and were and all the obscure crimes are found out by an audit. Too bad there are no honest auditors around.
Generally, American nationalism and no new forever wars cuts into all the fraud skimming that these ass hats feel they deserve. Trump tossed the “presidents are selected” apple cart, and his policies eliminated a lot of the graft (modeled like Ukraine aid).
So you have those in the inner circle that have treasonous risk, plus those just outside that wan to get rich while positioning into the power elite inner circle.
Country is lost. I kind of hope the Dem’s steal a dozen senate seats next month so we can just burn it down. I really don’t know how you fix it unless you just cut the executive branch by 90%.
Our government is a criminal cartel. Both parties. All of this theater is meant to offer the pretense of an honest accounting.
Don’t forget JUDASpence and the bushCARTEL.
Anyone who watched the Barr/rosenstein press conference would totally disagree. Barr stepped in to close down an ineffective operation that was doing more harm than good. That would include what was or was not in the mueller report.
Yes, as I said, Barr gave Mueller an off ramp
And the Durham appt was part of that off ramp. He will cover everyone including danchenko. It is part of the controlled outrage. Or as the Clinton’s called it -the slow drip of information.
It’s the same tactics the politicians/bureaucracy has used for over 20 f’n years…akin to a strongly worded letter.
We need to remember Durham did the same cover up for the CIA torture investigation. Years long, not a single indictment. Same play book.
Barr hates Trump and was always a Dem supporter.
Barr is a uniparty snake. Party doesn’t matter.
@Bitterc, Bill Barr came in on Feb 14, 2019.
Bill Barr received the Mueller report weeks before it was public. There was great media controversy over the delay by Bill Barr in making the report public. Barr required several elements be removed and/or redacted from the public version. You might remember….
If Bill Barr wanted to protect Robert Mueller from the absence of a critical investigative element in the report (Steele Dossier), and simultaneously delay any declassification effort by President Trump, how could he do it?
Appoint…. John Durham.
See how that works?
And, now, we have the ongoing “Trump Classified/Declassified Document” investigation to further pollute the waters and keep the truth from surfacing.
It seems that two forms of pardons are possible. The first of course is the presidential pardon, and the second comes more covertly with the appointment of a cooperative prosecutor and judge along with a jury pool favoring the defendant. Both methods could end with the same result. The second method is shown to us in the following movie. In this movie, the Judge is finally identified and prosecuted. Who will find justice for the American people?
Suspect
All trials, and prosecutions should NEVER be within 300 miles of DC, AND, and if there are a series of trials, no more than one trial in any State.
I would argue all executive branch departments should not be located within 300 miles of DC in addition to your requirement. Make them use channels we can spy on to do their dirty deeds. And thus your court requirements would be req’d due to location of the perps when committing crimes.
And eliminate 90% of the damn executive branch.
Sundance was talking about clearing Mueller about the Steele Dossier for his testimony to Congress and any subsequent inquiries by installing Durham in May 2019. By the time any outrage would build up at the time Mueller’s probing of Steele and the other Hillary contractors behind the dossier, his lies to Congress about his “purview” would be down the memory hole:
Robert Mueller is in front of congress in July 2019, answering questions about Chris Steele, the dossier and the Steele sources therein, Mueller was able to deflect and dodge answering questions about it because AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019.
… and Mueller was clearly part-senile in Congressional hearings
I don’t know exactly when, but I recall watching on the TEEvee
and thinking “This guy’s not ‘in charge’ of ANYTHING”
— even his own faculties
He was a figurehead
Weissman and his boys were running the show down in the boiler room
“… and Mueller was clearly part-senile in Congressional hearings”
“This guy’s not ‘in charge’ of ANYTHING”
So we now see the new play in the deep state play book… first Mueller, then Biden. Is Kamala next?
Fetterneck?
Mueller was also able to dodge because of Horowitz. Just sayin. Mueller already had an excuse before Durham was appointed.
When I hear Sundance refer to the outrage trap, I always think of Horowitz. He rights the reports that allows Congress off the hook b/c they have hearings and scream in outrage. Then the lights go down, all the players have a laugh and pat each other on the back, then they go out for dinner together.
Muller-Durham cannot be viewed in a vacuum. All this followed because James Comey refused to indict Hillary Clinton when she destroyed her cell phones and emails from her days as Sec.of State under Obama.
So … Durham is nothing more than a “handler”- protector – for the FBI criminals … just like Jamie Gorelick was/is the handler for the Clinton’s and all their crimes.
When you add to this analysis the fact that the judges of the FISA court had more than enough information before them to question at the very least the three renewals of the original Carter Page Title I FISA application, the fix truly was in. Chief Judge Collyer knew that the Trump campaign had been the subject of illegal domestic electronic surveillance during the 2016 campaign. How do we know this? The opinion she authored in response to Admiral Rogers’ audit of the 702 searches conducted by the still unidentified FBI contractors in the middle of the primaries concluded categorically that 85 percent of the 702 searches were not authorized by FISA, i.e., illegal. Although she never identified the domestic targets of this surveillance, and the identities of the contractors remain redacted to this very day, the fact that Admiral Rogers met with President-Elect Trump shortly after the election and the Trump transition team moved out of Trump Tower the very next day, strongly suggests, as does the retributive reaction of the DNI and SecDef, that Candidate Trump, his campaign and his family were at least some of the targets during the Republican presidential primary. Had they not been, there would have been a timely leak to the NY Times or WaPo when the redacted version of Collyer’s opinion was released by Trump DNI Coats. And no such leak has occurred at any time since, although it would have helped with the DOJ-NSD narrative on numerous occasions. It would not surprise me if an unredacted copy of Collyer’s opinion is one of the documents the Biden DOJ is frantically trying to keep from the public with the Mar-A-Lago raid.
Back to the point at hand, Collyer’s UNREDACTED opinion represents institutional knowledge attributable to each and every district judge appointed to the FISA court, including those FISA judges who signed off on the three Carter Page renewals. And by the time of those renewals– and clearly with regard to the last two, since sought by Mueller, who was asking to electronically surveil the Trump campaign and transition team, and was reported to be doing so by the media–not one of those judges did not know that the renewal sought implicated the Rogers audit and the illegal surveillance documented by Chief Judge Collyer. Nevertheless, not one of the judges who approved the renewals appears to have asked to clarification or further evidence justifying the renewals under such questionable circumstances. They all just went along with the representations of the DOJ-NSD and FBI counterintelligence, despite the fact that the ex parte nature of the adjudication absolutely required them to question the bona fides of those presenting the renewal. Pathetic.
And not one of those judges has called even a single one of those who lied to them to account. Judge Boasberg’s sentencing of Kevin Clinesmith to 12 months probation and no prison time was a joke. Again, the fix was in.
You will never be able to get rid of the federal courts of the District of Columbia, but you can pass a law that would allow any defendant in a federal case with DC as its venue to move the prosecution to another venue. That’s the only way you will ever hold Democrats and the bureaucrats who support them to account.
I would like the Julian Assonge persacution to be moved away from Virginia, the homebase of the intelligence agencies and the conflicted jury pool those agencies provide, (present/past employees of the Intel community and their families.)
Present/past employees of the Intel community and their families should absolutely be excluded from serving as a juror.
I also believe it to be Paramount that the exclusion from service should include the corrupt “Judges” that are currently seated in positions of oversight of the very same agencies that are now claiming harm from the constitutionaly protected publishing of the evidence of crimes committed by the same government agencies that framed and jailed an innocent filmmaker so that they could cover up their illegal activities in bengazi.
I’ve long suspected that the FISA courts were not-so-much duped, but complicit.
You’ve just supported my suspicions very well.
THE WHOLE DAMN THING is corrupt to the core.
There isn’t anyone in Wash DC (the District of Criminals) that isn’t somehow corrupted.
Remember Trump started to move agencies out of DC. Another reason they had to get rid of him. Get out and vote in November.
OVERWHELM THE CHEAT!
Vote on Election Day.
Do not wary vote.
Do not absentee vote.
all good points, and it reminds me of Bongino’s reportage starting with Episode 628. One thing that has gone too un remarked upon is why Comey isn’t turning on a spit over a bed of coals for his role, specifically having signed off on at least one FISA application in 2016 and then reporting to Trump in 2017 (and by doing so making the Dossier newsworthy despite it having been circulating around DC for months and no one would run with the story because no one could verify the contents of the Dossier)….and then reporting to Trump that the Dossier was salacious and unverified. He admitted to have used and unverified document to apply for a FISA warrant…….
Government documents, even if they are wholly implausible, complete fabrications, are given a pass by the Courts. Therein are the seeds of corruption.
And just where has Admiral Rogers gone? Where is his testimony?
All of them deserve to rot in prison on 1/8th daily rations. But, it won’t happen. You know it. I know it. They know it. A dumbass will be sacrificed and the rest will live on federal pensions for the rest of their lives.
No dumbass ,smart ass, or any other kind of ass will be sacrificed if they are connected to the federal swamp.
Scumbags all of them. They all need to rot in jail for what was perpetrated on President Trump and WE the People that support him. Not holding my breath.
There’s rot in every corner of all the investigations of Trump. Forget about the politicians and justice system being alone in all of this…To undo it all, thousands upon thousands of people would have to resign or be fired and/or proscecuted…I’m talking public servants that made it their daily job to put roadblocks in front of him…This will never happen without a total collapse of gov’t. and a rebuild of the system…The public service is a Democrat party institution that enforces democrat party rule…The system is broken beyond repair.
I can’t buy the excuse. Mueller’s “purview” as outlined by Rosenstein was pretty much anything connected to Russia that Mueller saw fit to probe.
Paul Manafort’s financial crimes certainly weren’t in Mueller’s purview but Mueller had no problem charging those.
Sorry, not seeing how any of this absolves the FBI – or Weissmann – from moving ahead with the June 2017 FISA renewal. By then they knew it was based on bad information. The fact that they put Danchenko on the payroll doesn’t change anything.
John Durham …….
Man of the hour? ….
or Dunce of the courtroom? ….
To be or not to be ……
A patriot true to the American Constitution?
Or not?
That is the question to you John-Boy.
Give us your splendid soliloquy as you expose all of the coup plotters who have been involved in the 2020 fraudulent election….. after all, that was the end game for the democrat / GOPe / media criminal coup gang.
A stolen presidential election, on your watch? Not a way to end your law and order career.
Expose all or sulk away in shame.
100,000,000+ MAGAs await the truth from you.
A small democrat / GOPe gang of treasonous thugs fear the same.
Make all patriotic Americans proud.
You aren’t going to be afraid of a small gang of treasonous law breaking thugs, not you.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
Don’t be an idiot. All these players and their corruption have already been exposed. Our country is lawless. No one will be held accountable regardless of what Durham concedes —one way or the other.
Thanks for your comments Lorrie Girten,
You certainly have your doubts.
Lawlessness is rampant in dc and the blue states
Thomas is in charge of a squad of serious doubters. He is always accepting new members.
Not interested in that? Do you want to help MAGA? As your resources allow, support the President Trump endorsed candidates and your local republican ticket.
Finally, this is just a suggestion, the article linked to below is good.
Using an analogy, it explains why the democrat / GOPe criminal gang lost The Decisive Battle and the war over 19 months ago.
“Let’s go Brandon!”

You, Sundance, are Brilliant. I dearly appreciate your analysis and that you share it with all.
I am angry about what happened, but still happy to at least have the facts.
God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Q: So what kind of chance does PresTrump have with sharks like this in the water?
Slim
— and None
I reckon
PresTrump has experience swimming with sharks and wit to match (nearly) but likely not with sharks and nation-betrayers of this highest order
To quote an Ian Dury song:
“There ain’t half been some clever bastards“
I agree with Sundance on the outrage trap view. I think Durham presented the testimony of FBI agent Anderson and FBI analyst Hertzog only to attempt to prove the element of the indictment that Danchenko’s lies materially affected the course of the Crossfire Hurricane/Mueller FBI/DOJ investigation. Given that the Judge has dismissed the indictment count relating to the Dolan – Danchenko interaction, and because the testimony from FBI agents Auten and Helson was so favorable to Danchenko that Durham was forced to attempt to impeach their testimony before the jury, I don’t expect a conviction in this case either.
Suspect
Okay we’ve exposed the process whereby bureaucrats lie, but do we understand the lie itself?
Obviously not since Joe Biden was installed as president under a cloud of suspicion.
The American People sniffed out this fraud, just like they smelled rotting fish with the 2020 elections.
The Deep State didn’t care they insist the Lie is the truth, so move along folks there is nothing to see here.
Ignore the man behind the curtain.
Durham might be exposing it but the major media is not covering it, so the victims of their lies remain clueless.
aka soft disclosure
yes, we did it
so what
in your face
Folks…we have a tyrannical government! More and more awakened Americans are coming to that conclusion…thats why we have the second amendment. Our forefathers knew and had experienced what we are going through and seeing now. Hopefully, there is another way…but freedom, is not free and there very well may come that time.
The timeline of the Durham appointment and Baker’s demotion at the FBI are concurrent indicating that the criminal investigation under seal post indictment is what Baker’s attorney Levin was referring to. Coincidentally, in May of 2018 Baker was formally indicted under seal and coincidentally Robert Bauer, a partner at Perkins Coie and the lawyer who PAID Crowdstrike and Fusion GPS was also fired/ resigned. These events happened days apart. Who is Bauer? The former managing partner of Perkins Coie and lead on DNC, Hillary Clinton and Obama accounts at Perkins Coie. Bauer was also Obama’s White House Counsel.
Dates are important… 2018. Durham was
already working on the Russia investigation. He was appointed by Whitaker.
The “Mueller lie to Congress“ is meant to be a red herring: create outrage that will attract attention for a period of time that will become the most focused upon issue of the trial which will dwarf All the other serious issues. Then the outrage is easily deflated by a simple explanation of what Mueller said. No one can hear all the other issues because they all focused on the issue which is easily debunked.
I join the dissent about Sundance’s hypothesis. It’s a bridge too far. Sometimes while we twist ourselves into knots and construct elaborate theories, the simple explanation is the one that stares back at us. Durham is simply exposing and presenting the corrupt players and what actually took place in an incontrovertible venue which is a court of law, so that the public can know the truth. That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. The actual verdict is almost inconsequential. Once the vast majority of the American people know the truth. Once seen and heard, it cannot be undone. THEN prosecutions can take place once R’s have congress and WH WITH THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ON BOARD. That must happen before anything else. Simple but powerful strategy. Nothing to do with his bud Barr or anyone else. Sorry. Your thesis does not fly on this one.
Again, Bill Barr proves to be a phony, and no friend of the American people. Why am I not surprised? The proof of Washington DC rot just keeps building and building! All of the bureaucracies need to be sweep clean of their entire leadership and rebuilt from scratch. My guess is that this needs to be done about every 25 to 50 years to stop corruption at the highest levels in all of these agencies.
Sundance, Your incredidle important crew, and of course Loyal Treepers.
ALL, Its painfully obvious whether righteousness prevails or not as the strong indicators show …. We need to compile a complete “history” …. a thorough book or series of books, printed and electronic, subject to additional / newly discovered addendums, data , info etc. … A colossal recording with footnotes ….of all this treason, criminality, and sell out for personal gain.
I must be able to explain with clarity, to teach and show my grandchildren when they are older what happened, when it happened and by named perpetrators.
Sundance I truly hope a project is underway. Moreso to teach my grandchildren and others…. But perhaps decades from now if justice prevails, it will be a textbook in the future throughout schools in America describing how OUR FREEDOM was almost lost.
Semper Fi, JB
Nothing is going to save us except the 2nd Amendment and Founder-like commitment to our cause.
But WHY did Barr do it?
leaving gov’t work, Barr represented Caterpillar Corp in an antitrust suit. The lawsuit also included allegations of bribes, money laundering and specifically violations related to transfer of “technology” to delisted nation states. (yes, caterpillar has some high tech assets that can easily be remolded for military purps).
Barr was successful defending the interests with Caterpillar, by simply slowing the process down to a crawl. After all, it was the US GOVT making the suit against cat!
When Bill Barr was appointed by President Trump (via the select senate committee…read: mcconnel), guess which USG case was dropped?
caterpillar.
Bill Barr was paid (not publicly sourced info) to the tune of around 18 Million Dollars by caterpillar.
So back to the question:
why did Bill Barr do it?
to answer that question one only needs to understand how people like barr operate.
IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY.
period.
bill barr doesn’t squash a proper investigation into his own agency because he is loyal to the brand or even the people his own peers and friends.
No, he does so, because there is great money to be earned and hard money to be protected.
when you hear the phrase potomac two step. It is not simply a phrase to describe how the corrupt operate to side step accountability or to cover up their misconduct. Potomac two steps is performed by the lure and cadence of endless ringing of coins that is the reward for playing the role and getting the win..
bill barr doesn’t work for the USG..he is a paid hired hand. a special kind of attorney that only a secret police spy state could love.
they chose him because he can sell his bullshit live on tv and for the attention deficit american, it sticks.
but we are initiated in the ways of these darks arts.
his days are numbered…the reckoning. it will happen.
to be clear, this is NOT a call to violence.
HIS OWN WILL EAT HIM ALIVE.
Like they ALWAYS DO.
There are no good outcomes when you live a criminal life.
remember this…be true to self. never lie and never steal.
ever
There are many things worse than selling out. ultimately it breaks you and then you lose your spirit, and nearly always the life ends.
He will have his day, because he deserves it.
God Bless America
