Special Council appointed to Investigate the Democrats Role in Russian Probe Origin

[1972Shocker]

They may nab a couple of sacrificial lambs otherwise just more of the usual opacity from the deep state and left wing government. Merrick Garland for sure will not play along.

I'm trying to be balanced and informed. What am I missing? This looks absolutely awful. I haven't been able to watch the Sunday news programs yet, but CBS talked about mask mandates (claiming 56% agree with mandates and rises to 66% when just polling "fully vaccinated" whatever that meaning has today) and Jan 6 with 1 of 2 GOPs that are hell bent on keeping that narrative going (I guess trying to be balanced). No idea what ABC, NBC or Fox had to say. Early news on MSNBC was covering something about Trump VERY secretively packing classified documents away in Mar A Lago (I didn't continue watching) and CNN was on the Jan 6 story. No mention of the Durham report.

So I ask again, what am I missing? It appears to be very damaging for the attorney, the Clintons and likely the DNC and who knows how many in DC. Is there a time (statute of limitations) problem here?

The latest filings by Special Counsel was filed on Friday, Feb. 11, so there has been very little news regarding this being reported this weekend. If history holds true, Fox and the New York Post will be the only news outlets that report the latest on the Durham filings. The court cases will have to actually go to court before any reporting gets out.

Those outlets, along with the social media companies, effectively s————d the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 10 days leading up to the election. When it is understood that those companies are the propaganda arm of the DNC things begin to make sense.

This has been my assumption as well. This latest from Durham is encouraging I must admit though. I haven’t read the actual document but reports indicate (if I recall correctly) that Hillary’s campaign enlisted researchers at a US university to put some of this internet activity together to try to make it look like Trump was communicating with Russia. If that is right then there are quite a few folks involved, and I assume if they haven’t already it wouldn’t be difficult to get those guys talking. I don’t know much about who can do what, but I think Durham himself can bring an indictment…I just don’t know how far he can take it.

Unless people do prison time this kind of BS will continue. Maybe the biggest thing I am looking for in the next president is someone with the guts and communication ability to clean house in our intelligence, federal law enforcement, and (to a lesser extent) military leadership. They are right in the middle of a lot of this garbage and the misinformation that gets through mainstream media. I wish we could just go back to arguing about tax rates but we are light years past that.

Stunning Poll on Durham Probe Is a Killer for Hillary Clinton's Hopes and Dreams

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2022/02/14/stunning-poll-on-durham-probe-is-a-killer-for-hillary-clintons-hopes-and-dreams-n521941

https://nypost.com/2022/02/13/most-democrats-want-hillary-clinton-investigated-for-any-role-in-russiagate-scandal-poll/

The poll, taken by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics in New Jersey last month, asked 1300 people about what they thought about the Durham probe. What was astonishing was that almost 3/4 of those polled who were following the story wanted prosecutors to investigate her and members of her campaign for manufacturing dirt on President Donald Trump. What was most surprising about those numbers was that included 66 percent of Democrats who were following the story, a jump in 20 points from October. Among Republicans, the number was 91 percent. Among independents, it was 65 percent.

That wasn’t the only bad news for the Democrats in the new poll. The people polled also want to stop any Biden family funny business as well. More than two-thirds, or 68 percent, of respondents said they think it’s important that the president’s son, Hunter Biden, and brother Jimmy Biden are walled off from any business involving the administration. That includes communicating with the president and his aides about policy proposals or taking any government jobs or contracts, the majority told pollsters. An equal share of Democrats and Republicans — 71 percent — agreed that the president’s relatives should be kept at arm’s length, the poll found.

Finally, 69 percent of Republicans and 54 percent of Independents think that the media has done a fair to poor job of covering the questionable Biden corruption actions, while 53 percent of Democrats think they’ve done a good job.

My question is what percentage of those polled were following the story?

Report: Ratcliffe Gave Durham Intel That He Said Supports 'Multiple Indictments'

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2022/02/14/report-ratcliffe-gave-durham-intel-that-he-said-supports-multiple-indictments-n521980

The sources pointed to one key piece of declassified intelligence, which Fox News first reported in October 2020, revealing that intelligence community officials within the CIA forwarded an investigative referral on Hillary Clinton purportedly approving “a plan concerning U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

Sources told Fox News that the CIA memo, also known as a Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL), was properly forwarded to the FBI, and to the attention of then-FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok.

On top of that, that intel revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-President Barack Obama on Clinton’s “plan” to tie Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” before the election.

This story is really just breaking today. Fox is doing a lot. I've seen one story on Newsmax, and none on OAN, although I"ve only watched some this morning.

Yesterday, Fox had a short story or two, and I saw none elsewhere during the short time I watched any television. I've seen Leslie Stahl and 60 minutes in her interview with Trump where he said that his campaign was spied upon, and she said "Noooo. There isn't any proof of that" shown twice this morning already on Newsmax and Fox.

Attorney General Barr is just releasing a book that is probably going to detail some of this.

It will get little air time elsewhere.

[wufan]

In the two brief right wing articles I read on the spying, it was implied that the Hillary’s campaign tried to “manufacture false” collusion, though they didn’t actually state that was the intent. It will be interesting to see if this was “just” spying or if this was an attempted set up.

Also, spying on an oppositional presidential campaign isn’t a new thing. This went on long before Nixon (Kennedy for one), but is rightfully frowned upon by the public.

[C0|dB|00ded]

You mean people are still talking about Russia-Gate? LOL!

Newsflash! That only mattered back when it was still up in the air whether Trump was an immoral a-hole. Now that it is abundantly clear what kind of animal we were dealing with, any proactive measures Clinton took just look prescient now.

This is like trying to charge the pizza guy with invasion of privacy for peeping through Cosby's window then calling the cops when he noticed the ol' boy had a couple gals shackled, naked and conked out on the couch.

Spying on a sitting President is espionage, punishable by death, hopefully.

You wanna kill FBI people for wire-tapping an incoming president when there was supposedly legitimate (at the time) tips that he was compromised by Russia? I mean... okay.

Wire tapping and Russia investigations wouldn't have harmed Trump's agenda one iota if he would have handled it in a professional and sane manner telling his entire cabinet to cooperate fully. But he didn't, and that was by design. The Russia investigation galvanized his entire political empire. He owes - whomever - a big thank you for getting the ball rolling.

Who said FBI wire tapped an incoming President, Moron?

Tech Executive-1 refers to the Clinton campaign staff (probably HC too), who colluded with Democrat Attorney’s. FBI found about it during Trump’s Presidency and probably surveilled on a sitting President later on.

Some interesting stuff going on the the Sussman case not that you would know it from the disinformation media:

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Manager Testifies That She 'Agreed With' Leaking False Alfa Bank Story to Reporter

WSJ Editors Eviscerate Hillary, Lapdog Media in Blistering Op-Ed About Russia Collusion Lies

Durham Drops Another Bombshell, Reveals FBI Lied About Hillary Clinton-Supplied Disinformation

While it's interesting stuff, sounds like Durham is up against it with a liberal judge and biased jury and an extremely biased media. So most likely very little will come of it.

FBI Agent at Sussmann Trial Just Dropped a Bomb About an Ongoing Investigation

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2022...gation-n569303

FBI agent Curtis Heide testified Tuesday that he is currently facing an internal investigation for withholding potentially exculpatory evidence from an application for a FISA warrant to surveil someone during their probe of Trump’s 2016 campaign. That wasn’t all. He also said that others who had been involved in the Trump-Russia probe were also being investigated, but he didn’t say who they were or what positions they held at the Bureau.

Heide said the evidence in question was “consensual recordings” of one of the subjects. He did not reveal who was being surveilled. “There are various consensual recordings … and the exculpatory information was not disclosed in the FISA court,” Heide said, adding that the investigation was ongoing and he denied that he’d withheld information.

And the verdict is in as somewhat anticipated:
